Inteltower:
he came up with ideas. and scientist may know to do such. isn't there radiation therapy for cancer patients.

so dey reason

Dr.Trump's ideas are like divine inspirations to his cult members. Oya, go and buy your bleach, and don't forget to get the straw.

Dedetwo:
Most Nigerians are funny indeed. Did you expect me to chase a link you recommended? Decree 34 was unification of civil service in Nigeria and had nothing to do with regional government. It must be plain stupidity on the part of Ironsi to abolish regionalism with Decree 34 yet appoint regional governors. Unification decree, thus, 34 sought to formalize civil service in Nigeria where level 14 in Enugu is equally level 14 in Kano or Kaduna. However the Emirs and northerners assumed it was a hidden agenda to have educated easterners take over the country.

OK, why not recommend your own link, so I can see the decree 34 you are talking about.

Dedetwo:
This is one of the outstanding con job perpetrated by the loudmouths. Decree 34 has nothing to do with suspension of the constitution or abolishment of the region. It was about the unification of civil service which ironically is still used till today. Decree 34 simply eliminated local authority where the Emirs and their stooges reign supreme.

I must be discussing with a mindless bot. Read the link to decree 34 I posted and read aloud section 1 and 7.1 which is earlier quoted for those whose browsers cannot follow links.

Dedetwo:
You have written like a typical Yari.ba and one who has not seen a parade ground in his/her freaking life. There is tactical withdrawal or retreat in military strategy. Since Afonja, the general of Yari.ba land goofed, all places from Offa to Mina, Niger State belonged to Caliphate.

Nothing person no go hear for nairaland. So running away and leaving your soldiers at the mercy of the enemy is now a tactical military strategy?

Dedetwo:
Lt. Col. Emeka Ojukwu was the regional governor of the defunct eastern region of Nigeria. All statutory regulations in 1960 and 1963 Nigerian constitution as well as decrees granted Ojukwu the right to call bluff. Gowon was nothing yet he destroyed Nigerian federalism by dividing Nigeria into states. In your figment of imagination, have you asked what gave Gowon right to divide Nigeria into states when did not have control of all the regions in federation?

I an confused as to whether you guys are truly ignorant or deliberately misleading. You are taking about a 1960 and 1963 Nigerian constitution that had been suspended by decree 34 of 1966, otherwise known as the unification decree.
Here is section 1 and 7.1 and of the decree

1. Subject to the provisions of this Decree, Nigeria shall on 24th May 1966 (in this decree referred to as ‘the appointed day’) cease to be a Federation and shall accordingly as from that day be a Republic, by the name of the Republic of Nigeria, consisting of the whole of the territory which immediately before that day was comprised in the Federation.


7. 1. As from the appointed day, the provisions of the Constitution of the Republic mentioned in Schedule 2 of this Decree shall be suspended.

Gowon was the head of state and commander of the Armed forces. He was the legislature and executive. He makes laws by decrees and implement them as the executive. That's the way military or authoritarian governments work.

Supersymetry:
The sun use nuclear fusion not fission. Fusion far better than fission. So the problem is uranium based nuclear fission which is not sustainable.
Fusion technology is still in development, of which Africans should join in research, or even on a lower level join thorium based reactor research though it's not the best option.
Advanced battery technology will tackle the problem of storing solar energy for night use, like sodium ion battery, aluminium ion cell, flow cells etc.

Africa join ke? Maybe white Africans, because black African are not interested in learning, science or research. How many functional research institutes do we have in the whole of Africa? How many museums, observatories, libraries, e-learning centres?

We are more interested in owanbes, worshiping (either Jesus, Allah, ogun, ifa, Amadioha, etc). We will wait for the Europeans or the Asians to do the research and produced the fusion reactors. We will then award the contracts at 10 times the cost, and chop the rest.

Eastlink:
Read the bolded and kindly stop exposing your shallowness. Dude! Did you really study your Government in school?
For your information, there exist no legislative nonsense in the military. Military rule is characterized by edicts and decrees.
From Ironsi to Abdulsalami the military junta didn’t share powers with the Legislature. It is only in civilian rule that you have the separation of powers between the Executive, Judiciary and Legislature.

