If You Adopt Foreign Citizenship You Are No Longer Nigerian! by shango(m): 6:08pm On Aug 15, 2007
I mean I am seeing a few threads in here talking about Nigerians in Diaspora and how they bad mouth Nigeria. And it is sad because most Naija people in Diaspora have actually become British or American citizens. Such an act should automatically disqualify you for even criticizing your home country. Its one thing to work and live in another country but once you take up citizenship there you should not even be considered a Nigerian anymore. When Italians and Polish and Greeks moved en masse to the USA in the early 19th century once they became citizens they became AMERICANS. An Italian American is an American of Italian Descent. He is no longer an ITALIAN. You do not see Italians making comments about Italians in Italy or Italy. Why? Because they have adopted a new country so their focus is and should be on their newly adopted country.

Its one thing to have been forced out of Africa through slavery for example or warfare or conflict and you are looking to reconnect with your motherland. But to voluntarily leave and take up citizenship elsewhere then start talking about your abandoned homeland with disdain and criticism from the shores of another country while contributing nothing is borderline insanity.

So Africans in diaspora with foreign citizenship. FOCUS ON YOUR ADOPTED COUNTRY AND BE THE BEST CITIZEN OF YOUR NEW COUNTRY YOU CAN BE

Some people need to study a few pages of immigration law before exhibiting their ignorance here.
I wont be surprised if they reply with insults.

You have only one country and so do the Ghanains, Russians, Americans, Italians, Greeks, Jews e.t.c. so you have really said nothing new.
If you love your country so, i expect you to be at the NEPA substation trying to help them get electricity supply back to at least the standard of wartorn Baghdad not using generators to come and insult us here.

All those diasporic ghetto living black a rsed small dicked nincompoops who thinks nothing good can exuberate from the Nigerian entity, they come here and vituperate ignoble vocal kneoptism in the name Nigeria, they cast gigiantic aspersions on mother land Nigeria, they concur within their minds that Nigeria is doomed for apocalyptical destruction, they reveal what they wish to bombard the country with - but we know better - we shall remain patriotic against all those diasporic nincompoops - they are jittery because they know Nigeria is getting better to those days - days of yore when it is the never do wells who make their way to America or Europe - days of youre where it is not a big deal to travel out of Nigeria - they are afraid that they will not have any mouth when they come home when Nigeria becomes great.

They are hegemonically rejected, by their colour, they are nothing where they are, they are referred to as black niggers and affrodeisic cocoons - they find no place there and find no place here - this is why they write anything against the country - we know them and we shall mow them down one by one.

wrong usage. Please check the meaning of exuberate before attempting to use it.

they come here and vituperate ignoble vocal kneoptism in the name Nigeria,
kneoptism does not exist, do not hoodwink the people.

They are hegemonically rejected, by their colour, they are nothing where they are, they are referred to as black niggers and affrodeisic cocoons
affrodeisic does not exist, again do not decieve the people with manufactured words.

we know you have spoken, the main question is what really have you spoken?

Just thought I'd post the several meanings of citizen here:

1. a native or naturalized member of a state or nation who owes allegiance to its government and is entitled to its protection (distinguished from alien).  
2. an inhabitant of a city or town, esp. one entitled to its privileges or franchises.  
3. an inhabitant, or denizen: The deer is a citizen of our woods.  
4. a civilian, as distinguished from a soldier, police officer, etc.  

As for me I have dual citizenship as I was born in London (not my fault, don't think I shoudl apologise) but I am Nigerian. I am a citizen of UK because I live here and I am a citizen of Nigeria because I have allegiance to Nigeria.

Why don't you want me to love my country? I can't change things? I am even planning to come back. Or should I stay here? How does that make things better? By the way, I never criticise Nigeria, only the president- and only to fellow Nigerians, same way I do Bush and Blair, atleast my relatives are still there sufferig because of them. So tell me in my own case, what should I do? No longer claim to be a Nigerian?
