Can't we fund it ourselves🤔 Must we wait for Crumbs from Trump🤨

Depending on a big baby like Trump is Stupidity of the highest order.
If you want to fund it ourselves, we would have to increase the health budget.

HIV drugs are expensive. Very much so. Back in the good old days, an accquaintance of my dad's was spending half his salary on HIV drugs for himself and his son. That was before the days of PEPFAR.

And they used to be more expensive. In the early 2000's there was a big fight to reduce the price of the drugs. Court cases, people like Bill Gates advocating, etc....

Even now, new HIV drugs are still expensive. There is a new drug that is very very revolutionary. It works and can be given once every three months. South Africa was negotiating with the drug company to buy the drug. The drug company massively cut the price of the drug...to the point that they would lose money selling it...and yet it was far too expensive for South Africa. Right now, they are at a deadlock in negotiations. Neither side is budging.

If you want your government to fund the drugs...then maybe you should vote a government that would do like the UK does...take half your salary to fund things like a NIgerian National health service, where heathcare would be free totally at the point of entry.

Totally agree. Depending on other nation for handout for infectious disease process management is high-key a silly way of life. Hopefully, this funding hold extends beyond 90 days. Going cap in hand begging all the time for things we should be able to do for self is ridiculous. High time the Executive arm re-evaluate subvention that should be allocated to combat infectious diseases . It's either we survive or perish, generational begging can't continue.

yesloaded:
There is an urgent need for comprehensive awareness initiatives for the people of Nigeria. HIV is highly preventable, and by implementing effective measures, we can significantly reduce the number of new infections and potentially halt further transmission.
Those who are sexually reckless are the people who should worry about HIV AND AIDS.

But the federal government should use its earning from crude oil to fund the project and prevent HIV and AIDS spreading to women and children including the men.

Married Couples should be careful with their lifestyle.

Abstinance from se.x outside a faithful marriage is better and Preventive option.

Trump second term is for destruction of his past good records. He's likened to the biblical Hezekiah whom God extended his life by 15 years. In those 15 years, he destroyed everything he made and brought Assyrian calamity on his family and nation, which led to the exile of Judah.

Well well well.. if it isn’t the result of our careless government and policies that we still have to be begging for aids like this from the US government!

Everybody better guide with their CD and lubricants now. It’s one thing to use CD and it’s another thing for the CD to break due to poor lubrication.. that’s where lubricants come in handy.


A word is enough for the wise.
You are right, lubricant helps to prevent CD breakage. Baba, weldone!

It cost US roughly $6b/year to fund and Nigeria got a sizable chunk of that. Do you think this government that is borrowing $1bn has the will and empathy to spend even $500m on one medicine for citizens? Let’s watch though.

A foreign country is funding our healthcare while tinubu and the governors are enjoying luxuries that trump would be envious of.

The cost of funding tinubu's luxuries alone is enough to fund healthcare.

crumbs right.

People don't really appreciate the enormous amount of assistance US provides globally.

US is not just a world superpower, but a big brother to nations.

People have taken it for granted, now Trump wants them to understand the cost

1.Define sexually reckless and 2) People lie.

May work...but it would cost a lot...and we still have a lot of other healthcare battles we are fighting...like communicable diseases, and a rising burden of things like hypertension, diabetes and cancer.

Married Couples should be careful with their lifestyle.

Abstinance from se.x outside a faithful marriage is better and Preventive option.
Good, but it does not work that way all the time. People lie.

big pharma in the US are pretty much inflating the heck out of this drugs. it's scammy tendency all through the pipeline from donor to recipient. IF Nigeria is serious, India Pharmaceutical companies should be brought to this issue, the differential is crazy, light/day compared to the US. The moles in our government would be the first to talk trash about the product from india sadly.

Are you aware that tinubu fly a govt funded private Jets?
Are you aware that his convoy is longer than that of president Trump?

If his country is so poor that he can't fund healthcare, why is tinubu and your senators enjoying those privileges, instead of behaving like the president and senators of a poor country?

Instead of voting for credible people like obi with a history of prudence and strict management of resources, you say na tinubu you want.
You people are yet to know that all these polithiefcians are the same, list 5 achievements of Obi in 8yrs of being Anambra state governor…[b][/b]

I see nothing wrong with Trump protecting the interest of American tax payers... We should be more concerned about what our Government has been doing to our country ... We should be more concerned about having an electoral and Judicial system that is largely unbiased .

Aren’t we as nation tired of begging in the midst of plenty ?

How long are we going to continue begging for support while the politicians are busy stealing and looting our common wealth? If our thieving politicians cannot step in and fill the vacuum by providing the needed drugs so be it..

Shameless thieves masquerading as leaders..
