Bill Gates Denied Visa To Nigeria

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the let-the-419-jokes-begin dept.

Xight notes a Gizmodo story that is a few days old but hasn't gotten a lot of play. It seems that Nigeria recently denied Bill Gates a visa to travel there on his recent trip to Africa. The initial denial was "on the premise that they required proof he would not reside in Nigeria indefinitely, causing a strain on social services and a general nuisance for immigration." The comments to the post are worth reading too.

    Don't worry, many humorless oafs such

    It was funny, back in the 1960s when I first heard it. The 50 times I've seen some wanker post it on Slashdot in the last couple of years has taken the shine off it.

    Where does your family come from? I'm sure I can come up with some equally witty putdowns.
