It’s not about how he sees himself ! It’s about who the govt recognizes him as! He is not a citizen !!! Passport are for travels, true! But it’s also an identity carrier! You are a citizen of any country you possess their passport! And as an immigrant who came into the country for over 4 decades, if he doesn’t have his passport, then he’s just An African immigrant who resides there!
Please I'm tired of unnecessary arguments. Go back to the original post I quoted and understand the context of my submission. Don't just create a context that suits you. A context already exists. The original person I quoted asked "if you don't have a passport of the country, how do you claim to be a citizen?'

Which I answered most citizens do not have passports.

It's pretty straightforward.

Kellie069:
Not for an immigrant!!! After spending the required years and meeting the citizenship requirements, you are to apply for citizenship and when you pass, then you become a passport holder, which makes you a citizen of that country!
In this scenario though, we don't have an individual who sees himself as an immigrant. He sees himself as a citizen. Back to the post you quoted. Most citizens of any given country do not have passports. They only get it when they need to travel.

but he is obviously not a British citizen. He's ghanaian, he should visit ghanaian embassy.
He is a Ghanian citizen who for the last 30 years or more believed he was a British citizen.

ASSUMPTION is a very bad thing for one to rely his or her existence on.

He assumed he's a citizen already since he wasn't disturbed.

That's not how the law works, but he could be exempted since he was a senior citizen
Yes. He had also married a British citizen twice, gave birth to kids too. He took things for granted.

He is an immigrant who left Ghana for the UK over four decades ago, he wasn't born in the UK. You don't need to apply for a passport if you're are born in the UK until you want to travel out of the UK, and you must have lived in the UK continuously for nothing less than seven years before you can have a British passport. But in his own case, as an immigrant, once you have stayed in the UK ( on a sponsorship visa ) for five years, you'll have to apply for indefinite leave to remain (ILR) and after that you are qualify to apply for a citizenship. Irrespective of your immigration status in the UK, you have to follow the due process.
he didn't that in his earlier years, managed to live in the UK without problems, married a British woman without problems, was involved with police and even awarded, married a second British woman. He never needed the passport. The reason he applied was because he wanted to travel. If not, he had taken it for granted that having married a citizen, given birth to British children, UK was his home.

Should he have applied for a passport or even citizenship earlier? Yes. He was however not in a situation where he needed to.

But if you don’t have a passport of a country, then how do you claim to be a citizen?? You can reside and work in a country and enjoy every benefit that citizens enjoy but that doesn’t make you a citizen! For more than 40years, you didnt apply for passport because you thought it was your country, when nor be say na there dem for born you! You are an immigrant that has stay and work permit! That’s all
Most citizens of any given country don't have passports. People only apply for passport when they want to travel. Having a passport is not a requirement for citizenship. It is a requirement for travel though.

Just read the responses from majority of the comments here and see how easy it is to brainwash nairalanders. They never read thoroughly, they never question the authenticity of whatever headlines they read. Once they see a headline, they enter into their emotions immediately.

Thanks, Doyin, for this constructive criticism. Indeed, l wonder what the amended mention in the death toll is supposed to mean. Does it change the fact that several innocent lives were killed? It's sad seeing Hunan beings thinking like animals... A death of a smaller percentage of innocent lives is a death number too many. #nomorewar...


Nothing can mask the fact of genocide committed by the Israeli( IDF) terrorist group.

I wonder what reduction in highly debatable statistics ,would do to diminish the fact that Israel is illegally occupying lands and territories ,via unprecedented terrorism.

A terrorist calling a resistant group ,terrorists.
You drove people away from their place of birth and expect no resistance and stupidly call theterroristsst.


The Israelis are the real terrorists.

There is no amendment in the death toll. Don't fall for it.

Below is the reason for the other figures. Confirmed identities us the 'revised numbers'. Total deaths is the same.

HAMAS resistance exposing Israeli atrocities in the only open prison community on the surface of earth.

There may be more to the discrepancies of the figures from Gaza and the UN. This type of downward revision of figures is uncommon in the UN.
Remember that a Nigerian woman is the Deputy Secretary General of the UN.
Below is the reason for the other figures. Confirmed identities is the 'revised numbers'. The Total deaths remains the same. Fox news is a propaganda channel and is pro Israel. What do you expect?

Why is it so hard for Nigerians to read & even do a bit of research.


The death toll wasn't reversed, it just being rolled back to death bodies THAT CAN ACTUALLY BE CONFIRMED, RETRIEVED & IDENTIFIED.

THIS EXCLUDES unrecovered dead bodeis, those buried under rubbles & body parts that nobody can identified due to lack of family members
Nigerians are easily brainwashed. You can see it through different topics that hit front page in nairaland. Often times because news writers write with an agenda in mind, the headlines often differ from the body. Most people here however do not read beyond the headlines or the first few lines. They do not know to always cross check stories from other sources. They read partial stories and consider themselves informed. I wonder why anyone will read from fox news and consider themselves fully informed.

The UN has stated as you said, the figures for the total deaths tolls remain the same. Only the confirmed identities were revised. Most people here will however not know that because they have been waiting for that small news that will discredit the UN wether true or not.

The Us call the shots truly but we have to learn to search further than whatever headlines are presented to us.

In a more recent news, The UN has expressed that the total deaths toll has not actually changed. Below is the reason for the other figures. Confirmed identities is the 'revised numbers'. Total deaths is the same.

Fox news is actually pro Israel and will definitely post news in a way that discredits The UN.

shocked It's crucial to acknowledge and scrutinize changes in reported figures, especially concerning sensitive matters like the death toll in conflict zones. While adjustments may occur due to ongoing investigations or improved data collection methods, transparency and accountability remain paramount. This reversal underscores the complexity of documenting casualties in conflict and emphasizes the importance of robust, impartial investigations to ensure accurate reporting and justice for all affected parties.

Because usually they don't plan to cry. The tears come while explaining the burdens of their heart.
