Abeg my people, wetin be dis wahala wey don just drop for ground? Na Trump and him people dey add more countries to the list wey go pay bond before dem fit enter United States. Seven other nations just join, chop dey gree make 13 with 11 being African countries. E mean say, plenty people go dey suffer o!

So, last week for Washington, dem quietly add countries like Bhutan, Botswana, Central African Republic, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Namibia, and Turkmenistan to that list. Dis new law don dey run since January 1. And you know wetin e mean? If you from any of these countries, you go need to post bond wey dey range between $5,000 to $15,000 before you fit apply for visa! Chai! No be small change o!

The reason wey dem dey give we say, this bond go help ensure say people no go overstay their visas. But the matter be say, even if you pay this bond, e no mean say visa go automatically land for your hand. If visa no allow you enter, the bond go still return back to you. This one dey make sense small, but e still dey tough for many real travelers dem.

Dis new rule dey join other countries like Mauritania, Sao Tome and Principe, Tanzania, Gambia, Malawi, and Zambia wey don already dey under this heavy requirement since last year August and October. Na wa o! Everybody wey wan enter US now go turn to accountant just to gather that money!

U.S. official don dey defend this bond policy as dem dey claim say, e go help keep the system in order. But, wetin be say, every traveler wey dey apply from these countries go still need to handle in-person interview, dey show all their travels, and even social media histories. E be like say dem dey try to fish out all the bad boys and girls wey go fit spoil market for the rest of us.

No forget say, even when you don get the visa, dem go still make you enter and exit from only certain ports wey dem don select. How far with that, my people? Dis one to dey sound like wahala for travelers, especially for Africa where so many people dey dream to enter America. Abeg, as e be now, make we dey follow up and see wetin go happen next. E fit still change, who know?
