It is common sense for people who understand what it means to be a citizen of a country and what allegiance to your country means.

When a people who aren’t dual citizens openly de-market their country, constantly run to other countries to report their internal affairs and grievances, willingly ridicule their country, calling for military action against their country by other countries, what does it matter if a contestant is a dual citizen?

Let those who aren’t dual citizens show they understand what it means to be a citizen of a country before they start pontificating.

I agree, that once you willingly take an oath of allegiance to another country, you should not be able to contest for any office in Nigeria but when Nigerians without dual nationality themselves act against the interests of their country, they make the whole issue a waste of time and energy.

Makes so much sense

quickly:
explain why?

thats how u lose out of credible people. The nigerian mindset is already corrupted u need Good ppl from outside.

So if u have an equivalent Obama that is Nigerian , he is disqualifed? or Okonjo Iwela for example shes a dual citizen Director-General of the World Trade Organization (WTO) but because of passport shes disqualied?.

Nigeria allows dual nationality unlike countries like congo

If they want to contest to be president of Nigeria then they should renounce or give up their foreign citizenship, it's a simple as that.

And for your info Barack Obama was born in the United States of America and not Kenya so he has a legitimate claim to being an American; if he were born in Kenya he would never have become president of the US.

A Nigerian president or any president for that matter who has dual citizenship has divided allegiance therefore it will be difficult for him to take unbiased decisions in matters concerning the two countries
