He's threatening the Minister as usual, that guy will never stop being arrogant and stupid at the same time.


Meanwhile, Tinubu they call Criminal has never been detained anywhere in the world, those who call him criminal are the ones being detained and deported from London, Zimbabwe etc.

I have said it times without number.. Anything you see ipob/obidients accuse you of, just know that is what they are doing.. Go and verify...

Iamgrey5:
The country is stating that you need a visa to get permission into their country.

You are claiming you know more than the officials of the country.

Weren't you claiming earlier that you were rejected entry because you are Nigerian, whereas you were rejected entry because you are a refugee from Ghana.

Are u surprised? He is an obidient, it is their way.. Is that not how they used their hand to judge presidential petition and gave judgment.. Now forcing judiciary to implement their judgment.. Only obi people are that Sense less

fadsam:
See brain of a perceived nigerian youth, calling renowned successful men failures because of bigotry and sentiment.
Tinbu- formal senator and governor, president
Atiku- won adamawa guber & became vp
Obi- bank ceo & governor
Not even putting their private accomplishments into perspective ooo, all 3 are billionaires
All has been in power since inception of democracy

But ur irrational brain Buhari is a failure abi? Ur obi no even fit achieve wetin Buhari has achieved..

biremi:
Let's be rational here
Alot of Nigerians don't even have passport
By this your reasoning, it means they are stateless
Or that all Nigerians with an expired passport have become stateless if they don't have dual nationality
But if those without passports are still Nigerians within Nigeria and those with passports outside Nigeria are still Nigerians even if their passports expires; then the SAN"s argument is faulty and even ridiculous coming from a SAN

If you have a Nigerian passport, once it expires.. does that invalidate your Nigerian citizenship?

Similarly, if you have an American Passport or a British passport, if your passport expires, does that mean your U.S citizenship or your British citizenship have been invalidated?[/quote]How do we know u r truely a citizen. You dont know expiration and renewal is also a control mechanism, to check if the use of a passport is according to stipulated regulations? .. To see if people who claim to hold a passport (citizenship) actually deserves to (are citizens) ?
Is a form of citizenship verification...

Citizenship is a status, a status is also an identity so therefore citizenship is and identity.. Every claim of identity must be substanciated and verifiable.. This done only with verifiable documentation eg Passport, certificate of alligence, naturalization etc or A written verification from relevant authorities..

There are so many people in Nigeria so everyone who claims to be Nigerian is Nigeria n?

If you claim or say ur name is Mr Emeka Obi.. Yes that might be you but anything official u must substanciate it.. If u cannot sorry you might be the person but no one will take you seriously eg.. Banks, immigration, airport, Embassy etc if u go to embassy with expired passport, the see u r the same person, name is same everything nationality same why dont they attend to u? It is because your prove or claim is not valid=0... Even the issuing authority has little regard for an expired document it issued.


If for example u r in unilag for a 4 year course and was issued anId valid for 2 years.. and ur student id expires, r u not still the same person, the same admission is it not still vallid but unilag who issued u that id wont even allow say into any event where an identification card is required... Why because Admission is a status just like citizenship which requires verification... U could jave been expelled.

I am a not a supporter of anyone but cannot stand stupidity when I see it

When you become a citizen of a country, you swear allegiance and are given a document/papers certifying your citizenship. In order to no longer be a citizen, you need to formally renounce citizenship upon which your citizenship would be revoked and documentation evidencing that is provided.

A passport is a travel document, which while indicating citizenship is used strictly for travel purposes. So a passport validity has nothing to do with citizenship. Your passport can expire, your citizenship remains. You can only get a passport based on your citizenship documents, but expiration of passport does not indicate expiration of citizenship.

Please, learn and stop spreading ignore. It is very annoying.

Illiterates claiming learned

Ebony2King:
Stop sounding stupid pls. Apart from a passport there are other documents from court and the embassy that makes u a citizen. The passport is just one tender that clears u for travel as a citizen of a country

U agbado people should not think we are all stupid like u all

Then present it and stop hyperventilating over an expired passport. An expired passport is not proof of citizenship

You are about to set the nation on fire if tribunal fails to do the right thing

Even Tinubu knows it that tribunal will sack him

You know what I'm loving right now the suffering and shege we are experiencing

If you ever render help or assistance to any beggar on your street then you must be very stupid

Because that beggar will still step into the polling unit with sentiments and tribalism when he or she got another opportunity to vote

Point at beggars but u believe u have no part in destruction of Nigeria even the yahoo u dey do.. Damn nighar.. U r not a real niggar..

