THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO BILL GATES (PART 2) By Femi Fani-Kayode
Mr. Ray Jason, a celebrated and highly respected American columnist, went even further by writing the following in an essay titled ‘Philanthropist Or Monster’.
He wrote,
“Imagine that you want to rule the world. However, your desire is not motivated by the usual psychotic lust for power. Instead, you have convinced yourself that your megalomania is pure. You just want to “save the world.”
You see your quest as Messianic. You believe that “the little people” are not visionary enough to comprehend what is best for them and for their planet.
You, on the other hand, have a stunningly clear-sighted plan. The world needs to transition from a chaotic menagerie of countries and governments into a Single Global Entity. Borders should be abolished.
Then leaders, who are elected by the whims of the uneducated masses, should be replaced by appointed, unaccountable “experts.”
The sun would rise on a new world of orderliness. Unfortunately, small modifications would have to be made to the common man.
They would need to surrender their freedom, their individuality and their ability to sculpt their own unique life.
Regrettably, they would resist such enslavement if it was overt and heavy-handed. Therefore, they must be convinced that it is for their own good. And the most time-tested method of doing this is through the use of fear.
Some dreadful and deadly threat should be created to terrify them. Ideally, this menace should also be invisible. It is far more cost-effective to concoct a hidden enemy, than to finance expensive armies, submarines and missiles.
Once the common folk have been terrified into submission, they should be “modified” to insure that they never attempt to cast off their chains. An ID Chip must be implanted in their body.
This device will contain a GPS transponder so that their location will be known to the authorities at all times.
Valuable information will also be stored on the implant. The “managers” will know if the subject has medical problems or a backyard garden or expertise with firearms or non-conformist tendencies.
A score will be assigned to each human unit according to how compliant they have been to the wishes of the Global State.
Mandatory vaccines can also be used to subdue the population. These will be promoted as life-saving cures for various diseases. In some cases, that will actually be true – in order to establish trust in these inoculations.
However just as every other medication from Big Pharma has side effects, these can also produce outcomes that are tragic … but useful.
For example, they might induce submissiveness or decrease testosterone or reduce female egg counts or lead to outright sterility.
To insure maximum control of the regular people, cash would have to be eliminated. Paper money would be replaced by digital currencies, which would allow the technocrats to track every single financial transaction.
This would eliminate any underground economy that normal folks could use to circumvent the system or the controllers.
We can’t have people selling their neighbors veggies from their backyard garden or fixing their laptop in exchange for a haircut. And most importantly, it would also let the tyrants “disappear” one’s account if it suited their interests.
Eventually, it was time for the self-anointed messiah to convert his theoretical agenda into actual reality. His motive had been established from his early days in a family full of prominent eugenicists.
They believed, in their Utopian Dreams (or nightmares) that individual humans could be vastly “improved” just as livestock can be upgraded through selective breeding.
And if that goal proved too elusive, then their numbers would have to be significantly decreased. In animal husbandry, they refer to it as culling the herd. In human history, it is known as genocide.
The Savior amassed an incredible fortune, so he now had both the motive and the means. He created an enormous foundation whose tentacles spanned the globe.
Such organisations were immensely powerful because through their grants they gained the loyalty of those receiving the money. And, despite their names, non-profit operations were actually highly profitable in many nefarious ways.
The world’s best publicists were hired to conjure up the image of a savior driven only by the desire to help humanity. He was transformed from a nerdy computer geek into the world’s most noble philanthropist.
He decided that the best catastrophe scenario for fulfilling his master plan was a pandemic. So he began buying up the most important players and organizations in the global public health sphere.
His financing of the World Health Organization was so colossal that it exceeded every country in the world except the U.S. In his homeland, he quietly funded the CDC and the NIH right into his back pocket. Because of its infectious disease specialty, Johns Hopkins would receive millions and millions.
Understanding the need to create maximum fear and panic, he bank-rolled two medical statistic institutes. The one in England had a track record for insanely inaccurate and exaggerated predictions. They were so consistently off the mark, that a Monty Python skit on viruses would have been more believable.
This was the perfect outfit for our hero, so he poured over $100 million into it. He also enriched an organization near Seattle that could be counted on for equally hysterical computer models.
Naturally, the media had to be bent to his desires. He poured sufficient millions into their pockets so that they could be trusted to spread his messaging. Just like in the ancient tales of genies and masters, his wish would be their command.
Silicon Valley would also be vital to this narrative control. Should any alternative theories or non-vaccine cures concerning the virus, start to circulate, Big Tech would insure that such explanations were censored into the abyss.
Since vaccines would become the salvation of the masses, he made sure to fund the top labs and factories around the world. Amassing obscene profits, while doing such noble work, surely should not be frowned upon.
