tenik: abject ignorance |

faramola: So he should be above the law? He should not fill in the appropriate forms? Bill Gates has suddenly become God |

Big B1:And whats ur own state of mind? if i sound like a house girl then i think am better off coz u know u really sound like a truck pusher. Nonsense, i know u dont know what progress means coz if u did, u wont reason in an absurd way. i dont know what stupid laws you guys are protecting when even citizens of the contry are disobeying the law. |
Re: Bill Gates' Application For Nigerian Visa Was Initially Denied by faramola: 2:16pm On Oct 11, 2007 |
JustGood:Of course he has to fill the forms but its just senseless denying it first |
Re: Bill Gates' Application For Nigerian Visa Was Initially Denied by JustGood(m): 2:16pm On Oct 11, 2007 |
faramola: This is not the right way to reason. Do you see Americans inviting you to come and flout their own laws simply because Americans also flout the laws? Why should Nigerians accept that their laws should be trodden upon and at the same time expect to progress and have the world accord them any respect? |
Re: Bill Gates' Application For Nigerian Visa Was Initially Denied by JustGood(m): 2:17pm On Oct 11, 2007 |
faramola: What should have been done when the papers were not properly filed? |
Re: Bill Gates' Application For Nigerian Visa Was Initially Denied by JustGood(m): 2:18pm On Oct 11, 2007 |
If you apply for anything and you have not properly filled your application, it will logically be turned down so you can fill the application properly |
Re: Bill Gates' Application For Nigerian Visa Was Initially Denied by faramola: 2:27pm On Oct 11, 2007 |
Either u guys believe it or not, money makes the world go round even American Embassy require fat accounts so wat else does bill need to beg for. He should be respected at least. I think its because poor people hate wealth so they are always intimidated. |
Re: Bill Gates' Application For Nigerian Visa Was Initially Denied by faramola: 2:30pm On Oct 11, 2007 |
JustGood:ok this is accepted, if thats the case. |
Re: Bill Gates' Application For Nigerian Visa Was Initially Denied by almondjoy(f): 2:32pm On Oct 11, 2007 |
JustGood: JustGood: Did some of you read the reason Billy the Gates was refused this Ogbonor soup of a visa at all?-- After almost 10 pages of this thread some of you like egoldman and justgood are just posting for posting sake. It had nothing to with not filing his "application" correctly. Please this is not a JAMB situation. Go back and read the story provided in the link as supplied by the poster. Educate yourselves as the last hope you villages have--don't wipe out your whole clan with ignorance! |
Re: Bill Gates' Application For Nigerian Visa Was Initially Denied by BigB11(m): 3:18pm On Oct 11, 2007 |
Straight up from the link: Bill Gates was recently visiting Africa, but needed a visa to travel to Nigeria. Getting a visa cannot be that much of a big deal if you are a multibillionaire, or so you would think. It makes no different; it is obvious that something relevant or required must be missing from the application, if the Nigerian government needs proof that Mr.Gate would not reside in Nigeria indefinitely. |
Re: Bill Gates' Application For Nigerian Visa Was Initially Denied by Mamajama(m): 6:48pm On Oct 11, 2007 |
There is no credibility to this useless story. Doesn't BILL GATE have affiliate businesses in Nigeria? how many times has he been to Nigerian before? Another useless media story. Was Bill GATE not in Nigeria last year visiting with OBJ? Rich people don't fill out application. They have personnel or assistance that is responsible for all procurements. |
Re: Bill Gates' Application For Nigerian Visa Was Initially Denied by almondjoy(f): 10:14pm On Oct 11, 2007 |
Mamajama: I wonder oh! Thank you oh Mamajama. I wonder why he waited till now to become an illegal resident in Nigeria is the 8th wonder of the world to me. Billy did not try to take up a Kenyan or South African illegal residence status---It is a Nigerian one he is so inclined to take since he wants to set up his own revolutionary group to overthrow the Nigerian government I believe. Sometimes, I wonder what we are up to most of the time. Mark you the poster said he was "Initially" refused a visa? I guess he provided enough proofs in "bribes" to the custom officials to finally grant him this almighty visa to see the "King of the Giant of Africa"! |
Re: Bill Gates' Application For Nigerian Visa Was Initially Denied by delvinmaya(m): 1:00am On Oct 12, 2007 |
texazzpete, you really do surprise me. you actually think that by criticising the govt for all their policies is going to solve all the fucking problems with our country. All nairalanders do tell me. Do you all believe that by criticising the govt you are doing them a Big favour? if so then i tell you are all welcome to your opinions but had it been the other way round that you heard that Bill Gates bribed the immigration officers before he was granted Visa, what would you say. faramola even if he has done so much for African countries it doesn't mean he shouldn't follow protocol. |
Re: Bill Gates' Application For Nigerian Visa Was Initially Denied by JustGood(m): 9:07am On Oct 12, 2007 |
almondjoy: One would have expected you to give the reason(s) why the initial application was sent back; seeing that you seem to know some other reason for it and you obviously consider the Nigerian visa as Ogbono soup. You apparently want to go down the route of insults. I will respond in kind to your insults but I do not want to take away from what everyone else is currently contributing. One problem with some Nigerians who have happened to find themselves abroad is that they ridicule EVERYTHING Nigerian; yet they will be the first to tell you how proud they are to be Nigerians. It's no wonder the country cannot move forward. There are people constantly pulling Nigeria two steps back for every step forward the country takes. |
Re: Bill Gates' Application For Nigerian Visa Was Initially Denied by rexfx2: 10:05am On Oct 12, 2007 |
All hail 9jaaaa for almost denyin Gates a visa, a pity that we are not only backward economically but also intellectualy, who ever said due process exists in nigeria? we've got d most corroupt speaker in d world, we've flaunted d most corrrupt inspector general of police, name it, when it comes 2 dishing out medals for corrupt practices, we own all d golds, in ma honest opinion he probably got d hitch coz refused to grease d palm of whoever it is that waz in charge. my advise: youths we own d future of our country----we had better not fail like wole soyinka's generation. |
Re: Bill Gates' Application For Nigerian Visa Was Initially Denied by aparo(m): 10:09am On Oct 12, 2007 |
I dont believe this post sef. I think it is just another media stunt, u know, these attention junkies. But sef, no be Bill Gates company make Vista, why him come dey find Visa sef!!! Lol! |
Re: Bill Gates' Application For Nigerian Visa Was Initially Denied by almondjoy(f): 7:03pm On Oct 12, 2007 |
JustGood: My dear young man? I am very proud to be a Nigerian anyday and anytime if the global atmospheric conditions necessitate that. However, constructive criticisms are not a bad thing--that is if you really want this our Nigeria of a concept to move at all. Instead of getting emotional like a toddler stuck at some stage of psychological fixation, why don't you just see the message being put accross here? Please, we all know why the country cannot move forward so let's cut out the litany of kockamany excuses. It is not because of the likes of Billy. Please be realistic and stop this Ostrich head in the sand syndrome! The reasons for the "initial" denial was made obvious in the link--so what else do you need? BTW, like someone rightly pointed out--Billy had been to Nigeria before with this some "ogbonor" soup of a "slimy" visa. So why now? Thanks for saving your "mamaputtish" laden insults where they belong. As you can see others are doing a good job at that. You are going to forever be in my book of "perfect gentlemen" Gladly, I think there is some merit in being insulted in the "political" section of Nairaland. Mainly because you can tell that most here have some sort of "first degree". Other areas on Nairaland? You just never know what you might be confronted with--a day laborer or some urban "outdoorsman" . So I am happy to be insulted, as long as it is in the "political" section of Nairaland! |

