Bill Gates Identifies Hardship, Insecurity As Greater Threat To People’s Life In Nigeria Aside COVID-19

Hunger and insecurity have been identified as other possible threats to people’s life in Nigeria aside COVID-19.

The founder of Microsoft Corporation Mr.Bill Gates has said that it is most likely that the weather condition in Nigeria and India may be responsible for the slow movement of the COVID-19 spread in the countries.

Gates noted that “With luck, some factors that we don’t understand yet, like how the weather might affect the virus’s spread, will prevent large-scale infection in these countries, ” he said in his latest article tagged ‘Innovation Vs. he Coronavirus’.

He also revealed that although countries like Nigeria has a large young population, economic hardship among others poses a great threat to people’s life.

“Even though their populations are disproportionately young, which would tend to mean fewer deaths from COVID-19—this advantage is almost certainly offset by the fact that many low-income people’s immune systems are weakened by conditions like malnutrition or HIV.

“And the less developed a country’s economy is, the harder it is to make the behaviour changes that reduce the virus’s reproduction rate,” he said.

According to his article on Thursday.“If you live in an urban slum and do informal work to earn enough to feed your family every day, you won’t find it easy to avoid contact with other people. “Tragically, it is possible that the total deaths in developing countries will be far higher than in developed countries, ”.

You will recall that some criminals known as Awawa boys in Lagos and miscreant have become a menace to residents in Lagos and Ogun state respectively.