GCSolutions:
I don't always comment on nairaland but I think some people need to be enlightened.
Certificate of citizenship or naturalization to a country doesn't ever expire, and it is the ultimate proof of citizenship, whether through immigration, by birth etc. Passport is just a document to travel around and show to people that you are a citizen of a certain country. Yes, passports expire and has to be renewed but Certificate of citizenship doesn't. If my US passport expires, it doesn't take away my citizenship. Revocation of Certificate of citizenship is the only reason you can lose citizenship. So please get the facts right. If you are a Nigerian and you have an expired passport, you can prove your citizenship through other means, including your NIN, driver's license and other nationally recognized documents. I hope this throws light into the discussion. Woke Olanipekun is either naive or playing on the intelligence of Nigerians because he knows alot of people don't have the right information.

Show us tinubu certificate of citizenship in guinea that is the koko.. Now u want to use angle because u have understood the argue.. The certificate has no expiration.. So presenting it anytime is proof.. Passport is a no no.. They presented an expired guinea passport and i am letting u know it holds no water..

Badgers14:
Focus on the topic and don't attack the speaker..

Research, "meta-arguments".

However LP and PDP got a copy of Tinubu's passport was not debated.. Tinubu's lawyer is not even disputing the authenticity of the passport..

His argument is not that the passport is fake but that the said passport is expired.

Stop lying it was a copy of an expired passport which is my point.. So u dont even know crux of the matter and u jumped.. Tinubu lawyer does not have to defend anything because the expired passport is like tissues paper before the court.. It is expired mean invalid mean not existing.. Obidients must everything be spelt out for u people.. Carry expired passport to embassy na... After all u r the same person, ur nationality didn't change.. Una ho just dey argue without reasoning..

juliuscaesar:
So, if your Nigerian passport expires, you are no longer a Nigerian citizen? Naija suppose get their own show for Netflix.

dont be myopic.. How do u tell in Nigeria then some from rivers or kano? Someone from chad or ghana in Nigeria.. Obidients and critical thinking.. They haven't still figured out that citizenship is an identity.. Something i have been trying to let u know.. You are yourself anywhere u go but without a valid id ur claim to being u hold no water.. I dont know if tgey will break your heads to insert AI to help u guys think..

Badgers14:


You see, Tinubu's case is quite unique.. even if anyone loves Tinubu, his case is very tricky to defend.

First, according to the posts here in Nairaland, Tinubu's lawyer was not denying that his client ever held a Guinea passport, he is saying since his passport expired, he is no longer a citizen of that country.

And you are RIGHT by asking where is his renunciation??

Ones citizenship is not solely determined by whether they have a passport or not.. there many Nigerians that do not have a passport. That doesn't mean they are not Nigerians.

Obidient i have told u people to have sense .. Burden of proof lies with accuser.. You have to prove is Guinean... The lawyer knows that is a herculean task for tha accuser why bother? You want him to help pdp? He might actually be cos me sef dont know but a court is a place of evidence... You have proof what u claim.. An expired passport is invalid and holds no water anywhere..

Parrot69:
Try to have sense. Tinubu is a dual citizenship. If he wants to go to Guinea from any Nigerian airport, he doesn't have to have any written documents. Based on the fact:
1. Ecowas Passport. Visa free or Visa grant at the Port of entry.
2. Since he's a Nigerian citizen and holds a Nigerian Passport at Port of Exit, and also present his Guinean passport as his next destination or Port of arrival, he is free to leave.
Once he lands in Guinea, all he needs to do is to show his Guinean passport at the Port of entrance( whether invalid or not) to confirm his citizenship for him to enter.
NOTE: This is only applicable between the two countries.
Furthermore, assuming he was in Cameroun or Ghana and wants to travel to Guinea with his "expired passport" all he needs to do is to go to the Guinean embassy in Ghana or Cameroun or whatsoever country he is residing for documentation that will enable him exit the airport of that country to Guinea.

Obidient are Obi supporters no critical thinking.. Show us a valid Guinea passport then.. Abi u still dey mumu

Calitoscassius:
You sound really stupeed! infact. You are stupeed!

What about citizens who has no passports does that mean they aliens? Not a citizen of their country? you are ridiculously moronic!

