According to msnbc, Warren Bufett, Mark Zuckerberg and 40 other Billionaires are giving away half of their fortunes to charity.

As a Nigerian Billionaire, would you do the same?

If I had a billion, I would start businesses to put people in employment so that they can help themselves and eliminate the need for charities, and give the rest to disabled charities. I don't think my life wouldn't be very different from what it is now, as I have no real desire to show anyone that I have arrived. Me and my family will probably live on 1 - 2% of the billions... But that's just me.

Yes I can! A million dollars is a lot of money talk less of a billion so why should I not sacrifice half to help others? But I am not just going to give the cash to any charity it would go towards a cure for HIV and/or Cancer.

Why not, I'd even would setup a non-profit venture capitalist company.

I have thought to myself that I'd like to grant nothing less than 500 children's wishes before I die (those within the power of material needs tho).

I will make sure I sponsor enough nigerian students to study in havard and oxford university so that some opportunists who had d grace to school there wont come here and rubbish Nigerian students telling them they are not employeable!!!
That's statement still make me sad whenever I remember it.
I will also make sure that I touch all the higher institution I attended here so dat many will school on scholarships and there won't b need for money 2 finance their project or research work. (Imagine u submitted your research proposal to your supervisor nd he collected d fund bt neva intimate u nd u still went on paying through ur nose for the research and @ d long run, when he/she writes a paper from your work, ur name will appear in d last author!!!)
