Of course l will. Wike and Amaechi are two sides of the same coin, none is a Saint!

Well Gov Wike is just being sincere and truthful to his people. There's no fund to cater for them any longer after all the state money have been looted all in the name of "CHANGE" that will NEVER come to pass. I'm still glad he will finance their education here in Nigeria. I wish the students best of luck in their endeavors
You would have been the first to wail if Buhari had transfered ex-militants studying abroad to Nigerian universities for the same reason Wike is giving. Hypocricy!

The Rivers State government came up with the decision and if l had a family member amongst those studying abroad l will rally around to see that he/she graduates there than coming back home, no matter what it takes or should l waste money suing the State government?

What do l personally have to gain rooting for either Amaechi or Wike when both are contributing nothing to my existence. Go through my threads and posts. it will be clear to you that these two men are very far from my interests.

It is so sad that anything Rivers State has been zeroed down to either Pro Amaechi or Pro Wike as if one is no longer capable of having an independent view of issues! angry

Smelling hypocrites. If Buhari decideds to withdraw all the millitants and other Nigerians on Scholarship for this same reason. U and your goons will be running helter skelter unclad, liking and posting comments attacks on Buhari

Even though I'm going to wail, those it mean the truth shouldn't be told. Now all of u have keep quiet hoping for better things to happen tomorrow, whereas in the next three years to come this is how the country is still going to be like.

Its a terrible thing, how did we get to this point? There needs to be a mental reawakening.

would you have said this if it was BUHARI?
Surely they would have shouted to the high heavens that PMB doesn't know what to do or that he is against Nigerians having education they would have said all sort of rubbish just to play opposition ,it's their party man now and they can't criticize . Hypocrites

u are obviously a child, u know nothing, the scheme has been on since 2008, all the graduates that have been produced all these while what significant difference have they Made? Is it any different from same input Nigerian graduates are making Here? It's best time we start appreciating and patronising our own..... If the courses they are been sent to offer abroad are high tech course Nigeria can't offer it becomes a different case...

Child, when adults are conversing, just keep quiet, listen , that way you will learn more...

Wike has never been my favourite, I worked against him and voted against him in the past election, but I must say, this action of his is very much in order and nationalistic.... He should carry on.... nice one sire, well done...
Calling someone "child" only establishes your own childishness. Instead of attempting to be patronizing and coming off badly in the process, how about making a logical argument instead?

What passes for "thought" in the midst of all your jibes is simply laughable. By your reasoning, it was a total waste of time sending both Nnamdi Azikiwe and Okonjo-Iweala to America to study, as they both spent several years afterwards abroad acquiring further experience, instead of returning home straightaway. If this isn't an illustration of a short-term mentality on your part, nothing is.

Cheap nationalistic rhetoric might score you some "likes" from the envious and the ignorant, but the idea that even the best Nigerian universities (let alone a place like RSUST) are on-par with Oxbridge, the Ivy League, MIT, Caltech and Stanford, is simply delusional. Not a single Nigerian university ranks in the top 1,000 places on the most widely-used index

http://cwur.org/2015/

but feel free to keep lying to yourself that studying in Nigeria is an acceptable alternative for the brightest young people we have to offer - young people who have proven themselves able to compete with the world's best and even outshine them, when they've had the opportunity to do so.

I'm not really suprised people in Nigeria consider this decision logical and best for the economy, because most of you don't really have an idea of what this means to the be students and families involved. As an international student I see and know first hand the daily struggles with this issue and the excuse for such decision is even more appalling. Lack of funds? I think they could have come up something better. My point is, while I don't expect Nigerians to be sad, I don't also expect supportive comments to the government either because decisions like this set the nation lite years behind. This students are being schooled in a developed nation with hope of returning and making use of their skill but no..."we cant lose our legal pocket money for that". God bless Nigeria sha
Btw those ranting about Nigerian guaduates being better than those schooled abroad, with all due respect to our educational system and to you, hope you know that another myth in Nigerian educational system?
Ps proud Nigerian anyday, just shedding some truth

Truckpusher, move this thread to fp.
Lol,why would Amaechi allocate scholarship to his cronies who in turn allocated such to their wards , kids and relatives after stealing the people dry ?

If any scholarship scheme is to be embarked upon it should be solely based on merit irrespective who gets it at the end of the day as long as he or she is a native of Rivers State .
Let them come back or fend for themselves joor!