Dunce oya tell us how u differentiate Nigerians in the north from nigeriens if not for documentation... Ewu gambia

etrange:
Please, let's not allow politics make us sound dumb. Passport is a traveling document that allows you to enter the country freely. It can also serve as a valid proof of citizenship. However, the expiration of one's passport does not imply they're no longer a citizen of the said country. Citizenship does not have an expiry date. It's not something you renew periodically like a passport. When you're made a citizen, you take an oath of citizenship in the presence of a judge. You're issued a certificate of citizenship and your name is captured in the database. It is with this certificate that you can apply for a passport. Applying for a passport is necessary as it ensures free movement and can also be used as a piece of identification, but it is not mandatory for a citizen to have one. Therefore, like I earlier said, the expiration of your passport doesn't terminate your citizenship.

Any educated person knows this. Why let these politicians play on our intelligence? Let's support whoever we want to support, but let's not degenerate into total absurdity in the process.

Passport is not only a travelling document.. It is a means of identification.. In Nigeria we have so many Nigerians without passport it doesn't stop them being Nigerians.. But when it becomes official to prove a citizenship requires documentary evidence. There are Ghanaians, chadians etc in Nigeria how do u differentiate without documentary evidence.. An expired passport is in no way proof of citizenship... If so why will for example in Germany an asylum seekers must present a valid passport for tge authority to deal with you.. Are u not still a citizen of Nigeria, did the citizenship expire with passport.. Why insist on you providing a valid document? Now this is a law court, where d burden of proof lies on the accuser,,you are saying someone is a citizen of a country and u brought an expired passport and say it is your proof the person is a citizen of that country..

If i am a student of unilag and we have maybe problem and u are accusing me saying i am a student of unilag and we land in court.. I say i am not a student of unilag(maybe i am or even maybe not) you now brought an expired student id as proof.. What if i was rusticated? What i telling is in a law court that expired passport is like tissue paper, it is not.. It hold no water. The statement the citizenship expires means i believe he is saying without documentary evidence citizenship cannot be determined.. Which is a fact

So where is Tinubus certificate of citizenship? You know all this processes and you people are supporting saying he has Guinean citizenship, which one of the above mentioned have seen.. As i said an expired passport is invalid..

Badgers14:
That's not the way it works.

So if someone's Nigeria passport expires, does that mean they are no longer a Nigerian citizens??

Their is a different process to give up citizenship, it is through renunciation.. somewhat lengthy process depending on the country.

Mr. Wole Olanipekun SAN is just ridiculing himself by that statement..

People let's not be blinded by our political support, the statement by Tinubu's lawyer if admitted by the court can cause chaos in the Nigeria.

Renunciation of citizenship costs money and its lengthy process... so if the court accepts Mr. Olanipekun's submission.. then once anyone's Nigerian passport expired, they can just declare they are no longer a Nigerian citizen..

Olanipeku knows exactly what he is saying.. He is telling that that passport is invalid which turns to the case from pdp into hear say. just like me here now saying u r a Cameroonian.. So it is word of mouth the onus noe falls on me to prove my accusation.

Good now u r talking.. Can ushow us Tinubu oath of alligence or renunciation.in fact why should Tinubu help u in a case the burden lies with u. ..

There are many chadians in Nigeria, malians and other countries.. How do u determine who is Nigerian? U must present documentary evidence.. That is my point.. Presenting and expired passport that is invalid is same as present tissue paper in court.. Do u get it now...

sexyking1:
Presenting your expired passport is enough to send you to your country. Even an ID card is enough. I don't know if you have travelled, but I'm telling you this out of experience.

I am telling out of my own experience.. I had to get letter from 9ja botschaft in Berlin..

Again my point a passport has expiration for several reasons.. Of which one of it is the control falsification, impersonation etc.. If a citizenship is withdrawn and i keep the passport after claiming lost.. Expiration and Renewal is the control mechanism to weed me out of the system.. So again an expired passport is mo form of identification.. Ithat it is obtainable on Nigeria doesn't make in the way it worls woth sane people.. If u claim u have travelled u should know what i am talking about. Can u present an expired id card or passport abroad.. Mr traveller?

sexyking1:
No country can Bar you from traveling to your parent country, unless you committed a crime in their country and needed to serve a jail term. With expired passport, you can travel to ur own country.

You have first proof u r the citizen of the country first.. And that involves presentation of valid documents oga..

akezn:
And you will no longer be a Nigerian until you renew your passport?

So what if you are not a nigerian does having an expired passport confer Nigerian citizenship on u?
You are a Nigerian right? How do u prove it cos as it is even chad people are in Nigeria.. You saying u r Nigeria is word of mouth.. Every citizenship (u be truely) but still needs documentary evidence..
