yeah 32 is geriatric pregnancy in the uk. You are in the geriatric pregnancy ward 🤷🏽‍♂️

diamond68:
Hmm geriatric pregnancy they call it

TONYE001:
Hahahahahahaha @ your last statement.

Thanks for shedding your thoughts on the matter.

Had indeed been a great discussion.

TONYE001:
How exactly can I be accused of emotional blackmail? I don't see how though.

Again, true, there are poor people on the streets. In fact, one doesn't necessarily need to be poor to be in need. Rich people run into needs too, sometimes needs that money can't sort out.

But, again, helpers are entirely free to choose whether or not to act in that capacity. There is no blame existing anywhere in the world to cast at them...especially when they have been helping for decades.

My natural reaction to the news of America's withdrawal as we've all read here is deep sadness. I do feel for those that will be directly or indirectly affect (note that WE ALL will be affected, directly or indirectly). But, I had to establish objectivity; these guys have done a whoooooolllleee lot for us and other nations like us. I surely cannot blame them for their decision. Nope. May I not stand any day to throw blames at anyone that once helped me in the past...yeah, it's how I see it.

What is even more annoying is that if our leaders were serious, we would most likely be able to cater for our PLHIVs. It's just a matter of proper planning and honesty; these ingredients, sadly, are lacking in the heads of our politicians. We are not like any other nation that may be truly unable to cater for their PLHIVs.

May God help us all.

TONYE001:
Trump is less than a month in power. You and I would have to patiently wait to observe the ripples of his decisions before we conclude whether he is worsening the situation of poor Americans.

Giving remains an act of benevolence, not obligation. Glad we both agree on this. Any day my helper decides not to help me any further, rather than cast blames at him, I'd thank him for the years he has helped me, and probably hate myself for not working my way out of a being in need of his aid.

And, no, I am not rich; whether I help others or not is far from our current discussion. And while we are making moral arguments out of a giver's decision to discontinue in his act of benevolence, we should note that we would be found guilty in the same moral compass - feeling entitled doesn't sound like a good moral endeavour.

About the proportion narrative, you are perfectly correct here...it's biblical, as a matter of fact. But let's look at effects, outcomes, or impacts. If by the law of proportion America gives way more than others, this still proves the fact that they are mostly responsible for the positive outcomes end-countries experience; so, they still do more work. By the way, if we go the proportion way, shouldn't China (to be fair, let's not consider India) be a bigger/better giver?

As I see it, quoting morality is an attempt to emotionally blackmail Trump and his country, and this is entirely unfair. I still maintain that for the years of good America has done, they should be forever appreciated....even if they decide to re-strategize their expenditure with hopes of prioritizing their citizens.

TONYE001:
Great response; I like your balanced view.

1. Rich nations helping poorer countries is not an obligatory arrangement or agreement. It's entirely up to them to decide to continue providing help, or not. As much as 55% of Americans cannot afford healthcare readily. The American housing problem is general knowledge so I won't bother quoting any stat. My point is, Trumps citizens have got major problems. I see nothing wrong if he has decided to reroute funds to prioritize his citizens. I don't get why people are blaming the man, honestly. Do note, however, that this is just HIV and related issues. Our country still enjoys other aids from the USA.

2. I honestly don't think Trump's decision, or series of decisions, in the past few days are hit backs at anti-Americanistic societies or groups. Sincerely, I do think these are frank efforts to ensure his citizens become and remain priority.

Tolupage:
I laugh many a times when people on this forum be claiming US doesn't render aid for free and that they're getting back from these countries.

My question used to be what are they getting from Nigeria that is worth the billions they pump into this country annually.

Now they've got a president who doesn't give an F about others and just wanna MAGA everybody is criticizing him.

He has only temporarily stopped funding for HIV pepfar project, if they decide to cut funding by 50% across board, body go really tell Nigerians, at that time we go know say Tinubu policy never really show people shege.

