Scrabble World Champion Wellington Jighere denied travel visa by French Embassy to World Championship in Lille

Wellington Jighere, the reigning world champion of Scrabble has been denied travel visa to represent Nigeria at World Championships in Lille, France.  He shared this photo on social media today wishing his teammates luck.
This is to wish everyone participating in this year's MSI World Scrabble Championships the best of luck since I and my Nigerian compatriots were refused visas. Yes, you heard me right! The number one Scrabble playing nation on earth was refused visas to enable her contingent participate at a Scrabble event. 
 I guess some folk somewhere need to be better at their job next time. May the best player win!
Wellington is the reigning world champion yet he was denied visa by the French embassy.  The tournament is in France and they have a contestant at the competition, do you smell anything fishy??

      Vous n'etes que d3s inconscients, n3 savez vous pas que tout ce que fait votre president c'est dans votre interet et celui du pays en general? Buhari fait d3 son mieux car celui ci a herite un pays en ruine muni d'un peuple tres corrompu et insouciant. En conclusion je vous dirai que Buhari est une benediction pour le Nigeria et le temps nous le dira.

    Nothing fishy Linda and stop this your childish conspiracy theory. He obviously didn't meet some of the criteria for visa.

    It's left for the organisers to make a case for him.

    Linda the pollutant. Must you always smell between the legs? Nothing fishy about not applying in time or having incomplete documentation. Let's improve all round.

    Linda the only thing fishy here is your mentality sometimes, you behave as if you don't know what's involved in applying for a visa and traveling abroad, definitely he didn't meet the visa requirements, if he had met them the embassy would have issued him a visa. I've been applying for visas for years and never been refused, I also help friends and family apply for visas cos most people think visa application is rocket science and as you know we Nigerians don't like taking time out to read and most visa refusals don't meet the requirements, oyibos are not blacks, no mago mago in their visa application, once you meet the requirements they will issue you your visa straight up
