Acekidc4: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. |

Acekidc4: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: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. |

Acekidc4: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. |

Acekidc4: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 |

Why can’t we shut down Tinubu’s coastal road and use the money to treat the sick? Why must America rescue our sick? |

wink2015:. 1.Define sexually reckless and 2) People lie. 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.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.Good, but it does not work that way all the time. People lie. |

MakindeHassan: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. |

When Nigeria was flaunting the idea of BRICS, did they really think it will not have repercussion from the USA? Make them dey play... More subtle sanctions and repercussion will still come |

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.. |
