Total balderdash. If Jada or whatever they call the town was not in Nigeria and the citizens are now kind of second class Nigerians, then the country can as well declare independence. Sometimes, our people recourse to dirty politics to cast clothes of shame and idiocy on themselves. When Atiku was with them, he was qualified to be the VP and could have become the President if his boss had died or become incapacitated somehow, but now he has embraced the light and turned his back on darkness, he is suddenly not qualified and not a Nigerian by birth. Stupid. Herdsmen mentality.

I mean the case has no merit, they are basically just engaging in try your luck, its bound to fail as you stated the argument is irrational and hopeless.
duni04:
Not a fan of Nigerian politics but this ought to be the most ridiculous legal argument i have ever heard. How can someone who was born in a town in present day Nigeria be excluded from contesting elections as a Nigerian because the town was in another country before he was born?
Joda is a town in present day Nigeria, why on earth would someone in Abuja deny anyone in Joda the chance to contest any election because joda was once in Cameroon as far back as 1961

Absolutely ridiculous!!!

The Supreme court would have to step in to properly interpret the law in this case. They need to set a precedent on whether conferred citizenship is retrogressive more so in this very unusual case where another territory was absorbed. I'm sure one of the conditions for joining Nigeria un 1961 would have been promises from the Nigerian side that their rights to full benefits associated with being citizens of Nigeria would not be trampled on. Atiku should introduce that in his defence.

You are the one spreading false information Oga.
Hawaii is NOT a contiguous state in the US

Hawaii was also an independent nation, though now a member of the United states but also outside of North America.

Read my brother, read.

LMAO. Olodo telling me to read. Hawaii became a FULL U.S state on August 21st 1959. Obama was born there two years later in 1961. Please stop embarrassing yourself.

Regardless of where he was born, he was still a natural born citizen by virtue of having an American mother. Both John McCain and Ted Cruz where not born in the US either but where still eligiable based on their Parents citizenship at the time of their birth.

This is showing one thing that most this so called Hausa Fulani folks ruling us are not indigenes of this country. I blame the Hausas for all this mess from Buhari, Atiku and even Abacha sef all of them their parents weren’t Nigerians. And see how they make it through our weak system.

Is Malami even a Nigerian? His head no correct.

In fact nearly half of abokis up North are not Nigerians. That's why they left the Northern borders open while terrorists troops in daily.

They are all terrorists!

But you hailed Barack Obama, whose parents were Kenyan, when he won the US presidency. Many Nigerians with full Nigerian parents have contested and won elections all over Europe and America and are contributing to the development of their host countries. This mindset is why this shithole will never work.

If you allowed him to be elected governor and become vice president you have made him qualified for the position.

If I may ask, which Fulani elite has his root in Nigeria?

Most of their families have been less than 70 years in Nigeria.

The much older ones came during Usman Dan Fodio's 1804 conquest.
An immigrant in US can contest for mayor, governor, senator etc BUT CAN NEVER CONTEST FOR PRESIDENT!.
It's illogical to allow someone who is not a citizen by birth to lead a nation!
You'll never know where his true loyalty lies when push comes to shove!

SO NNAMDI KANU was 100% right when he said that many northern Nigeria top government officials are not Nigerians including Atiku.

One day Nigerians will also know who really is in Aso rock, as he Kanu always point that what we have there is a clone from Sudan.

May we all be alive to see that day

They know Atiku is the next president, so painful they are making a feeble fight to stop him.

Even with another rigging, AP-shit is a goner.

You're the ignorant one here.
I repeat, Obama is the son of immigrant parents. His mother is of English, German descent. He was born outside of North America.

If by virtue of his lineage and mixed race, he qualifies to govern the US, how then is Atiku who is alleged to come from same continent and is also a Black man and raised in Nigeria not qualified?

You cannot successfully have an educative argument without resorting to insults and name calling, so pathetic.

Hawaii is a territory of the United State but NOT in North America.

Go read more about citizenship from territorial habitats in the case of Hong Kong, Britain and China and stop embarrassing yourself on public forum.

Atikulators are coming for you. Brace up. But if you ask I would say malami is talking nonsense. Atiku have earned the right to be a citizen which makes him eligible. Hell, this is a one-time governor of Adamawa.
I hope you understand simple English.

No body is doubting Atiku's citizenship of Nigeria by the 1961 plebiscite.

But he is definitely not a Nigerian by BIRTH.

Our constitution says you must be a Nigerian by BIRTH,not by plebiscite,to become president.

For those still finding it difficult to understand.

Atiku is a Nigerian by the 1961 plebiscite, but he is not a Nigerian by birth,a major constitutional provision.Therefore, he cannot contest for the presidency.
