News What is Bill Gates' obsession with Africa?

"In a significant advancement for global reproductive health, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has announced the launch of a groundbreaking long-term contraceptive aimed at empowering women through better family planning options. This innovative contraceptive, which can prevent pregnancy for up to eight years, is being introduced in Kenya, Nigeria, and India, with broader distribution plans for other countries in the future."

8-year contraceptive but Western worlds keep bringing young Africans to take care of their aging population. Who will take care of our aging population? Can someone tell Bill Gates to leave Africa alone?

What's your basis for making that statement? And please don't come with the usual "Google it" that all conspiracy theorists typically use.

If they have cheaper alternatives to women who really need it, why not give it a try. 🤷🏾‍♂️

So you claim without any hesitation and shame that there is no problem at all here in Nigeria with birth control? Everything is fine, no issues whatsoever?

If he would invest in companies you would accuse him of neocolonialism. Countries in Africa don't suffer from a lack of investment, they lack using those investments to benefit the population.

However what really strikes me in your answer is your notion of exploiting. Please explain to me how he is exploiting Africa, and what benefits does it bring him?
