Ebola Virus Disease isn’t new; it’s been with mankind for over three decades with several outbreaks. However, the 2014 outbreak has been the most dreadful and catastrophic, claiming close to 3,000 lives in Africa.

Worse hit countries are Sierra Leone and Liberia. The first reported case was in March 2014, since then the virus has been spreading like wild-fire, crossing the borders into Nigeria, and for the first time gaining access to United States.

Nigeria may have won the war against the “evil” Ebola virus, but government at all levels have kept the awareness on top priority to prevent another outbreak.

There is no official drug or vaccine against Ebola, but since it entrance into the United States, mega research institutes and the WHO have intensified effort to eliminating the virus once and for all.

To this effect and to ensure progress is made in the fight against Ebola, that’s reducing the population of women and children in Africa, Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, 61, who is worth about $17billion, has revealed he would donate $100 million to the fight against Ebola. This donation makes him the largest individual donor in the Ebola crisis so far.

For that, God bless him and Bill Gates and Zuckenberg. For the hate America club members, what are your African billionaires doing to curb the menace of Ebola in their backyards?. Probably impressing the poor folks with their money and marrying so many wives. Like I said before, America and Americans are the most benevolent in the world .
