Congratulations.
You just answered your own questions.

Aslong as African countries lack good leadership, begging for aids from organizations such as the WHO would not end. Nigerian Senators, HORs, governors etc would rather enrich themselves than help less privileged Nigerians. Same as alot of other African countries with corrupt leadership.



A good example below:

Major donor contributors for free HIV and malaria drugs in Nigeria and some other African countries for example includes the WHO, The US Gov through (PEPFAR), World Bank, Unicef etc

However, the budget from Donald Trump's White House last year for 2020 includes a whopping $1.35 billion in cuts to the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) and $392 million in cuts to the funds to fight tuberculosis and malaria. This Corona outbreak also gave the US president another opportunity or justification to remove US own contribution to the WHO. Note there are many countries that contribute to the WHOs purse not just the US
The WHO Ethiopian president, executives and workers could care less, they would still get paid their fat salary. Let's even say WHO gets disbanded (which is not possible), their staff would simply get absorbed into the UN. Na citizens of poor countries go hear am.

For this, coupled with many other holes plugging by the US gov just tells us that the US can't be bothered to offer good assistance to any disadvantaged or poor countries in the world again. It's now America first which is good for them - Nationalism.

To be honest, I can't even be bothered if Trump gets re-elected in November. It actually favours me as I work in the Energy industry in Canada. Trump loves the energy industry, and he has speedily approved our pipeline that carries oil from Alberta all the way to Texas. It's a win for my Canadian economy. However, not much benefit is Trump's win for poor and shyte hole countries..Goodluck to Nigeria and Africa.

TripleOh7:
Actually, Trump's right.

The looting and violence dishonours the memory of the deceased.

And the looters are making things worse for the black man.

They call you a monkey, a thief and a brigand and you go right ahead and prove them right.

So so wrong.

For those inclined to quote me without comprehension, I am against shooting of any protesters or looters. And the killer cops should face justice.

The part of Trump's speech that I supported has been quoted by me here.

So read to understand.

tell us more of chinelo and her stay at pencom.

festacman:
US believes in the rule law I am for the rule of law in AfDB. It's laws empowered Ethics Committee to investigate unethical practices. That Committee sat for 3 months and cleared Adesina. Independent investigation may be fashionable but its not in accordance with AfBD corporate governance. For example, Trump was impeached by House of Rep but the Senate cleared him. He stays cleared because that's the law.

Take your time to read the 16 allegations against him. None was on mismanagement of funds. It was about employment, receiving awards with monetary value and lobbying ECOWAS.

festacman:
This is a fierce battle for the SOUL of AfDB. I hope Africa wins.

Finally the issues of visionless leadership, corruption and poor management of countries' economies have come to haunt Africa. We don't even fully own our bank!

Believe me, if Akinwumi Adesina will survive this storm, two things will help:

1. His personal relationship and rapport with leaders of Germany, France, Japan and Canada well as most African countries. Even after serving under Jonathan, he maintained good relationship with Pres Buhari. He has this intellectual charm. Part of his offence is that he has virtually secured 2nd term unopposed without recourse to almighty United States.

2. The hatred which EU has for the proud narcissistic Donald Trump, the President of United States may help Adesina's case. Nigeria should exploit this to protect our candidate and image as a country.

All these letters will put diplomatic pressure on AfDB Board of Directors but if US garners the support of key non-African shareholders, Akinwumi Adesina will go because Francophone countries will always toe the line drawn by France thereby deflating Africa's resistance. In addition, I don't trust South Africa to protect Nigeria's interest.

Maxymilliano:
Exonerated earlier by the the ethics committee of the board of directors of the bank, which Adesina is the President. .

The United States did not level any allegations against him, The US government is only asking for independent probe of allegations leveled against him by whistle-blower.

Goodmarlian:
African-Americans should return to Africa their homeland since they are not wanted in America , Africa can absorb them all yes ,after all they will bring development to Africa because more advance in science and technology and civilization unlike the Homebase Africans.

My opinion though.

Bobby4090:
Attention seeking woman, you have no reason to attack your superior publicly. Before you know it She started playing the Woman card of gender victimization.
For God sake what is Buhari doing. This woman should be dismissed at once. In a private organization by now she would have been sacked. She took it too personal maybe because of her ego and I have lost all the respect I had for her.

Yea the chances are low, but people do survive. Kachi survived the sosoliso crash. Its a way for me to hold on to any hope of good news.

