Meanwhile, more Nigerians have gain citizenship of other countries, almost 5 times this figure brandishing here.

This shows that Nigeria is not an attractive destination for foreigners due to bad politics and government.

Nigeria has to review this process especially when foreign nationals get married to Nigerian.

Data for 1 country in 2023 !!- gov.uk site
The top non-EU nationals granted British citizenship in 2023 were Indian (18,288), Pakistani (16,440), and [b]Nigerian (8,836) [/b]nationals. These 3 nationalities accounted for over one-quarter (28%) of grants to non-EU nationals in 2023.

Now they can feel what we feel at international airport of developed nations.

I hope they don't get labeled as drug peddlers, scammers, and what not, just by carrying the green pasport.

Congratulations to them all the same ... Being a Nigerian is a big flex. The only people you'd push to the wall, and would end up creating a hole within the wall. We don't take no! For an answer; we are Nigerians.✊
But they have two passports nah chief , if Nigerian passport wan dey give issue, then dey swap sharps

ridiculous. na so oo. na lebanese, indians and the dregs of their society.

Eriokanmi:
Ridiculous grin. If you check the list, they're mainly Pakistanis, Lebanese, Indians and a very few Chinese who have jointly looted our money in contracts and kickbacks.
