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.

Kemi Badenoch owes Nigeria an apology for this brazen lie! What an embarrassment of a political prostitute she is. A parent who shamelessly weaponises her kids for political gain is a disgrace. Keep Nigeria out of your godforsaken mouth @KemiBadenoch! pic.twitter.com/Akukee7tkQ

Sorry, section C is standing on its own, and many people have attested to it.

Baxilexi:
‘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.

Your interpretation of that section is not very right. It is separated into three, and they are independently related.

(1) The following persons are citizens of Nigeria by birth-namely-

(a) every person born in Nigeria before the date of independence, either of whose parents or any of whose grandparents belongs or belonged to a community indigenous to Nigeria; Provided that a person shall not become a citizen of Nigeria by virtue of this section if neither of his parents nor any of his grandparents was born in Nigeria.
(b) every person born in Nigeria after the date of independence either of whose parents or any of whose grandparents is a citizen of Nigeria; and
(c) every person born outside Nigeria either of whose parents is a citizen of Nigeria.

Baxilexi:
Can someone attach a separate photo of the page of our constitution where it states the above from the presidential aide?

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.

Can you check section C of what you posted?

ANyone born outside Nigeria but any of whose parents is a Nigerian.

Iranians Displaced by Israeli Assault Unsure Whether to Return Home After Ceasefire
Airstrikes and displacement orders caused tens of thousands to flee Iran’s major cities.

Over two days last week, Sahar, a 40-year-old sociologist and researcher in central Tehran, drove more than 400 miles north to the city of Rasht in her white Peugeot 206 with her elderly mother in the passenger seat. They were hoping to escape Israel’s aerial bombardment that began without warning on June 13, but the explosions followed them across the provinces.

Sahar’s 70-year-old mother suffers from PTSD from the 1980s Iran-Iraq war, and from Sahar’s arrest and imprisonment during the 2009 popular uprising known as the Green Movement, sparked by a disputed presidential election.

“My mother’s doctor had told us we should keep her in a major city—she needs to be close to medical centers. So, at first, we decided to stay in Tehran. But after her panic attacks intensified, we decided to leave for Rasht, in northern Iran, on June 18. We went to stay at a friend’s home,” Sahar, who declined to give her full name out of fear for her safety, told Drop Site.

On the evening of June 20—their second night in Rasht—Israel struck the Sefid Rood area, close to where they were staying. “As the regime shut down the internet, we didn’t have access, and I couldn’t check the news. I didn’t know the city had been issued an evacuation warning. The sound was terrifying—I can’t even describe it. My mother had a breakdown. We rushed her to the hospital to get a sedative injection.”

The hospital was a scene of chaos and panic, Sahar said. “They gave my mother a sedative, and we immediately set out again, back to Tehran.” Yet when they arrived in the capital two days later, the Israeli aerial bombardment continued.

“On Sunday night, June 23, it all started again. It was horrifying, and it wouldn’t stop. It began at 2 a.m. I took my mom to the hospital at 6 in the morning, and they gave her another sedative. We managed to sleep for four hours. I woke up at 10 a.m.—it felt like the house was collapsing on top of me. They bombed all over Tehran. I counted 20 explosions. One was very close—near Ghasr Crossroads,” Sahar said.

The next day, she set out with her mother again, driving east from Tehran to Damavand—about 40 miles away—to stay in a rural village with acquaintances.

Forced From Home
Israel’s attack on Iran targeted nuclear facilities, senior Iranian officials and scientists as well as hospitals and residential areas, with substantial damage to civilian infrastructure. Iranian authorities said at least 400 people have been killed, with over 3,000 injured. Human rights organizations report a much higher death toll, with estimates of some 900 killed, including hundreds of civilians. Iranian counterstrikes on Israel have killed at least 24 people, according to Israeli authorities and injured over 1,200. The conflict escalated over the weekend, with the U.S. military striking nuclear facilities at Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan.

The attacks began on June 13 with a wave of Israeli bombings and assassinations carried out in major urban centers of Tehran. Along with numerous Iranian military commanders and scientists connected to its nuclear program, the attacks, some of which leveled entire apartment buildings, killed large numbers of civilians. Bombings which hit residential and commercial areas terrorized many Iranians, helping prompt an exodus among many who no longer felt safe in their city.

According to the governor of Tehran province, Israeli airstrikes have struck over 200 locations across the capital, destroying more than 120 homes. Beyond Tehran, civilian infrastructure across Iran—including medical facilities, schools, energy facilities, and government buildings—has also been severely damaged.

Israel has also issued displacement orders for large swathes of Tehran while President Trump in a social media post on June 16 urged “everyone…immediately evacuate Tehran,” a city of 10 million people.

The airstrikes and displacement orders caused tens of thousands to flee the major cities. Fuel shortages and no public shelters have left ordinary Iranians struggling to find safety. Meanwhile, Iran’s Ministry of Communications and Information Technology placed temporary restrictions on internet access and messaging apps throughout the country, compounding difficulties for people to coordinate movement or stay in touch with family members.

Amid the assault, informal networks of support have quickly sprung up.

“What struck me was people’s behavior. This time, it was different. I’ve never seen this much empathy and solidarity. We’ve experienced earthquakes, floods, and sanctions—but this time, it’s a war against our country and our people,” Sahar said, speaking about the road from Tehran to Rasht. “Taxis and private cars were taking passengers to safer provinces for free. Along the way, we saw so many banners offering free housing—really, so many.”