Because his operation was based in the U.S., he dedicated a lot of focus there. After all, he could not risk getting his foundation kicked out of the country in the same way that other nations had given him the boot. He also felt the need to keep, what he perceived as the maverick President, on a short leash.
Fortunately, he had two of his best lieutenants perfectly positioned as the ideal gatekeepers for his policies. He had been their paymaster for many years via their work in the AIDS bureaucracy and the vaccine pipeline.
The Grand Plan first became visible to the wider world in October 2019. That is when the Event 201 exercise was conducted in New York City. This was a war-game simulation of what would occur if a deadly corona-virus got loose in the world.
The major financial sponsors for this drill were our philanthropist’s foundation, the WHO, Johns Hopkins and the World Economic Forum. This latter group is comprised of the top tier of the 1%, who gather in Davos, Switzerland every winter to determine the course of our future. Predictably, they do this without consulting any of us.
Then, by some amazing coincidence, only six weeks later a dangerous corona-virus epidemic appears in China. It then spreads to the rest of the world. The philanthropist activates his machine. The statistical institutes make preposterous and apocalyptic predictions of death counts. The media bullhorns this bogus information 24/7.
And then a tactic of evil genius is proposed. Instead of quarantining the sick people and those in the most vulnerably categories, they insist that the entire population should be placed under house arrest. This reversed the protocols for infectious disease control that have been successful for thousands of years. Surely, these maniacs would not get away with this. But they did!
They conned convinced the politicians that if they did not lock down their countries, and if the pandemic did spread like the predictions suggested, then they would have blood on their hands and never get elected again.
These leaders could obviously see that such a strategy would destroy the global economy. So the talking heads on TV and the experts in their ivory tower institutes, shrieked even more ferociously. And soon the political class caved into the lunacy.
And now, a few months later, the messianic philanthropist looks down upon his handiwork and congratulates himself on the extraordinary success of his endeavor.
His fear tactic was far more successful than he could have imagined. Not only are people cowering in their homes, but they are snitching on those with enough courage to resist the tyranny. And they seem to have no resistance to the concept of Immunity Passports. And they are lining up by the thousands to work as Stasi “Contact Tracers.”
Whether the police would stand with the citizens or obey the authorities was an uncertainty. He was delighted to see that they sided with the government – rather than their neighbors or their own personal integrity.
The planetary reach of the virus had advanced his call for global government. He could claim that a world-wide response would have resulted in less death. This was an especially great concept, because there was no way to prove or disprove this proposition.
After all different countries had used completely opposite approaches and yet achieved completely similar results.
His lust for the micro-chipping of the entire world population had made tremendous progress. Indeed, a product that he controlled, called ID 2020, that combined both a vaccine with a nano-chip device, had made great strides in terms of widespread acceptance.
Conveniently, he would kill two tyrannical birds with one stone – chipping and vaccinating – and reap a colossal personal profit at the same time. What a fortuitous coincidence.
His dream of a cashless society had progressed significantly as media mouthpieces had terrified the populous by insisting that paper money was a disease vector. As if a plastic credit card was not.
He also smiled as he looked down at the destruction that the locked-down economies was causing. As an apostle of centralized, large-scale, top-down business models, he could see the damage that was being inflicted upon small businesses everywhere.
The huge conglomerates could survive and even flourish. But mom and pop stores were padlocked, while Walmart and Amazon and Costco were raking in gigantic profits.
And finally, what delighted him the most as he looked down upon this global wreckage, was the ease with which he could activate the same technique whenever he desired.
Another invisible virus could appear whenever he needed to further subjugate the little people. His scheme had exceeded his wildest expectations.
Astonishingly, despite all of this planetary evil-doing, our philanthropist manages to sleep soundly at night. That’s because those who seek to control others are not capable of basic empathy.
The vast majority of humanity believe in compassion and fair-play. But the power freaks are different from us. They are pathological parasites.
But even though his sleep is now untroubled, his waking hours might soon be far less tranquil. That is because many people are awakening from the hypnotic trance that has seduced them into submission.
The spell that the publicists have cast is fading. The gleaming, marble statue of the “Noble Savior” is cracking apart. And what is being revealed is … a fraud … a coward … a monster.”
I commend Mr. Jones for his insightdul, profound, illuminating and educative contribution. He has said it all.
Permit me to end this contribution with the words of Sara Cunial, an Italian MP who represents the ancient City of Rome. She hit the nail on the head when she said,
“We all know it now. Bill Gates, already in 2018, predicted a pandemic, simulated in October 2019 at the ‘Event 201’. For decades, Gates has been working on depopulation policy and dictatorial control plans on global politics, aiming to obtain the primacy on agriculture, technology and energy. The real goal of all of this is total control. Absolute domination of human beings, transformed into guinea pigs and slaves, violating sovereignty and free will. Next time you receive a phone call from the philanthropist Bill Gates forward it directly to the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity”.
