You may not have given adequate thought to citizenship in the Nigerian context. Let's x-ray who a citizen should be and whether Nigeria as a country has produced any. A citizen is a person who, by place of birth, nationality of one or both parents, or naturalization is granted full rights and responsibilities as a member of a nation or political community (definition from https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/citizen) .

Citizenship from the foregoing is built only on full rights. That is to say, you are only a citizen when you have enjoyed or have access to the full rights ascribed to citizens in the constitution of the country.

List of Fundamental Human Rights:
The fundamental human rights contained in the constitution of Nigeria are the Right to Life, the Right to Dignity of Human Person, the Right to Personal Liberty, the Right to Fair Hearing, the Right to Private and Family Life, the Right to Freedom of Thought, Conscience and Religion, the Right to Freedom of Expression and the Press, the Rights to Peaceful Assembly and Association, the Right to Freedom of Movement, the Right to Freedom from Discrimination and then, the Right to Acquire and Own Immovable Property anywhere in Nigeria.

These rights should never be violated by any person, including law enforcement agencies or agents in any part of Nigeria. Consequently, where there is a violation or even a mere attempted violation of a fundamental human right, the victim and any other person on behalf of the victim, can seek justice against the violator. Where there is a violation of any fundamental human rights or a threat to such rights, the court to approach is a State High Court or the Federal High Court. It is easy and fast to get a judgment in such cases because they are urgently treated. Just engage the services of a good lawyer.

So, can anyone say with all sincerity he/she is a bonafide citizen of Nigeria that has enjoyed these rights? If No, then the country has not produced citizens that should grow to patriots.
