I no hapi wen I hear the news but this thing suppose challenge our government to step up. Naija na independent countri and anything wey go undermine the image, reputable or sovereignty of our countri we suppose man up fight am. E go bad say we begin lose our people bcos of failure provide antiretroviral drugs. I wan the Ministry of Health to begin work on modalities on how to take cover the gap so that we no go feel the absence of US support.
The only way now is to channel some of the budget for Polio and malaria and other non-death threat diseases to fund HIV/AIDS to subsidize the drugs and to make it available at any convenient time. Nigeria economy is big enough to fund our own health challenges and not depend on third party Aids.
These goes to tell you what our leaders prioritize, funny enough it's not as if the U.S government doesn't know that this funds are diverted, they know but most of the guys running the agency have their hands deep in the pot of soup including the U.S guys, so one of the major reasons why Donald Trump is stopping the funding is because they use AIDS and grants are special purpose machine to take out funds from the U.S government and with the help of our corrupt system, they usually get kickback's whenever fund's are released, that was why Donald Trump didn't blink an eye when he stopped the funding of WHO because he knew what was involved.
The last administration spent the country into huge debts with reckless spending forcing Trump to cut them those expenses and unnecessary aids to developing countries.. the DOGE led by Elon musk was formed to cut some Govemment excessive spending and they're working effectively.
