If true, BRILLIANT!

Now what we need is for all those people who support this type of behavior , indirectly encouraging such uncouth acts, should set up fund to support those students.

BlackPikiN: President Goodluck Jonathan has withdrawn sponsorship for six Niger-Delta students at the Peoples Friendship University in Moscow, Russia.

The students are part of the 24-student delegates studying in the university under a special scholarship scheme for Niger Delta youths.

The students were found to be part of a group of students that attacked the Nigerian embassy in Moscow, on Monday.

And for going on rampage and violently attacking the Nigerian mission, the government says these students breached the code of conduct for delegates on scholarship that they signed before their departure from Nigeria’.

He described their action as gross misconduct, which the Nigerian government cannot tolerate.

The students said they had gone on rampage because they were owed their in-training allowance for six months.

As usual, person Jonathan!

First of all, you are withdrawing a benefit you are not providing at all or regularly.

Secondly, the Silverback Gorilla would not order an investigation into why they were not getting their allocation and why they had to resort to the "misconduct".

When we have fucktards like Jonathan running Nigeria, the evil-doers will always get away with it and even can get national award.

The daftest President this country has ever seen.

They did not go on merit. They were taken there on militancy, to be sustained by militancy and eventually deported by militancy.

For six good months, their allowances was denied them. And some people are here blaming them their misconduct. These people were supposed to be rehalibitated and given a chance at fair life. And the government, simply for want of reason,choose to terminate their scholarships. What an insensitive government!

malc619: Why did the Govt owe them six(6) months allowance......
why owe them at all? I dont knw how nigerians judge whn they have their shit on them. Shie they want to pass a law that if u owe any person his entiltlment over a week when due, u are to be arrested and ask to pay a huge fine for it. Then why dont they apply their mind or If they pass D law to this issue. All this inefficiency are D major, D hub cause of corruption dis in Civil or working sector of this country, ppl have to find alternative means to sustian whn there is insensitivity by govt. If those student has gone to steal, how will it look on nigeria?

The likes of you will remain in thesame Economic state of mind with no economic lift angry angry angry, so just cos they are being sponsored they should shut up and accept the embeslement of thier allocation right? dont forget, these monies where probably generated from thier farm lands and ponds taken over by oil exploration.

If what is provided below is accurate account of what transpired, I'd say this group of students were seriously misguided.
While there is little doubt they had every right to be aggrieved, to begin with; trashing the embassy over an unrelated issue of protocol (the Sokoto state governor's portrait) was not best way to channel expressions of disquiet.

The Reason We Attacked Nigerian Embassy In Russia – Niger-Delta Youths



Niger-Delta students on scholarship in Peoples Friendship University of Russia have justified their attack on the Nigerian Embassy in Russia.

In a statement released by one of the students, Okoriko Maxwell, he gave an account of the events that led to their action citing the nonchalant attitude towards one of their mates who was in dire need of medical assistance.

The statement reads:
“We were angry because the executives of the students visited the embassy for dialogue, we also put calls through to the Consular notifying them that two students needed serious medical attention but the embassy refused to take any action or come to their aid even as they await operation.

“The embassy in a recent meeting represented by the Consular and Deputy Head of Missions promised that we should give them one week to contact the head of education in the Niger Delta Scholarship Office which we did but they have till date refused to give us the feedback. Mr. Raymond Ekpobodo on the 28th of January 2013 gave the embassy the sum of 442,971.62 rubles (more than 13 thousand dollars) belonging to the students as the remains of funds used in paying students tuition fee. This money was received by the consular.

“According to Mr. Raymond Ekpobodo, he was trusted by the former head of education in the programme, Mr. Patterson Ogon, to help him and pay stipends of students after which the receipt for the payment be given to the embassy because the man who was supposed to coordinate the students according to the former head of education did not meet the requirements of being awarded a contract, the embassy promised to add some money to the existing one which will be used for payment of students’ stipends, but for more than nine months, the embassy never accounted for this money even when we told them that we have not paid for medical insurance. We therefore demanded for this money to enable us take two of our students to the hospital which they never provided. Heaven can bear us witness that we have met with the embassy.”

“We tabled our problems for four time but they never bring this money to save the lives of these two students who are still unable to attend classes because of their ill-health.“We destroyed the furniture in the embassy because, we saw the billboard of the Sokoto state governor very large in the reception hall of the embassy, as civilized students, we see it as betrayal, unpatriotic and uncalled for to hang the portrait of Governor Aliyu Wamako on the wall of the conference hall of the embassy.

“The Defence Attache of the Nigerian mission in Russia, Air Commodore OluRotimi A. Ogunjobi who was the only principal officer pleaded with us the students and did his best by giving us evacuation fee to enable us vacate the premises and transport ourselves home. In that regards, we decided to live the embassy, five students have already left as we were all about to live back to the school. But to our greatest Surprise, a group of police men numbering up to 30 and above drove in through the back door of the embassy, they forcefully arrested us into the police BLACK MARIA VAN, we were then 16 because five persons already left the embassy. That was why every news headline only accounts for 16.”

“The police released us after confirmation from the Rector of the university that we the affected students have no records of hooliganism, or any traceable crime record with the university coupled with the efforts and attestation of Patriotic Nigerians for our outstanding records since our arrival in the Russia Federation on the 17th of March 2011. We were released after 19 hours under detention.

“We appeal to the office to contact the University for Further Investigation about some false allegations which was directed against us. We are proud to state here that we have never exempted ourselves from school and the university is our witness. “We therefore appeal to the president of the federal republic of Nigeria to terminate the appointment of Amb. Assam Ekanem Assam. He is unprofessional and lacks managerial qualities, apart from the fact that he relegated the embassy to the status of a police post.”

For god sake why is everybody blaming the student, mayb u think it's easy to cope with moneyless in foreign country. Not paying allowance for six months and i also heard that two of the student need medical attention and they turned to the government to help them out because they had no money but the government refused. So tell me if there's point in throwing the students to the lion because they tried to save a life?
