History informs us that nationals who join wars abroad, on returning home, spearhead or play pivotal rules in domestic militancy, insurgencies, revolutions and sundry anarchy. To mitigate this, Nigeria should, urgently, revoke the citizenship of Nationals that leave nations other than Ukraine in order to fight with Ukraine against Russia. Doing this will also facilitate the speedy nationalization of these Nigerians by Ukraine. Without doing this Ukraine would not grant them citizenship. Whites are rarely grateful.

If the Federal Government of Nigeria failed to do this with those Nigerians that fought abroad as Islamists, I'm willing to believe that the disorganized nature of Irag, Syria and Afghanistan made the technicalities of doing do impractical. Ukraine of Europe is however better organized, war conditions considered. Nigeria should have accurate records with which to work.

This is the net consequence of watching too much CNN and BBC. This is what mental colonialization has done to the biggest black nation on earth. Operation brain phuck!
This is what Bob Marley was wailing about, when he asked the black man to "emancipate yourself from mental slavery"..
The people you are going to die for don't rate you. The war you're jumping into, you know nothing about..

This is how our grand fathers went to fight in British wars against Germany in all sorts of places in the name of fighting the World Wars. When it was all over, the only people being celebrated as heroes of these wars are the whites and no mention is made of the black Africans who put down their lives for a fight they knew nothing about..

I have said it here many times, we need to have our own CNN, our own Al Jazeera, our own Press TV... This is a question of national security. Africans need to be exposed to world events based on pro African narratives... Because, As long as millions of black people in Africa depend on western sources for their primary sources of information, so long will their mindsets be messed up in all sorts of wrong ways... You have never volunteered to fight for Congo Kinshasa who has been fighting against a western induced war for over a decade now. A war that has killed over 6 million people. But you want to fight for Ukraine...

Ndi volunteers..

This is indeed an untapped business I.e. an African CNN or BBC....

We should encourage ppl to create it.

All this comments about it is about escaping to Poland. What kind of life do you think is waiting for an illegal African migrant in Poland, I pity you people with your rose colored view of the world.

You can register at the embassy in Abuja. Mail is quite slow in response.

This is happening Because there's is
Little or no hope staying in Nigeria

Either Nigerian journalists or Seun Must Chop studios have created this one. One would think pictures will exist, but where they wan photoshop such to back their made-up write-up? Lol. I’m off to the next thread.

Biafrans might see this as opportunity to join alliance with Ukraine, so maybe Ukraine will come and fight for them when their own war is over with Russia. Mind you, Billions of Dollars is already thrown into the Ukraine war by the West

Any way is a way.
Nigerians want to escape the country by all means.

HAHAHAHAHAHA, JAKPA JAKPA.

ANY WAY IS WHAT AGAIN?

It is not really about the war. It's a risk they have calculated. If they die in the war, so be it and if they survive, they would have secured a permanent residence in Europe. Beside, Nigeria is not any better with high mortality rate and uncertainty. Accidents killing Nigerians due to bad roads, poor health services amidst high insecurity. Imagine, I couldn't make it to work today due to fuel scarcity. Most people in Nigerians are not living life, they are merely existing. For such people going to join the fight in Ukraine is a golden opportunity to exit this hell of a country.

My sentiments exactly. These same Ukrainians won't allow Africans on their trains to get them to the border where they can escape from the war. African students had guns pointed at them while trying to flee from war torn Ukraine. Yet, you have Nigerians constantly taking the sides of white people who don't care about them.

It's a laudable move. Fight for country of worth

And how are you so sure that they will be given permanent residency afterwards? So you really think that white people don't make promises that they break? There were Africans who fought in world war 2. What did they get in return? Europe is not and can never be your ancestral land. It is somebody else's home. The day the real indigenous people (the whites) vote and demand from their leaders that they don't want Black people in their homelands anymore, these same white countries can decide to enact an immigration policy whereby they can revoke your citizenship just like that without needing to give you an explanation. Britain is on it's way to enact such a policy where the government could strip you of your British citizenship without warning or notice. It is called the NATIONALITY AND BORDERS BILL. I will leave links below for those of you interested in reading more about it.

Fix your homeland or do whatever it takes to break up Nigeria if things are so bad. Many of you admit that Nigeria is not working yet when the topic of breaking up Nigeria comes up, you don't want to support the notion. Call for referendum, you people refused. You allowed your homeland to rot and now you want to flee to other people's homeland. Have you asked yourself if the indigenous people of the country you are trying to flee to want you there?

Are Africans not tired of the humiliating experience you receive abroad? Remember when the Chinese in China kicked Africans out of their homes during the start of the coronavirus pandemic? Now the internet is flooded with pictures and videos of Africans stuck in freezing cold weather who cannot escape Ukraine because they won't be allowed to board the trains headed towards the borders while whites, Indians, Asians and everyone else is allowed not only to board the trains but cross into neighboring countries for their safety. Are you people not tired of the humiliation? You people must have such low self esteem to keep tolerating condescending treatment everywhere you go as a people for the simple fact that you don't want to fix your homeland. Shame no dey catch una?

