The abolition of UN is very very feasible UN is a failed organisation already but trying to form jagaban in voting against its sponsors: It is becoming clearer every day that the UN Security Council has failed? Is it the same that failed the Syrian people and were unable to end all the atrocities in Syria? Or Were they not aware of Rahinga crisis? Or even that of Yemen? The civil war in Yemen that has already killed more than 12.000, mainly by the Saudi-led coalition, displacing millions and destroying most of the nation’s infrastructure. It has also left some 21 million people dependent on foreign aid to survive. Out of 27 million people in Yemen, 20 million are starving, including 400,000 children, and some 2.2 million are in need of urgent care. Come to talk of Libya that was invaded by the same member states when the body clearly voted against invasion, consequently creating what is now call 'Black Slave Trade'. 7 Likes |

Check it very well, it is either US can no longer control UN as previously obtained or her economy is facing serious challenges. US is not father Christmas, whatever it gives out, a string is attached either immediately or remotely. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Good one from Trump. Better to use the money for more important matters. Imagine me going to Christian pilgrimage to Jerusalem in a Muslim country? Is that not an insult to Christianity? Jerusalem shall continue be the capital of Israel forever and ever! 9 Likes |

Saaruman: So the only reason you are in support of this brouhaha is because of your religious beliefs and "Pilgrimage ". Strange I must say, don't Christian visit to Batlehem ?, is Batlehem not in Palestine? Palestine don't want the entire Jerusalem, they just need their land back. 3 Likes |

LionDeLeo: USA still has veto power in UN and does not need to control anything. The facts remain that UN is completely out of reality and tends to pursues the idiotic global liberalism which is dean of fantasies. As for the economy, USA is still dominant economy in the world even it grows at one percent. I had expected the USA to reduce its contribution to UN by 500 million dollars. 8 Likes |

It'll hurt America the more in the long run coz there are other nations/blocs ready and eager to fill that void at the U.N and in effect wield more influence on the geopolitical stage. E.g, China, Russia, Germany-led EU. These folks are not doing badly economically/militarily and are very ambitious. 8 Likes |

FlyoruB:They can't replace the US , sorry. The US have been practically begging other nations to contribute their quota to sustain the UN for decades, but it has always fell on deaf ears. If other nations are willing to replace them, then why is the US still funding the UN up to 22%? Even in NATO the US have been pleading for other nations to rise to their financial responsibilities, but nations don't want to spend if they can avoid it. When the US pulls funding, i am certain the replacement will be a drop in the ocean. 5 Likes |

https://www.cnbc.com/2017/05/25/trump-tells-nato-allies-its-time-to-spend-more-on-defense.html This is Trump pleading with NATO allies to increase their financial and personell contribution to NATO, which the US is funding up to 21%. Now NATO is very critical to the security of western Europe from Russia. Even then , countries in NATO still heap the financial responsibility on the US. Now if this Rich European countries cannot even fund their own integrated defense to American standard, is it the UN they will now fund? |

Blue3k:The US are fools with by far the world's largest economy. They are fools and yet their standard of living for a nation of their population is nearly unrivalled. You claim they give aids for influence and yet you call them fools. no wahala. They no longer want to be fools. I am shivering in my boots because i know how disastrous it can be for Nigerian health care if the US cuts aid. You care about Buhari and senseless grand-standing, while i care about poor Nigerians who will begin to drop like flies if the Hiv/aids medicine from America become scarce. Nikki Haley said, the US will remember this day when nations come looking for their help and their influence like they always do. You better tell your Buhari to look eastwards henceforth.

Efewestern:Efe ur mumu never do. Trump is wise. he's looking for ways to stop funding UN n other countries so Jerusalem declaration is a perfect opportunity for him. America is not father Xmas cos they aren't mugu. also the general assembly resolution doesn't count cos whether you like it or not, you can't dictate to any sovereign nation where to establish her embassy. moreover, Israel is a stubborn nation that won't for any reason forgo Jerusalem for Palestine. besides other nations are already getting ready to move their embassies to Jerusalem perhaps those nations Israel rendered help during their needy period. so who UN help? where was UN during Myanmar killings, Syrian civil war, Libyan slave trade n others? 1 Like |

Re: America Reduces Its Contribution To UN’s Annual Budget By $285m by Efewestern: 10:18am On Dec 27, 2017 |
JohnEgba: The essence of the UN vote was not to make Trump reconsider his decision but to tell who so ever cares to listen that the world don't recognize Jerusalem as Isreal's capital. Right now the United state is feeling disappointed because they thought since they made the declaration every other nation will follow suit, but hell no they got rejected from left, right and center. .. they didn't see this coming. You tend to judge this isreal / Palestine issue from your religious point of view, it transcend that, it about injustice, if the Jews think since they are God's people and that gives them the right to oppress any nation they so wish, then they lie. Not everybody make judgement base on religious / Tribal sentiments, You don't need anyone to tell you that the isrealis are very stubborn, arrogant and also full of pride. I even suggest Nigeria should downgrade her embassy in Isreal like the way South Africa did theirs. 1 Like |
