 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.

FIREWORKS FATALLY INJURE 13-YEAR-OLD BOY IN HEAD IN THE U. S. (PHOTO).


 Fireworks fatally injure 13-year-old boy in head

A 13-year-old boy in Oklahoma died on Labor Day after being struck in the head by a firework.

The incident occurred Monday evening at Sandy Park Apartments in West Tulsa, near West 11th Place and South 61st West Avenue. Witnesses said a group of boys were setting off fireworks, some of which ignited a small patch of grass at the south edge of the property.

Police reported that the boy was holding a mortar-style firework with the tube facing his head when it ignited. Emergency responders from the Tulsa Fire Department attempted life-saving measures, and the teen was rushed to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead shortly after arrival.

A 2022 survey of more than 2,000 parents of children ages 3-18 found that many fail to take adequate precautions to prevent firework injuries. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission noted that firework-related injuries and deaths in the U.S. had risen roughly 25% over the 15 years leading up to 2022.
