What To Do With My Nigerian Passport? by Kokscity(m): 1:03am On Feb 07, 2006
I recently became a US Citizen, and as many of you know, i am big on the US. I am wondering what to do with my Nigerian Passport. Hell, it has been a challenge travelling with it around the world, for the last ten years. I need suggestions on what to do with the boring green passport,especially now that i have gone "Blue". Can i donate it? Frame it or Just straight up burn it? Or maybe keep it as a memorabilia?

Kokscity is Proud to be American!

Re: What To Do With My Nigerian Passport? by Seun(m): 11:25am On Feb 07, 2006
Koscity is not confused, he is "proud to be American" and he wants us to envy him. Nothing bad about that! smiley

@Hotstepper

Good points, but if you read my post, you will know that i do not have anything to do with a Nigerian Passport. I am a die hard Fan of the USA. And when i swore in, they whole USCIS office knew i was proud to be an American. My point is i do not want dual citizenship and if i have to go home, i will get a visa. I will rather die American, than carry two passports while travelling. This ain't no joke. Infact i am looking to Join the Marines or US Army soon.(If i can pass boot camp). There is no sentiments here people i just need to know what i should do with that green passport. Please more suggestions. Maybe i can return it to the Nigerian embassy in NYC?
@Debanjee
Trust me i am not Posing for you or anyone else.You do not have anything to gain or lose.Read my previous threads from my profile, and you will see why i am doing what i am doing.
Kokscity will continue to Live free or die!!!!!

Dear Sir,

                                   APPLICATION FOR A GREEN PASSPORT

Sir, I humbly write to apply for your green passport with reference to your advert on Nairaland forum on the 7th of February, 2006.

I am a health young Nigerian who haven't seen a green passport before.

I promise to do my best to make use of this passport.

I shall be very glad if my request is granted.

                                                                                                   Thanks,
                                                                                                   Yours Faithfully,
                                                                                                   John Terry

@Terry

I am not yet a marine, I said i am going to see if i can join them or the US Army. I also will have to turn down your application, because sounds like you might have bad intentions and i smell fraud. But consider your request denied!

yes, "mocha" is coffee, arabian I beleive. It's also another way of refering to "dark brown". So Mochafella == Dark Brown Fellow.

Keep the passport, such valuable documents should not be tossed, except it is necessary. Besides, "once an immigrant, always an immigrant" especially if you are 1st generation. Keeping it is not a reflection on your love/hate for your new/old nationality, I see it as a matter of practicality. If anything, you can show your grand-kids when you have them.

That is a great point. Thanks Bro!

I have one more day, before i make a decision on my Nigerian Passport. If you have any ideas please post.

Thanks
Re: What To Do With My Nigerian Passport? by Kokscity(m): 5:04pm On Feb 28, 2006
@Topic

Thanks for all your contributions people. I will take Mocahfella's advice, and keep it as a historic document. I am a first generation American, and therefore when or if i ever have kids, i want them to know my journey, and some of their history. Thanks Mocha!

Original Americans knows themselves, but "being what you are is the best".

Go and ask John Fashanu: British/Nigeria
Linford Christie : British/Jamaica

Even our own Harry Akande will have story to tell you.
