Bill Gates’ visa application for Nigeria was rejected by its government initially. They wanted Gates to show proof that he would not reside in Nigeria indefinitely and cause a strain on Government’s services.

Bill Gates was recently visiting Africa, probably for his Gates Foundation charities, wanted to travel to Nigeria. He needed a visa from Nigerian Government, so when he applied for the visa, Nigeria denied him. The Nigerian government required proof that the Bill Gates would not stay in the country for a long time and become a burden to Nigeria’s social services and immigration.

Nigeria because of its oil wealth, many from other African countries immigrate illegally, so the Nigerian governement required assurances from Bill Gates that he will not be in the country for long.

A travel document expediter CIBT helped the billionaire Bill Gates overcome the hurdle by helping him with his application, obtained a letter from Gates’ bank that reassured the Nigerian authorities, who later approved his visa.{div width:200|height:90|float:left}{module Inside Advert 200×90|none}{/div}

Gizmodo.com writer says his holiday plans to Nigeria goes down the drain, if Gates has problems getting into Nigeria, he has absolutely no chance. No, not even with a Gizmodo email account as collateral—shocking.

I don’t know where the Nigerian government got the idea that Gates is going to stay in Nigeria for long; it must have been embarrassing for Gates. At least we have to admire Nigerian officials they didn’t care who the person was and just followed the government procedures.

Five Nigerian men and one Zambia man are due to appear in a court in South Africa accused of impersonating doctors and endangering people’s lives.

Special police investigators say they are believed to be part of a syndicate.

The men are alleged to have been running at least six private practices in at least three provinces.

CSI Africa, a private investigation firm, says the medical profession is one of the most targeted by fraudsters in South Africa.

According to its research, fake qualifications run at between 15% and 18% across various professions in the country.

The five Nigerian men are due to appear in the Middleburg Magistrates court in Mpumalanga province along with two qualified Nigerian doctors who are alleged to have allowed their medical numbers to be used to register more practices.

South Africa’s Board of Health Care Funders (BHCF), a medical lobby group, has said it is concerned that thousands of people may have been misdiagnosed by the suspects.

The authorities are also investigating reports that up to 17 other people suspected of being fake doctors have been treating patients in government and private hospitals.

Last week, a man who claimed to be a doctor was arrested after the woman he performed a caesarean section on died in the Eastern Cape province.
