You don't call a naturalized citizen a foreigner...the example in the ukonly applied to people who are born in the uk or who have spent considerable amount of time in the uk to be considered a citizen...so if two britons gives birth to a child in nigeria...he o she is not a foreigner ..also look at the case of the late yeye osun...susan wenger..who came from austria with husband ulie beir ..she got to one of the highest traditional role of a female godess

I quite agree that you don't call a naturalised citizen a foreigner

But who are we deceiving?

In 2013 nigeria granted citizenship to foreigners which include thailand,chinese etc

And so on and so forth, but can the voting population 'welcome' these naturalized citizens into our political arena?

^^^Naturalized or not.....you can't contest for election in Nigeria unless you're a shon of de shoil! Having said that, you do stand a fighting chance if you're from Niger or Chad......just appeal to the Northerners religious and tribal sentiments and Bob's your uncle!

Tinubu, Fashola and Ambode are foreigners to Lagos and they have been winning elections there.
Even Igbo people are now winning election, again, in Lagos.

LeStylo:
Ben Bruce just won a Senatorial ticket in the NASS. He's a naturalised Nigerian. No accidental Nigerian unnaturalized could have won a British MP election.
At least no Nigeria village answers Bruce as a local name.

TheEqualizer:
Ha!
You want them to eat the person alive.
Can a Calabar man contest an election in Abia? Try that and Ngwas will start acting beastly again, eating every human flesh they can lay their hands on.

timawoku:
United kingdom has robust and healthy political system. In recent times, foreigners have been emerging and also winning political seats (including Nigerians). The question now is, can the same happen in Nigeria? Can we accommodate foreigners in our political system in Nigeria?
