The Federal Government on Sunday sent 74 ex- militants from the Niger Delta region to University College, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, for a three-year degree programme.

The Special Adviser to the President on Niger Delta Matters, Kingsley Kuku, while speaking prior to the departure of the transformed ex-militants said the 74 men, in line with the government’s post amnesty programme, had undergone non-violence transformational training in Obubra, Cross River State, and found fit to acquire educational training overseas.

Kuku said the men would do three to four-year courses in engineering, business administration and other related fields. Before now, 292 ex- militants had been sent to South Africa and Ghana for vocational courses and with the present batch, a total of 366 ex- militants had gained from government’s post amnesty training programme.
He revealed that in the coming weeks, more delegates would travel to countries including Philippines, Russia, Romania, United Kingdom, United States of America, Egypt, Poland and the Netherlands to commence various types of training.

[size=20pt]WTF?[/size]

many are already there.

they might even like it and extend their stay.

nigeria has a big export which is males.

females too, i guess, what with the transaharan routes and all.

this is unbelievable,

nw wa o!just make a little trouble and u`ll be respected and taken care of(settled).violence seems to be the only language nigerians understands.my friend`s dad died and his late dad`s biz partner swallow money accrued from the bizness and was even trying to eat up the company`s asset.it wasnt until my friend burst into his house @5:00am with a loaded gun that the so called bi partner called for peace and gave my friend his own share of the company`s asset.now,my friend`s a big boy drivind a lexus jeep and living in his own property @ lekki,with kids attending the best school in the area and his wife look and living like a queen with his mum and siblings adequately taken care of.imagine that.o`boy e be like say i go turn militant o!

If this is how dem go trit them,i beg militancy na the way to go.just disturb the creek small and gbam!!! you don land for embassy to travel.who go sell me dane gun i beg.

Wtf indeed.

Didn't know militancy was so profitable.

How come the OPC boys didn't get an amnesty + paycheck + free college education to the US too?

reward for Bad behaviour

Those OPC guys no get levels!!!!

And at the same time, Youth Corps members are struggling to survive on a meagre stipend!
I thought the Amnesty program was meant to rehabilitate these fellows, not reward them. These people committed crimes against the state and were pardoned, must we now turn over all our money to them just because they were ex-millitants? Where is the Amnesty program for Boko Haram?

Wow!!, nice one, just ship them out!!, People that dont have S.S.C.E AND JAMBE.T.C, Are being sent to read mechanical engineering WHat on earth is that?, Is this a joke or for real?, Any as someone mentioned, We have surplus unemployed, since we dont have industries, we might as well just ship them out!!They can at least do menial jobs in these countries, by the time they come back(If they do) them go get small sense at least i know countries like Malaysia you either behave or you rot in prison.Not like Nigeria at all!!

I forgot to add, since our educational system has failed, its a good way for Jonathan's relatives to get quality education at least, no be only S.W AND S.E Go get notable persons brandishing first class education left right and centre!!, Good job GEJ!!

Being an ex-militant is looking good right about now.
R they giving away houses in PH yet?
someone let me know when GEJ wants to do more for his riff-raff relatives.
i'd go become a militant.

kai i 4 join mend o so dat i go school 4 abroad. Amnesty good o. Make i go join boko haram so dat if dem carry dem go russia 4 study i follow.
Seriously its gud 4 dem i hope oil exploration can continue in peace. But wat happened 2 our naija universities.

Going to Phillipines and Egypt for serious training? The same way our president went to Saudi Arabia for medical attention while the Saudi king flew to Usa for a minor back operation? I no go die. Where else will they go for trainings? Laos and Burma? This people in govt dont know their left from their right,

Well that good,but i need help o o o.

nice one, just ship them out!!,

exactly.

to ghana, south africa, libya, etc.

You have killed me dude. Two minutes of straight laughter reading this post of yours.

This is a RIDICULOUS ACT, GEJ had better be Dreaming.!!!! This could Mean Alot to different People. Na Wahoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

It seems like the only thing that the Nigerian government understands is violence.

Good step

Graduate are out with no job and the government are busy sponsoring terrorist.     This country is fuckkkkkkkkkk!!!!!!!!!!

May you live long Mr president! Spend as much money as you can on the militants as you can.

