UK Visa Bond Is Hostile...Prof Itse Sagay

An expert in constitutional law, Prof. Itse Sagay, has described the  policy as “  hostile and therefore contrary to international diplomacy.”

 He said, “It is evidence of contempt and a clear case of saying ‘we don’t want people from their country and  so let us make it impossible for them to come.

 “How many people can pay N750,000 as deposit which the British Government will keep and probably trade with while the owner cannot touch it. I think we need to respond appropriately by also raising impossible barrier to British people coming into Nigeria  so  that at  the end,  we will see who will lose more.

“I think they are making the mistake of believing we need them more than they need us.  In fact,  it is they who are making more out of Nigeria.

“They have a wrong idea of their importance to us. We are more important to them than they are to us.”
