So do you think the benefit of withdrawing funds outweighs the risk of what they stand to lose in the global space?
What other risk they stand to lose?
The Brics league of nations are up
Jihadists are spreading like wildfire
Corrupt so called poor nations are getting worse
International humanitarian organizations are weak

Better to save yourself with what you have than crumble inside while forming odogwu outside. With the way things are going, countries will either be up or down.

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
In this part of the world, we're too use to money and gift.

People don't respect you because you're rich, they respect you because of the value you give

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.
A fool with several billions of naira dollars. May be it's time to redefine the meaning of a fool.

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.
China is filling the void without wasting anytime. By the time Trump and his MAGA minions realize the damage they have done, it will be too late for America to recover from the fall.

China has been funneling aid to Africa a lot, especially since the year 2000(who do you think gave us the rail link between Abuja and Kaduna, for example...and the new AU HQ In Addis.?)...and even before then (google Tanzam railway).
Tanx for the knowledge.🙏

But do u actually tink China can afford to fill the void being left by the US? It's Billions of dollars we talking about here. And remember China is business orientated; they don't do tinz without something in return no matter how minute.

It will be difficult for any country to dole out the amount of dollars US has bn doling out in the form of foreign aid. The US spend $50 billion to $70 billion annually on foreign aid.

Aside from the US government, we have individual Philanthropic Billionaires who give foreign aid to poor countries from the same US like Bill Gates and Melinda, Warren Buffet, Michael Bloomberg, Soros, Mark Zuckerberg etc. How many Chinese Billionaires can afford to do such?

The US is about to leave a big shoe that will be difficult to be filled. But I knw the next Potus will undo most of Trump's policies especially, as regards to foreign affairs. Trump might even end up changing his mind on some of his policies.

I didn't call him a poor man, I called him a fool. I know money is everything to some of you, cos a rich man can never be wrong in your eyes.

Sapa no go make most of you understand until you live in a working society where they don't worship money.

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.
It’s a CIA covert operation to undermine sovereign nations. 90% of USAID funds are channeled to further US agenda.

Stop living in conspiracy land.
There is nothing covert about USAID.

Its operation has always been about US foreign influence or
why did you think billions would be awarded every year?

Russia is currently signing nuclear power deals across Africa, the aim
is the same. Build as much influence as possible.

What do you mean by impact of NGO is huge on the economy? Can you explain that?

Most of these NGOs especially supposedly leader go around sleeping with different ladies, promising them jobs. They don't mind employing ladies that are not qualified and compent to lead those that are competent, so long they will be getting regular sex dosage. The immorality I witnessed there is out of this world.

I mean the town is flush with NGO/AID money,
The sector is one of the biggest employer of white collar jobs aside Govt.
They also form one of the biggest patrons for hotels, conferences and other hospitality providers.

I am curious to see how the suspension of AID money will affect the economy of Maiduguri as a whole
