Can you actually read what you attached?

Read 25c again, she is Nigerian and her parents are Nigerians, her children are Nigerians too. She doesn't even need to pass it because they automatically qualify.

What she cannot pass is Nigerian Citizenship to her his and by virtue of marriage. Unlike how a man can marry a woman and the woman becomes Nigerian by Marriage
I have a senior citizen friend that married a Russian woman, they had 3kids together, all white skinned. It's been 16yrs and these kids and their mother were denied Nigerian citizenship. Out of frustration, she had to relocate to Russia with the kids leaving her husband behind.

This is false and untrue. You become a Nigerian by birth if your parent or atleast one of your grandparents are Nigerian.

Kemi's parents are Nigerians which means she is Nigerian. Her kids will be Nigerians since their mother is Nigerian. If Kemi denounces Nigeria, her children will be Nigerians because their grandparents are Nigerians.

Heck, even if she denounces, her Kids can still be Nigerians from her. She is just ignorant. It isn't her first time
This is not about what the Nigerian constitution says, it not like Nigerians have a big reputation of following the constitution. If Kemi Badenoch, being a woman, with her British accent, dual citizenship, married to a foreigner, were to go to the Nigerian Embassy in England to get her children citizenship, they will frustrate the life out of her

But if she had married a Nigerian man, it would the man, with Nigerian name, Nigerian passport that will go to the Nigerian embassy and things would be much easier, even though they will frustrate him still

Of you go to YouTube and hear what Nigerian men abroad go through to get theur Children Nigerian passport, you will be shocked

Then Kemi Badenoch will go to the sanlme embassy with her foreign surname, British accent and dual citizenship? Nobody will even look at her

APC would've taken Kemi's attacks on Nigeria to a whole new tribal level if that lady had been an Igbo woman.
You are correct but does she get support of 0.01% of her tribes people with the attack? No that's the difference

She’s a dual citizen, British first and then Nigerian.

Her children can become citizens by virtue of their grandparents, but it’s an uphill task for Kemi to apply for her children.
Neither her nor her husband has a Nigerian birth certificate issued, neither does any of her children.
Kemi lived in Nigeria till she was 16 years old when she moved to the UK. Therefore she is first Nigerian and acquired UK citizenship much later. Dual citizenship or not she is a Nigerian citizen by birth. Her children are citizen already, there is no applying for citizenship for them. Children born to a Nigerian citizen(irrespective of dual citizenship) are Nigerians by birth. That is the wording of the constitution.

There is no becoming citizens for her children, they are already citizens

The good privileges the foreigners enjoyed in Nigeria can never be compared to the same thing Nigerians get from The UK, America and the European nations.


We don't know what we have. That's the problems with us Nigerians tongue. I wholeheartedly agree with you.

She is lying deliberately to discredit Nigeria.

This is what she does.

But Nigeria is bigger than her. She is inconsequential.
The truth the whole truth. God bless Nigeria

What kemi is saying about Nigeria is not only APC problem but Nigerians as a whole. Pls don't tribalize or politicize this matter. Every Nigerian should counter and refute her negative energy towards Nigeria.

She’s wasn’t born in Nigeria, so she’s not a ‘citizen by birth’.

Also by virtue of her position in the government her British citizenship trumps her Nigerian citizenship.

You guys should stop all these, did kemi sought for help with her application that’s if she ever wants it for her children sef.

Ashley plumptre that plays for the Nigerian female national team obtained her citizenship by virtue of her grandparents being Nigerians.
This I agree with. Her kids when they come of age can apply for themselves by virtue of their grandparents.

My issue is she’s being called a liar, but I know it’s not as straight forward as people call it out to be.

She’s not a ‘citizen by birth’

She's ignorant, she doesn't even understand the constitution of the country she claims she comes from. When the time comes, she would be tossed out from the window and reminded she's black. Advocating a stricter immigration policy won't change their perception about you.
No she's not, she knows what she's doing. Her intent is deliberate. I think what she needs now is some1 who will tap her to wake up from her dreams and imagination of becoming PM, she can never clinch that seat. The core Brits are not stupid, they know she's extremely dangerous and ambitious to pull anybody down to climb up. Women that exhibit this kind of attitude can't be trusted with power. She's only shooting herself at the feet.

Where is foreign minister Yusuf Tuggur?

He should make some public statements condemning Badenoch and her lies against Nigeria uttered on CNN.

His statements should be loud and reach the British authorities.

They have no right to besmirch Nigeria’s reputation using their black puppet.
But she was right regarding the constitution

Kemi was not born in Nigeria but inherited citizenship, and from my interpretation she is correct by saying she cannot pass it to her children.

I like how you ignore neither of his parents nor his grandparents were born in Nigeria. I thought Kemi's parents were born in Nigeria, no? If yes, Kemi's children have Nigerian grandparents, so they qualify.

I strongly believe you didn't bother to read the full post. You didn't even understand what you posted. Comprehension issue is a very serious issue.

How can someone that left Lagos to the UK at the age of 16 not born in children?

You can do better. English is not that difficult. Make it a habit to read to understand.

If the sentences are too difficult for you, try read through slowly, bit by bit. You might be lucky to get it right this time around, trust me.

‘C’ is connected to the preceding sections. The parent must have been born in Nigeria.

Let’s move away from Kemi… A Nigerian Man gets married in India, has a child there, and later returns to Nigeria.
Gets the child a Nigerian passport… no problem

This female child marries an Australian, and has kids, and then goes to the Nigerian embassy to apply for Nigerian passports for her kids.
It’s near impossible that they’ll be granted without their grandfather.
The female child has Nigerian grandparents, no?

You’re trying to be technical and I know where you’re coming from. She probably might have rescinded her Nigerian citizenship as a senior British govt official especially as she was a former cabinet member when her party was in power but this is where she’s spreading falsehood as not many people people will be aware of that, she claimed to be Nigerian by descent and went on to claim she can’t pass it on and that’s where she goofed. This is why in the first place she ought not to be exploiting her Nigerian heritage for politics if she no longer pledge allegiance to the Green white Green flag! There are other MPs of Nigerian descent in the uk parliament who aren’t doing this so why her?

The fact is that many Nigerians have given birth to children outside Nigeria to claim their citizenship, and yet those children are Nigerian. Section 25C of the Constitution has clarified that already.
