She mentioned specifically immigration laws discriminatory to women. Do u have such laws or not?

Her misquoting the exact discriminatory law isn't the only argument.



because u don't like it doesn't make it wrong. My response above clarifies her position. I don't like it but how is it wrong?

You were not appointed to clarify her position and she never mentioned or cited Nigeria laws are discriminatory to women so don’t put words into her mouth she specifically mentioned she can’t pass her citizenship to her children.

So If she comes tomorrow and say she was gang raped that’s how you folks will be clarifying what she said. Na wa o! Let her come back and state the correct thing in our laws instead of you guys educating or polishing her ignorance

ttmacoy:
It looks like she is mixing it up with the rule that says a foreign man married to a Nigerian woman is not eligible to naturalize as a Nigerian citizen but a foreign woman married to a Nigerian man is eligible.

You guys should stop this, she ain’t mixing anything, this was deliberate cos she will never come back to say she was wrong, has the BBC corrected itself that Nigeria doesn’t give only single entry visas to Americans?

jaxxy:
She probably ment to say can't pass her citizenship to her husband not her kids.

Nigeria's immigration laws for marriage is discriminatory to women marrying foreigners.

Other countries including US and UK women can pass their citizenship to their spouses.

But that's not what she said. The painful thing is that the lie has been sold to the world, just like the lie the US sold to the world that Nigeria only issues single-entry visas to American citizens, which is also not true. Western democracies cannot use lies to push anti-immigrant rhetoric for their selfish agenda, and the reason they will keep doing this is because they know we Nigerians are so stupid to believe any lie they push out there without fact-checking them.

She never mentioned spouse, so don't make any amends on her behalf!

jaxxy:
Kemi has hatred for Nigeria and Nigerians because she tells us the truth about our government and country? Her immigration views are not only for Nigeria but other countries aswell.

Including that she can't pass her Nigerian citizenship to her children? what truth is that one

aikyg:
She needs to go find the policemen who stole her brother's shoes and the immigration officers who denied her children Nigerian citizenship. We cannot suffer for other people's crime.

one naija guy in London, some months ago, bought a new pair of shoes and sent them to her office to appease her, we may need beg the Nigeria immigration office to quickly send her children's passports to her house o, at least in the Uk now, the Nigeria embassy is very effective as you can get your passport in 24-48 hours.

I agree with you cos with the way this woman dey go she go soon expose anyone wey thief meat for inside her mama stew when she dey naija

anytime this man go Ogun state e dey always drop some heavy statements

aikyg:
Wow!. This lady is really doubling down. What exactly did Nigerians in the UK do to piss her off this much?

she said Nigeria police stole her brother's shoe now we no give her children citizenship, our cup don full

seunmsg:
Kemi should please cool down on some of these hardline views against Nigeria. It’s not helping her political career in any way. Fight the Labour Party and leave Nigerians alone.

She's even lying about the citizenship issue for her children. If she doesn't want Nigerian citizenship for her children, she should say so rather than lying.

charlesemeka85:
story 🤣🤣🤣🤣

At least all the headache of osihmen transfer wey people get especially on this thread, go calm down now, those of una wey the thing pain, make una take heart na so life be Kindly shift your attention to other Nigerian players, no be only osihmen dey europe at least make the other players find the legacy wey osihmen no fit get according to una. ire o kabiti!

Direct link to Nigerian constitution to preempt those who would rather rely on quotes from random people saying what they want to hear, as usual: http://www.nigeria-law.org/ConstitutionOfTheFederalRepublicOfNigeria.htm#Chapter_3

Section 25. (1) clearly states that her children can get citizenship through her. Why on earth would she tell such a blatant lie?

This is how the falsehood of Nigeria granting US citizens only single entry visas spread like wildfire, but why is Nigeria becoming a target these days with blatant falsehood and propaganda by the west, Is there a gang up against the country, I know our sins are plenty but make dem take am easy with these lies na Omo na wa o!

If Madam kemi doesn’t want Nigerian citizenship for her children that’s fine but she doesn’t need to lie to incite hatred against Nigeria.

My own is no one should cry in 2027 that they were rigged out o!

In 2023, buhari was neutral and didn’t really back anyone. Now the person they are up against is the incumbent, that is a tall order. Despite the gang up of the opposition in 2015, GEJ only lost narrowly, now the current opposition is not that organised, the earlier they roll up their sleeves the better instead of grandstanding!

justwise:
I don’t believe this is true, social workers will not take your child straight away without any investigation, they will investigate the issue before it gets to the point of taking your kids, I’m not in any way supporting the idea of taking kids away from their parents, parents need support and time to get things right.