Gowon in question summoned his cabinet and appointees the likes of Awolowo etc at his own wihims and caprices. That was the same way Ojukwu summoned the provincial heads and Chiefs of the Eastern region. So Ojukwu didn’t need any Legislature to summon the leaders of the old east.[/b]


Military rule is a rule by the use of force, where military men hijacked power from the legitimate civilian rulers. They use sanctions to keep that power. Gowon’s leadership in question was illegitimate, same as that of Ironsi before him. Ojukwu himself, wasn’t appointed by Gowon and he Gowon had no power to remove him. It was left in the hands of the eastern house of assembly whom themselves have been illegally removed by Ironsi’s junta. However, the house of chiefs was from time to time consulted by Ojukwu in the scheme of things.
If Gowon had the powers to rule and legitimize his junta in the eyes of the civilian populace, Ojukwu too had the same power to do likewise.

I don't even have the strength to continue arguing senselessly.
Gowon planned a coup and succeeded, so he naturally became the head of state of the whole country. Ojukwu was appointed by the last coupist ( Ironsi who had been murdered). Eastern region was not a sovereign state, even though Ojukwu felt it was and he was head of state of eastern region.

I don't understand you arguing both ways. First you said "there exist no legislative nonsense in the military" which implies that Ojukwu could act without taking permission or authority from anybody, then you argue that Ojukwu Ojukwu summoned the provincial heads and Chiefs of the Eastern region to take a deciding on secession - meaning it decision to declare secession was not Ojukwu's. So which is it?

Gowon as head of state could appoint anyone into his cabinet, but the final decisions rests with him, and he took responsible for everything.

gidgiddy:
Really? So Lord Lugard had the mandate to create Nigeria because the British conquered the indigenous people of the land?

YES. That was the situation in all lands conquered by the British, French, Spanish and all other conquests since the dawn of history.

Well if you believe that then you should have no problem understanding why Ojukwu and his people had to fight to preserve their sovereignty and not be in Nigeria

Ojukwu led rebellion had nothing to do with Lord Lugard or preserving sovereignty, it was as a result of the aftermath of the January and July 1966 coups, which led to massacres of igbos in the north. Ojukwu stepped in to stop the massacres and not because he initially cared about sovereignty.

Lugard created Nigeria by the barrel of gun, Ojukwu created Biafra by consultation, yet Lugard had more legitimacy because he came from Europe to rain bullets on your ancestors? Colonial mentality is truly horrible

It was not Lord Lugard that created Nigeria out of the barrel of the gun. It was the British crown than created Nigeria out of the barrel of the gun. Lugard was just a British soldiers that was posted to wherever the British government wish. He was first appointed. Lord Lugard was not even involved in the British conquest of southern Nigeria, he only led the conquest of Northern nigeria. He was appointed high commissioner of Northern nigeria after the conquest. It was 15 years after the being appointed high commissioner of Northern nigeria that the British completed the conquest of southern Nigeria and put it under his control. So it made more sense for him to almagamate the two Nigeria's instead of administering them separately. From Nigeria he was posted to Hong Kong.

mrphysics:
Lol, you made a valid visualization of the energy mix or model that Nigeria should operate on. We shouldn't depend on only one source. We should have alot of sources. I agree, some states should use solar (but solar is so hard to maintain, requires alot of batteries, on the long run, you waste so much money. Trying to change panels, maintaining panels, etc. ).. But it's a good option.

One striking advantage of Nuclear Power Plant is that once you start it, you will be sure you will have 24/7 electricity supply for the next 6 months except in emergency shutdown mode. It does not depend on anything apart from accidents. But Solar depends on weather conditions which is constantly changing. Depending on the intensity of the wind, it could destroy your panels, or you may not have enough sun during rainy season.

But Nuclear doesn't depend on anything.

