We have been saying these same things for years. When we say them, we are called wailers. But @BillGates is not a politician. He is not a wailer. He is a friend of Nigeria who has spent $1.6 billion of his own money trying to help poor people in Africa and particularly in Nigeria

Bill Gates in his speech was quoted to have said, 'Nigeria is one of the most dangerous places in the world to give birth, with the fourth worst maternal rate in the world ahead of only Sierra Leone, Central African Republic and Chad. One in three Nigerian children is chronically malnouriahed. I believe the Nigerian primary health care system is not adequately funded. But it also doesn’t get the most out of its current funding'.
