 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. According to the U.S. Department of State, the initiative is designed to bolster compliance with local immigration laws and drastically reduce visa overstay rates.

 Atiku’s Aide Slams Keyamo Over Coat of Arms Controversy, Urges Resignation


Paul Ibe, Special Adviser on Media to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has called for the resignation of the Minister of Aviation, Festus Keyamo, accusing him of sycophancy and playing to the gallery. The demand follows Keyamo’s criticism of Atiku’s use of Nigeria’s Coat of Arms in a letter announcing his resignation from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Wednesday, July 16, 2025.


In a statement on Thursday, Ibe dismissed Keyamo’s allegation of impersonation, emphasizing Atiku’s stature as a former Vice President and his contributions to Nigeria’s democracy. “Where was Keyamo when Atiku Abubakar was in the frontline battling the military and, with other compatriots, able to get them out?” Ibe said. “He is just playing to the gallery. Sycophancy is the end game.”


Ibe further challenged Keyamo’s claims, stating, “Nobody is impersonating anybody. Atiku Abubakar is a former Vice President. That is known. I don’t want to dignify him (Keyamo). He can go to court if he wants to.” The exchange highlights escalating political tensions following Atiku’s exit from the PDP, as debates over protocol and political motives intensify ahead of the 2027 elections.