I concur.
Why Babangida’s Hilltop Home Became Nigeria’s Political “Mecca”.
By George Omagbemi Sylvester | Published by SaharaWeeklyNG.com
Former President Goodluck Jonathan’s birthday visit to Gen. Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida (IBB) in Minna (where he hailed the octogenarian as a patriotic leader committed to national unity) was more than a courtesy call. It was a reminder of a peculiar constant in Nigerian politics: the steady pilgrimage of power-seekers, bridge-builders and crisis-managers to the Hilltop mansion. Jonathan’s own words captured it bluntly: IBB’s residence “is like a Mecca of sorts” because of the former military president’s enduring relevance and perceived nation-first posture.
Babangida turned 84 on 17 August 2025. That alone invites reflection on a career that has shaped Nigeria’s political architecture for four decades; admired by some for audacious statecraft, condemned by others for controversies that still shadow the republic. Born on 17 August 1941 in Minna, he ruled as military president from 1985 to 1993, presiding over transformative and turbulent chapters: the relocation of the national capital to Abuja in 1991; the creation of political institutions for a long, complex transition; economic liberalisation that cut both ways; and the fateful annulment of the 12 June 1993 election. Each of these choices helps explain why the Hilltop remains a magnet for Nigerians who need counsel, cover or calibration.
A house built on influence; why the visits never stop.
Let’s start with the obvious: access. Nigeria’s political class prizes proximity to the men and women who can open doors, soften opposition, broker peace and read the hidden currents. In that calculus, IBB’s network is unmatched. He cultivated a reputation for “political engineering,” the reason the press christened him “Maradona” (for deft dribbling through complexity) and “Evil Genius” (for the strategic cunning his critics decried). Whether one embraces or rejects those labels, they reflect a reality: Babangida is still the place where many politicians go to test ideas, seek endorsements or secure introductions. Even the mainstream press has described him as a consultant of sorts to desperate or ambitious politicians, an uncomfortable description that nevertheless underlines his gravitational pull.
Though it isn’t only political tact that draws visitors; it’s statecraft with lasting fingerprints. Moving the seat of government from Lagos to Abuja in December 1991 was not a cosmetic relocation, it re-centred the federation and signaled a symbolic neutrality in a country fractured by regional suspicion. Abuja’s founding logic (GEOGRAPHIC CENTRALITY and ETHNIC NEUTRALITY) continues to stabilise the national imagination. This is part of the reason many leaders, across party lines, still defer to IBB: he didn’t just rule; he rearranged the map of power.
Then there’s the regional dimension. Under his watch, Nigeria led the creation and deployment of ECOMOG in 1990 to staunch Liberia’s bloody civil war, a bold move that announced Abuja as a regional security anchor. The intervention was imperfect, contested and costly, but it helped define West Africa’s collective security posture and Nigeria’s leadership brand. When neighboring states now face crises, the memory of that precedent still echoes in diplomatic corridors and Babangida’s counsel retains currency among those who remember how decisions were made.
Jonathan’s praise and the unity argument.
Jonathan’s tribute (stressing Babangida’s non-sectional outlook and commitment to unity) goes to the heart of the Hilltop mystique. For a multi-ethnic federation straining under distrust, figures who can speak across divides are prized. Jonathan’s point wasn’t nostalgia; it was a live assessment of a man many still call when Nigeria’s seams fray. That’s why the parade to Minna continues: the anxious, the ambitious and the statesmanlike alike seek an elder who can convene rivals and cool temperatures.
The unresolved shadow: June 12 and the ethics of influence.
No honest appraisal can skip the hardest chapter: the annulment of the 12 June 1993 election (judged widely as free and fair) was a rupture that delegitimised the transition and scarred Nigeria’s democratic journey. Political scientist Larry Diamond has repeatedly identified June 12 as a prime example of how authoritarian reversals corrode democratic legitimacy and public trust. His larger warning (“few developments are more destructive to the legitimacy of new democracies than blatant and pervasive political corruption”) captures the moral crater that followed the annulment and the years of drift that ensued. Those wounds are part of the Babangida legacy too and they complicate the reverence that a steady stream of visitors displays.
