Bill and Melinda Gates Are Paying Off Nigeria’s $76 Million Debt to Japan

As some leaders are increasing their focus on issues solely within their own borders, Bill and Melinda Gates continue to show the importance of looking outward — and they’ve demonstrated this yet again by announcing they will settle Nigeria’s $76 million debt to Japan.
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.

As the largest private philanthropic organization in the world, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation spends just over $3 billion a year on development assistance, according to The Guardian.
Eradicating polio is one of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation’s top priorities. In fact, at the last annual Rotary International Convention in Atlanta, the Gates Foundation announced it would match two-to-one Rotary's commitment to raise $50 million a year over the next three years, which would result in $450 million towards polio eradication efforts.

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.

I don't think you can say Niger on here no matter how much money you give them.

So, basically they are enriching/enabling kleptocrats.

So America isn't the only country propping up Africa?

Creative way to appease the Japanese government to keep their national systems running on Windows and not moving to iOS.

I'm guessing Nigeria somehow hacked their bank account info.

This is the kind of shite that deserves Nobel Peace Prizes, not whatever the frick it was that Barry won it for.
