Slashdot Mirror
Bill Gates Denied Visa To Nigeria
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.
The comments aren't funny, unless you happen to think that the crap spewed daily by Anti-Bill shills is worth a laugh.
Oh wait, I forgot this was Slashdot.
How do you know he doesn't torture puppies?
Seems like something he might do.
If moderation could change anything, it would be illegal.
You are aware that a "visa" is a small document (often included as a slip of paper in your passport) that says you're allowed to stay in a particular country and outlines the basic rules of what you're allowed to do while there (e.g. can't work/can work, can stay for a year/can only stay for a month etc etc), right? Many countries allow citizens of certain other countries to stay for a limited period of time without a visa (so you don't need to get a visa every time you go on holiday outside of your home country), however it appears that is not the case for American citizens travelling to Nigeria.
A "visa" is a totally different thing to a "Visa", which is a credit card. Journalistic headlines are generally written with caps for each first letter ("Bill Gates Denied Visa To Nigeria"), which I see could cause some confusion about the difference, however it really can be very easily gleaned from context.