Those before you did thesame thing on their kins when in power. We have people celebrating an ex-con bode george and they are blaming you for trying to rehabilitate your people,,,, A beg make we hear something God bless tribalism, and I must thank    "general overseer" of tribalism-awolowo.

People need to stop this "bad-belle-ing" of these brave militants. If you don't like them getting paid for their good works of fighting OIL greed by non-oil producing and parasitic states in nigeria (we know them), then pick up a gun and fight them. How many of the ND citizens own OIL blocks? Crooks from the north and SW are stealing OIL money and celebrating IBB, OBJ,bode george and co.

Long live the militants and our dear GEJ, the C-in-C. If you don't like, go sip on a concentrated acid. Nonsense!

May tribalism continue to flourish in nigeria-AMEN. The more tribalism grows, the better,,,,,,at least it will help bring that devil's dungeon to an end quickly.
All man to himself. Damn! can't wait for that useless country to disintegrate,,,,,,we know de people wey go yamutu and starve to death when there will be no more oil money to steal.

On second thought, knowing the region that they are coming from, I can understand why GEJ would want to send these militants to university.

Better to have them as college graduates than a militant.

tpiah!:

God bless you my brother, just look at all their post, all of them fvcking parasites!!

Apparently your memory returned back to you momentarily and you managed to sound reasonable for once.

There you go again in your confused world.

I suppose the Boko Haram guys should start prepping to go study in China too!

Why do complain too much, This program was plan by our former president Musa Yar adua before his natural exit.If president Goodluck Jonathan has done the completion by send the creeks boys abroad he should not blamed he did the right thing. If it because FG have encouraged these boys and are such you want to be a militant you are welcomed but pray that yours wont land you in heaven. We must convert these Niger Delta homiest to repent from their heinous crime against Humanity . Bravo Mr PRESIDENT GEJ.

Na Sambo go settle Boko Haram people when he gets there if he would get there because that 2015 go bloody.

If it was Buhari, its gonna be "Kill the Bloody Mofos"

@alex101: Just too naive. If you have something valuable and are too weak to protect it, it will be taken away from you. That is the just the way of the world. Nobody "owns" anything in this life unless they can defend it.

Let me go ahead and dissect the rest of your post, line by line

alex101:

Keep spending money sending those militants abroad. Might cause you to lose an election, though No wahala.

Those before you did thesame thing on their kins when in power.

Who? When? When were former militants send abroad to study?

We have people celebrating an ex-con bode george and they are blaming you for trying to rehabilitate your people,,,, A beg make we hear something

Wait. . . the guys who are celebrating Bode George are in the same party as GEJ. Otherwise, what is the connection?

God bless tribalism, and I must thank    "general overseer" of tribalism-awolowo.

This, I can agree with. God bless Awolowo as well.

People need to stop this "bad-belle-ing" of these brave militants. If you don't like them getting paid for their good works of fighting OIL greed by non-oil producing and parasitic states in nigeria (we know them), then pick up a gun and fight them.

Is a dumb policy. But if he wants to implement it, then pay off everybody's militants, not just his own.

How many of the ND citizens own OIL blocks? Crooks from the north and SW are stealing OIL money and celebrating IBB, OBJ,bode george and co.

So less oil block ownership => sent militants abroad to study   How do the two connect?

Long live the militants and our dear GEJ, the C-in-C. If you don't like, go sip on a concentrated acid. Nonsense!

May tribalism continue to flourish in nigeria-AMEN. The more tribalism grows, the better,,,,,,at least it will help bring that devil's dungeon to an end quickly.

Sigh. You don't get it. Whether Nigeria stays or scatters, the oil-producing communities will be dominated by outsiders, one way or another.

If you want to leap from the frying pan (Nigeria) into the fire (China, US, Shell). . . so be it.

Plus the thing is, if Nigeria separates. . . well, I feel a lot less bad about pillaging my neighbor/enemy for resources than I do my countryman. Up to ya'll. . . however you wanna play the game, we can play it.

@ Eku-bear

Lets just agree that tribalism reign supreme in nigeria.

Again, may tribalism continue to flourish in nigeria.

Lets us all be happy for these militants. Their boy is there, this is the only time they can get there own share,,,,,,,at least before a new "captain" takes

over the ship.

When Jona does a stupid thing, it's UMYA's program he's continuing. So when will Mr. Jona start doing his own thingy?
