Boer applied to be a Nigerian citizen but did not meet all the requirements. He has Dutch and Canadian citizenship through his father, Jan Harm (John), whose family emigrated to Canada in the 1950s. And he has U.S. citizenship through his mother, Frances Ann (Fran), whose family emigrated to the United States in the 1940s. John and Fran taught their children Hausa, rather than Dutch. Boer’s parents now live in Vancouver, BC.

HedwigesMaduro:
I thought being born in Nigeria should confer citizenship on him?

thatigboman1:

Divoc19:
We have had foreigners/non Nigerians rule us before now. His only crime is that he is white so, he can't lie about his lineage.

MartinsD12:
Stop being unreasonable that he is lived in Nigeria for long is enough to guarantee him nationalization but your corrupt irrational country will be rejecting it, is their business for selfish reason , the man is qualify go else where and argue, don't mention me again .

MartinsD12:
He is constitutionally qualify to vie for any election in Nigeria having being born and lived for so long in Nigeria that is nationalization,

He was born to missionaries in Jos and had lived all his life in Nigeria – moving between towns and cities in the north. So, he had nominally fulfilled the conditions of naturalization – which says you must have resided in Nigeria for a continuous period of 15 years. But he was denied the citizenship he craved.

Boyooosa:
Does he have the right to apply for naturalization to be a citizen?
If he's a naturalized citizen, is he qualified to contest in a gubernatorial election?

Ricodine:
You are absolutely correct! You and that SIRTee15 gentleman. You see, many Nigerians don't even understand the textualism of our Constitution. I would have been equally guilty of this blunder if not for the nature of my work

IDIOTmoderators:
Guy STFU... You are not reasoning.

Do you have to be disrespectful while making your point? Make your point right or wrong and move on.

sapphiremustdie:
You are real Dumbass! Bye I have reasonable people to chat

sapphiremustdie:
There are lots of foolish people like you on NL ..you think you are smart but you are just plain stupid and uneducated.
I am insulting because you insulted me first for no reason.
You pick an article and the first paragraph you even sent to me headline without knowing the nitty gritty of the law and you are so lazy to read.
Just a point from what you refused to read. Do you know if the guy has grandparents from Nigeria? Go and read the constitution you will get answer to my question. I won't respond to you again because you are very rude.

sapphiremustdie:
Guy please get moving since you cannot read to comprehend...go back to the whole constitution of Nigeria on citizenship by birth.

sapphiremustdie:
Ask him
