I plan to give virtually all of my wealth to my foundation — Billionaire Bill Gates

Billionaire Bill Gates has announced this week that he’s donating $20 billion to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, while reiterating his pledge to give away “virtually all of my wealth to the foundation,”

The 66-year-old founder of co-founder of Microsoft made the announcement on his social media page.

His Post on Twitter reads;

Several huge global setbacks over the past few years have left many people discouraged and wondering whether the world is destined to get worse.

The pandemic is one of the biggest setbacks in history. The war on Ukraine is a gigantic tragedy for the entire world. The damage from climate change is already worse than most models predicted. The U.S. has taken a huge step backwards for gender equality and women’s health.

But I’m still optimistic. These setbacks are happening in the context of two decades’ worth of historic progress and I believe it is possible to mitigate the damage and get back to the progress the world was making.

Melinda and I started the @gatesfoundation in 2000 because we believed that every person should have the chance to live a healthy and productive life. That vision remains the same, but the great crises of our time require all of us to do more.

In other news, controversial relationship expert, Blessing Okoro, has taken to her social media page to share her opinion on why most successful women remain single for a long time.

According to Blessing, most Men who are small minded always end up being intimidated by a Woman’s success and that is the reason most of these successful women are single.

In her words;

“It is because a lot of men do not have any other thing to offer a woman apart from money, yes just money. So when you start making money as a woman, a lot of men get intimidated.

The truth is a lot of men are small minded, many men are still boys covered in Men’s body because in this part of the world, when you have a manhood that is standing and sleeping, that is still functioning, they call you a man – but so many men are still boys, they don’t know how to handle a woman, they don’t know that a woman has other needs apart from money.”

Vote-buying can’t stop now – Oluwo of Iwo

Oba Abdulrosheed Akanbi, the Oluwo of Iwoland, has stated that vote buying cannot be stopped in Nigerian democracy because of the way politicians run the system.

The monarch stated this on Saturday, July 16, shortly after casting his vote at Unit 1 Ward 2, in Iwo town Iwo Local Government.

According to him, vote buying will only stop when government start doing what is right, and allow citizens to enjoy the dividends of democracy.

“vote buying is a challenge to democracy. The populace does not have hope. They are getting what they can get. It is a bad situation. We do not know when to get out of it. The new breeds of politicians will help us to get out of it but people are hungry. They need food. Vote buying cannot stop now until we see real.

“My domain is peaceful. I have told them nobody should stay home. They should show their voting strength. We want to see our strength. Nobody should stay home and watch television.” He said.

In other news, popular Nollywood actor, Imeh Bishop Umoh otherwise known as Okon Lagos, has said he will sell his vote to any politician willing to pay the ‘right price’.

He made this declaration in a video shared on his Instagram page while speaking on the 2023 general elections and the vote-buying antics of some politicians.

According to Okon, such politicians pay citizens to vote for them once in four years and it’s only fair for him to collect enough money to sustain him until the next election season.

The 40-year-old comic actor said he would willingly sell his vote at $1000/day, and went on to calculate the total amount he would collect for four years.

He said there are 365 days in one year and when multiplied by four years, it gives 1,460 days. He then multiplied 1,460 days by his said price/day and it amounts to $1,460,000.

The actor said he would offer the politician an exchange rate of N500 to a dollar and when the total amount is converted to naira, his selling price becomes N730 million.

According to him, that should be enough to fend for himself and his family till the next election season when politicians will start canvassing for votes again.

A female graduate has said that she would rather date an internet fraudster, popularly known as “Yahoo Boy,” than be in a relationship with a working-class man.

The young lady stated this during a vox pop at her signing out ceremony, after her final papers in school.

Even when they don’t have food to eat, they have the desire for sex – Benue Government says as 80 babies were born within seven months in IDP camp

Benue Government says

The Benue State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA) has revealed 80 babies were born within seven months in the Internally Displaced People (IDP) camps in the state.

The Executive Secretary of SEMA, Dr Emmanuel Shior, made this disclosure while speaking to journalists during the agency’s distribution of relief materials to the camps on Friday, July 15.

He stated that it’s hard to control the sexual urges of the internally displayed people because they are humans and most of them are staying with their partners in the camp.

 Benue Government says

According to him, even when the IDPs don’t have food to eat, they still have the urge to copulate hence the high birthrate.

In his words,

“The agency is very strict on illicit sexual affairs in the camps. It is very difficult to control the tide of births in the camps, the IDPs are human beings.

It is the nature of man, even when they don’t have food to eat, they have the desire for sex; that cannot be taken away from the IDPs. Most of them have their families at the camps.

The aspect we try to control is unmarried people sleeping with each other; other unlawful sexual acts are also forbidden in the camps”.

Nigerian pastor, Gbenga Wemimo narrates how a man he healed of leg cancer gifted him a private jet

Gbenga Wemimo narrates

Nigerian evangelist, Gbenga Wemimo has taken to Twitter to narrate how a man he healed of leg cancer gifted him a private jet.

