USAID
AIDS
SA


HIV AIDS

We know. Africa does not need aid or AIDS. If he is doing South Africa, it's all for the better but as someone else said, hope China doesn't fill the gap. Corruption is why we are all here. You guys don't know that the Shia guys have foreign funds? Foreign funds usually interfere in local politics. I will like EVERYONE of the aid to shut down, govt should do their job.

Donald Trump is about to create massive unemployment. I pity people working for projects being financed by USAID. Someone should challenge this madness in court!
Tell BRICS to employ them.

Many of these organizations have outlived their usefulness and are now avenues for corrupt nonprofits to flourish. We have become so used to the help of the US that we’re no longer grateful, we’re now entitled to it.

Shut it down! After many years of development aid, If Nigerians are not ready to challenge their corrupt politicians and develop their country, so be it!
Hahahaa.... I received free Insecticide Treated Net (mosquito net) in 2012. It really help me because then I was living in mosquito infested local government.

If a rich man suddenly stops donating rice to the villagers, giving money to churches, funding projects for the indigents etc, do you actually think he will still be respected in that community?

Your guess is as good as mine
If you only 'respect' me because of material gains from me then that is not respect.

Tech billionaire Elon Musk said Monday that he and President Donald Trump were in the process of shutting down the U.S. Agency for International Development, escalating their war on the federal bureaucracy and defying the constitutional power of Congress to determine how money is spent.
Re: Elon Musk Says He And Trump Are Shutting Down USAID by rowrowland: 1:53pm On Feb 03, 2025
USA gradually losing it's soft power. If cutting off aids will also stop their undue influence and busybody, it's a welcome idea.

Again, I can see the method to the madness....aid money is basically a waste of time, and may even hinder development, rather than help it.

But aid is also a reason why the USA Is percieved as a global power. USAID has been in the forefront of making the US look good to the rest of the world. Shutting it down would leave the field open for other countries like China and company.
Lol.
Like who? China?
How much does China contribute to the WHO to begin with?

Welcome to reality. Unfortunately, there are different types of respect and this is just one of them. If my livelihood is partly dependent on your benevolence, you won't just be respected but revered.

imagine Dangote setting up an office in aso rock

trump is demystifying oyibos and showing us that oyibo leader of 'saner climes' can be just as corrupt, clueless and misinformed as leader of third world backwaters
People are beginning to see.
First, he tried to overturn the election result that said he lost and then he tried to instigate people to take over the parliament so they will not certify the opposition as president-elect. This is what you see in our part of the world that when leaders lose elections, they either try to cheat, or they refuse to leave.

Makes you an opportunist...means you will easily betray to get more if the opportunity arises.

I wouldn't want to have anything to do with such a person.

I am glad that you are beginning to understand how the world works. Same conclusion will most likely happen to America. Nations will naturally realign their interests with the one that promises to solve their problems.

A lot of countries receive a lot of aid and funding from US but are unappreciative.

Elon Musk, the true Vice President (or is it President) of the United States of America

If a rich man suddenly stops donating rice to the villagers, giving money to churches, funding projects for the indigents etc, do you actually think that he will still be respected in that community?

Your guess is as good as mine
If you're a rich man who's respect comes from donations alone, something is wrong.

If the effect of the rich man's donation is waste and affects him badly, he needs to stop. Better to put your house in order first than to be a painted sepulchre

Trump knows exactly what he is doing and targeting. The deep state targeted him for elimination. He is after them with the sledge hammar. USAID is one of those tools.
