Bill Gates Explains Why He Spoke Directly to Nigerian Leaders

The Co-Chair of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Mr. Bill Gates, again on Monday criticised the Federal Government’s Economic Recovery and Growth Plan.

Gates, in an interview with the CNN, said that the Federal Government’s investment in education and health was not good enough.

“While it may be easier to be polite, it’s more important to face facts so that you can make progress,” the philanthropist told a room of Nigeria’s government elite that included the President.
In an exclusive television interview with the CNN, Gates said he spoke out to implore Nigerian politicians to focus on human capital and its large youth population.

“The current quality and quantity of investment in this young generation in health and education just isn’t good enough. So, I was very direct,” he told CNN.
The philanthropist had at a special session of the National Economic Council, on Thursday, said Nigeria would do better with strong investments in health and education, rather than concentrate on physical infrastructure to the detriment of human capital development.

He had said, “Nigeria is one of the most dangerous places in the world to give birth, with the fourth worst maternal mortality rate in the world ahead of only Sierra Leone, Central African Republic and Chad. One in three Nigerian children is chronically malnourished.

“In upper middle-income countries, the average life expectancy is 75 years. In lower middle-income countries, it’s 68; in low-income countries, it’s 62. In Nigeria, it is lower still, just 53 years.

“The Nigerian government’s Economic Recovery and Growth Plan identifies investing in the people as one of three strategic objectives. But the execution priorities don’t fully reflect people’s needs, prioritising physical capital over human capital. People without roads, ports and factories can’t flourish. And roads, ports and factories without skilled workers to build and manage them can’t sustain an economy.”
But the Kaduna State Governor, Nasir el-Rufai, in an interview with State House correspondents after the NEC meeting, faulted the claim of Gates.

He said the plan had enough provisions for education and health, adding that what was needed was for states to complement efforts of the Federal Government.

Goodluck Jonathan denies N100bn from CBN Before 2015 elections

Former president Goodlcuk Jonathan, has denied media reports claiming N100 billion was moved from the Central Bank of Nigeria CBN and taken to his residence in the presidential villa, Abuja, few weeks to the 2015 general election.

Reacting via his former aide, Reno Omokri, the former president said the reports is false and baseless. He also attacked the Vice President for allegedly sponsoring the wide allegations of corruption against his person. 

Dear Vice President Osinbajo, Stop Hiding Behind Sources
--

The stories making the round in the media accusing former President Jonathan of looting N100 billion from the CBN and taking it directly to his house are false. Such a thing never happened.

The Presidency knows so which is why it circulated the story to various media houses and refuse to attach its name preferring to say that the story came from a 'source' in the Presidency.

I can authoritatively say that that source is no one other than the Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo.

These same story was leaked by ’sources’ almost word for word to several online media last year.

Let me state that these allegations are lies. More interestingly is the fact that it is because this administration continues to make false allegations of financial misappropriation to mislead the public by blackmailing political opponents that caused the Egmont Group to suspend Nigeria.

The suspension is soon to have a very negative impact on Nigerian travelers who may soon find it very difficult to use their Nigerian domiciled cards abroad.

Now, Nigeria is on the verge of being expelled from the Egmont Group precisely because of these types of shenanigans by the current administration. If Nigeria is expelled, it will be a great tragedy for our economy.

It is a lie that N100 billion or any other amounts of money was taking from the vaults of the Central Bank of Nigeria and moved to former President Jonathan's house and if Vice President Osinbajo is sure of his claim, he should come out and make them instead of hiding behind faceless 'sources'.

This latest round of fallacious rumour mongering is nothing but the desperate last throes of a government that came in through propaganda and is about to go out because of a lack of proper agenda.

The allegation is false and it is precisely because they have no evidence to support this allegation that they are using faceless third parties to spread this slur.

President Jonathan’s administration has the enviable record of advancing Nigeria’s anti corruption war and delivered results to the point where we made our best ever improvement in Transparency International’s CPI in 2014 when we moved 8 places forward from 144 to 136. Can this government say the same.

How many people will they demonize?

Bill Gates spoke, and they said he is a dropout. TY Danjuma has spoken, they have labeled him an anarchist. President Obasanjo spoke and they say he has Messiah complex. President Babangida spoke, they arrested his spokesman. Bishop Kukah spoke, they told him to shut up. Nigerians spoke, they threatened us with death for hate speech!

There is nobody involved in imposing Buhari on Nigeria that is not secretly or openly regretting it. Even his own wife, Aisha, is full of regrets and has not hidden it.

Some may not regret openly, but when they are alone with their conscience it is regret all the way!

You can’t be fighting corruption and be corrupt – EFCC boss, Ibrahim Magu

Ibrahim Magu, the Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), has warned officials of the agency to shun underhand dealings that can put the commission in a bad light.  

He gave the warning on Monday at the EFCC Zonal office in Enugu State, where he urged the officials to see their work as a call from God to serve humanity. “You cannot be fighting corruption and be corrupt,” Magu said in a statement by the EFCC spokesperson, Wilson Uwujaren.  

“You must be committed to your work and not mind the temptations because we will not spare anyone who is corrupt,” he said. The EFCC boss also advised them to always seek to learn from their superiors, saying nobody is a repository of knowledge.  

Earlier before addressing staff members at the zonal office, he paid a courtesy visit to the Chief Judge of Enugu State, Justice Ngozi Emehelu. Magu noted that the EFCC remains committed to learning and being guided by judicial prefects to carry out its functions of ridding Nigeria of corruption.  He said: “We are here to thank you for all your support and also solicit for more, knowing that we are not above board and will constantly need directions and guidance in the work we do.”  

The EFCC boss stressed further that the judiciary was instrumental to the achievement of the anti-graft agency, adding that its support would be highly needed for continued success.  He also called on Nigerians across the country to do the needful and join forces with the commission to move the nation forward positively.  In her response, Justice Emehelu lauded the visit of the EFCC boss whom she described as a formidable and hardworking man.  She also assured him that the judiciary was poised to support the anti-graft agency in its efforts at eradicating corruption from the country.
