I wouldn't give Nigeria a single naira. That money will just go into some corrupt person's cush fund.

This is where I cannot identify with the liberal left. They seem to never acknowledge that the reason that so many countries are SHITHOLES is that they have shithole leaders that are so corrupt that nothing ever gets done. Then they turn around and trash the US as some racist hell hole. PUHH-lease.

This is why I've switched to Mac three different times now (since 1985)--Bill Gates falls for Nigerian Prince scam, and his OS is a shite hole.

Does it though?

$76 million is 0.085% of his net worth. Not to sound like an arse, but it's not like he's making some huge sacrifice

He's estimated to be worth $90B. On a proportional level, this would be like someone worth $10MM paying for their kid's tuition at LSU for a year.

Why? It’s not like the Gateses are paying a debt for Malawi or some super poor nation. Nigeria is top 30 in the world in GDP. They just are bastards who won’t pay their debts. Props to them for finding some virtue signalling sucker to pay it for them.

Good call. Not that specific theory necessarily, but looking at it from the Japanese perspective and not the Nigerian perspective.

Do they not realize Nigeria has the money to pay off debts they're just so corrupt they won't pay it?

I'm surprised the Gates were duped into this.



Do you really think this is how it went down?

I’ll bet the BBC was somehow deeply involved in this whole process.

$76 million could get every homeless Veteran in the US off the streets, for about 60 days, and provide food, clean clothes, haircut etc for them all, so they can go job hunting.

while on a visit to Lagos, President Buhari thanked the Gates for their generosity and said he was looking forward to hosting the Gates in Presidential palace, back in the newly renamed capital city of Windows Surface Pro

I'm not in any way wanting to be negative on a veteran, but I kind of thought we had many programs in place to help them.
Just curious as to if it's really just a total screw you go live on the streets thing or more of a complex issue.
