As the announcement of Bill and Melinda Gates’ divorce after 27 years continues to gather mammoth reactions across the world, Nigerians have expressed mixed feelings too over the billionaire couple’s sudden break-up.
Earlier, Bill had tweeted that they were getting divorced after 27 years of marriage, saying "we no longer believe we can grow together as a couple".
"After a great deal of thought and a lot of work on our relationship, we have made the decision to end our marriage," the pair wrote on Twitter.
The two had met in the late 1980s when Melinda joined Bill's Microsoft firm. They have three children. They jointly run the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
The organisation has spent billions fighting causes such as infectious diseases and encouraging vaccinations in children.
Bill Gates is the fourth wealthiest person in the world, according to Forbes.
While some Nigerians on Twitter noted that it was their personal decision that should be respected, others felt it reflected that Nigerian parents who endured hardship deserved a credit.

Hello, my name is Jack Sparrow. I'm a 50 year old self-employed Pirate from the Caribbean.
