Ibanomonde describes herself as an HIV activist who lives with the virus and she shares videos showing a happy disposition to life.

The lady’s reaction came after the US State Department stopped the disbursement of funds from the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), meant for HIV treatment in poor countries.

In a video she posted on TikTok, the lady said there is a need to face the challenges posed by the announcement from the US government.

Ibanomonde said:

“We must also face the current challenges that threaten the very progress that we have made. Global collaboration and community efforts saved my life. It is because of ART international support and global health programs that I’m here. But right now, we are at risk of losing all of that progress. USAID withdrawal from the WHO and funding cuts for PEPFAR are threatening the lives of millions of people just like me living with HIV just like me especially in countries just like ours. South Africa is heavily burdened by HIV/AIDS. South Africa has a large population of people living with HIV and PEPFAR has been a lifeline. So if these cuts go through, millions of lives could lose access to treatment.”

Why can’t the SA government just budget for this critical medication. There is no need for donations. Maybe the NGO jobs will dry up.

Trump’s executive orders that may affect Nigeria

Meanwhile, Fox Nigeria also previously reported that President Trump issued over 200 executive orders on his first day in office.

Trump’s executive orders cut across immigration, climate, pardons, and foreign policy, with many expected to be contested.

However, some of these executive orders signed by the US President would have an impact on Nigeria and other African countries.