Max Siollun, a leading historian of Nigeria’s military era, has observed (provocatively) that the military’s “greatest contribution” to democracy may have been to rule “long and badly enough” that Nigerians lost appetite for soldiers in power. It’s a stinging line, yet it helps explain the paradox of IBB’s status: the same system he personified taught Nigeria costly lessons that hardened its democratic reflexes. Today’s generation visits the Hilltop not to revive militarism but to harvest hard-won insights about managing a fragile federation.
What sustains the pilgrimage.
1) Institutional memory: Nigeria’s politics often suffers amnesia. Babangida offers a living archive of security crises navigated, regional diplomacy attempted, volatile markets tempered and power-sharing experiments designed. Whether one applauds or condemns specific choices, the muscle memory of governing a complex federation is rare and urgently sought.
2) Convening power: In a season of polarisation, the ability to sit warring factions in the same room is not small capital. Babangida’s imprimatur remains a safe invitation card few refuse it, fewer ignore it. That convening power explains why movements, parties and would-be presidents keep filing up the long driveway. Recent delegations have explicitly cast their courtesy calls in the language of unity, loyalty and patriotism ahead of pivotal elections.
3) Signals to the base: Visiting Minna telegraphs seriousness to party structures and funders. It says: “I have sought counsel where history meets experience.” In Nigeria’s coded political theatre, that signal still matters. Outlets have reported for years that many aspirants treat the Hilltop as an obligatory stop an unflattering reality, perhaps, but a revealing one.
4) The man and the myth: The mansion itself, with its opulence and aura, has become a set piece in Nigeria’s story of power, admired by some, resented by others, but always discussed. The myth feeds the pilgrimage; the pilgrimage feeds the myth.
The balance sheet at 84.
To treat Babangida solely as a sage is to forget the costs of his era; to treat him only as a villain is to ignore the architecture that still holds parts of Nigeria together. Abuja’s relocation stands as a stabilising bet that paid off. ECOMOG, for all its flaws, seeded a habit of regional responsibility. Conversely, June 12 remains a national cautionary tale about elite manipulation, civilian marginalisation and the brittleness of transitions managed from above. These are not contradictory truths; they are the double helix of Babangida’s place in Nigerian memory.
Jonathan’s homage tried to distill the better angel of IBB’s record: MENTORSHIP, BRIDGE-BUILDING and a POSTURE that (at least in his telling) RESISTS SECTIONAL ISM. “That is why today, his house is like a Mecca of sorts,” he said, praying that the GENERAL continues to “mentor the younger ones.” Whether one agrees with the full sentiment, it accurately describes the lived politics of Nigeria today: Minna remains a checkpoint on the road to relevance.
The scholar’s verdict and a citizen’s challenge.
If Diamond warns about legitimacy and Siollun warns about the perils of soldier-politics, what should Nigerians demand from the Hilltop effect? Three things.
First, use influence to open space, not close it. Counsel should tilt toward rules, institutions and credible elections not kingmaking for its own sake. The lesson of 1993 is that subverting a valid vote haunts a nation for decades.
Second, mentor for unity, but insist on accountability. Unity cannot be a euphemism for silence. A truly patriotic elder statesman sets a high bar for conduct and condemns the shortcuts that tempt new actors in old ways. Diamond’s admonition on corruption is not an abstraction; it’s a roadmap for rebuilding trust.
Third, convert nostalgia into institutional memory. If Babangida’s house is a classroom, then Nigeria should capture, publish and debate its lessons in the open: on peace operations (what worked, what failed), on capital relocation (how to plan at scale), and on transitions (how not to repeat 1993). Only then does the pilgrimage serve the republic rather than personalities.
At 84, Ibrahim Babangida remains a paradox that Nigeria cannot ignore: a man whose legacy straddles NATION-BUILDING and NATION-BRUISING, whose doors remain open to those seeking power and those seeking peace. Jonathan’s visit (and his striking “Mecca” metaphor) reveals a simple, stubborn fact: in a country still searching for steady hands, the Hilltop’s shadow is long. The task before Nigeria is to ensure that the shadow points toward a brighter constitutional daybreak, where influence is finally subordinated to institutions and where mentorship hardens into norms that no single mansion can monopolise. That is the only pilgrimage worth making.

He further stressed the significance of honoring artistes who have remained faithful to indigenous music while taking it global. “In an era where modern sounds often overshadow tradition, FemoLancaster stands as a beacon of continuity and resilience. He has carried Yoruba Juju music into the global space with dignity, passion, and excellence,” he added.
The golden jubilee celebration in London has drawn fans, friends, and colleagues, who all describe FemoLancaster as a gifted artist whose contributions over decades have earned him a revered place in the pantheon of Nigerian music legends.
“As FemoLancaster marks this milestone,” Ajadi concluded, “I wish him many more years of good health, wisdom, and global recognition. May his music continue to echo across generations and continents.”
