Like i said before, i do not know how it got to Nigeria. If you know what i don't please enlighten us all. Plus again, I am more about the pardon granted to Alams than debating on the Polio issue for now. Or does the pardon has any direct connection to the Polio endemic in Nigeria?

[b]Many of the world's most repressive dictators have been friends of America. Tyrants, torturers, killers, and sundry dictators and corrupt puppet-presidents have been aided, supported, and rewarded handsomely for their loyalty to US interests. Traditional dictators seize control through force, while constitutional dictators hold office through voting fraud or severely restricted elections, and are frequently puppets and apologists for the military juntas which control the ballot boxes. In any case, none have been democratically elected by the majority of their people in fair and open elections.

They are democratic America's undemocratic allies. They may rise to power through bloody ClA-backed coups and rule by terror and torture. Their troops may receive training or advice from the CIA and other US agencies. US military aid and weapons sales often strengthen their armies and guarantee their hold on power. Unwavering "anti-communism" and a willingness to provide unhampered access for American business interests to exploit their countries' natural resources and cheap labor are the excuses for their repression, and the primary reason the US government supports them. They may be linked internationalIy to extreme right-wing groups such as the World Anti-Communist League, and some have had strong Nazi affiliations and have offered sanctuary to WWll Nazi war criminals.

They usually grow rich, while their countries' economies deteriorate and the majority of their people live in poverty. US tax dollars and US-backed loans have made billionaires of some, while others are international drug dealers who also collect CIA paychecks. Rarely are they called to account for their crimes. And rarely still, is the US government held responsible for supporting and protecting some of the worst human rights violators in the world.

and population control of the third world countries is bad because ?

howfarwhatagwan: Now I know Nigerians are doomed and see me asking God the other day if we are the worst sinners on earth why we cannot keep our head up not knowing that we truly deserve what we get. I cannot believe that people are actually supporting GEJ on this issue and asking who the hell is Bill Gate. Is GEJ trying to play God or what? I truly feel sorry for him and all his supporters. Now I will change my prayer and ask God to give all of you (GEJ included) no single peace until you all repent or die because we will never move forward as a country with peeps like you.

My prayer ''My God in heaven GEJ and everybody supporting him on this issue give them no peace until they repent including every corrupt official be it in the government or private sector''.

because it means the black race will go the way of the american indian ie near extinction by the end of the 21st century leaving our land and resources for the europeans as is currently the case in north america, australia, canada and new zealand.

cap28:

this is the problem - you don't understand the underlying issues and yet you are quick to jump on the bandwagon - this is why research is important, had you researched Gates' backgroudn you would know that he and his wife are all about POPULATION REDUCTION OF THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES IN ORDER TO ENABLE MULTINATIONAL CORPORATIONS LIKE MICROSOFT EASY ACCESS TO THE NATURAL RESOURCES IN THOSE COUNTRIES. GATES IS ACTUALLY MORE POWERFUL THAT THAN THE US GOVT AND PAYS HUGE AMOUNTS OF MONEY TO LOBBYISTS IN THE US CONGRESS TO ENSURE THAT POLICIES BENEFICIAL TO HIS CORPORATION ARE PASSED AND IMPLEMENTED - this is why he is involved in such important issues as population reduction of the third world - why? BECAUSE HIS CORPORATION AND SHAREHOLDERS WILL BENEFIT FROM SUCH POLICIES.

Alams crimes pale into insignificance compared to the type of people that the US govt have aided and abetted:


go and read up about what the above did to their own people with the blessing and financial backing of the US govt.

You know the Europeans cleared the American Indians of their land right?..Im not sure your comparison is the best.
Furthermore, tell me oga..who currently benefits from the resources? Ordinary Nigerians?

Dude, stop acting like you are more knowledgeable than you actually are. Is this what you wanted to post? I was expecting some intense research discovery from you than this cliche. I already know about this and even more than you think. Didn't you notice, i instantly partially gave in to your theory immediately i saw your first response to my post? That's because i know all about that. But if you would stop trying to be the all knowing super-human, you would have realized that I am more about 2 things.

Firstly, Now that we know the origin of the disease, the question still remains, what is the solution?
Secondly, for the umpteenth time, I am about Alams pardon. I believe whatever sanction(s) any government in the world put against the Nigerian gov't because of this pardon, is worth it. Be it an imperialist gov't or not.

so the small pox that almost wiped out the American Indians was man made

[b]The hostility between the British and Native Americans after the French and Indian War suggests there may have been an attempt at biological warfare.[16] Smallpox had broken out at Fort Pitt in 1763, and the Commander of Fort Pitt proposed giving blankets infected with smallpox to American Indians.[17] Amherst approved the plan in theory[2][7][17] and expressed his willingness to adopt any "other method that can serve to Extirpate this Execrable Race."[18]

Seven Years' War in
North America:
The French and Indian War,
St. Lawrence and Mohawk theater
Amherst was summoned home, ostensibly so he could be consulted on future military plans in North America, and expected to be praised for his conquest of Canada but instead, once in London, was asked to account for the recent rebellion.[19] He was forced to defend his conduct, and faced complaints made by Sir William Johnson and George Croghan who successfully lobbied the Board of Trade leading to Amherst's removal.[20] Nevertheless he was promoted to lieutenant-general on 26 March 1765[21] and became colonel of the 3rd Regiment of Foot in November 1768.[22]


On 26 March 1767 Jeffrey Amherst married Elizabeth, daughter of General George Cary (Joshua Reynolds, 1767)

On 22 October 1772 Amherst was appointed Lieutenant-General of the Ordnance[23] and soon gained the confidence of George III who had initially hoped the position would go to a member of the Royal Family.[24] On 6 November 1772 he became a member of the Privy Council.[/b]

playboy19: I will keep saying it. Nigerians deserve all the bad things happening to them and more to come and the bad leaders they have.

First rule of humanity; Have no pity for a Nigerian.

I'm a Nigerian by the way. To any foreigner reading my post, please read through comments made my the poorest of the Nigerian citizens and make your own decision on how you treat Nigerians.

The government is constantly (on a daily basis) treating them like animals and Bill Gate who has been traveling all over the world, convincing world billionaires to donate majority of their "hard-earned wealth" just for the sake of helping this people and going around trying to help their polio ridden communities, is being painted as the bad person here. What an irony.

why is my comparison not the best? - the long term plan is for us to be wiped off the map - this why hiv aids and other contaminated vaccines are being distributed to millions of our people by the world health organisation, the likes of obassanjo and other CIA agents are very much aware of this fact.

who benefits from our resources? definitely not the nigerian people - just the european and american multinationals and the rest goes to our corrupt ruling elite who were placed in power as lackeys and gate keepers of european and american multinationals and banks.

Who is bill gates sef . He is just a huckster.he made his money selling a rubbish OS. We don't need his peanuts. Who does he think he is. We can get donations from steve jobs whose company is far more successful.


Exits sycophant mode

Good luck to those poor sods in benue. Your hiv treatments are now fully in the hands of the thieves at the top

somebody:

Why don't you stop kissing Jonathan's ass? There appears to be no cure for your own condition. Bill Gates is human so he is bound to not be perfect but judging from records, he is a much better person than Jonathan who people elected to improve the nation and not drag it down by being totally clueless and now granting pardon to a a thief.

“The State Department has advised him that Nigeria is not conducive for such visit at this time,” another source said. “We hope that the Nigerian government will get the message and return to the path of sanity.”
