Anything of value is not safe in Agameland. Medicine that is sent by aid agencies to hospitals is stolen and sold in pharmacies. What cursed people! The good old days of robbing Ethiopians have been replaced by the miserable times of robbing one another. Do you think Agames will ever be able to get out of this loop?

REAL OR SCAM?


By: Simon Ateba (@simonateba)

On the surface, @SamanthaJPower, the former journalist turned USAID administrator, appears to be spending hundreds of millions of American dollars in Africa to rescue those "poor" people from hell. However, when I wrote her office to inquire about how the money was being spent after last week's announcement, they refused to respond, raising questions about whether the funds were reaching the people in need or simply being used to enrich American NGOs and their associates.

As someone who was born in Africa, I have never received any assistance from @PowerUSAID or USAID, and I do not personally know anyone who has benefited from their support. I have often suspected that it's all a scam on the American people and should be terminated, as it seems no real African in need is benefiting.

It's disheartening that while we rightfully get angry about those who loot stores being let off the hook, the individuals handling billions of dollars of American money that never reaches anyone are the ones being celebrated. I may be mistaken, and perhaps USAID isn't a fraud or simply a means to advance CIA interests in Africa, as some suggest. Nonetheless, it is shocking that no African I know, whether here in the US or in Africa, has ever received any assistance from this program. And now that they refuse to answer questions, it becomes clear that there is a lack of transparency.

I'm not saying that Americans are being deceived, but it certainly has never helped any African that I know of.

She should resign!
