INTERESTING WHEN BILL GATES APPLIED FOR A VISA!
When Bill Gates applied for a visa for a recent trip to Nigeria, his paperwork hit a snag. The Nigerian government required proof that the billionaire chairman of Microsoft (MSFT) would not stay in the country and become a drain on Nigeria's social services. The company helping him with his application, travel document expediter CIBT, obtained a letter from Gates' bank that reassured the Nigerian authorities, and the visa was approved

But itz good it happened, it just shows that he won't be given any slack he's who he is.
Stuck in the throat, that does not show stupidity
If I have to show bank documents when I apply for American Visa then Let Bill Gates show bank documents when he applies for Nigerian visa.
Abeg jo, we are all equal in God's eyes
The only way to get things done quickly at the Nigerian Consulate is to know someone that works there.
Talk about pple with no work ethics.....
"The only way to get things done quickly at the Nigerian Consulate is to know someone that works there."
That is such a terrible lie!
I have applied for a new passport twice at the Nigerian consulate in Ottawa and they were more than professional and gracious to me and processed my request speedily. And I don't know anybody who works there.
What does work ethics have to do with them asking bill gates for bank statement or whatever it is they asked him for.
Anyway, if people are not equal in the eyes of the typical Naija person, I know for sure people are not equal in the eyes of the typical Canadian person. Big deal.
I still think it was okay for the Nigerian Consulate asking Bill Gates for further documents.
I mean if we as Nigerians keep on complaining that people with connections in high places get preferential treatment and we look at that as bad. We should also look at foreign Billionaires getting preferential treatment as bad as well. SO let Bill Gates apply for visa like everybody else and show all the documents required like everybody else.
Look ehn? Na only una wey know Bill Gates!
Plus let him apply properly with proper docs and no one will ask him too many questions. Was the list so long that he could not show common bank documents? ah ahn! That's sloppy on his part! Big guy like him could not do the right thing??
All of you "ass-kissers" if you worked for me and you did not do your work and follow procedure, you go ask Mr Gates for job because I will fire your yanshes. Maybe he would appreciate your lousiness and hire you to carry on your lousiness at his company!
Nonsence and yeyeness!
