Should Nigeria Start Giving Citizenships To Foreigners To Boost Our Economy? by Charleys: 11:48am On Jan 08, 2020
Ghana is doing it

Gabon did it with Ludacris and Samuel Jackson

In May 2019, comedian and actress Tiffany Haddish travelled to Eritrea where she gained the country's citizenship.
She was criticised by some for appearing to endorse Eritrea's totalitarian government.
And last November, Ghana held a mass ceremony in which 126 African-Americans and Afro-Caribbeans took Ghanaian nationality as part of the country's "Year of Return" marking 400 years since the arrival of the first enslaved Africans in North America.


Is Nigeria missing out on these opportunities of giving citizenships to other Nationals?

The Federal Government announced something like this but I've not checked it's content yet.

This here is a link to Ludacris posting a video where he and his family acquired Gabonese passport

Most black Africans consider themselves as second class citizens due to racism and a little marginalization.

Imagine will Smith with Nigerian passport showcasing it to the world.

yes! we should consider it. The citizenship should be given to those willing to invest a certain amount of money into the economy, which would create more jobs for we the original citizens of the country.
Re: Should Nigeria Start Giving Citizenships To Foreigners To Boost Our Economy? by Charleys: 12:02pm On Jan 08, 2020
This citizenship thing will also benefit herdsmen from all over the world but the positives outweigh the negatives

It depends on who the country chooses to give citizenship.

Most Foreiners wouldn't want a Nigerian citizenship. There's much better countries to pick from that allow dual citizenship and offer better tax incentives. If those issues aren't changed dont expect many to pick nigeria second passport option.

You guys can look up nomad capitalists for videos and articles on topic.

Nigeria gives foreigners Citizenship every year, through policy of naturalisation.
Go to Kaduna and especially kano and see many Lebanese that have been granted nigerian citizenship officially
