[Wimpex888]

Where can my family get financial aid to start our business when the covid-19 is over,? We are in Lagos Nigeria.

We are a UK based site,, search your Government pages.

Not sure if anything here helps.

Just send in an application form to the British government,Wimpo.They supply loads of our dosh to anyone who asks(and a lot who dont ask).Everyone from Palestinian terrorists to Ecudorean guinea pig farmers,all are welcome to our money.P.S.if you are British,dont bother,they dont give a damn about us.

^ Not sure why you bothered with that.

[ynnafymmi]

Just saying it as it is,FF.Im not sure but i think the UK leads the world in giving away foreign aid money to anyone who asks for it.Last year it was about 1% of our GDP.Crazy.

[fiction-factory]

0.7% of GDP. By Cameron's Law. It would need a change to the law but no party in the HoC as far as I know is against it so it is unlikely to change unfortunately- in fact some MPs think it should be more

Interesting table

Sweden – 1.40%
Norway – 1.05%
Luxembourg – 0.93%
Denmark – 0.85%

I know some foreign aid is essential and isn't really aid but ours does look out of line.

[ynnafymmi]

Its a good thing we dont have child-poverty or foodbanks in this country then,Fiction-F!

[fiction-factory]

we don't have child poverty in this country if you compare it to the poverty in 75% of the world.
And those receiving help from food banks are probably in the world's richest 20%
But I agree that the aid % shouldn't be set in stone
