decisions anyone can make. It is
advisable to weigh the advantages

recommended to consult the appropriate

practitioner when making such moves. |

renouncing one’s citizenship in Nigeria.

be voted for has been relinquished. See
S. 65 (1) (a) (b), S.131 (1) (a), S.177(1)

2. No more access to Federal

Other reasons by which citizenship can
be relinquished or deprived
Here, citizenship is involuntarily taken
away by the government from an
individual whose act and conduct has
been confirmed to be inconsistent with
the provisions of the constitution. Take
for instance where:
Such person(s) has committed an
act of treason or an attempt to
overthrow the government by force
and being convicted by a court of
law or tribunal may be deprived of
his citizenship by the president
although subject to the fact that
such person is not a citizen by
birth. see S. 30 (2) of the 1999
constitution
Such person(s) has traded or
assisted the enemy of Nigeria
during the time of war with the
intent to cause damage to the
interest of Nigeria. See S. 30 (2) (b)
of the 1999 constitution. |

Reasons why people renounce their
citizenship?
Multiple citizenship
In Nigeria, despite the fact that S. 28 of
the 1999 constitution allows for dual
citizenship, on the other hand, it has
also limited same by making a person to
forfeit his citizenship where it appears
that such person is not a citizen by birth
and he later acquires or retain the
citizenship or nationality of another
country other than Nigeria.
Candidates disqualification provisions as
can be seen in S. 66(1) (a), S. 107(1) (a),
S. 137 (1) (a), and S. 182 (1) (a) of the
1999 Constitution also provide further
reasons why people can renounce their
citizenship. In these provisions,
candidates vying for elective political
offices are disqualified on the basis of
their voluntary acquisition of citizenship
of another country other than Nigeria.
It is advised that any person(s) with
interest in vying for any elective
political position should rather renounce
their citizenship of the other country
before making attempt to contest for any
election in Nigeria.
Conscription
Dated back to the 18th century, people
from certain countries renounce their
citizenship to avoid compulsory military
services also known as conscription.
This form of compulsory enlistment into
military services in recent times has
raised several objections on different
grounds ranging from religious or
philosophical grounds; political
objection, for example to service for a
disliked government or unpopular war;
and ideological objection, for example, to
a perceived violation of individual rights.
Those conscripted may evade service,
sometimes by leaving the country. As of
the early 21st century, many states no
longer conscript soldiers, relying instead
upon professional militaries. Many states
that have abolished conscription
therefore still reserve the power to
resume it during wartime or times of
crisis.
Oath of allegiance
Whenever a person pledges his
allegiance or loyalty to another country
other than his country, he advertently or
inadvertently relinquishes his
citizenship of his earlier country. This
can overtly be carried out by joining the
armed forces of the country or accepting
jobs where an oath of allegiance or other
form declaration of allegiance is
required. |

“ Any citizen of Nigeria of full age who
wishes to renounce his Nigerian
citizenship shall make a declaration
in the prescribed manner for the
renunciation” S. 29 (1) 1999 constitution
of the Federal republic of Nigeria.
From the above provision of the
constitution, one can evidently say that
renunciation is a voluntary act of
relinquishing ones citizenship or
nationality for another.
Historically, the right to renounce one’s
obligation to his country was perpetually
denied by the common law doctrine.
This denial however continued till late
19th century when the United State
passed into law her Expatriation Act of
1868 and later the Bancroft Treaties
which recognized the right to renounce
one’s citizen.
However, the Universal Declaration of
Human Rights in (Article 13(2) and
(Article 15 (2) respectively, also
recognizes both rights to leave any
country, including one’s own and the
right to change one’s nationality. The
reason for the passage of these laws was
to counter other countries’ claim that
the U.S citizens born in their country
owed them allegiance perpetually. See
the American celebrated case of Beys
Afroyim v. Dean Rusk, Secretary of
State. This position made it to be the
beginning of an explicit rejection of the
feudal common law principle of
perpetual allegiance across the globe. |
