The consignments, which were awaiting shipment to poor nations through the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), were instead incinerated following the shutdown of the agency by the Trump administration

Despite offers from organisations including the United Nations, the Gates Foundation and the Children’s Investment Fund Foundation to take possession of the contraceptives, U.S. officials insisted that no eligible buyers were available.


“President Trump is committed to protecting the lives of unborn children all around the world,” said Russell Vought, head of the White House Office of Management and Budget, now overseeing USAID’s winding down.

“The administration will no longer supply abortifacient birth control under the guise of foreign aid.”

The Times, however, reported that the inventory reviewed contained no abortifacients, only birth control designed to prevent ovulation and fertilisation.

Belgian authorities attempted to stop the destruction, with Foreign Minister Maxime Prévot writing to the U.S. Secretary of State, but the intervention only delayed the incineration.

CoronaVirusPro:
You stated that it’s the choice of a Black Nigerian man like you never know what happens to predecessors that tried to stand their ground.

I am not here to debate you. I just want you to be sincere with yourself. It’s not a Nigerian thing but Africa.

See, Nothing moves or shakes in Africa without the consent of the West. It’s just of recent some countries have started revolting, and I am sure you know how many attempted coups have happened in those countries.

It’s very easy to castigate the Blackman about his cowardice to take full control, but I believe it’s deeper than that. History we learnt from. Even at our age, we saw some of it live on TV.

Our challenges are unique. I am it a voice for the continents weak leaders. I can’t judge from a distance cos I still cannot figure out how a whole continent is in the hands of westerners, but like I said earlier, I learnt a lot from history. All those who dared it died.

CoronaVirusPro:
In as much as your response is not related to the topic, I still will always want you to know that imperialism really had took a toll on the Black race.

Ask your self one sincere question, Is Africa still free as at these second? If you sincere with your answer, you will understand how long we have labored in vain and still not free.

You start imagining if we had the liberty the likes of. Gina and India are enjoying which nullifies the notion that other countries were colonized and moved on to become great.

Out independence was a ceremonial one, they never left and still extorting and exploiting us till date.

SmartPolician:
I still don't understand why we have former athletes and footballers, yet we allow crook politicians run our sports federation.

Can anything good come out of this country?

In a video posted on Snapchat, Amusan, who is one of Nigeria’s biggest medal hopes, expressed her disappointment at the embarrassing treatment Nigerian athletes continue to face.

World record holder and reigning 100m hurdles champion, Tobi Amusan, has publicly ridiculed the Athletics Federation of Nigeria (AFN) for providing substandard and inadequate kits to athletes ahead of the World Athletics Championship scheduled to hold in Tokyo, Japan.

In a video posted on Snapchat, Amusan, who is one of Nigeria’s biggest medal hopes, expressed her disappointment at the embarrassing treatment Nigerian athletes continue to face.

Speaking in English and pidgin, she said: “As it is now, I have to wear an adidas black tight. I go show you wetin Jamaica. When I tell you say Jamaica is in the same WhatsApp group with Nigeria, but dem no worse like Nigeria. Nigeria, all the other countries give their athletes two kits. See wetin Nigeria pack give us. This country (Nigeria) is really embarrassing."

This is not the first time an athlete has spoken out about neglect by the Nigerian system.

Super Falcons defender, Ashleigh Plumptre, had also expressed concerns over the lack of basic facilities and support structures provided for the Nigerian women’s national team during the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations tournament held in Morocco.

Speaking during an interview with Lagos Talks 91.3 FM posted via X, Plumptre lamented the absence of essential recovery amenities, such as a gym and pool, at the team’s accommodation throughout their stay in Casablanca, where the team played all their group stage matches, as well as the quarterfinal and semi-final fixtures.

“I think with some teams like England — obviously they’ve just won the Euros — the amount of investment and meticulous planning and structure and everything behind them is evident. It’s just like little things like the resources, what fields they’re training on, what their recovery is like,” she said. [/b]

Plumptre said the lack of facilities left the players physically drained towards the end of the tournament.

“For me and for some of the other girls, we were tired towards the end because we were put in a hotel in Morocco that didn’t have a gym. Towards the end of the tournament, we were taken to a public gym to be able to use,” she revealed.

When asked whether the Nigerian Football Federation or the Moroccan authorities were responsible for the hotel arrangements, Plumptre said the players were uncertain.

“We actually don’t know… It’s CAF, organised by CAF, but I don’t know if it’s the Moroccan FA. Honestly, I’m not quite sure,” she said
