According to an article from Gizmodo you may not be alone if you have ever had trouble getting a Visa. Even being a multi-billionaire apparently does not always help.
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.
The Nigerian government initially denied the Microsoft kingpin’s application 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.
Dear Nigeria, he is not just there to collect welfare. The Vista launch did not go that badly.

I think Steve Jobs would be OK…He’s always got “just one more thing”. I wonder if they’d let Linus in though?
