Bill Gates Drops On Billionaire Ranking After Stock Transfer To Ex-wife

After a 27-year marriage that produced three children, Bill and Melinda Gates are set for a divorce.

On Monday, the pair shared a joint statement on Twitter, announcing their separation. “After a great deal of thought and a lot of work on our relationship, we have made the decision to end our marriage.

Over the last 27 years, we have raised three incredible children and built a foundation that works all over the world to enable all people to lead healthy, productive lives,” they said, referring to Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, which is the largest private foundation in the world worth over $40 billion and was founded in 2000.

“We continue to share a belief in that mission and will continue our work together at the foundation, but we no longer believe we can grow together as a couple in this next phase of our lives. We ask for space and privacy for our family as we begin to navigate this new life,” they concluded in the statement.

The billionaire Microsoft co-founder, 65, and the philanthropist and former general manager at Microsoft, 56, married on the Hawaiian island of Lanai on January 1, 1994. They share three children: son Rory John, 21, and daughters Phoebe Adele, 18, and Jennifer Katharine, 25.

Melinda previously spoke about how upon graduating college and landing her first job at a start-up, she began dating Bill, who was the company’s CEO.

“I met her at a New York City sales meeting,” Bill said in a 2017 interview with CBS Sunday Morning. “And then it was only a week or so after that, that I went up to her in the parking lot and asked if she wanted to go out.”

In the same interview, Melinda spoke about their foundation. “It’s absolutely a partnership of equals. It’s important to both of us that the world understands that we are running this place together. This is our joint values being played out in the world,” she said at the time.

Then in 2019, Melinda spoke about their marriage when they celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary.

In an interview with The Sunday Times for her book, The Moment of Lift: How Empowering Women Changes the World, the mother of three revealed details about the early days of dating Bill.

“He needs a little training, and he’d tell you that too,” she told the outlet, noting that he was generally easy to live with but recalling a time when she got angry with him after she needed help packing up the family car and getting their three children ready to go while Bill was deep in a book about Winston Churchill.

At the time, she shared that patience was the key to their relationship. “When he was having trouble making the decision about getting married, he was incredibly clear that it was not about me, it was about, ‘Can I get the balance right between work and family life?’ ” Melinda said.

Mike Bamiloye Hits Hard At Nollywood Actors

By John Michael Ojo
Veteran movie producer and actor, Mike Bamiloye has raised concern over the alarming rate of nudity among actors and actresses in  Nigerian home videos.

The Mount Zion Ministries founder who expressed worry  following the recent release of ‘Shanty Town’, where actor, Richard Mofe-Damijo popularly known as RMD and Nancy Isime played a role which many have described to be in contrast with the Nigeria Censored Board, urged filmmakers to be cautious of the role they play as it can have a negative impact on their immediate families and the society at large.

Taking to his Instagram account on Thursday, Bamiloye wrote:

“HEAR ME, ACTORS AND ACTRESSES!

Phyno Reveal The Difference Between Polygamy, Baby Mamas

By John Michael Ojo
Popular award-winning Nigerian rapper, Chibuzor Nelson Azubuike better known professionally as Phyno, has stated that there is a wide margin between those who practice polygamy and those who unintentionally have children out of wedlock.

Phyno disclosed this in a recent interview with a local news outlet where he said polygamy is when one decides to legally marry a second wife while referring to  ‘situation’ as home breaking.

The ‘Fada Fada’ crooner, added that celebrities are often misjudged when they have children out of wedlock as most people see such celebrities as polygamists.

Phyno however encouraged those who have been caught in the web of  ‘situation’ to own up and take full responsibility for the child/children involved.

He said; “Homes breaking is not polygamy, polygamy is when someone willingly says ‘I’m going to marry two wives,’ some people are caught in a situation and you can’t call that polygamy.  So, let’s be clear, Muslims practice polygamy.

“It can happen to you; it can happen to anyone. If you are caught in a situation, you have to stand up as a man and take responsibility for your child, you can’t call that polygamy. We always have to be clear on this because people come out to this.

“Polygamy is when I say I’m going to marry more than one wife, that’s polygamy. Situation happens to people and they are always unplanned, you called that polygamy.”
