nairalanduseles:If you say so, last time I checked the citizenship thing followed the pop's line. And as someone who's actually got dual citizenship via the 10 years thing, I guess I really know nothing. EDIT: https://www.gov.uk/long-residence Random note: the only thing they appear to have changed in the wording is that they've removed "or illegally" after legally. I guess they really are closing all the loopholes. 1 Like

Ibime:See, this fella right here explained himself like a civilised individual unlike the other person. I said the marriage thing because it was easier to use paternal citizenship to get things done, and I didn't want to write story of life. Granted, it's been a while since I've read up on that side of things. So, I stand corrected, thanks for the correction. 3 Likes |

You do not need a Nigerian passport to board when traveling out of Nigeria with British passport. You need Nigerian passport when you are returning to Nigeria. It's advisable for you to have your Nigerian passport, in case you need to visit Nigeria. If you don't want Nigerian passport when visiting Nigeria, you will obtain Nigerian visa on your British passport. |

It is possible,it only takes a while for them to review your claim even if you have lost your birth certificate or your parents are dead.Even an authenticated DNA from a dead British parent especially from a dead father(if you were born by a British dad and a non birtish mum)can get you a British passport posted to you in Nigeria. jrusky: |

You are not absoluty correct.A British passport can be posted to you from anywhere in the world.It takes a maximum of 6months to process that and could be as short as 3 weeks in some countries like US,Australia and New Zealand where they have accurate database. Rubicon67: |

danberg: Unless you do not plan to return to Nigeria then you don’t need that piece of crap document. However, you need it to leave the country to prove you were not living here illegally else they’ll demand you show your CERPAC or pay a fine. If you plan on returning, then you need a valid Nigerian passport else you’ll face hell at our embassy in London trying to get a visa back to Nigeria. |

Rubicon67: Biometric capture can be done from the passport photograph and that is why they insist on a specific format. You do not necessarily have to be present But I agree that his case is exceptional!! I had a baby passport in 1984 which expired while we were in Nigeria. We tried to renew in Abuja in 2003 and it was a hellish task!! They asked for rent documents, train tickets and any documentary evidence to prove we were in the UK at the of birth. Asked for our growing up pictures and even said DNA test. After a year, I just did a right of abode which only required a birth certificate, traveled, applied for the passport by post in the UK and got my passport in 3 weeks. So how the OP got his posted to Nigeria first time is really exceptional and a mystery |

That law has been amended in 2016.It is not a requirement anymore for both parents to be married. Especially that aspect of the father which was quite discrimanatory and dividing families.Now it is not only through the mother alone that one can be granted citizenship if parents are both unmarried. cao: |

Re: First-time Trip To UK With UK Passport: Please Advise! by wayodude(m): 6:22am On Jul 23, 2019 |
nairalanduseles: The point the immigration officer was trying to make was that I had to prove I had entered and had been in Nigeria legally. The only way to do this would have been to tender a Nigerian passport or a Nigerian visa in my British passport. I could do neither. Ultimately I think the officials at the airport can apply discretion and let you through but you will be at their mercy. You were lucky to have left without any hassle. It's cool though, no one has to believe a random story on nairaland. 1 Like |

Naijamagician: If one of your parents (I think) was a citizen at the time your were born then you will have been British by birth. If not then I don't think being born in England by foreign parents gives your any rights at all. My cousin's were born in London in 1986 and 1990 and when they studied in England they needed student visas and had to pay international student fees. |
