Worried he may be a drain on Social Services.

This is probably the funniest thing I've heard in a while.

Bill Gates recently applied for a visa to visit Nigeria, but there was some issues.  Apparently, Nigeria needed proof that the richest man in the world wouldn't be collecting any form of social services money.

In the end, Nigeria wouldn't budge until it received a a certified letter from Gates' bank affirming that he was financially independent.

If it's this tough for Bill to get into Nigeria, the rest of us don't stand a chance.

By the way, Microsoft's revenues equal close to 30% of Nigeria's GDP.

According to Forbes, Bill Gates currently holds a net worth of $59 billion.
