29 repentant Niger Delta militants recently trained in aviation academies in South Africa as pilots are to be type-rated by German carrier, Lufthansa Airlines in Frankfurt, Germany, and CAE Aviation facility, Oxford, United Kingdom.

The ex-militants, trained under the platform of Presidential Amnesty Programme, PAP, would be type-rated in Boeing and Airbus aircraft, having acquired Private Pilot Licenses, PPL, and Commercial Pilot Licenses, CPL.

Special Adviser to the President on Niger Delta and Chairman Presidential Amnesty Programme, Mr Kingsley Kuku, yesterday, in Lagos at a conference on oil theft and illegal oil bunkering in the Niger Delta, said officials of Lufthansa Airlines and CAE Aviation will be in the country next week to follow up on the development.

He expressed delight that the two aviation institutions accepted to give the pilots type-rating courses, and advised the pilots not to allow themselves to be carried away by the success recorded so far.

Kuku, who noted that more of the ex-militants were being trained in aircraft piloting in South Africa, Greece, Jordan and United Arab Emirates, also implored the pilots to re-double efforts and perform better than they did at the Afrika Union Aviation Academy and Flight Training Services in South Africa.

Didnt America at one point label MEND a terrorist? Has that status been withdrawn?

I truly want to see if America will ever allow a terrorist, active or ex, to fly an aircraft over its sky.

Where I come from, we value education so much in fact we've always been the best since 19th century. However in this 21st century, I found myself identifying with other people who are being FORCED , BEGGED , BRIBED , PAMPERED, PETTED AND PAID to get educated not really because they wanted an education but to keep them from committing crimes.

However, the simple truth is that most of them will show who they are and what they are made of when they get over there. We've seen it in Unilag, Cyprus , South Africa and every other places they are being sent to get an education !
