Local laws are binding on all local entities, while international lawstudents are binding on all nations and governments that are treaty holders, commonwealth, UN, AU etc.
Now we shouldn't eveneed go far. Jada and Adamawa are constitutionally listed LGA and state respectively. So Atiku is Nigerian citizen by birth. Case closed!

When did international laws start superceding local laws ?

loooolz Atiku is a Cameronian from Adamawa...hehehehe this Nigeria funny no be small

And he has Nigerian Passport. Hahaahaa laugh wan kill me here

DavidEsq:

A vice president is not elected. He is simply a running mate. He doesn't win or lose an election; he only inherits/benefits a win or a loss of the actual candidate. That is why he is not sued by the losing candidate when his principal wins. When Buhari lost the polls to Goodluck, did u see Buhari joining Namadi Sambo in the case? Heck no!

Do you know that Atiku is a Nigerian immediately he was issued a Nigerian International Passport. Once he provides that nothing makes him a foreigner in Nigeria.

This is what our constitution states about citizenship.there is nothing like plebiscite here.those that joined nigeria from the camerouns were not legally incorporated automatically into the country.they should have officially naturalized but didnt do so.the apc team is deadly

From the day Nigerian International Passport was issued to him that was the day he became officially a Nigerian by law. None Citizen don't hold passport.

DimIsaac10:
So you mean a former Democratically elected Vice president is not a Nigerian again?/.... Nawaoooooo.

anything is possible in the zoo.
even the story jubril could be true

Obama shouldn't have ruled US naa

Bennethanderson:
Obama shouldn't have ruled US naa

Barrack Obama was born on US soil (Hawwaii, IIRC) period. Donald Trump with his team was insinuating and insisting that Obama, though a US citizen, was not born on US soil and could therefore not be President of the US if the US Constitution was to be followed. Obama thereafter released his birth certificate to prove he was indeed born on US soil; that silenced the Trump team - forever. Capiche?

Lolz

I wonder if this story is true. In fact, if it is true l begin to doubt the essence of our education. Can somebody tell me what is logical and sound in the context of this discourse. We are talking about stolen mandate you are arguing above the identity of the flag bearer. In logic, how sound and reasonable is this for God's sake? Must we talk when we are bereaved of sound reasoning and we are beaten to a corner? Why didn't they go to court to stop him before the election? Oh! I am grieved to the bone. So he was a Nigerian when he was in APC? He was not a Cameroonian when he was Adamawa's governor and later the vice president of great nation called Nigeria? Now that he comes forward to reclaim his kidnapped mandate he becomes a foreigner. Pleaseee let us fear God and remember six feet. I weep, not for the country, but for those who are bent on subverting the will of the masses. Why, why and why? Must common man not live? Remember, you will account for all your deeds and misdeeds one day. The Price is going to be grievous. Let's all think twice before we talk or write anything simply because of ' I must eat'. God bless my country. Good morning.

You are always in a hurry so you miss the details. I don't Know how sound you are academically, but you will lose a lot of marks just by this your haste.

Birth! Have you expanded the birth requirement and superimpose that with Atiku's genealogy maternal and paternal?

"The Vice President of Nigeria is the second-in-command to the President of Nigeria in the Government of Nigeria. Officially styled Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, the Vice President is elected alongside the President in national elections. The office is currently held by Yemi Osinbajo."

Congratulations

The Oracle Abdul Mahmud haff vex. Read him:

The claim about Atiku being a non-Nigerian is pretty silly. Only those who have no sense of history make such a silly claim. I once addressed this issue and I don't intend to address it here again, beyond stating the obvious implications of the ahistorical and unconstitutional claim, as follows:

1) if you're are anywhere from the southern tips of the highlands of Taraba, and Adamawa, including Michika and the surrounding communities, YOU ARE NOT A NIGERIAN;

2) If you are from southern Borno, including the historical Dikwa Emirate, and anywhere extending far deep into Yobe , YOU ARE NOT A NIGERIAN;

3) If you are an indigene of any of the places referred to above and you voted in any of the towns stated above, YOUR VOTE IS VOID;

4) If you are from any of the 23 LGAs that are parts of Borno state, YOU ARE AN ALIEN because your community, indigenous to Northern Cameroons, only joined Nigeria following the February 1961 plebiscite.

We can't all be equally yoked to the stupidity of those who make such horrendous claim, so we must stick to the historical and constitutional truths:

a) The people of northern Cameroons were never part of the Republic of Cameroun. Never. They were until 1961 trusteeship subjects of the UN.

b) The people of northern Cameroons are citizens of Nigeria by virtue of Section 10 of the 1963 Republican Constitution- Special Provisions on Northern Cameroons;

c) That communities in Taraba, Yobe and Borno are pre-colonial communities whose existence predates the European scramble for Africa. Take Dikwa in Borno for example that has existed for almost a century, but which came under Arab-Sudanese, later German and British controls, and subsequently part of Northern Cameroons till it joined Nigeria in 1961, via a referendum.

So you know: the people of Southern Cameroons, AKA Republic of Ambazonia, are today fighting for their independence and I hope the stupidity of a few will not force communities of northern Cameroons- now parts of Taraba, Borno and Yobe - to renew the historical agitation for the independence of northern Cameroons.

To be fore-warned...

Which ever way, he is a citizen once he can present his valid national ID card or International Passport. He has no question to answer, his ID will answer it for him. No one has the right to question him if has ID that says he is a Nigerian and there is no second ID proving that he is from another country.

Custom officer, vice president. Nigeria I go die o!

Anything bad is Nigeria. nothing good to write home!

Even PMB is not a Nigerian but from Marahdi in Niger Republic. Recall his brothers from Niger including two governors were in his campaign train.
