Where are the Trump supporters.

I truly wished they all had HIV so they could see the true meaning of FAFO.
I'll still support Trump a thousand and one times; absolutely nothing wrong with his decision.

Question, why is it Trump's responsibility to sponsor our HIV treatment? Whatever happened to China, Russia, and others? Why must it be the USA?

Your post is the exact colour of entitlement mentality.

Like I said no sane country will love China nor America. You are just not seeing beyond nose
I doubt any country wants to be loved either. Love is ephemeral and wouldn't necessarily mean securing their own country's national interest.

But in the world power slash bipolar world order dynamics, those are the requirements China or Russia or whatever else would need to tick to topple US from its 'monopoly' world power seat.

You’re joining BRICS to rival and weaken USA abi? Oya go and collect your healthcare funding from China and Russia without them first taking your sovereignty as collateral.

Go to city centers in many parts of the country, there are free maternity and healthcare services for women and children in many instances, how much of that is funded by FG?

Common sense should be common.
EXACTLY!!!!

Elementary politics teaches that you align with the moves of your helper, it's idiocy to directly antagonize your helper....not before you are extremely sure you can stand alone.

You don't because people with HIV that I have met at least , have jobs and are industrious.

Never met one jobless and broke. Just saying
I know of a girl here in my side.
The kind of suffering she is going through because of thay virus is making her losing her senses. She was chased out from the house by her own mother. And she had to rent a room for herself and her little son while she is jobless.
If they stop giving that thing free there is no way she can afford it
Re: Trump Halts HIV Funding For Nigeria by Seunmuham:
TONYE001:
How about we look at this from another angle - the American angle, that is.

See, on the scenes of international politics, no country does anything entirely for charity. Trump, here, has been implying (long before now) that the US of A has been doing a whole lot for other nations and is having little to nothing in return. He has cited numerously that instead, some of these countries antagonize its international policies. It is not unexpected for Trump to halt funding to societies that won't support America's course.

Recall his Make-America-Great-Again slogan; he is all about prioritizing America and Americans over other countries...and this is exactly a fantastic attribute of any president.

Now, let's look at this from the Nigerian perspective. Question is, over the decades since the first diagnosis of HIV was made in Nigeria, if our government were responsible, shouldn't we be able to stand independent in providing care for our PLHIVs today? We, like other African societies, are neck-deep in being "welfare-dependent." Our leaders have repeatedly failed to be responsible for the citizens they claim to lead. They have failed to prioritizing healthcare. Since 2000, the budget allocation for healthcare has remained less than 5%. See healthcare allocation in serious societies in 2024: USA, 17.6%; UK, 11.3%, in Australia, 27%. Why is the Nigerian story different?

Let's not look at this from the viewpoint of a victim. To ensure neutrality of judgement, if you analyzed this situation as a third person, you would find that Mr. Trump has done no wrong, and this is exactly what any meaningful president should do - prioritize his/her citizens and country. Rather, Nigeria should send delegates to Washington to expressly convey our deep gratitude for the good the American government has done to us over the years.

Now, am I excited that the USA has paused (and possibly terminated) PEPFAR because I did not support Tinubu? Absolutely not! This would be outright childish, evilish, and wicked of me! But, it is what it is, Trump is in the right here. Let's all gather in prayer and hope for two or three things: that the POTUS would permit PEPFAR to continue, that our leaders would acquire more sense and humanity, and that God would continue to preserve our collective health as a nation.

Shebi una talk say HIV na like malaria. Even when they advise una to use condom. Knowing your country takes free HIV drugs from a foreign country so you can live. You continue living recklessly, carrying all sorts of women on another country’s money. The funds have stopped.
Re: Trump Halts HIV Funding For Nigeria by TONYE001(m):
JuanDeDios:
PEPFAR, put in place by President George W. Bush, has saved over 25 million lives in Africa. 2.5. M.I.L.L.I.O.N - 25,000,000. Of our people. I personally know a few people who have benefited from it. This is a sad day.

And it's sad there are people here who think everything is cruise and are expressing support for Trump on this matter. Shame.
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 takes 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.

Very good.
I hope you know that you probably have HIV but you don't know it yet and possibly your family members have it but they are not telling you. I won't be surprised if you are Igbo, you people are the ones who always rejoice about negative news in Nigeria just because your tribe man is not in power and I bet you people will never be. Pathetic set of people!

I don't want to argue china or world power with you. When you think of China, think of a smiling constrictor. When you think of America think of honeybees.

Re: Trump Halts HIV Funding For Nigeria by chopnaira: 2:31pm On Jan 28, 2025
The rate at which that virus would spread in Nigeria and other 3rd world countries the next 4 years or so would be extremely high since those drugs bring down viral count which stops transmission.

Once you remove the drugs, carriers can now easily infect others.

If you know fit hold body, use condoms ooo.

Trump will be knocking senses into people's heads.

I like your comment. Many will talk bad of UK & USA online but will still que for their visa. I wonder why they don't go to Russia & China whom they claim to love.

3 months far. They are already regretting it. The first to regret it are Hispanic population who voted for him. The next will be independence cos the price of manual labor is about to skyrocket. Go thru homedepoet or Lowes parking lot and you will see no Latino out there looking for quick work. Those laborer offer cheap labor with no benefits and do jobs most Americans will not do. I have a truck repair business and the most hardest thing in staying in business is finding reliable help. Jokers does not want to work. Hire a Mexican or other South Americans, they will work their tail off compare to ordinary American who want all the benefits and has problem showing to work on time.
Foreigners who commit crimial.offence should be deported and the border needs to be secure but deporting everyone will create a labor shortage cos thkse people take up jobs Americans don't want.

Anyone in HIV programs in Nigeria’s medical sector is automatically a big man

Compare them with those in the malaria programs which is even more prevalent and you'll realise it's just grand fraud. No one will get a chance for the two and opt for malaria instead of HIV
I have worked in this HIV program. You are right. Fraud mehn. The patients get little support or care. The rest na pocket oh

No Country grows with negativist citizens.

Your other point is null. Do you know how costly HIV drugs and medications are? Do you know there are over 2million Nigerians getting aided by this funding?

So, you'd rather they all struggle and perish just because the institution is supposedly corrupt?

See thinking
if those guys making money from it no longer able to get it.. believe me they’ll source it from somewhere else and that’s when it begins to affect Nigerians…

Gladly, I am a very handy. The only time I pay people is when I have to do heavy lifting or messy work like the installation of drywall and mudding which I completed last week.
But if I was contract out the drywall today, it would cost alot due to labour shortage.

Keep your funding, it has never benefitted anyone but the people who have even looting it. All these trump's policy adjustments are no skin off those of the average Nigerian
The man is not even a month in office yet see action and reaction left and right, even at his age. Yet our own presidential seat seems to be where so called 'shrewd and astute ' politicians go to sleep. Nigeria, dooh! You have really suffered.
