Will that stop APC from granting Voters cards to the underaged from from Chad and Niger to vote for APC at the election.

Especially getting one in the north for a non -Nigerian hausa/Fulani etc, O easy baje. They’ll eventually be recognized more than a fellow Nigerian from down south


Mindlog:


If non-citizens already have Nigerian passports, what stops them getting a local government certificate of indigeneship?

They should limit this to the border states ,the people who claim nigeria and are NOT Nigerians are the countries bordering the North & South

You will Nigeriens, Chadians etc claiming Northern states, focus should be in the North especially and border states

Probably not so much about renewal and more about new passport that NIN now secures.

We all know many consistently argued that NIN supervision, under Buhari, was to grant Nigerian citizenship cheaply and easily to many who should never have had access to it. Too late now IMO.





Hundreds of thousands of Jihadists have entered Nigeria from the Sahel region of West Africa through the porous borders in Northern Nigeria. They have obtained NIN and Local Government id, and became citizens of Nigeria during the APC government of Nigeria.
Too late indeed.

Some of these documents they are requesting would only make sense if there were existing documentations of citizenship especially at local government levels. At its now, anyone with little money could walk into any local government secretariat with a sworn affidavit and claim his or her is from there. As long as they could speak the local languages, or probably demonstrate their knowledge of the area, they will be granted indigenous document .
Trust me, local government workers will hit a gold mine with this policy.

I pity Nigeria system of governance. So NIS don't have data base that store/save informations. So what is the essence of providing birth cert, state of Origin and National identification while applying for passport at first. What they are saying now is no proper documentation.

There's one mechanic workshop near my place of living. Almost everyone in that workshop is from Benin Republic. And I'm very sure if they really wanted to all of them could get Nigerian passports and nin. All they have to do is bribe, and nin will come out, along with Nigerian passport.

Exactly. Buhari and the Miyetti Allah deliberately opened Nigeria up to Fulanis from neighboring countries to swell their number here for political reasons. This would be a good way to screen those foreigners out.

The Minister in charge should have a rethink about this policy. Proof of indigenship is an outmoded means of identification. Especially in a country where falsification of documents is a trade.

Whether or not someone is an indigene shouldn’t be the question. What should matter is if those living on this soil called Nigeria are worthy to be Nigerian passport holders, and called citizen and a pathway should be shown.

I align with former VP Osinbajo’s proposition to scrap state of origin and replace it with place of birth. We need to blur ethnic lines as they do us no good.

Subsequently, NIN should be treated like SSN. As early as at the period of birth it should be issued along with birth certificates.

Re: Passport Renewal: Proof Of Citizenship Mandatory – NIS by hammer567: 6:47pm On Apr 21
n the new regime, part of the requirements for renewal of passports include provision of a National Identification Number, old passport number, birth certificate, and local government certificate of indigeneship.
WHAT IS ALL THIS?

ALL IS MEANS TO COLLECT YOUR MONEY, WHILST YOU REPEAT THE SAME PROCESS MULTIPLE TIMES.

Can that argument be applied to the case of Nigeria where we should really be in a security State of emergency, because of serious terrorist threats everywhere, with so many non-Nigerians allowed to infiltrate our country to become enemies-within?

Nothing like too much ID for our unique and very dangerous situation that needs serious overhaul. Many non-Nigerians who mean Nigerians harm are in Nigeria and holding Nigerian passports.

We can now only contain those but very serious scrutiny of new passport to be issued is in order and the way to go.

It will stop more evil beings gaining Nigerian citizenship but I am personally more worried about those already here and criminally active or lying low as 'sleeper cells'.
How many abokis terrorists dey apply for visa?

There shouldn’t be too much ambiguity in this,

A document to prove that one has lived in Nigeria for 10 years or more should suffice, things like payslips, employment letter, proof of address should be enough. My name sounds Nigerian already why the burden of ties to the local government when many people were either not born in their local government or even lived there. Just hope this will not be a major pain point, the govt ought to make this process simpler. Our record keeping at the local government level is almost zero.

It’s too cumbersome. So every one must travel to their local government to get identification document before their passport can be renewed
Re: Passport Renewal: Proof Of Citizenship Mandatory – NIS by Shikena(m): 7:00pm On Apr 21
I love the local government requirement. Every single Nigerian came from a family in a specific local government. That is the person's homeland within motherland Nigeria. That homeland is not no man's land.

Sometimes we just have to choose between security and convenience. States can make the processing easier through the ministry of local government affairs so that some situations won't require traveling to the specific local government.

Otherwise, just go home this once and reconnect with your root. It's good for the soul and spirit grin

Lot of nationals from other countries easily hold Nigeria passport. Nigeria Immigration officers are complicit

Many foreigners spend 20 years before they can obtain citizenship in another western countries via complex processes.

Nigeria needs more robust system to verify the citizenship aside this local govt documentation. Local Govt staffers will get bribed and issue this document to someone from Togo easily. Even in Ghana, it's so difficult getting their passport, why is ours different as a nation ?.

Please any stakeholder reading this must note that identifying your state of origin and local government is mandatory and must be adhered strictly with!

Many of us that supported scrapping of state of origin requirement for years have now totally and decisively changed our minds in view of "no man's land" madness. You know your homeland, identify with it. We are Africans, we know our homes. Shikena!
