imagine a canadian or brazilian citizen after spending 25 years in Nigeria. married a Nigerian woman get naturalized and lives most times in nigeria decides to vie for an election.do you think he can win an election in nigeria.e.g house of representative

When Igbos are yet to smell the presidency?

[b]election [/b]im not saying  presidency.polly from councilor to senate

If he knows how to rig, steal ballot boxes, settle thugs, break bottle, then he's likely to win a councilorship post

I read a Lebanese tried that once in the last election.(2007) in Northern Nigeria.

Depends on the country of origin but funny enough I actually don't think it is that difficult to be honest. A foreigner might be perceived on a more neutral plane and might not be a victim of the level of ethnic bigotry that all the current three major candidates face. And trust Nigerians, the thinking might be, maybe he/she would be able to make Nigeria like their country of origin (if it is a developed one). When I saw the question on the thread I wasn't thinking of how impossible such a scenario would be, but rather how possible it actually seems if such a case were to arise. You must remember though that the president by law cannot have dual citizenship.
