LOGAN, UT - At 7:30 this morning, William and Melinda Gates were seen with Ted Turner getting of a plane in Abuja, Nigeria to meet with African officials. After speaking with Bill, we found that the three are meeting to organize an educational program for the people of Africa. Abuja, Nigeria Mayor Malik Ok said that this, "involves at least five nations." He would like to emphasize, "at least five."
The program, according to both Mr. Gates and Mayor Ok, would focus on educating the people in health related fields. Bill said, "We are targeting education on diseases that we think shouldn’t be killing as many people as they are now…we believe with education that these diseases can be prevented…prevention is not that difficult."
Bill Gates informed us that they have been in discussion with officials for three months now and will make a formal announcement in about a month. The program is planned to begin within the next three months. Mayor Malik Ok referred to the proverb of giving a man a fish will feed him for a day while teaching a man to fish will feed him for a life time. This is the goal of this foundations efforts. The foundation will be created in the near future by Mr. Turner. A formal announcement is to come.