I wonder where you got the wrong notion that solar is hard to maintain, and hold tenuously to that belief. Good solar panels are expected to last 25 years before degrading to less than 80%. The component that is expensive to purchase and maintain is the battery bank. There is a design solution that doesn't make use of a large battery bank (or even battery bank at all).

The use of micro inverters on each panel converts the dc voltage directly to ac and thus eliminate the need for solar controllers, inverters or batteries. The only drawback is that you have energy only when the sun is shining.

This model can be applied to office or commercial complexes that operates during the day. It can also be used to supply power to a village or small town during the day, and other power sources are used for night time.

Deepfeel:
Long trash a general is the shining star of his troops kill the general and the troops will disappear , even in the bible king David stopped going to war the day he was nearly killed his troops told him never to come to battle cause his life is worth more than a million troops

Did what you wrote up there makes any sense, even to a 5 years old?

gidgiddy:
What you should remember is that Ojukwu called all the Chiefs of and heads of all the provinces to a meeting and they voted and asked him to declare the Eastern Region a separate country.

Compare that to Lugard who sat in a house in Northern Nigeria and created Nigeria with a stroke of the pen without calling on anyone

Which law mandated the Chiefs and heads of all the provinces to be able to declare independence? Which law gave Ojukwu powers to call all Chiefs and heads of all the provinces?
Do the process legislative powers?

Believe me lord Lugard's action was far more legitimate than Ojukwu's action. Lord Lugard had the mandate to amalgamate the northern and southern protectorates, because we had be conquered by the British and therefore submitted our sovereignty to the British crown. And lord Lugard was appointed by the Crown.

Now tell me what give Ojukwu the legitimacy to call the Chiefs and heads of all the provinces in Eastern Nigeria to discuss secession, when he himself was just an appointee of the head of state and not a sovereign?

Deepfeel:
Even if ojukwu dressed like a woman to escape its acceptable anything can be done to survive in war

But the real coward is this man awolowo who drank rat poison to escape misery

A general never abandons his troops in the heat of battle, that's the classic definition of cowardice. What happens if your enemy decides to slaughter your troops and your people who you purport to be protecting.
The Nigerian civil war was not the first civil war in modern times, but it is the only war the general commanding a side ran away in the heat of battle. During the US civil war, Robert Lee who was the president of the south and the general that commanded the southern army personally surrounded and negotiated the terms of the surrender, he did not run away because of fear for his life.

If we are to even accepted your warped history that Awolowo commited suicide, then that is far more bravery than running away. If IBB wanted to kill him and Awo decided to commit suicide rather than be killed or humiliated, that is an act of bravery. History had it that cleopatra of Egypt choose to commit suicide that allow herself to be captured by Octavian, and be humiliated. She is celebrated for that act of bravery till today.

A general that is afraid to die is not worth to be called a General.

Reference:
You need enormous industrial support to drive down prices and serious R&'D. Nigeria can get there but not tomorrow. No nation waits for optimum technology before developing indigenously. Let us adopt the technologies that are available. If we are going green then nuclear remains the best for now.

Nuclear plants pay for themselves in about 5 years. By the time the nuclear fuel is spent in say 25 to 30 years, perhaps renewables will have become viable.

A country's energy mix cannot consist of one source. It's usually a mix of Fossil fuel, solar, nuclear, hydro and other renewals in varying proportions. Most countries are reducing their percentages of fossil fuels and increasing solar and other renewables.

