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.

    Sorry you got modded down for my poor joke. Only a poor comic blames the audience when they don't get the joke.
