A British journalist, Lowri Turner, has called on the UK government to cut its foreign
aid to Nigeria.

In a video that has now gone viral, Lowri, while speaking on the Channel 5 show 
in the UK, questioned the accountability of the funds sent as aid to Nigeria. She
argued that the £136 million sent to countries like Nigeria is often lost to high-
level corruption and fails to reach the ordinary people who actually need it.

She said that a country like Nigeria with so many millionaires and losing over $
15 billion to corruption yearly, should not be handed more foreign aid that cannot
be accounted for.

She said the UK is facing severe domestic challenges, hardworking British citizens
cannot afford their energy bills or food and that such aids to countries like Nigeria
need to be cut short.

She said the UK government has a greater responsibility to take care of its own 
citizens before sending millions abroad.

> So, we are giving money to a country that has a great number of wealthy people

> There is no doubt aid funnels corruption in certain countries. It also infantilizes
> them. If you ask some people in African countries, they say ‘’We don’t want white
> saviour complex’. We want to be able to build our own economies”

She wondered why the Nigerian government would continue to require aid from foreign
countries when it boasts of so many millionaires. 

Her submission has sparked a debate online.

  TL;DR (AI Generated)

British TV anchor Lowri Turner has publicly urged the UK government to stop providing
£136 million in annual financial aid to Nigeria.

She argued that the funds largely fuel corruption and fail to reach ordinary citizens
in a nation that boasts numerous millionaires and loses billions to graft.

Turner concluded that the UK should redirect these funds to support its own struggling
citizens instead of continuing foreign aid.