Social worker is not targeting immigrants, the problem here is that immigrants especially the new arrivals are more likely to get in trouble with social workers as they may not be aware of certain laws as regards the child welfare laws.

I’m not a huge fan of social workers even though I understand why they were established. I don’t believe that kids taken into social welfare end up better than staying with parents.


Parents make mistakes however I don’t think they should be punished by taking away their kids.

While this may not be true theoretically but in practice it looks so. I also know of a case involving a college of my spouse (white British) who was reported in fact it was the headteacher of the school who reported to the social services of alleged neglect which was even a set up by her ex husband, she however scaled through but I doubt if it was a Nigerian or a visa holder if the outcome would be same. Another thing I learnt especially from the Brits which I think we Nigerians or Africans should also learn is that when there are issues within the family especially between children and parents they reach out to relatives first like uncles and aunts before they allow it get to the level of social services. I know we live in an individual based society but it’s good we have a kind of social community system support that can be our first point of call for quick assistance and advice before things get out of hand. Again any child that will go astray will still do but perhaps we can still try. My view!

Lexusgs430:
Exactly my point..... Infact a case precedent is available, where the judge mandated the Nigerian parents to produce their Nigerian son at the next hearing (in 7 days)........ 🤣🇳🇬😁


All of this conversations is not to score cheap points, but serve as a form of education to us all...

My experience with social services, is well documented on this thread.. . .. Me the David, defeated the goliath (they even tendered a letter of apology)......🤣😂🤣

wahala na to disown pikin remain now o!

Treadway:
that case is slightly different as I believe that one was a British citizen already. This one no get permanent settlement much less citizenship, so I was wondering what will happen to the silly child in this case if the parents are evicted. On what visa will the child remain? No be same Nigeria dem go still fling am join, abi dem go give pikin ILR or citizenship for this ni

Unfortunately the child is protected by the law in the uk and will never leave, as he or she will now be govt responsibility, he or she will remain and get ilr sef in seven years time and become citizen. You see why am suggesting make the parent quickly pack any uncontrollable child back home? Na so e be o! Remember ekweremadu matter is the boy not still in uk? While Oga Dey inside prison. While that case looks different it underscores how children are being protected and many of them are beginning to know this and use against their parents.

Lexusgs430:
Remember the case of the Ghanaian boy that sued his parents, for deporting him back to Ghana. He won his appeal...... 😁😂

I don't know the house he would be returning to in the UK, or would the state take responsibility over him or would the judge mandate his parents to assume full responsibility...... 😉😁

The parents are not on a visa I assume, at least there is no risk of deportation for them. The parents go just ‘gba be’ till he’s of age to get a house of his own na our brothers and sisters on visa na my main concern. May all our school fees, visa fees, ihs fees and all taxes not come to nought cos of coconut heads o! e no funny where will people start from?

But that Ghanaian boy na ebora sha 😂

ufotunang:
.. Atiku is very wealthy.. Atiku will use dollars to win the primaries as he did in 2022 in PDP primaries against wike,... he will use dollars to bribe the delegates to vote for him.. peter obi does not have such financial dollars power and dollars to bribe delegates..you know how Nigeria primary election are.
It's all about money.. dollars to win the primaries

Populism or activism doesn’t mix well with politics even Trump with all his populism agenda needed a Musk with his dollars to get him back into the White House. Obi should go and get more financiers if he’s truly serious, all those we no Dey give shishi mantra can’t work. He himself knows and that’s why he’s been making huge donations here and there. Even to get the VP slot sef he must supply dollars o!

tunjijones:
I don't even have a problem if they are clamoring for an igbo president, it's their right.

What I am against is, is them saying obi is the most competent.... They should come out openly with full chest and say it as it is, they want an igbo president, full stop.

This has always been my view, the man in aso rock we keep abusing came out with his full chest to say emilokan and we all got offended but man he said it as it is, he never claimed to be a saint and so on. He even went on to say Yoruba lokan(this was even in contention at the primaries level o not main election) The SE should come out boldly and insist in any political party they think they have chance on an Igbo presidency instead of hiding behind competencies or a new Nigeria nonsense, Obi is not the only competent politician around, there are many out there. In 2031 no northern politician will be talking about competency instead they will be insisting it’s their turn.

@Mosun8220 pls get in touch with Mr Lekan lije everyone said. I have watched him saved many families and reunites them with their kids after taken away by social workers. You can watch some if his videos and learn some defensive skills there.
Taking your kids straight away without investigation is not how things works and i feel they are trying to target immigrants cos my sister british citizen whose son accused abuse never got her kids taken away as they investigated the matter and the child later exonerates the parents that they never did it but was just trying to paint a story.