I WANT YOU ALL TO TAKE YOUR TIME AND READ THE BELOW ARTICLE. EUROPE WILL NEVER AND CAN NEVER BE YOUR HOMELAND. WHEN PUSH COMES TO SHOVE, THE REAL INDIGENOUS SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF THE SOIL WILL SHOW YOU THE DOOR AND SEND YOU PACKING. IT IS U.K TODAY. IT COULD BE ANOTHER EUROPEAN COUNTRY TOMORROW ENACTING A SIMILAR BILL. FIX YOUR NATION NIGERIA BECAUSE AT THE END OF THE DAY, EUROPEANS ARE ONLY TOLERATING YOU. THOSE WHO HAVE EARS, LET THEM HEAR.


'Maximum Suffering.' A Man Stripped of His Citizenship Sheds Light on the Potential Impact of the U.K.’s Nationality Bill

By Simmone Shah
February 10, 2022 11:02 AM EST

In October 2017, while on a work trip in Turkey, a man known as N3 received a life-changing phone call.

It was his mother on the other end, back home in Britain, where he had lived most of his life, with a letter that had arrived in the mail informing him he had been stripped of his British citizenship. He was accused of being “aligned to a group that is aligned with Al Qaeda,” but, even after all charges were dropped, he was never told what evidence they had against him.

The man, who has been identified only as N3 under legal proceedings to protect his privacy, had only meant to stay in Turkey for a few weeks. He says he was tying up loose ends on some projects, working with a U.K. charity to provide shelter for Syrian orphans and widows in Turkey, and developing an eco-friendly plastic alternative that he hoped might facilitate a trade between Bangladesh and Turkey. But when his citizenship was taken away, so too was the certainty of when he might return home to his mother and three young children.

“In the initial days my mind went completely blank,” N3 tells TIME over email through his lawyer, in his first interview since returning to the U.K. He spent three and a half years stuck in limbo, first in Turkey, then in France, all while fighting against the British government to regain his citizenship and return home to his family in the U.K.

N3’s story is the type of case that campaigners worry could be on the rise, particularly as the U.K. edges closer to making citizenship deprivation easier. The full extent of the practice is currently not publicly known because the British government does not disclose the number of people who have been stripped of their citizenship or the reasons for deprivation.

“When we first began capaigning on these issues a decade ago, we noticed a connection between [citizenship] deprivation and extrajudical state intervention, either through drone strikes or illegal rendition, imprisonment and torture,” says Muhammad Rabbani, the Managing Director of CAGE, an advocacy group that provides support for victims of the war on terror and helped N3 throughout his case. “The use of this power has dramatically increased in recent years, affecting aid workers, holiday makers and even entire families.”

The Free Movement, an organization which provides information on immigration and asylum law, has estimated through freedom of information requests that at least 464 people have been stripped of their citizenship since 2006. In 2017, the year N3 lost his citizenship, the U.K. saw a peak of 148 cases of citizenship deprivation.

Now, the Nationality and Borders bill, which is currently working its way through Parliament, seeks to grant the government further power in cases of citizenship deprivation. Clause 9, hastily added before the bill passed through the House of Commons after just 9 minutes of debate, would allow the government to strip an individual of British citizenship without providing warning, if it is not “reasonably practical” to do so, as long as that person is deemed to be eligible for citizenship elsewhere.

More than a hundred charities, creatives and professionals have signed a joint statement denouncing the bill as “overtly racist” and calling for an end to citizenship deprivation. A petition circulated at the end of last year demanding for Clause 9 to be removed gathered over 300,000 signatures.

“The Nationality and Borders Bill is a reprehensible assault on the right to asylum and citizenship,” says Rabbani. “Clause 9 cements the existence of a racist two tier citizenship deprivation regime and frees the hand of the Home Office to deprive people with even less scrutiny by doing away with the notification requirement.”

Under the current law, a person must be notified if their citizenship is revoked. Once becoming aware of the deprivation, individuals may appeal the decision through the Special Immigration Appeals Commission (SIAC). However, deprivation orders are often issued once an individual is already out of the country, as N3’s was, making it difficult to appeal. The individual is also not told what evidence is being used against them.

Fahad Ansari, an attorney who specializes in citizenship deprivation and who represented N3 in his legal case, notes that the passing of this bill would further complicate the appeals process. “Inevitably it is more difficult to appeal a decision that you know nothing about,” says Ansari.

