$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.
And this is the responsibility of a private citizen or the government?
Eradicating polio is one the top priorities for Gates' foundation.
quote:
Nigeria’s debt to Japan is the result of Overseas Development Assistance (ODA) provided by the Japanese government in 2014 for increased polio eradication efforts.
The country has made great strides in its efforts to eliminate the disease thanks to this funding.
Nigeria did not record a wild case of polio from July 2014 to August 2016, when two cases were reported.
quote:
All of this means that Nigeria is very close to eradicating polio, which would leave just two countries in the world where the disease is still endemic, Pakistan and Afghanistan.
They clearly used the loan to eradicate polio within their borders so Gates is settling the debt.

Since your reading comprehension is so poor, I stopped right there.
