You asked AI to predict the tribunal judgment when APC has not presented their own evidence and made their own case.

Seems we didn't learn from the Obi vs Tinubu case

Anybody who decamps from PDP just has to show the video of the fighting that broke out at Wadata plaza dad ago to justify their action.

The PDP needs to stop falling into these little traps and get their acts in order else the APC will poach a lot of their members and they want he able to fight it

Nigeria's fight against HIV/AIDS has been significantly aided by international donors, particularly PEPFAR

The Federal Executive Council (FEC) has approved a N4.8 billion fund for the procurement of 150,000 HIV treatment packs, ensuring continuous care for those living with the virus.

This decision, announced after the FEC meeting on Monday, is part of the government’s efforts to strengthen domestic funding for HIV treatment.

It comes amid concerns over the potential impact of recent US policy shifts on the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), which has been a major source of HIV funding in Nigeria.

Speaking on the approval, the Coordinating Minister of Health and Social Welfare, Muhammad Pate, emphasised the importance of sustaining HIV treatment efforts, particularly as international aid dynamics shift.


Mr Pate noted that while global partners have played a crucial role in providing treatment support, the federal government is now taking deliberate steps to invest in life-saving interventions for People Living with HIV (PLHIV) in Nigeria.

“This is an important signal that the federal government is committed to ensuring that life-saving treatments remain accessible, despite the changing dynamics in external support,” Mr Pate said.

Funding concerns
Nigeria’s fight against HIV/AIDS has been significantly aided by international donors, particularly PEPFAR, which has provided billions of dollars in funding over the past two decades.

PEPFAR, which provides HIV treatment to over 20.6 million people worldwide, faced a temporary funding suspension due to President Donald Trump’s executive order on foreign aid.

The order halted many overseas assistance programmes, putting millions at risk.

However, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio recently granted an “emergency humanitarian waiver,” allowing PEPFAR to resume operations in 55 countries, including Nigeria.

In response to these uncertainties, Mr Pate reassured stakeholders that the Nigerian government is proactively developing a transition and sustainability plan to address potential funding shortfalls.

Reliance on foreign aid
Mr Pate disclosed that the FEC discussed the implications of US policy changes on health programmes, particularly those addressing HIV, tuberculosis, and malaria.

“In light of the US government’s ongoing 90-day review of its development assistance policies, we have set up a committee comprising the Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Health, Ministry of Defense, Ministry of Environment, and the Governors’ Forum to develop a transition and sustainability plan,” he said.

“This is to ensure that Nigerians receiving treatment do not face disruptions.”

The committee’s mandate is to assess the implications of the US policy shift and devise strategies to ensure the continuity of critical health programmes.

Mr Pate further acknowledged the significant contributions made by the US over the past two decades but stressed that Nigeria is preparing to reduce its reliance on foreign aid.

“While we greatly appreciate the contributions of the US government over the last 20 years and look forward to continued collaboration, Nigeria under President Bola Tinubu is focused on transforming the health sector through national systems and domestic financing,” he said.

He said the goal is to ensure that no patient currently receiving treatment is left without care.

The reason given is understandable, but I believe both him and his ex wife could've come to an agreeable amount.

True without going to threaten to shoot them

See Man's insensitivity to another man's plight/death


Dr. Ikenna married to the worst family in the world.

I just wonder how the friends couldnt rally round and help him get stable mentally at his darkest moment

Philosopher Seneca said "Death is the wish of some, the relief of many, and the end of all. It sets the slave at liberty, carries the banished man home, and places all mortals on the same level, insomuch that life itself were a punishment without it"

I think he deserves to be insensitive considering that the Dr. Ikenna held his ex-wife, nanny and his own children at gun point. He shot himself when police showed up