The clergyman disclosed that he met the man at Gatwick Airport in England on Friday, July 15, and healed him of the illness that had confined him to a wheelchair.

In appreciation of the healing, the man reportedly gifted him a private jet to aid his missionary work.

He wrote,

“I ordered my first private jet yesterday. It will take two years to be built and delivered because I wanted it to be brand new

PS: Before you start crying “Pastors this, Pastors that”, note that I didn’t buy it with my money, I was encouraged to order it by a man I healed at the Gatwick Airport yesterday.

It all happened in a jiffy and as this man was healed of cancer of the leg (he was raised from a wheelchair) He said “You need to be able to reach the world in real time and not wait here at the airport while your flight is delayed for hours.

I didn’t ask for it or see it coming
I didn’t even know he could afford a private jet because of how he was dressed
I just did the gospel as I have always done
The gospel introduced the life of Jesus to this young man and prompted him to say “I will buy this, just order it”

When I had my First crusade at Ojota in 2018, my biological father saw the pictures on Facebook and the stinker he sent to me was legendary. He said “I paid millions to put you through Bowen University and you have chosen to throw it all away by carrying the Bible and microphone like a beggar?

The words were like strokes of cane on my back but I had seen my future in Christ in 2007 and I knew time would convince the world that obeying the Lord is the smartest move for any man.

Now for those who may be saying “sell it and give the money to the poor”, please be smart and check my timeline.

I have had the poor on monthly payroll for years through the ministry.
Widows, orphans, prisoners, those in hospitals, students, start up businesses and welfare cases by the millions are taken care of by the ministry daily.”

Meanwhile, a Nigerian man has taken to micro-blogging platform, Twitter, to dish out some marital advice to married men and soon-to-be husbands.

@RowlyDaDon recently celebrated his seventh wedding anniversary with his wife and mother of his two kids, and decided to share seven marriage advice to people.

Read his full post as shared on Monday, July 4,

“1. Never compare your wife to another woman, in any area whatsoever.
Even if it is your mother, Never make that mistake. This is also applicable to ladies who especially compare their partners to their dads or other men they once dated. It is the wrongest thing to do. If you do this, that relationship won’t see the light of day. It will only end in frustration. When you do this, it only demoralizes & dampens your partner especially when you say it. It kills the spark in that marriage. Most times you think it, but stop. Avoid it at all cost.

Never watch Porn You might be tempted to want to learn one or two things from porn to spice up to sex life or learn a few things. Trust me, that thing will only damage your sex life. Remember sex involves more of your mind & soul that your physical body, this is same as porn.”

Why a lot of successful women are still single — Relationship Expert, Blessing Okoro

Controversial relationship expert, Blessing Okoro, has taken to her social media page to share her opinion on why most successful women remain single for a long time.

According to Blessing, most Men who are small minded always end up being intimidated by a Woman’s success and that is the reason most of these successful women are single.

In her words;

It is because a lot of men do not have any other thing to offer a woman apart from money, yes just money.

So when you start making money as a woman, a lot of men get intimidated

The truth is a lot of men are small minded, many men are still boys covered in Men’s body because in this part of the world, when you have a manhood that is standing and sleeping, that is still functioning, they call you a man – but so many men are still boys, they don’t know how to handle a woman, they don’t know that a woman has other needs apart from money. So when they see that a woman has money of her own, they get intimidated, they would not know what else to do for her. A real man would not be intimidated by a woman’s sucesss, he will focus on what she has and what she can bring, and what she can bring is VALUE which money cannot buy.

We also have Lazy men today who always feel that Women with money are not going to respect them and most of those things are Illusions, it comes with poverty.

When people are poor, they exaggerate alot of things.

Read what the President wrote below;

Because of our policies and investments in the last seven years, towards achieving food security, Nigeria is today much better prepared to cope with the inevitable disruptions in global agricultural supply chains occasioned by Covid-19 and the Russia-Ukraine war.

This is a country that was once dependent on foreign rice. Confident that we can grow and eat Nigerian rice, we closed the border to foreign rice, and also put policies in place to support local production. Today Nigerians are eating home-grown rice.

“The Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party, Mr. Peter Obi has no political base and structure to win the next coming election in 2023. As far as i am concerned he’s politically structureless with little or no experience to lead this country.”

“Nigeria requires a technocrat and a sound Administrator who will continue from where President Muhammadu Buhari stopped not someone who will come to take us back in the era of PDP. Nigerians don’t want that.

“Our Candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is the right person needed for this position in a time like this. He’s a unifier, an Administrator, a technocrat name it. That is why Nigerians both old and young are rallying round him to ensure that he wins the forth coming election.

“Presidential position is not for the unprepared neither is it an all comers affairs. Peter Obi can only become a President in Igboland but definitely not in Nigeria. Nigeria is too big for him to handle. He has no leadership ideology nor experiences like President Muhammadu and our incoming President in the person of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.”
