I'm very sure this failure to participate has a direct connection to the retárd who is sports minister and the fellow retárd President that made him minister.

If you do not agree with someones opinion, the 'grown up' thing to do is present your own and not instantly stereotype somebody you do not know. For all we know, i might be your uncle and for the record i was only joking hence the smileys....

please this is not a laughing matter. The team in question went to world scrabble championship and came back as world champion,they didn't run away then,they came back.Is it just an event(not world championship)that they wont come back ? And for your information,that guy you tried to insult is the current(still reighning) world scrabble champion. World !!!. Can you beat that ? As far as scrabble is concerned,he is an authority. So respect that. Can you say same to Usain Bolt when he talks about athletics ?

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.

sheriff
Please show me where I insulted you in that post??

And yes my guy it's possible to deny Visa on flimsy discretionary grounds because honestly that's the power of the embassy.

I'm sure if it was an Asian world champion team or some world champion team from middle east, the french would have made concessions to enable them to participate. But like I've always argued Nigerians are cheatable because people who say they are Nigerians (i don't believe they are Nigerians) always support the injustices perpetrated against Nigerians by outsiders. Read through the posts here for example and you'll see most support the French or give the action of the French justification.

Like a poster suggested on the first page, they the french simply didn't want Nigeria to participate and win. Someone suggested that it was only a minor competition. Ha, ha, whites look on nothing as too small.
Re: Nigerian Scrabble Team - The World Champions - Denied Visa To France by claremont(m): 12:30pm On Aug 26, 2016
They don't want you in their country, and they don't have to give a reason why a visa is rejected. A visa is a privilege, not a right. You can meet all the paper requirements and still get denied without reason. A world champion in a sport has never been a requirement to grant a visa, so that's a moot point. Crying about visa denial on social media is very childish, and clearly shows desperation.

Great point. Sentimental Nigerians taking for granted the need to do things right.

A country without good reputation.

But unfortunately the government lacks the know how of what needed to be done to move the country forward.

APC government = failure.

Thanks. Nigerians are the most self hating, unpatriotic people on the face of the earth. If this were to happen to any other country, their people would be up in arms in online protests etc. But not these stupid, ignorant imbeciles here with no sense of dignity and a disturbing tendency to fall down in worship of any white face or country showing them the least attention, including negative attention, as in this case. Oh.. and the global headquarters of skin bleaching too. Worthless, soul-less, stupid, lost people.

He can never talk to Usain Bolt like that because Bolt isn't a Nigerian. If you are a Nigerian, these posters consider you less worthy than other nationals. They respect foreigners, but hate and disrespect their own people. There is a curse that was placed on them to be that way.

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....

SCRABBLEBOARD:
Sulaiman Garba Gora, The Nigeria Scrabble FEderation President wrote:
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
Buhari do something oh...in koker's voice

the problem I have with this post is not the public vomit the writer poured out but that 26 people thought it made sense!

it just reminds people who still claim this dispensation is still on the course for change and that arresting a man for naming a dog is right.....i can go on and on but why waste my time?
Re: Nigerian Scrabble Team - The World Champions - Denied Visa To France by Nobody: 3:31pm On Aug 26, 2016
FRANCE?


HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy

Le francais mon amis. C'est tres grave.

That is one of the worst countries on earth to want to go to. And to think that I successfully stayed there for a two-year program under a masters degree scholarship surprises me. It was partly due to the fact that, I decided to hold my head high, demand what is rightfully mine and I did not look at their faces. I call them ''British Wannabe''. They will swindle you, and go on to cry foul when you do the same to them. They complain about everything. Even when it is clearly their fault, they will remain grumpy. cheesy cheesy cheesy The French.

They are one of the MOST RACIST IN EUROPE. The problem with theirs is they are so clever at hiding and concealing it. They will not reflect certain data in their census. For instance, race and economic power, or race and income levels. It is a taboo in France. Meanwhile the system is so bad and unfavorable to other races. A country where blacks are only good at being supermarket security personnel and cleaners. Even the educational system is a sham. Nothing was organised. No good schedule.

As for their VISA system, just know that NIGERIA IS A MILKING GROUND FOR FUNDS. GO TO VFS IN LEKKI AND SEE HOW NIGERIANS APPLY AND THEN IMAGINE WHAT THE FRENCH EMBASSY MAKES IN MONETARY TERMS. They are not straight forward. As a matter of fact, for a while, they did not put up all the requirements for a VISA. For instance having the attestation d'accueil was not on their Nigerian website. But they were rejecting applications on this ground.They are known for not conducting interviews and lumping up their reasons for visa refusal under 8 to 9 points and ticking anyone they think best suits them for refusal.

But then again, is it their fault? Nope. If we made ourselves get some value. If we behaved well, developed our country and sincere in our dealings would they have rejected us? Did they reject those representing the USA? Or Germany? Or Holland? Let us make our country great. Great in name, great in development, great in attitude, great in positive things. Perhaps then, we might host the scrabble championship and also reject the French Visa Applications for their participants. smiley
