USA Africa Dialogue Series - Letter to Billioniare Femi Otedola ON SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH IN AFRICA

Dear Mr, Femi Otedola

I am a scientist. By giving your DAUGHTER a million pound property TO MARK HER 30TH BIRTHDAY. you have just confirmed what i wrote  in an article on the web  titled, Scientific research in Africa, WAITING FOR BILL GATES?

 i did write on Nigerian's  preference for Birthdays, burials and betrothals as opposed to libraries laboratories and workshop'

Mr Femi otedola   you have an obligation and responsibility to Nigerians because wittingly or unwittingly  Nigerians  HAVE  somehow given you the privilege of making money, out of  a dysfunctional system directly or in directly,

what's more it's the intention that matters not the size of the birthday present. and two you are not supposed to be buying a birthday present for yourself. or singing a birthday song to yourself. these you have done somehow these you should have   OUTSOURCED to your grown-up daughters', but you are not really allowing them to grow they should have been left to organize your birthday surprise with their own resources. AND ALSO LEFT TO DOING OTHER THINGS WITH THEIR OWN HARD EARNED RESOURCES, YOU DO NOT HAVE TO DESIGN THEIR LIVES FOR THEM it did not have to be with your own 2 million euros.it is the intention that maters not the size of the gift or the amount of money spent.

 Furthermore, Baba obasanjo had asked quite rhetorically, what ARE supposed to be doing on the moon?   LITERALLY OR FIGURATIVELLY Baba OBASANJO SAID"    Americans CAN GO THERE  IF they bring back rocks, we can buy from them. What if the Americans' refused to sell the rocks to us or are slow in selling   WHAT IF IT Is a matter of life and Death as it has happened before? IY rarely strikes the same place twice, but we ought to be careful

Each time there is a n epidemic or pandemic must We go begging for vaccine or stand the risk of being wiped out Epidemics come in various guises!
