Una too slow for this part of the globe..

You think Gates is doing all this just to "help" the poor?

Bro, you really need to get out of the bubble
No, he is doing it to help the rich, don't you think?

Bill Gates has announced an ambitious philanthropic commitment: over the next 20 years, he plans to donate the majority of his unprecedented $200 billion fortune to Africa.

Speaking at the African Union in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, Gates emphasized that the funds-allocated through the Gates Foundation-will be used to transform healthcare, expand education, and drive Al-powered health innovations across the continent.

How can Gates leave 200 billion to Africa when his network worth is only 117 billion?

I am prepared to bet my breakfast and lunch for the rest of 2025 that this is #FakeNews.

Update: @OP was partially correct, which means no more cereal (breakfast only) for the rest of the year

Gates announced last month that he would give away 99% of his vast fortune - which he expects to reach $200bn (£150bn) - by 2045, by when his foundation planned to end its operations.

"I recently made a commitment that my wealth will be given away over the next 20 years. The majority of that funding will be spent on helping you address challenges here in Africa," he said in an address at the African Union (AU) headquarters.

You live in a country where N39 billion was spent on "renovating" an edifice which was built over 30 years ago at the cost of N250 million;

You also live in a country where minister of agriculture decided that the solution to the nation’s looming hunger disaster is to hold prayers.

You see all these things going on in your country, but this is what you have chosen to get upset about?

Who or what damaged you like this?

I know you love living in a pseudo historical world of make believe and fantasy and you love rewriting history, but please in the future keep your fantasies for yourself and the other day dreamers who practice intellectual dishonesty like you.

Self loather who trusts his oyinbo master so much…

How do you know he’s not poisoning you with his dodgy “health care assistance”?

Where in your history has the white man ever given to blacks for free, as opposed to exploiting them?

What qualifies him to be a health care expert?

Do you know that millions of people in his own country distrust his motives?

Have you ever investigated what they say about him?

Typical trusty, naïve African.

What a big mistake he is about to make

African politicians after hearing this news will go for church Thanksgiving next Sunday
Sigh. Even I think it’s a mistake.

I hope the funds would be channeled into sustainable development.

This man does nothing but help and he gets conspiracy theories in return. If he wanted to depopulate you guys so badly, why is your population still teeming and bursting at the seams?

Instead y’all praise Elon that would gladly take the food from your mouth so he can become the first ever trillionaire. People really get the lives they deserve is what I’m seeing

There are some pastors that paint negative narratives about this man. Maybe because he doesn’t donate to their churches

Oya o, Adenuga, Dangote, Elumelu etc.
Over to you. Or do you want to be outdone by a foreigner in your own continent?

Also, if I were Gates, I would set up a board of trustees that would be in charge of rigorously scrutinising how the monies are spent. He should put legal experts in international finance and financial forensic experts to track spending both in terms of paper trails and electronic footprints.

If he ever makes the mistake of handing this money over to African politicians, it will grow wings and disappear.

Finally, I would advise that strenuous efforts are made to ensure that ONLY the extremely poor and marginalised in society are beneficiaries here.
Orphans, widows, beggars, the disabled, the homeless etc are the only ones who should profit from this generosity.
You think you are qualified to give advice advice someone with a$ 200b fortune or any genuine $ billionaire how to manage his money?

Some of you just open your mouths.

Try giving yourself advice to make $1m
