UK Citizen Wanting Also Nigerian Citizenship by jjop0: 6:16am On May 12, 2023
Hi,

I was born and raised in England. I would like to acquire nigerian citizenship. I searched a website and it said that as my father is a nigerian citizen, then I should be eligble for citizenship by birth.

Does anyone know the process for acquiring citizenship in this manner? Because the problem is me and my father don't talk. We are not on good terms. So I know he will not help me with this. Is there a way that I can acquire the citizenship without his help? For example, his name is on my birth certificate so it should be clear proof that he is my father right? Or do they have to meet my father?

You are a Nigerian by default as long as your father is Nigerian, so fly into Nigeria and visit any passport office and you'd be issued your ID.

Congratulations.

If you are born in Nigeria... you don't need your dad to get ur citizenship. But since you are born on British soil... you will be required to provide your dad birth of certificate, Nigerian passport...

If u are not in talking terms... I really don't hav answer to how you can get ur citizenship without him droping his documents

You can try the Nigerian embassy but I doubt they will be able to issue you one without any documents
confirming ur dad Citizenship status Or records.

But you can give a try sha

What do you need a Nigerian passport for?
It’s worthless.
You might even get kidnapped anytime anywhere when you visit Nigeria.
Police will likely arrest and try to extort you if you are young and look rich.
And many more…
Or I forgot to let you know that our “president-elect” forfeited $460k to the USA government as proceeds from narcotics in the past.
Nigeria is a lawless country man, especially for the rich men.
Some will say I’m dissing my country of birth but I’m only saying the truth.

There are many people born abroad who still want to connect with their roots. With Nigerian passport he can visit Nigeria easily. If you stay in places like Lekki, Ikeja who go kidnap you. Are there not foreigners living in lagos how many have been kidnapped If police hear his accent you think they will stress him You never hear accent privilege before. Una go just dey talk anyhow.

I've had two of my neighbors go for ancestral dna testing recently.

Their reasons being that with the recent issues about Russia and their wahala, there may be need to have second homes especially in Africa.

They were like, if there is at least 5percent african bloods in our DNAs, will we be accepted in Africa as Africans?

I laughed that day like I was on cheap drugs. Oyibo and iberibeism ehh.😄

What parts of Lagos (or even Nigeria in general) are cheaper to live but also safe? Like the other poster said, I don't want to get kidnapped and held for ransom, but I am also not rich rich and can afford lavish life

Travel with Nigerian passport and then you will know what’s up.
There’s a reason why Nigeria is the headquarter of poverty.

One guy was complaining of how he was having an interview for a foreign gig and nepa took light.
He lost the job.
But funny enough, nepa will still bring bills at the end of the month.
Nigeria is doomed.

Then, you need to visit other African countries to know the true definition of poverty.
