 U.S Finalizes $20,000 Visa Bond Policy Affecting Nigeria and 49 Other Nations The United States government has officially formalized its visa bond policy, making it a permanent measure that could require travelers from 50 designated countries, including Nigeria, to pay a refundable bond of up to $20,000 before receiving certain visas. First introduced as a pilot scheme in 2025, the policy targets applicants seeking B1 and B2 visas, which are designated for business and tourism.

 Kate Henshaw warns against surrogacy risks, calls for protection

 

Actress Kate Henshaw has expressed concerns about surrogacy, highlighting the potential exploitation of financially vulnerable individuals.

In an interview on News Central, Henshaw emphasised the need for robust laws and regulations to protect surrogates’ rights and well-being.

Henshaw noted that surrogacy should be approached with caution, considering the emotional and physical risks involved.

She called for stricter laws in Nigeria to govern surrogacy arrangements, prioritising the health and safety of all parties involved.

She said, “Surrogacy is a means to exploit people who are not financially capable, you just pay them as they have a child for me. But then what will, what will make you want to look after them? Are you bound under any laws or legal framework to make sure that they are taken care of before and after they deliver the baby for you?

“What are the documents that are signed? There’s just so much around it. Surrogacy is a process of giving hope to those who cannot have or have medical complications and want to bring forth a child.

“It shouldn’t be something to be done lightly, there are lots of emotions attached to carrying a child, apart from the changes in the body. There are mental changes. Women, there’s so much, they can die, you know? So it shouldn’t be something to be just thought of lightly.

“I hope Nigeria rises to me. I hope we have laws that will work and not be suggestions, like you always say”.
