Nazgul:
Please which continent is that country? I'm asking for a friend

Charisma01:


I saw that crap, fake report.
Its just to discredit Trump and African countries from curing the virus while they develope a vaccine.
Tell me which country was the trial patient reported to have died from chloroquine?

Its just a fabricated report simple!!!!

dangoteinlaw:
And this is the same drug trump confirmed he's taking and Americans wants to eat him up, good leadership happens every once or twice in a century and trump will go down as one of it.

Lanretoye:
1000 ventilators no reach 10billion naira that was given to Lagos by the FG,we can afford far more than that but...naija corruption fall my hand.

oz4real83:
Most countries are progressing because of some basic principles they practise. "Give and it shall be given unto u good measures, press down, shaken together". Even in the midst of great needs, these countries still help out other countries in need. How many countries have Nigeria helped in Africa in this covid-19 depression period? We are begging and waiting for other countries to give us ventilators even when we are rich enough to afford them. This is one reason small countries don't respect us and require us to have visa before coming to their countries. Nigerian govt are similar to Yahoo boys, they all beg oyibo people for one form of favour or the other. What a shame

SpecialAgent:
Lol, so even trump can be this stup#d

Nigerian = South African

According to the president of the United state

fallout87:
So in short, Trump doesn't know the difference between Nigeria and South Africa lol.

Yet some ignorant dunces here praise him

Ezennwa:
hmm!

Who did Nigeria offend.

JOHANNESBURG -- The U.S. government is donating “up to 1,000” ventilators to South Africa to help the country respond to COVID-19 as the Trump administration addresses criticism that it hasn't done enough for countries in need.

“South Africa is the first country in the world to receive this state-of-the-art equipment” from the National Security Council and USAID, the U.S. Embassy said in a tweet. Last week, however, Mexico said it received a U.S. shipment of 211 ventilators as part of aid promised by President Donald Trump.

The U.S. soon will make similar donations to countries around the world, according to embassy official South Africa has the most confirmed coronavirus cases in Africa with more than 11,300, including more than 200 deaths. Virus cases across the 54-nation continent are now above 66,000.

For weeks, U.S. officials have indicated that the virus crisis at home has delayed the shipment of crucial medical equipment to other countries.

But in recent days the Trump administration has been making plans to ship some 8,000 of the breathing machines to foreign countries by the end of July. The White House has not said how many have been shipped, and it's unclear if some nations would pay for the ventilators, which cost $5,000 to $30,000, depending on the model.

Trump has spoken with the leaders of South Africa, Ethiopia, Nigeria and Kenya in recent days about the pandemic. “Nigeria just called. We’re giving them 250 ventilators,” Trump said last week. In a tweet, he said Ethiopia also had asked for the machines.

Africa has some of the world's weakest health systems, and experts have warned they would be rapidly overwhelmed by the virus. African countries have joined forces with each other and the private sector to compete with richer countries around the world for scarce medical equipment, including badly needed testing kits.

Some African nations also are turning to manufacturing needed equipment themselves, a development that could help speed up industrialization of a continent that has long imported much of its medicines and other health items from abroad.
