Obianuju Ekeocha wrote an open letter to Melinda Gates when the Gates Foundation started their $4.7 billion drive to promote population control in Africa back in 2012. She claims that their project is an affront to the the values of African women.
Here is her view:
"[Melinda Gates wants] to collect pledges for almost $5 billion in order to ensure that the African woman is less fertile, less encumbered and, yes, she says, more "liberated." With her incredible wealth she wants to replace the legacy of an African woman (which is her child) with the legacy of "child-free sex."
Without the health care or sanitation systems of Europe or the U.S., she expects more health risks to result from the Gates project.
She doesn't want sex turned into a "casual pleasure sport." "With most African women faithfully practicing and adhering to a faith (mainly Christian or in some cases Muslim), there is a high regard for sex in society, especially among the women. Sex is sacred and private."
From a more recent interview: "When I came to the United Kingdom 13 years ago, what shocked me the most was the loss of the value of human life,"
"We’ll keep struggling and fighting so one day the African people rise up. With a unified voice, we will have the confidence to say: We don’t want your neocolonialism on our continent."
