And you are a woman.

Do you know as of right now only women married to Nigerian men can be citizens.

Men married to Nigerian women don't have that privilege.
Who cares? A lot of these foreigners are being kidnapped anyway, so why will I marry a man from another country and still live in Nigeria?
Ask yourself this question, what is the benefit of being a Nigerian citizen?
Even people who are citizens of this failed state want to leave so bad and become citizens of a working state.

You have a point too.

The potential for abuse is high.
Why are you guys so negative? You always look for the loop holes in every policy instead of the benefits. Other countries use their women to lure high level manpower and skills and investments into their country, while we druve then away. If you are a very special person countries looking for development would want to do all they can to bring you and keep in their country. We only the other hand drive away both local and foreign skilled manpower.

I never said it is not a progressive policy.

Everything has good and bad.
We should be aware of it.

It doesn't mean we shouldn't do it though.

Who wants our dirty citizenship
Re: Reps Adopts Bill To Confer Citizenship On Foreigners Married To Nigerian Women by Alusiizizi(m): 7:45am On Feb 08, 2022
I guess this development will be considered good news to men from Benin republic, Malawi, Togo and other desperately poor countries and since we know that Nigerian women mostly gravitate to financially capable men(which is not a bad thing, as long as the relationship is not a parasitic one) only acts of pure love would render this otherwise useless amendment valuable to anyone on this planet.

There is no benefit to you, understandably, but that citizenship is gold to Indians, Chinese, Lebanese businesses in the country.

If your husband ever wants to invest in Nigeria, it would be gold to him too.

Have you ever worked in an Asian company in Nigeria?
When Immigration visits, that is when you will see commotion with Asians running up and down to hide.

Many can't even leave the complex for fear of being picked up.

Who exactly are the foreign men marrying Nigerian women?
What is their nationality?
Is that going to prevent ASUU strike?

While the US, Britain, Canada and Australia poach the best of our minds for their national development, we too could poach Benin republic, Malawi and Togo for the best of their own minds too, that is if we are really interested in physical development and not forever depending on rent economy.

Come to Ikorodu here. When immigration visits these Chinese companies in Ikorodu, you will see commotion. Chinese workers running up and down to hide any where - locker rooms, toilets and even freezers.

They need to thread cautiously. All what these dubious Lebanese and Chinese need to do is to look for one Olosho, take her to AMAC marriage registry and marry her to get citizenship. This may be a recipe for immigration disaster.
Well, I think it will be a benefit to the Olosho if divorce comes in.
His investments will be something else.

Even at that…
Have you ever asked yourself why this same Indians and other Asian citizens come into Nigeria to invest? Obviously because Nigeria has natural resources that the FG keep misusing, they come to make use of it while employing Nigerians and still maltreating them in their own land, they know that foreigners are being treated way better than the citizens itself and that would be of great gain for them in so many ways, one of it being keep employing Nigerian workers, push them to work and maltreat them because their Government doesn’t care. I went to immigration at Ikoyi to do my passport, we were so many on the queue at around 8am, when it was around 8:30am, some Chinese guys came to join the crowd and that was how one of the immigration men went to them and asked them what they wanted to do, then he took them inside. People just started shouting. So them coming isn’t even beneficial to citizens of this country.
This is why CCECC and other companies they have in Nigeria treat their Nigerian workers as slaves, pay little salary to their workers, maltreat them right here in this same Nigeria because FG doesn’t care as long as they pay their taxes. So why won’t they come?
Were you not on twitter the other day when one Chinese restaurant was called out for maltreating their Nigerian workers? It was after that call out they did an investigation and found out it was true, the restaurant was closed for good.
They obviously cannot close CCECC because that is actually the leading construction company in Nigeria, so the mistreatment continues.

Can this happen in any other sane country and the company won’t be sued?
Can’t you see what Chad and Niger people that are already citizens in Nigeria are doing? These are the same people that have turned into Boko Haram and bandits inflicting the owners of the land and yet you want more of them to keep coming.

If you think foreigners coming to Nigeria to invest are doing it for your sake, then sorry for you because they would walk all over you to get what they want and nothing would be done about it.

Lol, like the people who come into Nigeria and walk all over Nigerians to have their gains?
Or the same people who get kidnapped every day and sometimes killed by Boko haram and bandits?
Or were you not here when the Chinese and other countries wrote a memorandum to their citizens in Nigeria when the insecurity was getting worse and their people were getting killed, that they should prepare themselves to leave the country?
Or was it not during the same Covid-19 period that countries started taking their citizens out of Nigeria because they knew Nigeria could not take care of its own citizens talk less other citizens during the pandemic?

Foreign investors don't invest in a country because they want to help.
Lol.

If I go and invest in Ghana for example, I am not doing it because I like ghanaians, it's because I see ghana as a place to make my money and quickly and easily.

My investment may create jobs but that is not my end goal as an investor.
My goal is to multiply my money.

It's the job of the Ghanaian govt to ensure that their own interests are satisfied as well as mine.

If investors over-exploit a country, then that is a failure of govt.

Most investors would do it if given the opportunity, including you.

Though to be fair, Asian investors are terrible in staff welfare and general decency.

They are mostly poverty striken anyway, so they can't give what they don't have in their countries.

The best investments are still from Western Europe and America.

In one line you say "them coming isn’t even beneficial to citizens of this country" and the very next line you say they pay little salary to their workers. Are you saying the little salary they pay (and taxes) is not beneficial to the country?

The problem is both your government and fellow Nigerians. When Nigerians in these Chinese companies decides to fight for higher salaries, it's their Nigerians senior management staff and the government that always sabotage their efforts. I have seen it here in Ikorodu where it's fellow Nigerian senior management staff that advice Chinese company owners not to increase salary of junior workers.
Re: Reps Adopts Bill To Confer Citizenship On Foreigners Married To Nigerian Women by CSTRR: 8:41am On Feb 08, 2022
Is there even an Asian company in Nigeria that pays entry level graduate staff, N100,000/month.?

I doubt this.

Terrible people.
