Britain has halved the amount of money given to Nigeria in humanitarian aid, saying the country's government must "step up and do more" to stop Boko Haram extremists.

It follows a joint visit by Boris Johnson, the Foreign Secretary, and Priti Patel, the International Development Secretary, to Nigeria to see the UK’s response to the humanitarian crisis, where they saw how British military had been training Nigerian soldiers to fight militant Islamist group Boko Haram.

Last night the Government announced £200million of aid funding for the four years from 2018 to 2022. It amounts to £50million per year, half the amount given for 2017.

Ms Patel said: "My job isn't just to give aid and give money, my job is to make sure that money goes further and that we leverage that with the Nigerian government to make them step up and do more."

The emergency aid money has been pledged to save lives and rebuild parts of Nigeria destroyed by Boko Haram, the Government has announced.

Ms Patel had announced £100million in humanitarian support for 2017 earlier this year.

In 2016, around £70million of humanitarian support was provided.

In a statement Ms Patel said: “It is catastrophic that at least 20,000 people have been murdered by Boko Haram’s terrorist regime, and over five million people have been left hungry and many homeless. Babies’ bodies are shutting down and mothers who have lost everything are fighting to keep their children alive.

“Global Britain is a country that stands tall in the world and the UK will not turn its back on people living in danger and desperation.

“We are leading the way on the international stage through our world-class development, defence and diplomacy, providing a lifeline to over 1.5 million people on the brink of famine, tackling Boko Haram and pushing for global aidreform to deliver help more effectively.

“Terrorism knows no borders and the Nigerian Government must now follow our lead to stop innocent people dying and securing the area so that people can rebuild their lives in safety – reducing the threat of radicalisation and migration for the UK at home.”

Mr Johnson said: “This is about helping a Commonwealth partner in its time of need as well as addressing the root causes of international challenges.”

They should stop it completely. The ones they have given goes to only one mans pocket and we don't know what they do with it.
The last time I checked, the food that was meant for IDP in cross river and Akwa Ibom was found in someone's warehouse.


Also in the north food donated by Saudi Arabia for IDP was found been sold in the market.

Buhari again , you all have now seen another disaster that dunce called Buhari has brought on Nigeria.
Why won't Britain cut their aid,when Nigeria's president can stay in the UK for near one whole year feeding fat (or feeding lean in the dullard's case) on the scarce resources of Nigeria and Nigerians didn't call for his head as the senators refused to kick or flush him out of the presidency

I just blame the dullard for this, his govt has brought nothing but evil practices and suffering upon Nigerians, may maggots and bacteria feast on his rotten vegetable flesh

The people who brought evil practices and suffering upon Nigerians ARE Nigerians like you!

no one asked Nigerians to produce more children than their incomes can cater for.
No one asked you to spend money on god and pastors for absolutely nothing in return.
No one asked you to believe in juju which has hindered science and technology.
No one asked you to classify farming as for poor man, preventing diversification of the economy!

you see where this is going f00l.

Stop fibbing. China, Pakistan and, especially India, receives aid.

You may be Indian but I'm going to state the following here:

Nigerians don't understand the nature of many Indians. Indians are your worst enemy. If you understood their nature,you'd probably be correct if you supposed that Priti Patel (the International Development Secretary )worked to stop AID going to Nigeria. Indeed, If she could work it so that no African Nations received AID from UK she would just so that all the AID go to her people in India. Britain/ UK Whites often put Indians in places of influence when they want to act in prejudice against blacks. For instance, right now, the UK wants to employ approximately 5000 doctors from Abroad. As things stand, these doctors are wanted from Europe and ,if possible, from Australia, New Zealand and so on. But there's no telling if doctors may be sort from anywhere in the world. Now, If there is an Indian anywhere near the decision making process, they will ensure that doctors from Nigeria and rest of Africa (except white /Asian South Africans) are excluded.
