Eradiri said he and other Ijaw leaders had been appealing for calm and for them not to take to the streets, nor go back to the creeks.

nice move. let their be equal benefit for all nigerians

They would keep whining until they tire. As for this "amnesty militants" returning to the creeks, mbanu! it wont happen.

Back in the days the militants had nothing to loose, but now, they are big boyz , living flashy lifestyles... they cant afford to leave all that for the mosquito & diseases infested creeks.

... that amnesty allawee they've become so used to has rendered them useless. They are nothing but paper tigers!

It's the truth, you think £90,000 is just tuition, what about housing, feeding and other expenses for 3 or 4 years. Real education is expensive!

Or else they would reduce the derivation or even abolish it completely, Saro Wiwa's death would become meaningless if that happens.

[b]It's no way possible for that amount you are quoting. I studied in the UK and still here. Not in hell's name is it possible. Tuition fees range from £9000-£11000 and upkeep is stated as £1020 monthly but with £400 you can survive and survive well unless the person fritters money away in clubs or indulges in gambling or other vices. And Bachelor's degree is 3 years here in UK. I can safely say with £50,000 one can study and finish a 3 years course in UK.

That's even the expensive bits there. Colleges here are way cheaper and offer same degrees as the Universities because of affiliations and strategic alliances. There is a college here in London you can actually study for 2 years and get a Bachelors degree in Business or Computing for £7000. And that's the fees for the whole tuition 2 years. Normally you are not required to buy textbooks or handouts. Everything is mainly E-learning and you can access the library online 24/7. You may decide to purchase hard-copies if you're that type that prefers reading from there, else it's not mandatory.

Even the £50,000 i quote self na for London alone. other cities are way cheaper. [/b]

abbey621:


I can't help but laugh at your shrewd analysis, you seem to use the word impossible carelessly! What works for Peter might not work for Paul, you can have people finish a 3 year course in the UK for £50,000 or less yet there are many who've achieved such feat spending way more than £50,000. Just like any country, the more prestige the institution, the higher the tuition. The same London you quoted we can see schools with tuition well over £20000 per year, so when you see someone pointing out education cost can reach £90000 don't be so quick to refute!

President, Ijaw Youth Council Worldwide, Mr. Udengs Eradiri, has raised the alarm over the plight of over 6,000 Niger Delta students on Federal Government’s scholarships in some foreign universities.

He said the authorities of the foreign universities had started delisting the students, majority of whom were Ijaws, due to the alleged Federal Government’s failure to pay the students’ fees.

Eradiri, who made the revelation at a news conference on Tuesday in Yenagoa, appealed to President Muhammadu Buhari and other well meaning Nigerians to wade into the matter to save the students.

He said the students’ plight was compounded by the vacuum in the Presidential Amnesty Programme because of absence of an administrator for the programme.

The IYC boss said the amnesty programme had of recent been beset with a lot of bureaucratic bottlenecks due to absence of an administrator.

He therefore urged President Buhari to appoint an administrator for the programme or do whatever he could with “the executive power he wields to ensure that somebody begins to take responsibility in that office.”

He said he had been under intense pressure in trying to maintain the peace in the region because stipends to ex-agitators had not been paid for the last two months.

Eradiri said he and other Ijaw leaders had been appealing for calm and for them not to take to the streets, nor go back to the creeks.

He stressed that they had been appealing to them to give President Buhari an opportunity to run government.

“I want to use this opportunity to call on the Niger Delta leaders, well meaning Nigerians and President Muhammadu Buhari to the fact that the cause of the vacuum in the presidential amnesty programme is as a result of the change in leadership.

“It has begun to tell on the lives of our young ones that are undergoing university training as a result of the amnesty programme in various countries – America, United Kingdom, London, South Africa and other African countries where we have young Nigerians.

“These young Nigerians who are undergoing education and training scattered round the world, because of the bureaucratic nature of the programme, the funding used to be month by month, most of the upkeep of the students is usually on a monthly basis.

But for two months now, the students have not been paid; the financial obligations to the institutions have not been met and so we heard the shocking news that some of the institutions have started delisting some of the students studying there.

“As for the UK, we know that rents are paid monthly and when the stipends are paid, these students also pay their rent. As I speak to you, a lot of them now are being thrown out of their accommodation; they are all on the streets.”

He said the matter was getting to a breaking point where they could no longer hold them (youths) back because “we have been doing that with just the word of mouth and the goodwill we enjoy as leaders. But when government fails to do their own part, then very unfortunately, we will not be able to maintain the peace as it was in the last few months.”