I actually wanted to say this earlier but just wanted to avoid the backlash of the victim tag, it’s obvious especially with the way the op was quickly dismissed from work and that’s the strategy now as any accusation is currently being linked to deportation as we continue to wallow in this anti immigrant sentiment and regime, I hear there are even plans now to empower the police to use their discretion to deport immigrants on the spot even for minor offences like driving cautions and so on. I think everyone on a visa should just be on guard, don’t drive without a full licence and avoid trouble as much as you can, if a child is becoming uncontrollable abeg do all you can to avoid issues with the govt ( if possible deport the child yourself back home instead of you being deported). We can say this is fear mongering but it’s really getting more hostile out there.

Hkana:
It's a sad reality for some families. Some watch their kids go astray before their very eyes and are unable to do anything about it because the only sure way they know that will set such kids straight will get them (the parents) in trouble with "the authority" here. Really sad.

And am not one of those who will blame any parent for their child going astray cos I have seen parents who did all the right things yet the child went his or her own way. Honestly I may begin to support the idea of taking them back home if they are becoming uncontrollable cos why will a hardworking parent lose their visa status because of one coconut head! Not fair mhen!

charlesemeka85:
to be honest I have never been a fan of women football. It bores me too much when I force myself to watch

You’ll be a fan soon, trust the process

TheGoodJoe:
Silly fans. If Maradona was treated the way Osimhen was by Napoli, Maradona would not respect the club.

That club is a disgrace not only to football but to common sense. Civilisation, there is no developed world standard! Just unfortunate Europeans like one of my folks will say.

charlesemeka85:
Women football dey pain me for eye 🤦‍♀️🤣🤣

if your daughter dey play you no go talk this kind thing o, you see your life outside

Mosun8220:
They are currently in foster care and we don’t have access to them.

One of them sneaked out of the house to his friend’s place without the knowledge of my wife . It was from his friend’s place that he told them we used to beat him with TV cable which is not true. They informed the social worker and we got arrested. Then my employer was informed and I was disengaged me and my COS was cancelled.

Currently we are in court. Both parents are involved.

Am so sorry for all you're going through, please stay strong ( easier said than done) and seek all manner of legal help you can get.

You see all these kids that we spend huge resources on in the name of a better life, hmmm, no wonder many are sending them back home in Nigeria or Africa to school, where oraimo cord will reset their brains for real with no government interference.

It's obvious people cash out from these things, not just for charity purposes

It’s high time age limits should be set for presidents worldwide. In this modern times it’s burdensome for countries to have aged presidents with all the rigour they go through in the course of their presidency. It doesn’t make sense any longer. I knew it was just a matter of time for someone who’s 79 years to begin to have health issues. Those who mocked Biden then I hope they know that’s where his successor too is headed. It’s no crime just age.

🟡🔴 Galatasaray and Napoli, at the final stages of Victor Osimhen deal after positive talks today.

Gala set to pay €40m now, €35m by the end of 2026 — also won’t be able to sell the player to Italian clubs for two years.

Guarantees and sell-on clause, now as final topics.

Na the headache wey dem get be this, stone hearted people! shior

TheGoodJoe:
Galatasaray mean business.

Retirement league o 😂

Elders, as an international student who arrived in the UK in March 2025, how can I improve my credit score of 549? I’ve tried applying for credit cards with Capital One and Tesco, I was approved, but they require a UK driver’s license to verify my identity, which I don’t have yet. I’d really appreciate any advice or help.

Get a provisional driving license! Go online and find out more. But apart from driver’s license are you sure your international passport will not suffice

TheGoodJoe:
I don't think so. Not given a chance does not mean Osimhen can't play on the wings. When he drifts to the wings, he plays well. So there is no way he will be poor playing there. It will just take tactical adjustments.

You’re wasting time arguing with folks who don’t like a player, they only pretend to like him when he delivers on the pitch. Just wait when he doesn’t score in 2 or 3 matches you’ll see their true colour.

chrisooblog:
A lot has happened will Osimhen agree? Plus Napoli just announced the signing of another forward.

It’s getting obvious they wanted him to rejoin the team and are angry with him for rejecting them but why will a club send a player on loan that can give you over 20 goals in a season which kind mumu be that!

Samueltemi337:
It's not just about black players
Napoli has treated many white players badly
Go and read about mario rui
Even mertens during the end of his contract they stop playing him in matches after he refused to extend his contract
The list goes on

There are enough grounds for Napoli to be flexible this is looking more like we want to get rid of you but dictate how you go and where you go, that’s beginning to run against what EU stands for in terms of human rights. If VO goes the legal route I hope folks here won’t castigate him more.