WORDWORLD:
Invention comes by necessity. Perhaps if Africans too choose to be a brutal race hoping to conquer the world by force, taking away other people's lands and properties perhaps we would have really developed along such a plain of CONQUERORS enslaving other races.

ReluctantAdult:
This is exactly my reasoning.
The brain doesn't expire. If we were capable of being so powerful and building amazing structures and societies back then, shouldn't we be able to do even better today?

Except the white man stole our brains as well, then the whole black civilization stories are bullshit.

Natural disasters decimate Western cities but just give it a little time and everything's back to normal and even better. Why can't we say the same for us?

My brother there's nothing to argue as far as this topic is concerned, this is a topic that has piqued my interest since over 30 years ago after reading "How Europe underdeveloped Africa," initially bought his ideas as a youth then but with time and more knowledge and experience and exposure and more exposure I saw that that book was just a small story inside a larger drama. It wasn't Europe that underdeveloped Africa, Europeans built big ships to cross the oceans to get here, that means they already had their own development. While our own ancestors were rowing canoes that couldn't cross small rivers. We still have the same mindset today. Didn't you hear a senator of the federal republic recently boasting of "producing 27 children?" This is a speech in year 2020 of a university educated congressman! Are you still wondering why Africa is backward? But this is not to say we don't have some bright minds we do but they are too few and most do not have the emotional intelligence to be strategic and to work with other black minds. White people don't need to prove anything to anybody, their attitude is to break frontiers and they are busy at it. I recently finished Elon Musk's book and you will be amazed how he has already taken it for granted that humans must colonize space starting with Mars, it's mind blowing! Meanwhile we are here in Africa and we are satisfied with living on this planet without a care about the moon for another 2 million years, my care mostly is how to be a big boy here in poor shithole naija but my age mate is already building the technology that will colonize Mars! But trust us 100 years down the line my children will write thesis on how Elon Musk stole Hus ideas all of them from my farm in suleja, hahahaha. We are toast we blacks

Natural disasters decimate Western cities but just give it a little time and everything's back to normal and even better. Why can't we say the same for us?

Inventions that are countable OK emm Philip emagweli hu created in d US. Lemme tell u all d inventions made by black people were actually possible cos they were in d white environment & use the whites inventions!

benjsniper33:
Do some deep research and don't litter this thread with your shallow emotions.

Off you go man!

SirMichael1:
Civilization started in Africa, right here in Egypt. Even the whites can't explain how we Egyptians built the pyramids and i understand their confusion. They came here, took our initiatives and left with it. While walking in a sacred path in one of the pyramid, my father told me of how the whites tried to destroy it but couldn't, instead, they were met their demise. So yeah.

Built2last:
oh Jesus.

This man lived for the kingdom. He was regarded as paul the apostle of this generation. go to rzim.org and listen to his messages

he hand answers for every atheist. revered by professors in Cambridge, Oxford and Harvard.

A body of knowledge has gone

Rest in peace sir.

Inteltower:
am Igbo & I agree with her.
why do we always want to brag or cry marginalized.
we are just behaving like Black Americans who up till today haven't freed themselves from the past while other foreign black people are doing well mingling with the whites.

I only disagree when she belittled our count

but in all she is right, enough of the self praise & wailing. let our actions speak louder for us & let other do the praising

ReluctantAdult:
I don't want kids. I don't like kids. I hate the responsibilities that come with raising kids. I hate the uncertainty of what might happen to them or what they might become.

So, why not? We'd be perfect for each other. Just the two of us. Enjoying life and travelling the world without a care. Life is too short to have kids burdens.

Yampotatocarrot:
Oh, come on, Sir. I'm not saying she is a fraud, but you saying she "never saw our face" is so wrong.

You mean nobody represented your company, or you sent your quotation to her office online? As long as someone from your office met her office before the contract was awarded, then she "saw your face".

Note that I'm not implying she has done anything wrong, I'm just correcting that statement. No offence intended.

I understand that you have been brain washed to believe that you are a subpar, semi human being but repeat after me **I Am Somebody, Nobody Is Superior To Me ...I Am Somebody, Nobody Is Superior To Me.** Repeat this EVERYDAY, 3 times a day for the REST of your LIFE.

You will become unbraimlnwashed and realized that you are worthy of life. **I'm hoping for the best.**

Your jealousy is showing. Nobody showed any entitlement here so I'm thinking in your subconscious mind you truly believe I am entitled. SMH at your inferiority.
