What was Goodluck thinking or PLANNING before retraining "Ex-Militants" as Pilots in Germany ??

What implication does this have for the security of our air waves in the future ?


13 Ex-Militants dismissed from Lufthansa Pilot Training School in Germany

Niger Delta Amnesty Payments: Women Protest Youths' Expulsion From Lufthansa Flight School

by Sahara Reporters, New York Jul 23, 2015


Hundreds of women from the Niger Delta region staged a protest on Tuesday in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State, against thirteen ex-militants youths’ dismissal from pilot school in Germany because of the federal government’s refusal to pay for their fees under its own Presidential Amnesty Programme.

The thirteen ex-militants were undergoing commercial pilot training at the Lufthansa Flight Training School in Frankfurt, but were last week sent away from the institution due to the nonpayment of their fees. Other Niger Delta ex-militants have also been sent packing by their various institutions in South Africa, Russia, Germany, Ukraine, and several more countries in Europe.

During their march to an office for ex-militant leaders called the Leadership, Peace and Cultural Development Initiative (LPCDI), the protesting women said President Muhammadu Buhari should be held responsible if there is resurgence of violence in the Niger Delta region. “We are warning Buhari that, as mothers, we are already feeling the heat and the gathering of disgruntled youths in our communities. The refusal to pay the amnesty training fees is causing problems in our homes and communities," one said.

Another of the protesting women, Ebiere Ankiomete, lamented President Mohammud Buhari’s “refusal to appoint a substantive Chairman of the Presidential Amnesty Committee to liaise with the Federal Ministry of Finance to pay the amnesty training fund.” She said that delaying until September to make the appointment would have drastic consequences for amnesty beneficiaries already enrolled in approved programs abroad.

LPCDI President and former militant commander Pastor Reuben Wilson appealed for calm but called on President Muhammadu Buhari not to allow the Presidential Amnesty Programme to be starved of funds. He noted the growth of Niger Delta oil production and its substantial contribution to the nation’s coffers, all of which depended upon amnesty payments.

This is no good news. I strongly advise PMB to ensure they finish their various acada programs and return home useful to the society

If this strory is real, there must be someone responsible for the payment of their school fees. Despite the fact that am from d North i honestly feel their pains, the feder Govt gat to do the needful

Hope the emperors at the top are taking note

You cant blame them..they are militants , they control guns, not aircraft.

They were trained as commercial pilots. Or is it an illegitimate pursuit or security breach?

The Jamboree is over.

Should ex-militants be treated very special forever? What they've benefited for the past 8 years under Yaradua / GEJ administration is okay for them.
The reward for vandalism, terrorism and bunkering should not be a lifetime of enjoyment.
Even if the government refuses to pay their fees, there is a reason.
Niger Delta, do your worse.... Nigeria is more than you.

Now, that's not interesting

Fellow Nairalanders, please check out our incredible offer below

"The zone that I got 97% votes cannot be treated (or will be given amnesty) the same way as the zone I got 5% votes(or their amnesty will be terminated" - PMB answering a question during a press conference in the US.


Please fellow Nigerians...the elections are over...

Just imagine BH planning to laden bomb in Vice President's house and they are hidding it from us giving it all sorts of name 'typo'.

VIP house indeed!


They (FG) are bent on giving them (BH) amnesty.
But the act of 'ladenning' the Vice President's house is TREASON.
This will stop them (FG) from freely giving them(BH) amnesty. As there is no amnesty for treason.
Hence the hidding of truth from us.


What a [change] shame.

Jokers. what did their brother Jonathan did when they were sent packing before PMB inauguration?

I think the current administration has to see them through their studies, irrespective of where they are schooling. They can end the amnesty program, but those that are already on course should be financed all through. I hope the federal government will work it out for them.

The payment stopped since the tenure of their clueless son

God help us

Bubu may end up donating attacker helicopters to these guys soon. Thank God you know they are trained unlike the ragtags dealing with your military.

Buhari has a spirit of revenge,there is no doubt about it!

IT IS NOT THE FAULT OF PMB. FPGEJ OUGHT TO HAVE PAID THEIR FEES BEFORE MAY 31ST. PMB IS AT THE MOMENT REVIEWING POLICIES OF THE PAST ADMINISTRATIONS AND MAY ONLY PAY THE FEES AT THE END OF THE REVIEWS

where as some chibok escapees are busy enjoying scholarships abroad and speaking American phonetics

Jonathan brought dis upon himself, must dey be sent outside naija 2 study? Shiooo!

No betta comments so far
Pmb is just taking precaution so dat dis trained pilot militants havin gathered knowledge bout the air space...dont come bak holding d country at ransome...

I am currently in Greece, INDEPENDENTLY sponsoring myself, i hope Nigerian Government helps youths with aspirations of being pilots. Let their be sponsors for young boys and girls from the North, East, West and South of Nigeria, in the next 10 years, the world would need over 500,000 pilots...I am gonna be one of them (We are not gonna help the economy by chunking out Musicians every day )my name is Stephen and I AM THE BEST PILOT IN THE WORLD... if you need info call moi on +30 694 569 2131.
(the ones in Greece have finished theirs)

Dis is very bad if it is true, d president should do d needful

GOOD THINKING. MAKE SENSE. GOD BLESS YOU.

Hmnm.. . am not surprised, Lagos Metro was also stopped... Training them as commercial pilots is enough comfort for them... Taking it away from them is not good..

A negative change for them. Too bad.