benji93:
At the moment, No. Nigeria especially. I am afraid, we are not capable of managing such a system especially the by/waste products. We cannot handle a potential nuclear fallout. At least not until we start caring genuinely about each other's welfare. If we embark on such an endeavor, Ithe first phase would involve the development of human resources. We may have to send students to study different aspects of Nuclear power, over a given period of time. Now, in the light of sending students, there has to be a team Nigerian expert on Nuclear energy, providing advisory functions on how to develop human resource with all important aspects of Nuclear energy in consideration. Following this, we would have to create an institution that would be equipped to train personnel to develop and manage our Nuclear power generation systems. At the moment I know of no single renowned Nigerian expert on Nuclear power generation. So if we would like to venture into nuclear energy generation 30/40 years from now, the federal government can specifically create a board that oversees the funding of students who would like to pursue postgraduate work in Nuclear Energy for a span of 15/20 years. However, given the cruelty of our leaders, creating such a board is an avenue for embezzlement. Our current crop of leaders is unapologetically corrupt. Let's hope we can phase them out, as we usher in a more moderately corrupt generation of leaders. The key phrase is generation of leaders not leader. Although it has to begin with that one leader, that will spearhead a revolution in which those potential leaders with some restraint will start considering getting into politics. At the moment, you cannot trust our leaders to effectively execute the first phase, which would require continuity. I wouldn't even bother mentioning the other phases. It's a waste of time for Now. By the way, I would think there are other safer alternatives like wind and solar energy we can consider, although the latter would be really expensive. But I suppose it's not something we would do in a month, perhaps we can spread it over 3/4 years.

I don't understand why people only condemn leaders, what about followers? The generality of the Nigerian population condone and encourage corruption. In fact corruption has become an acceptable culture. It's present in every aspect ed of our social, political and economic life. From churches, whose leaders embezzle almost donations, tithes and offerings to market women association, from our village development association to our collective contributions to achieve any objective.

What happens to research grants given to faculties of Nigerian universities to conduct research. The monies are embezzled by the dean of faculties and H.O.D.s. Oxford university has just been given a grant of £20 million to find a vaccine for coronavirus. Give that kind of money to a Nigerian university and the V.C., Dean and H.O.D. would do thanks giving the next Sunday. No research would be done.
Our problem is one of value system, until we change our values, we would not make progress as a society.

Reference:
Have you seen the Niger Delta. Why are you still pumping oil there. 76 babies lost per 1,000 births due to pollution (not counting adults) in the Niger Delta while the peak radiation deaths in Chernobyl was 26 per 1,000.

Perspective is often lost in things. It is similar to what you have in transport safety where few believe air travel is the safest mode simply because the unit death count and publicity is much higher.

Today folks shout pandemic up and down amd the world is shut down because 150,000 have died while the humble mosquito is quietly doing its thing putting 400,000 people in caskets every year with alarming regularity. If you ask anyone what is the most dangerous animal out there, they will say it is the lion or snake which most will not encounter in thror lifetime.

A typical nuclear power station will deliver between three to ten times the energy of a typical coal, oil or gas fired stations. That energy multiplier alone builds in significant safety benefits. The 5,000 megawatts we claim to generate can be provided by just one large nuclear plant or no more than 3 meduim sized ones. No silly pipelines to vandalise. You can then protect it with a whole division of soldiers if you wish.

The typical African is afraid of change, and continues to do things in the old inefficient ways. Another problem is that we allow other to do our thinking for us. I call that mental laziness. We allow Europeans, Americans and lately the Chinese to help us think about the solutions to our local problems, instead of putting our thinking cap on and drawing up our own home grown solutions.
We fail to see that the mosquito is the most dangerous animal on the planet and so we fail to look for solutions to both the mosquito and the plasmodium parasite that kills hundreds of thousands of black Africans on a yearly basis. And yet, we are spending billions of dollars in fighting a coronavirus virus that is yet to kill 100 black Africans.

Nuclear is the future of energy on the planet, and we have not even started embracing it. Our universities are only in name only, no actual research goes on in these institutions. They are only proficient in awarding degrees, and before I forget, training one to apply spiritual solutions to scientific problems

mrphysics:
Lol, solar is only good for small countries. Putting money on solar in Nigeria is purely a waste of time. It will amount to nothing.

Germany must be a very small country, because Germany generates 9.1% of its electricity from solar and up to 24.8% by wind - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_power_in_Germany

Putting money in solar is the best investment Nigeria and Nigerians can embark upon now.

donbachi:
What africa need is human capacity building,agriculture,business and people friendly policies and open market..not some nuclear energy.

How can you build human capacity, agriculture and business without energy? What will you use to power your class rooms, your homes, your machines and your businesses. No economy can develop on 4,000 MW of electricity. That's the power consumption. NewYork city alone consumes 3,000MW.

