Quoting Mr. Kingsley Kuku, the Special Assistant to President Goodluck Jonathan on Niger Delta

Kuku said that the Federal Government had recalled six out of the 38 ex-militants earlier sent to Florida, US, to pursue studies in Marine courses.

He explained the six ex-agitators, who were sent to the US about eight weeks ago were withdrawn from their training institution and recalled home over allegations of misconduct.

He said security agents had seized their travelling passports. The passports, he added, had been sent to the US embassy with request that their visas be cancelled.

My question is why send these hoodlums abroad to tarnish our image when millions of graduates are out there looking for jobs or will all graduates turn to militants before their plight will be looked into?

Because they own the oil that pays the salaries of almost all Nigerians!! It runs in their backyard and for ages they've been denied the benefit. Right now we have to do anything possible to pacify them!!

what are they agitating for in US ? I guess it's resource control again.

Niger would be better rated than Nigeria without oil . . . You are begining to get so agitated and it's taking a toll on how you perceive things . . . Nigeria without oil was still very productive  . . . So don't over emphasize that angle . . . Even though we are allowed ourselves to depend wholly on oil which is a disaster considering the immense untapped and under utilized solid minerals we have. hate the PDP all you like, but the rot in Nigeria started many years ago dating to over 4 decades namely : - Tribalism,sectionalism and nepotic tendencies inherent in all political affiliations in Nigeria.     

Hmmm. So whats going to become of the returned agitators? Will they be included in some other skill acquisition program or have they been completely expelled from the amnesty deal? They should be watched by our security agencies as persons of interest. The temptation to take to their terrorizing ways of the past could become way too strong for them to resist with this development.

Nigeria without oil was still very productive

thank you, thank you, thank you.

Niger would be better rated than Nigeria without oil

thanks again.

They should be jailed depending on the severity of their misconduct. They must also be cut off from the amnesty programme and watched by the security agencies as you suggested.

I strongly disagree with calling any form of struggle in the Niger Delta terrorism, the actions of the country against the ND for 50 years now, have been worse than terrorism and the people have very rightly resorted to violence after trying every peaceful means of protest, only to reap ra'pe and harvest the spilt blood of their precious ones; all at the hands of FG soldiers armed with oil money.

All these terrorists should be killed at Victoria Island BarBeach.   Sending terrorists to the states to learn Marine Course  - what a waste - and a Joke to hardworking Nigerians who cant get a place at those crap universities (glorified secondary schools)

why cant they learn swimming and train as lifeguards.

source please

anoda bad newz,
GOD pls help 9ja out.

You can take the 'Militants' out of the bush but you cant take the 'Bush' out of the militants.

Rebels will be Rebels.

Personally, I think our past and present politicians are in more need of rehabilitation than these so called militants.

I'm sure those guys are full of regrets now. Welcome to power failure, bad roads and poor health care. Stupid boys/men.

Some people will always prefer a life of crime unless you lock them up and throw away the key.

I think Florida' was selected for a reason - its the 'TORNADO' Zone and i think its Tornado Season right now.

Seems like the plan has back fired on GEJ - Unless he can convince them to go to Fukushima, Japan for some training -  

this i chop you chop amensty. My fellow niger deltans better wake up from thier deepest slumber!

Oruebebe and his cohort have milked the region dry in the name of amenisty with close to unbudgeted 300bn naira spent already - YES I SAID 300bn NAIRA- yet GEJ wants this man as his new chief of staff at the presidency.

Show me a priest with little children, then you have seen a paedophile! GEJ has  surrounded himself with criminals, yet he expects us to believe he is a saint. --

I keep arguing that the people who should be held responsible are the likes of Ibori and Co. Federal goverment gave the ND region money for development, but what happened.

I dont believe in this sending people abroad for unmerited training. would it not have been more beneficial to setup and proper institue or college of technology that would benefit all from the region? Would enhancing the Petroleum training institute and the likes have not served better purpose?

For how long are we going to be wasting money in this way? Same old govement with no clue. And before people start shouting, I am from the ND region, and I dont support this rubbish

yeye,

I understand we will feel bad  about this development, for the country and the six folks that have just bungled a rare opportunity,however these folks were not born hoodlums but the society made them one. They were not given a fair chance to succeed from the onset  but nobody listened until they started taking up arms. We all have the duty to ensure that these people  and all Nigerians also have a chance to choose what they want to become.

God bless Nigeria.

and they wont tell us the kind of "misconduct"??

Why are you taking it very personal is your broda amongst the deportees Expected that the first logical question to ask is why them out of 38 Instead of suggesting shipping them to another country which obviously will not accept them if their conduct was gross.Frankly i believe say you neva tell us your true grievance.

So you're telling the whole world now that there are NO unemployed graduates from the Niger Delta who have never taken up arms against their own country?

There are hundreds of thousands out there, man! These people are more deserving of foreign vocational training that these 'reformed' criminals.

please don't mind the LAZY mo.ron

what happened to extra fund from the fg being given to them because they are from ND

what happened the the extra fund ggiven to them by this oil companies

what about the ND people that are employed in this companies

What a mess those guys are to our nation, but come to think of it, we have unemployed graduates in the ND looking for such opportunities but the Fg  PREFER TO CARRY TOUTS TO usa, cos the Fg itself is a collection of touts, with  agbero reasoning .

ITS SIMPLY SHOWs THE LEVEL OF REASONING AT THE TOP,WHERE HOLIGANISM IS GIVEN PRIORITY to COOL MINDED AND HARDWORKING ChAPS,


Gej mistakes are counting,

number one problem of this nation is nothing but ignorance. sorry for Nigerian not NIGERIA.

When would they extend this foreign schorlarship to other groups like Boko haram

hmmmmmmmmm
