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
I agree. If it affects him badly, then he should stop with the donations. The question now is this... Is America getting affected badly from its donations to impoverished nations?

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!
Trump is not responsible for creating jobs in countries that have already been blessed with natural and human resources. The countries leaders' should stop pretending to be leaders and actually do their jobs for once instead of waiting for handouts like beggars.

USAID was established to boost US's global influence but Trump is too dumb to know.
He thinks it is free money to other countries.
at the expense of US citizens?

There's nothing bad with aids to Africa but I agree it's currently a very corrupt system.
The international financial system is rigged in favour of the US. While other countries have to earn every dollar they use to trade internationally, the US, on the other hand, could just print money out of thin air. Thereby, exporting their inflation to the rest of the world.

How much aid does Saudi Arabia give to poor Muslims from their oil wealth and religious tourism?

USAID, A CIA front engaging in intelligence work and meddling in the domestic politics of aid recipients. Shut that shit down. Organization run by lunatics and money launderers

Very good...shut the shhht down..... let those stupes who elect evil people carry their crosses....if they like,let them all kaput.....
They are blessed with God given natural resources but keep electing tribalistic and religious failures to lead them. Who will ever believe that mumuMugurians made someone,made a certified failure like Buhari president for good 8 years!!!!!!

The folks they planned on gaining influence over are now aligning with Russia and China through BRICS to reduce the US dominance, so what gives?

When u are inherently unproductive as a country and economy I don't see how u can argue this in ur favour or make sense. Who told u Nigeria doesn't print money anyhow to cover their lack of unproductivity?

The Euro and pounds are more expensive than the dollar. The US is more valuable because they create more value globally.

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
You left out some important parts.

If the rich man was donating and giving them, and the people started getting very “belleful” and even started challenging the rich man to a fight, started joining alliances with people to challenge the rich man and so on. Even worse, the same rivals the community people are joining to fight the rich man don’t give shishi without collecting part of your sovereignty.

If the rich man withdraws support, the people will go hungry and realize how foolish they have been, and yes they will respect the rich man because they have no choice and you can’t even still do much globally without them, and any new aid they get from him, they will greatly appreciate it.

Where in the world do people keep feeding those who are using their aid to challenge them?

Elon is one of the biggest fools in the American society. He likes attention so much and likes to make everything about himself.

I suspect the recent land issue Trump is having against South Africa was triggered by Elon Musk due to his South African roots. They basically want white people to keep controlling the country...

Anyways, I am not sorry for South African blacks, they know how to attack their fellow Africans, some don't even see themselves as Africans, so let them face the US or bow to white supremacy in their own country.
Keep crying 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

America has millions of homeless people and drug addicts constituting nuisance in the streets and you prefer there government to spend billions abroad to boost global influence rather than tackling the problems they face at home? Charity begins at home na

A discretionary spending of 1.7trillion dollars and your biggest headache is 40billion out of it because it's given to Africa.

The only I say is that the spending much be strictly scrutinized.
Re: Elon Musk Says He And Trump Are Shutting Down USAID by zumbigbo(m): 2:50pm On Feb 03, 2025

Actually ,I like China more than USA and I believe a lot of wise Nigerians share the same sentiment because China is more peaceful and share technology with other countries unlike US that cause chaos everywhere and wants to gatekeep technology.

The only debacle to Nigeria relationship with China is distance and language barrier.
You will wake up one day and find out that your government sold you to China.. since they are selling off Nigeria gradually

Don't derail the topic ,Nigeria is owing USA and other western nations as well .

USA debt is over 30 trillion dollars and China debt is over 15 trillion dollars yet no one is claiming ownership of their citizens or the country becoming insolvent .

USAID blocks economic development. USAID provide free HIV drugs at the expense of Nigeria's developing drug-manufacturing industry.

Nigeria has 270 pharmaceutical manufacturing companies that employ over 500k skill Nigerians. The private sector should seize this opportunity and invest in manufacturing now.

Your thoughts are not inline with logic. Musk now functions as an appointee of the Trump administration; shouldn't that come with an office?

Nigerians are spending billions travelling for hajj, which benefits the economy of S Arabia. In Islam, you are only expected to do the Hajj if you can afford it.

USAID is the reason why HIV/Aids patients are not dying like flies in Nigeria.
It is the reason why Malaria, tuberculosis is not ravaging Nigeria.,

According to the experts the drugs cost N3M in a month.

If you don't care about the quality of governance in Nigeria, now is the time to care.
There are no safety nets.

Anytime you see tinubu with a 100 car convoy, calculate the amount of money that should have been used to procure HIV drugs or Malaria nets for Nigerian citizens.
