Har har. However who said u need to get a visa BEFORE u plan/promote shows? I hope u know for example folks pay school fees, accomodation IN FULL b4 applying for visa?? The only thing u don't do is buy a ticket! So even if ur visa is refused, all costs are refunded by the sch. Same applies here. Wizkid obviously and rightly believed he'd get d visa and dat's why the promo and ticket sales commenced early.

Anyway this is a slap on the face of our young and talented whizkid. He deserves an apology AND a visa, quick-quick!!

Re: Wizkid And Skales Were Denied American Visas In Nigeria by Nobody: 6:58pm On Jun 24, 2011
the problem with this story is that, LESS THAN A YR AGO, he was also denied a visa to perform in the UK. why doesnt his managers/handlers/promoters learn from that Fiasco?!

ElRazur:

This is naija. . . (That is your answer) grin

lol, if they continue like this, no promoter will want to work with his "unlucky with working visa" asss. . . . . . . . unless the problem came from the other side aka tour promoter not accredited for such event.

Lol of course the promoter isnt accredited! i dont even think theres such thing as an accredited promoter! yet weve been having hundreds of artists from nigeria flock in and out and even perform in high end venues! This particular event was probably going to be a sellout. It may just be because alot of people from nigeria get the same visa and wizkid isnt that well known, abroad anyways.
Re: Wizkid And Skales Were Denied American Visas In Nigeria by Nobody: 7:22pm On Jun 24, 2011
^^i dont know about the US but you need to have a legit touring company/club etc to even THINK of getting an artist a working visa in Europe. then you need to bring the adequate paperwork such as venue rental agreement, gov permit for such event etc etc etc
so YES, many have done it in the past but maybe they werent all legit!

as someone said earlier, many TOP artist get their application refused too, Lil Wayne was denied a European visa after they had started selling tickets for his European tour. . . . . . . . . .but thats because of his criminal past.

it means they are not important, thats why they were refused the visa, what kind of music are they going there to play that america never heard of its like selling there their own market to them, and also they are not up to american standard in music, there is too many ganstas already in america they dont need more grin grin grin grin besides i ve never heard of these people they are not that famous grin grin grin grin grin grin

you sir, are making NO SENSE at all. it doesnt matter WHAT music they are going to play OR if they are even famous. a promoter can bring whichever artist he pleases and that has got nothing to do with the American gov. or the standard of music in the US.

so because YOU dont know an artist so they shouldnt get a visa to perform?! as Dayokanu rightly said: AXE YOUR MOMMY!!!!!!!

These musicians should get a visa before telling promoters that they are coming. Before this Wizkid deal, it was Flavour Nabania just this past April of 2011. Flavour's group cancelled the entire US tour because of a visa issue just 6-7 days before it was to start. Instead, he went to Cameroon to perform lol. Wizkid cancelled his Washington DC show a mere two days before.

The promoters that were doing this show have been increasing their prices. I believe every weekend they increase ticket prices, so I bought my own very early lol. Because he believed he would get a visa doesn't mean he should give the okay for promo and ticket sales. He isn't God, anything can happen at the embassy lol. Until they have the approval, they shouldn't say anything. Several people have purchased plane tickets and those cannot be refunded, considering most of them buy cheaper, uninsured, flights. Weekend and money wasted for them.

Nigerians are their k-leg way of doing business. I find it shameful embarassed

i highly doubt it- i know alot performances go on in the US and im very sure the promoters have nothing- they probably dont even have visa!lol they might not always come on working visas- they may come on visiting. and when we used to host parties even the artists from cote d'ivoire never had problems- they have entourages of like 50 people and only perform to small crowds.
Re: Wizkid And Skales Were Denied American Visas In Nigeria by Nobody: 12:48am On Jun 25, 2011
^^thats the big difference, you cant expect artists such as Whizkid to go to the states and perform in this multiple dates tour on a tourist visa. he HAD to get a working visa!
yes, many do without one but thats the gamble some promoter/artists are willing to take. . . . . . . . . .but then again, looking at this story, i understand why.

Is such a gamble worth it? Once they're caught performing on a tourist visa, they're banned from the US lol.

B4 Whizkid and his manager are condemned, how about those bitches in the US embassy that deny people Visas for no just reasons. I know of an India woman and one other fat bitch that derives pleasure in denying people visas even when all documents are intact. Cudn't he have fallen victim?
Re: Wizkid And Skales Were Denied American Visas In Nigeria by queensmith: 11:05am On Jun 25, 2011
^^ thts why its important to read all the information they give you an study the facts outright- if you are denied visa for no reason - CHALLENEGE IT!

you can claim its a racial attack! I'm sure they take advantage of the fact most people are very ignorant. Noone is above doing that, not even the US government.