Even though I have always been against nuclear due to safety concerns and high initial cost, I think African countries need to start looking in the direction of nuclear and other alternative energy sources to solve our energy crisis. Fossil fuel is just too unpredictable and political apart from its environmental concerns.

asamaigho:
so u mean, u have to install several thousands of square meters of solar panel to charge a car, bro no let me talk oo!
Lord help dis generation, cos google fking dem up so badly.

I have been dealing with Solar power for over 10 years. I am working on building lithium ion battery banks, so I know exactly what I am talking about.

2buffagain:
Coming from a Pentecostal background, I agree. You have a point. That is why I no longer even do most Nigerian churches because A lot of them really are just personality cults.

Doesn't still excuse the acceptance of the Catholic flaws in the very same subject though. I think identifying these things and changing them leads to better togetherness on both sides.

I personally swerve Catholic girls because, at their best Catholicness, I can't stand the thought of somebody setting up shrines to a dead lady in my house that she prays to. Just not my cup of tea and does not match my theological beliefs.

I too hate the idea of setting up shrines of a dead white lady and bowing down to same. The same way I quarrel with the worship of a dead white man and calling him your saviour, your ancestor or progenitor. It's annoying when all figures worthy of worship are white and all images of evil are black or dark skinned. It's psychologically demeaning

asamaigho:
are d electric cars solar powered....bros go and study during dis lockdown abeg.

Believe me you are the ignorant one here. Both solar power and electric cars depends on batteries. You can charge your car batteries with any electrical source - solar, hydo, gas powered or petrol powered generator, etc. The same thing with a solar power system, you can charge your batteries from any source.

The amount of power you can generate with solar panels depends on the size and total number of panels. The amount of power you can store when the sun is not shining depends on the size of your battery bank

GalaticHorde:
I told you before to stop quoting me because of your irredeemable stupidity! But I will humour you just this once, the flags hanging on the buildings are German flags too right? GTFOH!

I don't think anyone should be responding to that handle, it's either a Russian troll or a very unstable person. You know the popular saying about arguing with a mad man, people might not know who's mad.

asamaigho:
solar energy keh!
solar energy dat cannot power an airconditioner naim d world wan move over to?
u wan end d world?

Who told you solar energy cannot power an air conditioner? When we have electric cars and trucks with airconditioners in them, how do you thing solar power with enough battery bank cannot power a 1hp or 2hp airconditioner?

Trump's daily coronavirus response briefings are going from bad to worse. It has become a platform to make political campaign speeches, attack the press, promote unverified drugs and make stupendous claims, instead of providing information and guidance on how to deal with the pandemic. He need not worry about how outrageous his claims are, his worshippers will swallow them as divine truths.
Today he claimed that his move to restrict travel from China saved a billion or more lives.

My brother, don't divorce your wife.




Everybody engage in this kind of chatting with Ex-partners ,some even wishing they had done things differently and marry each other. Virtually every married man/woman have nursed such ideas in their hearts.

Your wife just happened to expressed it through chatting and unlucky enough to be caught.

Seat her down, show her the 'screened shots' evidence of the chatting and tell her not to repeat such things. Then start being more loving, caring with lots of fucking.

False assumption. Not everybody continues romantic chats with their exes after marriage. I deleted the numbers of my exes and even changed numbers after I married. I had an ex who refused to let go. She even found my new number and started calling. I started blocking all numbers I suspected it was her, and stopped picking unknown numbers. It was after about 2 years into my marriage that she stopped all the rubbish.

If you don't want to eat meat, don't put it under your nose or tongue.

A married man or woman has no business constantly chatting on the phone, unless it is actually business. What will they be chatting about?

And why do you think the responsibility of being more loving, caring and fucking rests solely with the husband, in addition with proving for the material and emotional needs of the family

olabrinks:
I just gave birth a month ago, I’m still very much on my phone. Having a child doesn’t stop a woman from adultery, that’s not the issue here. Their underlying issues need to be resolved.

