Nigeria-Michael Jackson Committee of Friends denied US VISAs July 9, 2009

The above picture is from here, but on a more serious note, I just got information that the above organization were denied US Visas. Very unfortunate, isn’t it.

They couldn’t make it to America to attend the celebration of life of the King of Pop last weekend! Your’s truly also got information of a Visa appeal in progress, at least they could make it to the burial.

 

 

p.s: have you observed a physical resemblance between Yar Adua and Michael Jackson?

After digging to a depth of 100 meters last year, Russian scientists found traces of copper wire dating back 1000 years, and came to the conclusion that their ancestors already had telephone network 1000 years ago.

They have concluded that 5000 years ago, their ancestors were already using wireless.
