The Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP) has appealed to the ex-agitators across Niger Delta states to develop business proposals and ideas for the office to support them to transform into successful entrepreneurs.

The Interim Administrator, of the programme, Col. Milland Dixon Diko (rtd), who made the appeal while addressing leaders of first phase of the amnesty programme drawn from Akwa Ibom and Cross River states over the weekend.

Dikio’s Special Adviser on Media, Mr Nneotaobase Egbe, said in a statement on Saturday that the idea is aide the ex-agitators not to depend on N65,000 monthly stipends anymore but became employers of labour.

Dikio said: “I want to encourage you to bring your ideas and business proposals foreword and let’s support you to become successful entrepreneurs. We will organize business seminars to train and equip you to do good and legitimate businesses.”

“We are no more giving out contracts in the Amnesty office. Unless you are going to train, employ and mentor our ex-agitators. That’s our new philosophy going forward.

“PAP will pay for the training but with the understanding that our people will be employed and mentored afterwards. We are simply adopting the Igbo apprenticeship system so that at the end of the day it’s a win-win for everybody.

“There are endless opportunities beyond the payment of stipends. As a people, we need to take advantage of the opportunities around us to transform our region. For instance, we can exploit our huge maritime potentials to benefit the region.

“Our maritime resource is key to the development of the Niger Delta and it is one sector where people of the region can benefit substantially if they are well trained to harness the enormous opportunities therein.

“Nothing stops you from forming yourselves into cooperatives to enable you access loans to acquire fishing trawlers. It’s important that you start thinking beyond N65k monthly stipends,” he said.

Crumbs and peanuts. When will the famed great Niger Delta take back their soul from their oppressors??!

B

Lol

while they keep equipping the fulanis with more guns to come steal our oil revenue.


never!!!.





we fight for our rights.

So being a terrorist or bandit in this country is a license to being considered for a higher position in this country.

Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

Big scam

One successful enterprise that amnesty money brought forth is AIR PEACE.

Don't ask me how. Ask Kingsley Kuku.

Ok

All the ones Yaradua and Jonathan's government claimed to train abroad, where are they today?

I really think granting scholarship to people must have a condition attached to it. Which is, you must return home to utilize the skill you learnt there and impact others.
But also, the government must create an enabling environment for such skills to be put to use.

Divide and Rule.

If you know, you know

In Australia,when a pupil report late for school,they give him/her bread to eat dry as punishment...We've tried this in Africa, even teachers started coming late.

The last time i spoke about traveling to kaduna from onitsha many of you advise me on how to go about it,

Well thanks alot all finally am in kaduna
We left onitsha on Thursday evening 5pm via chimezie and bros transport and i arrived television garage kaduna by 5:11pm on friday. Our journey was smooth and cool until when we reached orams farm and our luxury smashed a lorry from the back. But they both settled and we move on.

I thank God for the journey mercy and to see me through in what that brought me here...

If you are kaduna and ready to flex me am at ah ngwa side

[

Let me stand here and wait for those people that will quote me so I can give them one one slap

Hahahaha

Saw this ruse coming

So that when they recruit ex Boko haram into the Nigerian army, anyone
who complains will be hushed.

Lol. Business idea like what ? The only business idea they know is how to do oil bunkering, kidnapp foreigners and hijack ships in the gulf of guniea.

Preparing the ground so when you start hearing rehabilitation for the surrendering bandits and iswap/bk boys you know same as been done to ex militants. Very dishonest, cunning set of people we have in government

A nation can only move forward when it's into production and exportation. The Government can greatly help these young guys by engaging most of them in a physical productive work like agriculture and manufacturing of essential products that can be exported for foreign exchange earnings for Nigeria not just portfolio managers.

You think people that side get cow brain?