Now tell me, are you very much on your phone with an ex, a school sweetheart or an admiring toaster - always ?and keeping it secret from your husband. What do you think your husband would say of he found a chat with you calling someone else dear, honey, baby, etc, and asking why he didn't propose marriage to her.

mignone:
He'll never get peace of mind with a counsel as urs.

And he will get peace of mind with a wife he doesn't trust?

blovesther:
lolzzz not all women dear......I believe this couple(poster) have communication and trust issue.....else this thing is very simple to deal with.
Is not easy starting all over again so its better they sort it out and continue the marriage because the devil you know is better than the angel you do not know

Which yeye communication issues, they did not have communication issues when she decided to marry him, abi? How come they had communication issues and he was able to communicate the proposal to befriend her, engage her and eventually marry her? We like to behave like oyimbo forgetting we are different. Did your mother have communication issues with your father?

She just want to have her cake and eat it. From what the OP said, the old school sweetheart is not doing well financially, and that was the main reason she chose the OP. She married the OP because of financial security and not love. Now she wants to receive financial security from the husband and love from her old school sweetheart.
It's annoying the way nairaland ladies talk as if women has nothing to offer in a relationship or marriage and expect only the guy to give everything - financial security, love, emotional security, sex, etc, while the woman watches telemondo or zeeworld, buys expensive cloths, do expensive make up and hair and occasionally open her legs for the guy to do all the work.

specialbobby:
Op pls do secret investigation before you let your family know about it
And give her more attention more than you do before and see if she's gonna change

Gbam. You need solid proof before you can confront her or her family. She will deny and twist everything against you without solid undeniable proof. Get screenshots of all chats and save them on your own device. Install a spyware on her phone, so you can listen to conversations, see messages and chats and know her location.
Don't mind all those ladies advicing you to talk to her, endure, pray or patronise her, they are birds of the same feather. You are still young, you can easily find a more loving and appreciative spouse. Life is short and you must not compromise your peace of mind.

Mintum:
Abeg help me tell them, when they were busy tweeting #Remove45, #Resist, #NotMyPresident and other things, nobody accused them of plotting coup or calling for civil war. Now ordinary LIBERATE that Trump tweeted and they are accusing him of all kinds of nonsense

Pathetic argument. So because anonymous people write rubbish on twitter is enough for Trump to respond by calling for civil disobedience against governors. Was it the Governors or high ranking Democrats that wrote these things. What will you trump supporters have said and done if Obama, Clinton, Pelosi or Schumer tells their supporters to resist the president or liberate the white house? You would have cried treason.
If we should compare with how you guys insult Buhari, calling him all sorts of names and wishing him dead. You think Trump and his supporters would have gone raving mad.

Chrisbeks:
When Trump claimed that he had absolute power to reopen the country, there were cries of “authoritarian,” and “constitutional crisis.” Now that he’s largely leaving it up to governors, you liberals are now crying he's kicking responsibility, he’s putting the “onus” on them, or the “burden” on them. Damned if he does, damned if he doesn't. It's always about politics for you libs. There's nothing Trump does that you won't condemn and that's why I never take your criticisms serious. I know it's your default settings and it doesn't matter whether Trump does right or wrong, libs gonna be libs and drive themselves crazy over it.

You guys are schizophrenics, you have split personalities that argue with yourselves.
Now answer this, does Trump has absolute (you guys would say omnipotent ) powers or not?
One day he says he has omnipotent powers, the next day he says he is leaving the opening up of the states to the Governors, the next day still (yesterday), he orders his cult members carry out civil disobedience against the Governors of Virginia, Minnesota and Michigan. If the Governors called for a civil disobedience against him, he will be screaming "coup".
The US need to brace for a civil war to remove Trump, either next year or in 5 years, he will never leave without destroying the whole country

vladimir putin has always liked Africa because of its natural resources, climate and no nukes

Putin, like Africa? Men what type of shit are you smoking? Russian generally don't like Africans, but they are better than Arabs and Jews. How many African countries has Putin visited? Which Russian President had ever visited black Africa? The only reason i prefer Russia to many western nations is that "they no send us", they don't exploit or instigate us to war. they sell you arms if you have the cash though.