Re: Bill Gates' Application For Nigerian Visa Was Initially Denied by TCUBE(m): 2:53pm On Oct 13, 2007 |
so? , i dont see anything wrong as long as denying him the visa was based on him not meeting the required , anything from that is just ridiculous. |
Re: Bill Gates' Application For Nigerian Visa Was Initially Denied by Nobody: 7:13pm On Oct 13, 2007 |
The mans' monetary worth is not a secret. I guess Mr. Gates did not show them bank account statements. Filthy corrupt officials, they wanted to see all personal bank account info. . thieves, the lot of them. instead make them advice the man on vaccines to take make im no go die. . them dey fool them selves |
Re: Bill Gates' Application For Nigerian Visa Was Initially Denied by deor03(m): 7:52pm On Oct 13, 2007 |
Please when is Oprah applying for VISA or resident permit |
Re: Bill Gates' Application For Nigerian Visa Was Initially Denied by almondjoy(f): 9:03pm On Oct 13, 2007 |
thresa8: I guess the "bribery" was adequate then. Unfortunately for Billy, he did not compensate for the "inflationary" crisis in Nigeria hence his visa was "initially" denied. I guess he straightened that out and all is now well. Hungry riff raffs! deor03: I think she opted for South Africa! Thank God--She would have been taken hostage by the national "MILITIAS"! in Nigeria |
Re: Bill Gates' Application For Nigerian Visa Was Initially Denied by ulohomuno: 9:03pm On Oct 14, 2007 |
at times i am really surprise about the way we behave in this country. is it inferiority or years of neglect by our leaders that have erode our national pride. bill gate did not fill his form correct and the form was return for him to fill correctly. is that not a recognitation enough? do the immigration officer have to over look due proces because it is bill gate? are you telling me that if achebe or soyinka forget to fill his visa form the us embassy will not denied them the visa? or we have not read on paper how the likes of soyinka has being embarrased at the embassies and/or airports in other countries. how is bill gate different from soyinka or achebe? my heart bleeds when i read some people statement on this thred. it is this inferiority complex that have crept into our employment system- and even the work place. have you ever work into any company front desk with a foreigner even an india and see how they ignore you for them. i was at the airport this morning with a similar problem with a foreigner an india for that matter you need to see how they gave him attention. Have you notice also that even in thesame office- in other to do your work, you pass a document to a co-nigeria worker to process along with a non-black ( what they called expatriate) he or she will tell you drop it i am busy, but watch how he/she will attend to the non-black. " hello mr y. how are u this morning. don't worry drop it, just give me 5 minutes i will process your document" common we need to be proud of our self. we are not as corrupt as we believe nor the worst country on earth. if you are not proud of your identity you are a slave to others who are proud of there identity. |

almondjoy: Apparently your mode of operation is to insult. The way I see it is that you are a small boy and I wont therefore give you the honour of exchanging insults with you. I am very sure if you were to meet me personally, you will hesitate to throw any insult my way. When you start reasoning, I may respond to anything you say |
Re: Bill Gates' Application For Nigerian Visa Was Initially Denied by almondjoy(f): 9:32am On Oct 15, 2007 |
Thank you! Just had to go read your posts and check you out. Could not help but humour myself at the way you insult some personalities here. Do you get personal or what? Anyway, I am not one for "hard feelings". See you around under better circumstances we can agree on. Back to topic please! This is not a personal grudge session between you and I. Take care. |
