I just hope other countries don't follow this country route, but are people still interested in this US

Other countries could set figures commensurate with their economies...money you'd need to do biz for China isn't what you'd need to do business in the US.

Imagine paying, upfront, $5,000 + $250 (visa integrity fee) + $472 for the actual visa = $5,722 just to visit another country for vacation! Damn. A lot of our people would surely review any plans they had to visit the U.S.

Theflint1:
Most persons going to the US for business most likely have that amount of liquidity to tie down.

Yeah, but what of those who are only visiting?

That's the one that might seem unfair, but considering it's the category that'd have higher rate of visa overstays, I guess that's a strategy for checking that.

The resources of Nigeria is not enough to provide all the free stuffs you want

You get benefits already from govt. Primary secondary education is free. University education is heavily subsidized compared to what other nations around us pay

Bulls

But there is money of BAT to be able to disappear from public eye for weeks using state funds.

Peter Obi said the money used to renovate VP resident could build 4000 health centres across Nigeria, that approx 110 per state.

As we speak BAT is using money saved from fuel subsidy to treat his personal disease

raumdeuter:
It cannot which was why I told you to do the Maths

It's not about maths, it's about competence. The current govt lacks the competence to handle our resources.

You have to be rich to even consider this.

Well, how many years is left for the Orange head to bow out?

PDPGuy:
E don shele.. The actual bond amount could be either $5,000, $10,000, or $15,000 which will be determined solely by the Visa Officer during the visa interview. The pilot program starts on January 21 of this year🙆🏽‍♂️

The amount is only refundable if the traveler
- exits the U.S. before the expiration of their authorized period of stay,
- and also exits the U.S. through certain airports…

Will the bond also be required for those going for study?

Its not enough for him to bow out, there likely has to be a change in the ruling party and a feel for public opinion.

The money from subsidy is what your state governors are using to fund their states. They are getting 3 times the allocation they used to

By the way When Peter Obi was governor how many of these health centers did he build across Anambra. E easy to do chop choo choo

Is the picture here not one of the Health centers in Anambra under Obi?

Maths does not care about sentiments. Your claim of competence or not is a sentimental statement

Use Maths and see the answer

No. Whatever maths you're using to explain why our resources cannot cater for us is irrational.

Na maths we go chop?

Fk Peter Obi. He is not the president.

Let the president (who has actually gone AWOL) perform his duties and stop calling Peter Obi.

We voted for Peter Obi, but oloroburuku Tinubu stop the mandate, and he is calling Peter Obi. He dey kolo?

Maths is universal, 2+2 in China is the same in Gabon. Maths is not sentimental

Show us this National income and divide it by our population. The result now show any country with our result that offer subsidy and free everything

You voted for Peter Obi who couldnt fix the Health centers in Anambra but you are complaining that Tinubu has not fixed all the health centers

Is that not hypocrisy

You are simply saying that the president is incapable of managing our resources. Simple.

Correction: the $250 US visa “integrity fee” is only paid if you’re issued the relevant US visa.

So the initial fees for a typical U.S. B1/B2 visa (before a decision is rendered) is $472 + $5,000
(Or $10,000 or $15,000)

He is managing the resources the best he can. The resources are not enough that is why taxes are neccesary to get more resources

I do not want to go into irrelevant arguments with you about Peter Obi's performance as governor. But for the sake of posterity, do note that Peter Obi was governor of Anambra state over 16 years ago.

When he was governor, Anambra ranked no 1 in Nigeria for the UNDP millennium development goals. A scheme that ranked states according to Human Development index that covers health, education and poverty eradication.

Tinubu is the president now not Obi, tell us what he is doing to improve healthcare, education and poverty eradication and stop calling Obi that was governor 16+ years ago

Someone who cannot manage our oil wants to manage our taxes. You think we have forgotten Alpha Beta Consult?

The UNDP thing didn't capture the clinic that was rotten in that picture? If Obi had done it, then the clinic wont be that bad and Soludo will face other things

You can't vote the useless Obi and now complain about Tinubu wey dey try

The oil money is why you are going to School from primary to Uni for very cheap compared to other nearby companies

Why are you acting ignorant when you're not? After 16 years you have to blame poor maintenance.

If Peter Obi built that clinic, should he continue the maintenance even after leaving office?

Like I said, he was no 1 for education, health and poverty eradication.

I am not going this route with you OK