WaywardSon:
He downplayed it and did not act quickly but i remember many people calling him a racist when he made US the first major country to place restrictions of any kind on Chinese travel. By that logic even his critics did not see this Pandemic coming. He is clearly trying to deflect attention but that doesnt mean questions shouldnt be asked about the way the WHO handled this.

Stop making excuses for ineptitude, his critics did not have the amount of classified information at their disposal. When intelligence agencies briefed republican senators about the likelihood of a global pandemic, what did they do? the sold of their stocks instead of alerting his critics and the american public.

China has been secretive about everything and the WHO kept reassuring the world that they were dealing with authentic numbers, the United States Funds them and should ask questions. I personally believe the WHO allowed political correctness to dictate their handling of the Covid19 outbreak, rather than stand up to the fact that China was clearly lying about many key details of the Virus outbreak.

false. I know that according to trump's supporters, the US pays for passage into heaven (and probably hell also), but in reality The US is not the sole sponsor of WHO. Its contribution is the largest at 14.67%

The WHO's budget for the 2018 and 2019 two-year bracket was $5.62 billion, of which $4.3 billion was in specified voluntary contributions, according to figures now updated until the fourth quarter of 2019.
In this sector, the United States is the biggest contributor with $553.1 million, or 14.67 percent of the total specified voluntary contributions that ended up being fully distributed.
The next biggest contributors are the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (9.76 percent), the GAVI vaccines alliance (8.39 percent), Britain (7.79 percent) and Germany (5.68 percent).
They are followed by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (5.09 percent), the World Bank (3.42 percent), Rotary International (3.3 percent), the European Commission (3.3 percent) and Japan (2.73 percent).

China's contribution of $7.9 million amounted to 0.21 percent of the total -- behind Luxembourg (0.3 percent) and Pakistan (0.36 percent).
https://www.france24.com/en/20200415-us-funding-freeze-blows-hole-in-who-budget

Um, nope unless any other country can somehow protect EUROPE, Pick up the UNITED NATIONS funding, NATO funding, replace HOLLYWOOD and Have so many Nuclear Allies all over the world that will always be at your beckon and call even when you're clearly the bad guy and can still rain a Sheetload of Freedom from The first and second greatest Air Forces on the Planet. Nope nobody not even china can fill that gap, their navy and influence is purely regional

In the same vain, the US does not pick up UN and NATO fundings, its is the largest contributor.

Actually it is a well proven fact that China also covered up the SARS Epidemic even misleading the entire world on its severity for a full calendar year. Right now everyone is saying "listen to the experts" these same WHO experts who swallowed China's Lie hook line and sinker? They said that Trump's actions at that time were a bit immature, and did little to help. it is not only the US but other Western countries like France Italy UK and Germany that have been affected, what about the governments of these countries? have they also failed? the simple Answer is NO because I believe they acted based on WHO information which was not relaible when the world needed it to be.

When the say experts, it does not mean WHO? We are talking about epidemiologists and virologist like Dr. Fauci. The US has numerous experts in the field of epidemiology and virology. Trump feels he knows better than them all.

China will always be an Economic giant but the world is run by treaties and alliances not just money, old alliances last and when the chips are down America always has Institutions and to rely upon for survival, the ICC, Saudi Arabia, Israel, NATO, UNITED NATIONS SECURITY COUNCIL where their closest allies readily rally to support any motionput forward.

The treaties that is gradually being dismantled by Trump? Trump disregards the ICC and has a terrible relations with NATO.

who does China have? their neighbours are already US allies and Russia isnt exactly a very close ally, they also seek the throne too. Trump can only change policies for 8 years after which another globalist may take reign and its back to business for them again

China is building an allaince (i call axis of evil) with Russia and North Korea.
US is also having terrible relations with its neigbours - Mexico and Canada, and its long time allies - France, UK, Germany, even Australia.
