 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.

NETFLIX TO ALLOW USERS TO CREATE AND SHARE CLIPS ON MOBILE. (PHOTO)



Netflix to allow users to create and share clips on mobile


Netflix on Wednesday unveiled an update to its “Moments” feature, giving mobile users the ability to select start and end points on clips to save and share with others. Originally launched last year, the feature lets viewers highlight favorite scenes from shows and share them directly from the app.

The update coincides with the release of the second part of season 2 of the hit series “Wednesday.” Users can now use a “clip” option to adjust segment length, with the clipped videos saved to the “My Netflix” tab for easy rewatching or sharing. The series, a modern take on “The Addams Family,” gained widespread attention last season when a dance scene featuring Wednesday went viral, becoming one of the show’s most recognized moments. With more than 252 million views, “Wednesday” is Netflix’s most popular series to date.

This new feature is part of a broader effort by Netflix to refresh its platform, including a redesigned homepage and a vertical video feed on mobile reminiscent of TikTok. The company has also introduced initiatives like a lower-cost ad-supported plan and a crackdown on password sharing to strengthen its business model following a period of stagnation in 2022. While Netflix no longer discloses subscription numbers regularly, it reported more than 300 million paid members as of January.