Hotels in Tehran and other cities are housing civilians free of charge. Families in Khuzestan—a province in the southwest of the country that borders Iraq —are opening their homes to people displaced from Tehran and Isfahan. Despite warnings from Turkey’s president about a potential wave of Iranian refugees to neighboring countries, there has not been a significant movement of people across the border. Meanwhile, Iranian expats living in places like Istanbul, Antalya, and Dubai have offered accommodations to stranded Iranian travelers.


Skeptical About Ceasefire
Tens of thousands of Iranians have already been forced to leave their homes, posting farewells with flowers, photos of their homes, and hopes to return safely.

“It felt like I was being dragged out of my home,” Maryam, a 35-year-old office manager, said, describing the night she finally decided to leave Tehran. When she decided to leave in a rush after Trump’s social media post, she laid out her clothes on the floor to decide what to take. “I felt like a bomb had gone off in my room. I didn’t take anything.”

At 2 a.m. on June 16, Maryam—who declined to give her last name in fear of her safety—fled the capital with her family. “We brought my aunt too. She’s alone—her children don’t live in Iran. Now, we’re five people under one roof in a northern town. We sat in traffic for 12 hours—normally, it takes five. Not for a vacation, not with excitement — just hopelessness and uncertainty,” she said.

On Tuesday, President Trump announced that a ceasefire between Iran and Israel was in effect after the deal was initially in question. Speaking to reporters on the White House lawn, Trump said he was frustrated with both sides but had particularly strong words for Tel Aviv. “I’m really unhappy” with Israel, he said.

Despite the news of a ceasefire, Maryam has opted to remain in northern Iran. “I don’t trust this ceasefire. When has Israel ever honored a ceasefire?” she said. “I’m relieved the war has stopped, and the killing of civilians and destruction of infrastructure has paused — but I’m also sad because I know it won’t last. I feel more unsettled than calm.”

To cope with the mass displacement, companies like Otaghak—Iran’s version of Airbnb—and other housing startups, started running a nationwide campaign to provide emergency accommodation.

“We’re working from 7 a.m. to 2 a.m. everyday to do our best to provide shelter for those under bombardment,” Amir Sheybani, CEO of Otaghak told Drop Site. “We’ve expanded our coverage in the northern provinces. Beyond our existing hosts, we’ve sent teams to the area to add more homes to the platform and ensure at least one safe place available for our fellow citizens during this difficult time.”

Another platform, Jabama, posted on Instagram: “Dear citizens, we provide emergency housing for those who have lost their homes, live in high-risk neighborhoods, or cannot return home. We’re here from 7 a.m. to 2 a.m. to offer free housing.” The post, published on June 15, quickly went viral, drawing thousands of responses.

Yet the scale of the aerial attack has left an indelible impact.

“While leaving Tehran—on our way out of the city — a bomb exploded beside us,” said Siavash, 33, a student and Tehran resident, now sheltering at a relative’s place in Damavand. “Your mind just cycles: ‘Where are my loved ones? How do I save them from this war?’ You hope for the impossible.”

Siavash also said he would not return home despite the news of the ceasefire. "We're still staying in Damavand—we don't trust returning to Tehran yet. My family and I keep checking the news.”

These days, most students don't take the time to read the topics in the syllabus thoroughly, but carry past questions to practice. They are always looking for the easy way out, perhaps, expecting repetition of questions.

You can't put the cart before the horse; read and understand the topic first, then practice with the past questions.

Perhaps I am wrong.

Vinicius Junior 'already knows' he's won 2024 Ballon d'Or with Nike planning special tribute that will put Real Madrid star alongside Cristiano Ronaldo

Vinicius Junior reportedly 'already knows' he's won the 2024 Ballon d'Or, with Nike planning a special tribute for the Real Madrid star.
WHAT HAPPENED?
According to Marca, Vinicius has been informed he will win his first Golden Ball at the 2024 awards ceremony in Paris on October 28. The Brazilian is set to beat Real Madrid team-mate Jude Bellingham and Manchester City star Rodri to the prestigious individual prize, which was won for a record-breaking eighth time by Lionel Messi in 2023.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
Marca adds that Vinicius Junior's boot sponsors Nike are planning a special tribute for the Real Madrid winger as they prepare to reopen their Gran Via superstore in Madrid two days after the Ballon d'Or ceremony. Vinicius will be included on a special golden display alongside Cristiano Ronaldo, who won four of his five Golden Balls while on Madrid's books.

DID YOU KNOW?
Vinicius Junior will be a deserving winner of the 2024 Ballon d'Or after inspiring Real Madrid's run to a La Liga and Champions League double last season. The Brazil international scored 24 goals, including one in the Champions League final win over Borussia Dortmund, and set up another 11 in 39 appearances across all competitions for Los Blancos.

WHAT NEXT FOR VINICIUS?
Vinicius' focus is currently locked on Real's next La Liga outing against Alaves at Santiago Bernabeu on Tuesday, where they will be seeking a victory to close the gap on leaders Barcelona. He already has six appearances under his belt in the Spanish top flight this season, in which he has registered five goal contributions while working alongside summer signing Kylian Mbappe.

I still want to advise that NFF should wait for at least 5 matches, so what wins at the national team level is the Manager's strategy and ability to break it down into tactics for each match.

I think Serezo is good but let's not jump into conclusion too early.

It is a frigging waste of time. The era of playing hard to get is gone. If u wan do, do and if u no wan do, just say it. It shows a level of maturity.
