No qualms, extra six weeks after child birth is not a big deal.

That is not good idea, two American citizens having their child outside US, their child is supposed to be qualified automatically as US citizen if all evidence shows that they are the real owner of the child.

For foreigners giving birth in US, their child should wait till 18 years to qualify, that is the standard in EU.

Nigeria own is the most difficult one and need to amended since you cannot be a Nigerian unless if your parents or grandparents is a Nigeria



You must have local government identification too,
Re: Trump Cancels Automatic Citizenship For Children Of US Citizens Born Abroad by bigtt76(f): 7:13am On Aug 31, 2019
Technically true because you're forcing a citizenship that the child may not want when he or she is old enough to understand the implications cheesy

the adage "no place like home" will hit them hard soon enough.
you know we always do things late when all options have been exhausted. Nigerians like to do "e no concern me" because they still have lots of options, reason why most of them do not talk., except for a few.

It's a failed policy... Dead on arrival as it's impossible to change immigration law through presidential order or policy as Trump called it. Though I support the move but must learn to follow due process.

Basicaly, a child born to American parents in Nigeria is stateless.

Since they don't have US citizenship yet and Nigeria does not give automatic citizenship to people born in Nigeria and their parents or grandparents are not Nigerians

International law states that an individual cannot be made stateless.

Soon as I read this here,I knew it couldn't be entirely or LIB didn't really understand what he or she read before writing it on the blog,as happens with many bloggers in Nigeria who don't really understand what they read and thus give it an interpretation based on their shallow understanding.
This policy will affect less than 100,some even say 25 people and is clearly not what LIB understood it to mean.

It's obvious you did not read the write up.you just need to wait in the country for more 6wks.coz some Nigerian will go a and give birth without paying the hospital and run back to Nigeria.only for government to use tax payer money to foot the bills.so if you can't afford it .pls stay in Nigeria and stop giving us bad name.

No, it is only if the child is adopted from another country that they have to register him for citizenship when he is 18. There was a lot of confusion about that, but they later came out to clarify.

Some European countries have this laws too ,so i dont see the fuss. And as for those running to give birth in the US, market don spoil o.
market will surely spoil? but are u aware dat 9ja people don't just travel to USA to give birth but to also secure the child further, there are other countries who might not have it all like d USA but I will still prefer to give birth there even in d coldest part of the world I will still prefer it,as far d child doesn't have d mark of a nigeria, 9ja economy isn't just improving at all dats y u see people running away,

if the economy was good I don't see d like of davido going outside d country to give birth or him been a citizen of canada

Tells you how reactive this policy is.
MC Olomo, the tout, sees a runs girls coming back from night shift around oshodi. One thing leads to another....brah gets her number. Before Linda Ikeji hears the gossip, runs girl is pregnant..
Since pepper rest wella, just like Linda Ikeji, this MC's runs girl travels to USA to " offload". Spends 3 months in Yankee, make the baby pick up enough Yankee crying accent grin. She comes back with the bundle of joy a US citizen.....simples
Jean Cox, a military personnel is going to have lunch with Emily Shandy, wife of a US diplomat serving in Iraq. They are both pregnant......expecting to give birth same month.
Long story short, these ones must still know that their babies ain't citizen of the country they are risking their lives for.
And yes Trump, an immigrant married to an immigrant " former runz girl cum model/ page 3 girl", must be commende for this policy.....how about that!

You got it right. However Linda didn't get the full scope of the policy.

Donald Trump is simply going crazy. How csn an American's child no longer be allowed to identify with his people? Even the service men who are defending their father land at war fronts? What wrong with Donald Trump. What goes around comes around.

This man and baba go slow are they related? They seem to enjoy seeing people sad.

The policy said some.. The key word is some American citizens.. It will certainly now apply to service men defending their land at war fronts or other diplomatic envoys
