Out of fear of becoming a burden to the French government. Probably don't have money to pay airfare and hotel bills. Kudos to the minister with the red beret
The Minister may be a misfit, but please, take nothing away from Nigeria Scrabble Federation. We are the most organised of all these federations.
The processes for visa application were done in an orderly and airtight manner. France is just bleeding from too many wounds.

So immigration officers give visas? You don't have to expose your brilliancy recklessly....
Re: Nigerian Scrabble Team - The World Champions - Denied Visa To France by IBATTRAVELS: 10:52am On Aug 26, 2016
Well if they want us to criticize the France embassy, they should be honest enough to tell us the ground on which the refusal was given. I know how different bodies use their capacity to 'sell' visa by adding unqualified participants from which they have collected huge sum of money as part of the selected representative of our nation. Being into travel agency business, such offers are very common. If they have good application, they should reapply and address whatever the embassy found wanting in the first application....

As much as I would love to see em participate in the competition, every country has rules governing immigration. Meet those rules and you will be allowed entry. I am certain they didn't meet the rules and this may be in regards to funding as every country knows that if its not Nigeria politicians, fed sponsored, others have a higher chances of absconding or claiming asylum. Better luck next time as said. Who knows it might be a blessing in disguise, as the Olympic embarrassment might come to mind.

From the way you are sounding, its obvious you don't know what scrabble is and what it takes to win not to talk of been a world champion. You need to grow up. You need to also get a dictionary.

Why picking a fight with me and why getting so upset. Its impossible to be denied a visa without the embassy stating a reason for denial. Please go to VSF office that represent france embassy, meet with the staff and ask if its possible, you will know what i mean. and please if you like to reply this post, do it without using abusive word, please.

Elie the unfortunate part of all this is the reason adduced for the Visa refusal, which is that the applicant did not show enough reason to be in France for the Championship. I had as far back as May when we applied spoke with officials of the French Embassy who assured me. Only one senior player had his visa approved with the same documents.
Visa normally takes 10 days but this took six weeks only to be denied when it is impossible to appeal.
Host need to do something
Dey dey fear. No mind them. E pain them sey na black man from africa win the last one. Not just Africa, Nigeria. The whole world knows thats if you give a Nigerian at least 40% platform of same opportunities a European has... We'll conquer the world double times over.

You deserve a slap even. It's only in this country that something would go wrong between a Nigerian and foreigners and Nigerians without asking questions would blame their own brother. You should support your brother first then ask 'who start fight' later. Thats what patriotism is all about. Mtchwwwww....