In an emailed statement, a spokesperson for the Home Office said, “Our priority is to ensure the safety and security of the U.K. Deprivation of British citizenship only happens after very careful consideration of the facts and in accordance with international law.” The Home Office does not provide comment on individual cases, but the spokesperson noted that, “Each case is assessed individually on its own merits and always comes with the right of appeal.”

Under international law, a person cannot be deprived of their citizenship if it will make them stateless. The British government had issued its deprivation order against N3 on the assumption that he could claim citizenship in Bangladesh because he is of Bangladeshi heritage. As part of his appeal against the government’s decision, N3 argued that, because he had not claimed citizenship in Bangladesh when he turned 21, his right to citizenship there had lapsed.

In a legal observation published in January, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees warned that the bill undermines the 1951 Refugee Convention, of which the U.K. is a signatory, and that Clause 9 “would increase the risk of U.K. citizens, including children, being made stateless, in contravention of the U.K.’s international obligations.”

“There is a strong international consensus that the right to a nationality and the prohibition of arbitrary deprivation of nationality are fundamental principles of international law,” the observation states.

Soon after he learned of the deprivation order, Turkish intelligence officers came knocking. His name had been flagged to them by British authorities, but after conducting a background check, they told him he was free to live his life in Turkey, with the police checking in on him every few weeks. Still, he feared he might be deported or detained at any moment if the tides changed. His British passport had been invalidated by the deprivation order, leaving him unable to apply for a Turkish visa or residency.

In subsequent meetings, officers would bring up names and locations that made it clear to him that the interrogation efforts didn’t stem from Turkish intelligence. “I understood that these questions came from elsewhere,” he said.

As the appeal process dragged on, he tried to live as normally as possible under the circumstances. “I just had to get on with life,” he says of that time. He focused on his charity work and other small business interests he had, making enough money to get by.

“The Turkish intelligence officers told me clearly that had I had an ‘English’ name I would have been rewarded and given a medal for the great work I did,” says N3. “It stuck with me that even they could see the racism I was being subjected to.”

The U.K’s eroding citizenship rights

The U.K. has long held the power to strip citizenship, though has only begun to use it regularly in recent decades. “The practice goes back to the times of the World Wars when it was used to target nationals who had connections with enemy countries,” says Devyani Prabhat, a legal scholar at the University of Bristol who specializes in citizenship. The British Nationality and Status of Aliens Act 1918 introduced the practice of deprivation for disloyalty or treason, though the law and subsequent ones did not apply to British-born citizens. “This predates universal human rights and is a pre-globalisation idea, that having multiple allegiances puts national security at risk,” says Prabhat.

Between 1973 and 2006, not a single person in the U.K. was deprived of their citizenship. In 2003, shortly after the U.S. and U.K.-led invasion of Iraq, the Labour government loosened the law, removing protections against deprivation for individuals born into British citizenship and allowing the removal of citizenship of anyone seen as “seriously prejudicial to the vital interests of the United Kingdom or a British overseas territory,” in an effort to deport London Imam Abu Hamza, whose hate speech led to nationwide calls for his deportation. The conditions of the law were relaxed further in 2006, so that the government could revoke citizenship if an individual was seen as “not conducive to the public good,” Prabhat notes that this gave the government more discretion over who could be deprived of their citizenship. “This is a low threshold that can be used in a broad manner: there are no checks.”

Ansari notes that, because deprivation orders cannot be used against individuals with one citizenship, the law has a disproportionate impact on non-white citizens, who are more likely to have connections to other countries. “By enabling the Home Secretary to strip someone of their citizenship simply because he or she believes it is ‘not conducive to the public good’ for them to be British, parliament has given the government unprecedented power to act as judge, jury and executioner without adequate safeguards on the use of that power,” he says.

Some advocacy groups believe the crackdown is correlated to rising Islamophobia and fears of terrorism as some British citizens traveled to fight in Syria and Iraq in recent years. But, since the government does not share the details of the cases—or any evidence being used against an individual, there is little clarity about the rationale. Ansari notes that many of the recent cases have involved individuals located in South Asia, the Middle East and Africa.

“It is often a means for the Home Office to absolve itself of its legal responsibilities towards its citizens, as we’ve seen with the young abandoned children caught up in the prison camps in Syria,” says Rabbani.

The case of Shamima Begum, who was stripped of her citizenship after she left the U.K. to fight with the Islamic State in Syria in 2015, ignited public debate about the practice when she later sought to regain her citizenship.

“Recent cases have demonstrated that the power is being used against non-national security cases and it is a very slippery slope we are on,” says Ansari. “It is a far cry from what the government said in Parliament when seeking to change the test in 2002, arguing that it would only be used for ‘the most flagrant cases of disloyalty.’”

“It’s the principle of the thing,” says Prabhat. “If any one minister can take away your citizenship without showing any evidence and notifying you, what does it say about the value of citizenship?”
