Microsoft founder Bill Gates says that most of his fortune will be spent on improving health and education services in Africa over the next 20 years.
The 69-year-old said that “by unleashing human potential through health and education, every country in Africa should be on a path to prosperity”.
Health and education won’t do much. Africa needs infrastructural investment and economic development. That’s what these charities never realise.
Wait a second… didn’t he “give away all his money” back in the 2000s too?
“I’ll give away my money, sure… WHEN I’M ***FUCKING DEAD!***” screams Bill Gates, one of the richest men in the world, as he flips the double bird to a bus full of orphans. Everyone applauds.
The man isn’t perfect, but he doesn’t seem to be actively evil.
Bang on!
Maybe they should start improving things themselves instead of getting M$ money.
Such a waste. Probably so many other things it could have been used for. He made his money off the west but gives it away to Africa mostly for good boy points. He doesn’t care about it, Malinda cares about it.
Most of it will evaporate through corruption and the people will continue to hate and demonize him as they do now. Bribe price from presidents all the way down to local officials and police will be necessary for any development way before a single bore hole is drilled or road built. The current perception of Bill Gates across Africa is very far from positive and I doubt anything will change that.
