In his speech, he said he was impressed with the impact Bill Gates foundation has made in the lives of people he barely knows and he would also tow the same line.
He said "When I started my foundation in 1994, I never realised we had this massive challenge in the health sector.
“Really, it was mind-boggling when we had this agreement to collaborate with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and that really opened my eyes to realise that there are a lot of challenges in health.
“At that time I didnt have the opportunity of meeting Biill but meeting Bill changed me into a different person. This is somebody that has nothing to do with us in Africa or Nigeria but he is putting his money and his soul into everything.
“He is very committed to helping humanity and that really surprises me a lot and I realised that he is a simple person and I never knew Bill would be this simple. He is a very soft-spoken guy and kind hearted.
“It is very difficult to find people like Bill in this world. Bill, we are very grateful and I can assure you that with my association with Bill, my only prayer is that in the next few years, I will try and give my chunk of wealth to charity.”

ReplyDeleteOn a police check point after being stopped, I asked the police man why he did not stop the Dangote driver that just past. His answer got me laughing out loud. "Those ones are terrorists oo. They enter the road after smoking what nobody knows. They kill and continue as if nothing happened".
