Justice Eta, 14 months old, held out his tiny thumb.

An ink spot certified that he had been immunised against polio and measles, thanks to a vaccination drive supported by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

But polio is not the only threat Justice faces. Almost since birth, he has had respiratory trouble. His neighbours call it "the cough".

People blame fumes and soot spewing from flames that tower 300 feet into the air over a nearby oil plant.

It is owned by the Italian petroleum giant Eni, whose investors include the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

The author of that should get into fantasy fiction for his writing style. I mean yes it's a story with a serious message but wasnt the:

His face was beaded with sweat caused either by illness or by heat from the flames that illuminate Ebocha day and night. Ebocha means "city of lights".

laying it on a bit thick. I was waiting for.... 'the muscled warrior took out his double sided axe and thumbed the sharpened blade, his honed eye looked for any imperfections that could slow down a clean strike in the heat of battle......

It's a shame that in this journalistic and internet led age the quality of articles has decreased to this level just to cover column inches. Give us the facts and stop with the sensationalistic crap already.

BTW if you like my addition to the article you'll soon be able to read my stories in a paper near you, starting this week with could global warming be contributing to the appearance of three headed mutant war fish of doom.

Yeah.. LOL.. absolutely silly- but what do you expect from "the indiatimes"?
The guy who wrote it won't even admit it. I didn't see his/her name anywhere on the article.

These are the least of the problems, with shite like Faux News (or on a broader scale - News Corporation) impregnating peoples minds with propaganda and pure rubbish I'd be happy to ignore this guys writing style.
