Choosing Between Nigerian And US Citizenship by Francis5: 7:51pm On Nov 03, 2014 |
Assuming you have a dual Nigerian and US citizenship. Assuming Nigeria or the US changes the rule and says only one citizenship is allowed every Nigerian-American. Which citizenship would you prefer to hold, Nigerian or the US? Abandoning Nigerian citizenship means you have to travel to Nigeria with a visa and your application could be denied. Abandoning the US citizenship means all that you have labored for to become a US citizen is flushed down the toilet. You may or may not be reverted to a Green Card holder (and let us assume you have no option to revert to a green card) Let the ball roll, let's see your choices and be honest with it, even if for once in your lifetime. Epilogue. I know many Nigerians in Germany who became Germans and had to abandon the Green passport because Germany allows only one citizenship. |

It is a tough choice especially if I cannot get back my old green card. Three scenarios come to my mind: 1. If I have kids who are already citizens, I will take the Nigerian passport and let my kids be US citizens; they need it more than I do. It is all about securing their future. 2. If I am not financially okay, I will take the US citizenship, but if I am rich I will take the Nigerian one. 3. If I have a political ambition, I will take the Nigerian citizenship; it is easier to make it politically in Nigeria than in the US, in addition to all the thieving and looting I can do in Nigeria (yeske ) and walk away scot-free 1 Like |
