Kx:
Is pilot training usually paid for on monthly basis like house rent or annually/periodic upfront like other formal training, especially those done abroad?

If they pay the fees say a year ahead, has buhari done up to a year as presidio already?
Should nt Jonathan and kuku have paid the naija delta trainees fees at least two good years in advance knowing that it was election year and delays in forming a new govt even if Jonathan had won, would one way or another affect the trainees?

Looks like naija delta power brokers saw the militants foreign training as a cash cow and not really out of genuine concern hence this development barely a month after leaving the seat of power.

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.

hustla:



Security wise it is not even a wise Move
These same militants can be trained into something nefarious. I think it was mentioned sometime that Osama used to be in the CIA, and must have spent time gathering information and 'learning on the job'

In the future these militants can be used for aerial bombing and stuff like that

Jonathan is one of the stupidest Presidents we have ever had

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.

Ask Amnesty Programmers How many Akwa Ibom people are among those sent abroad for training then you will know the reason why Buhari has refuse to pay their school fees. Why are some poor parent in the same Niger Delta region suffering to pay children school fees while Jonathan hijack the Amnesty Programme for only the Ijaws as if they are the only tribe in Niger Delta,so all this I know the present Government will not be happy to continue with. The Amnesty Programme favours only the Ijaws and if you go through the Amnesty training list you will realise that most of those names where never militants. They just saw an opportunity and people related to the programme brought in their children to be trained for free by Nigerian Government while we work the street struggling to train our children as if we are not free Niger Delta. The Programme for me is a complete Cheat to humanity, That is why the only set of people protesting right now will be from Bayelsa as the major beneficiaries.

Unlike amnesty militants the chibook girls are victims of violence and to add to that are being sponsored by the American Senate. The cost of the welfare was not undertook by the Nigerian FG
