My dear sister, your chances are greater and higher as a South African.

I am a patriotic Nigerian but the honest truth I must spill to you...

Keep being a Nigerian at heart though...

Peace and good luck...

You are of Nigerian-South African parentage.

So, to the best of my knowledge, I would recommend filling 'Nigeria-South Africa'.

If it's a local package, just say u are Nigerian, no Biggie.....and if u don't have any form of identificatio to show...u can resolve that by entering Nigerian immigration or driver's licence office..so incase u wanna work in Nigeria for a standard company, u won't need work permit wahala

but I beg u, pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeese.....use Ur South African passport and citizenship for international transaction....but if asked if u are dual as some forms asks ..u can reveal on paper that u are part Nigerian..u never can tell u can need ur Nigerian citizenship someday.....

Normally there's a box to tick for 'others'.
If it's something where one should write, just indicate 'South African-Nigerian'.
I believe in both countries the child is from where the father hails.

If you know what is good for you, face RSA. I have very good friends from SA in my university, particularly from Durban area and I see how nice the government treats them and spoils them at the embassy. My Nigerian government barely knows I exist. Especially anything international, it's better you identify as South African.

Everywhere you go, please be SA. I'm dead serious, not because I'm trying to make Nigeria look bad but in terms of opportunities and everything you'd have an advantage.
It's just the truth.