For all the rubbish USA do across the world, they give back in proportionate/more measure to a lot of other countries

Jetland:
Blame your government who wants to join BRICS.
They should start asking China and Russia to give them the AID.

TONYE001:
I've worked with an international HIV-care-delivering NGO; I know the implication of this piece of news...and nope, I'm not celebrating it. It is indeed a sad day for our PLHIVs, their relatives, and the government as the burden of the disease is about to skyrocket.

The above is true.

But it is also true that Trump did not do anything wrong in this decision. It is not the responsibility of America to care for our sick. The man is simply prioritizing his country and citizens, and I honestly admire his moves...right from his first term as president.

We must maintain objectivity. It's hypocritical that our government take antagonizing positions in international policies as regards the USA, many of us have negative thoughts towards the country...and in the same breath, we want to continue benefiting from their policy. Why?

Our leaders and their corrupt heads should be held responsible for their longstanding failure to care for their sick populations.

Namaster:
Tears of a FOOL!

Trump is doing EXACTLY what he promised to do.

You CANNOT vote for someone who promised to carry out MASS DEPORTATIONS and turn around to WAIL about him carrying out said deportations.

Plus, a Latino WOMAN voting for a known racist and rapist is like a chicken going for a vacation inside a lion's DEN.

It's MADNESS!

DrAda:
Oh well, I called it

arkad321:
Trump is a,very cruel man. He is aiming for mass indirect murder.
People who cant even afford food how can they afford the expensive Arvs?

Neddstark:
Let Nigerian government fund it then.

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
Very good.

That's what it seems on the surface, but deep down it's actually a coalition of Uganda and Rwanda against Congo DR. Same will happen to Oduduwa Republic when Niger, Chad and Northern states invade her in the nearest future.

sulaak:
That is just an excuse that Rwanda has been using to invade DR Congo to exploit resources in DR Congo. Tutsi account for less than 10% of the population in Rwanda and Burundi. The Tutsi are like the Fulani's in West Africa. The difference is that the Tutsi don't use religion.

God1000:
I hope this will not lead to a direct military confrontation between Rwanda and the democratic republic of congo

This is also a confirmation that the armed forces of Rwanda alongside M23 rebels are fighting Congolese soldiers in the eastern DRC

But does it mean Rwandan army is stronger than that of DRC?

Paul Kagame is the problem here

maasoap:
His case couldn't be the only one they're handling

madridguy:
Tutsis migrated there and now they're claiming to be indigenous and they are openly supporting the M23 rebel against their country.

EmeeNaka:
Useless congolese soldiers .
A shame for a country of 150million people to be routed this much by Rwanda and M23 rebels.
If you can't defeat the rebel forces, then you negotiate.
The last time Emmanuel Macron visited Kinshasa, Felix Tsesekedi was talking like a strong man that got balls, challenging Macron like he's got everything under control.
Now Rwanda of 14million population is eyeing to capture Congo of 150million population.

There are also Christians in Japan

And why is the opinion of an Asian about your mental sanity so important to you?...it seems you suffer from some sort of inferiority complex too

franchasofficia:
Russia, a great Christian nation one Putin being misled by Moslem praisesingers is working tirelessly to destroy.



Christianity rules the world, from USA to Russia to Germany to Britain to France, Israel, etc, are all Christian nations, imagine if any of these great superpower nations were Moslem nations, the world would have seen hell

Jesus Christ is King, go and tell it to the whole world and He will reign forever

God bless you my friend.
You are of a sound mind.
You reason like an erudite.
I don't know you but I admire your level of balance judgement.
What you said was exactly my thoughts and submission.
Those who went to beg for the case to be aborted, do not know the future damage's they have done to the judiciary.
I have a copy of that book and I believe many people now and in the future will have access to that book.
This is a summary end of the hope of our judiciary.
It will take ages for the judiciary to redeem it's name again.

How did they manage to convince Babalola to withdraw the suit when the so called "offensive" materials are still in publication/circulation?
