Th foundation also announced the immediate release of an additional $2million to the various Centres for Disease Control and Prevention to support incident management, treatment, and health care system strengthening during this epidemic.

The foundation also pledged to work with private and public organizations to facilitate the speedy development of therapies, vaccines, and diagnostics that could be effective in treating patients and preventing further transmission of the disease.

This man has spent more than the net worth of most millionaires and billionaires! He has spent more than half of that in relief and philanthropic efforts in Africa and he still is one of the richest men alive, in fact he is in the top 5! Africa is grateful to you sir!

That's good to hear. I hope the funds will be used wisely and for the intending purpose. NOT PROCURING VEHICLES /OR IRRELEVANT THINGS/ OR TOPPING UP ONE'S BANK ACCOUNT.

May God bless you in hundred folds Bill Gates, may your pocket not run dry. And the likes of Donald Trump should learn how to be a billionare, not by prejudice. And I pray that they use the money for the purpose it was given. Africans are so corrupt and greedy.

That's wah I call pragmatism..thanks sir for the kind gesture...I just pray GEJ won't use our share to set up committee dah will help distribute the money among themselves.

I hope our government won't use this as an excuse to come up with fake cases of Ebola. Anything is possible with Nigerians.

Unknown said...

Well done Bill n Melinda. Nigerian leaders n affluent people what has been your contribution? I'm sure a lot of you have prepared ur visas n sanitizers. No mention of any financial aid to support d fight against Ebola. Everyone is prolly looking at how to get a share from the #1.9bn the FG sought approval for. Sad country. Happy the $50m was given to the UN.

They did not say he is donating it to Africa, they said he is donating to the United Nations and other International Organizations, who in collaboration with the US and Liberia ‘(which is a former US Colony’) helped to spread this disease in Africa. So he is financing their research in treatments, then our government will pay for the drugs. My point is that he is not helping Africa, he is helping the UN, that’s two different entities. So the aid wont reach here. UN’s HQ is in the US, most of it will be spent in the US to make drugs, we’ll buy with our money. In summary his aid is not to Africa. Read the book billion Dollar Race to understand what I am saying in detail.
