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.

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

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.

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

maasoap:
You don't have sense and you are ignorant if you are typing and posting this as if your claim is genuine. Have you seen any HIV patient that couldn't get or have access to free medication in any part of Nigeria? Be sensible now for God's sake!

Na HIV funding

Me think say na the air wey we dey breathe Trump wan halt


See how happy those guys above me are. I hope this seccession of a thing come to pass one day

What kinda human develops deep hate for his own country just because his tribesman isnt the President of that country. According to psychologists, it doesnt make you appear more enlightened, in fact, it shows the opposite

givedemwotowoto:
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.

EmperorCaesar:
Yes, it will definitely help me.

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

This comment should be pinned!
I worked in PEPFAR Nigeria Circa 2008/9 and I remember the fraud being perpetrated by the pharmacists like Adeyanka, Adedeji and co of LUTH. This was in millions as far back as then.
Many documented HIV patients not on record but these pharmacists were taking the drugs off the stores and selling to rich people that were ashamed to come and queue to get the medications like others.
ONLY GOD CAN SAVE NIGERIA O

JuanDeDios:
I agree it's hypocritical to be cussing out America while seeking their help (instead of seeking it from Russia), but I beg to differ with your entire post.

1. Rich nations have always helped poorer nations, so Mr Trump has done something wrong. Note that there is a national interest component to foreign aid because it's how you maintain soft power, something Trump clearly doesn't get. Withdrawing help from poor and vulnerable people (which will worsen your refugee and immigration problems anyway) is unconscionable. Yes, it's the responsibility of our government to care for our sick, but we both they aren't going to do it. Even if they want to, the money is just not there. So this hurts the sick and vulnerable, not government people.

2. It's true that anti-Americanism is common in these parts but so is pro-Americanism. There is no evidence that any Nigerian government since 1999 has been overtly anti-American. They've all done their best to maintain a healthy relationship with the US. I thought the BRICS thing was a mistake, but that's a minor issue. Tinubu has been careful not to personally attend their functions (he sends his vice) or apply for full membership. BRICS isn't the reason for this action anyway. It's what Trump wanted and was bound to happen.

membranus:
No one siphoned any funds, for HIV, they only sends free drugs. Or are you trying to insinuate that they are also siphoning HIV drugs. But thank God, we still have the Bill Gates initiative to help those in need of the life-saving drugs.

And you should stop hating on your country. It is sickening. A man is hurting innocent and needful people in your poor country, and you are still hailing him. Is that not a corrosive mindset?

Nazgul:
This means that Antiretroviral drugs that's almost free of charge would experience a significant increase in price. And considering how the economy is, most people might not be able able to afford it for a long period of time.

Imagine spending between 50k-100k every month on Antiretroviral drugs for the rest of your life.

This is not the time to be randy. Stick to your spouse or abstain from sex if you're single.

Who told you they would get nothing? Its just a brief suspension and it will be back and better in 60 days or so

free2ryhme:
I get the point about supporting Trump’s decision to halt HIV funding for Nigeria. The fraud in the sector is frustrating, with many corrupt individuals benefiting while the funds don’t reach the people who truly need them. It’s unfair to American taxpayers who genuinely intended to help. That said, cutting the funding completely might hurt millions of innocent Nigerians relying on the program for life-saving treatment. A better approach would be stricter oversight and accountability to ensure the funds go where they’re needed, rather than punishing everyone for the actions of a few.

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.

Nigerians in Nigeria wont regret it

Even if their family members are been affected, so far one of the few negative policies is affecting Nigeria as a country, they are pleased
