Charleys:
LoL if the law truly works then Lawan should be disqualified but I know all fingers are equal but some are more equal than the other.

Was I there when they swore allegiance to other countries?

helinues:
Na lie jor. This is Nigeria

Saraki also has dual citizenship..

drlateef:
Saraki has dual citizenship and he did his 4 years at senate.

helinues:
Na lie jor. This is Nigeria

Saraki also has dual citizenship..

Deepthoughts:
Is Atiku now not better by far to these people?,the US oath of allegiance clearly required one to renounce any previous allegiance meaning those with the US citizenship has ceased to be Nigerian completely,in fact anyone with a dual citizenship is a potential sabotuer of this country n should not hold any elective or public office at all.

omohlexy:
Wow! Good judgement! So it's only us that have remained in Naija since that will now be eligible to contest. Thank God I didn't travel to all these yeye countries to wash plates,do security work ,mortuary attendant and be taking pictures in front of borrow pose cars like most naija are doing. I wonder how some people subject themselves to second slavery. Those that are jobless like invictus are doing scam and peddling drugs. I love Naija abeg! I remain here. The white man will come and see me.

WonderManly:
Too long jor! I can't read this full long episode. Please, I need summary jare.

Susu888:



Yup! The usual blame it on Buhari scenario.

I am sure our ex senate president Bukola Saraki had a U.K citizenship and he was taken to court bcuz of it and yet still he presided over the senate. Are you trying to be a hypocrite about it now that its someone you dislike??

Double standards, we know ur type.

Majesticniyi:




You sir, don't have sense

tck2000:
I don't really understand this.Does it mean that a Nigerian who married an American an acquired a US citizenship cannot contest for The Nigerian Presidential Seat?

Timi1990:


Let demonstrate a scenario here ... Akin a Nigerian married Ashley an American in Lagos and they live in Lagos ; akin can contest for senate president or any position. Akin & Ashley are married and both lived in the USA , if Akin is just a Green card holder then Akin can contest for any political seat in Nigeria. Akin & Ashley are married and both lived in the USA , but akin applied for citizenship in the USA & was granted; then Akin won’t be able to contest in Nigeria. Thus, if Akin & Ashley have a baby boy named Tobi; if Tobi was born in either Nigeria or USA & held both Nigerian & USA passport then Tobi can be a senator in Nigeria & in the USA as well . Davido, Wale & jidenna are good example

Officialgarri:
Damn. Our politicians are so daring.

So you mean it is unconstitutional to own dual citizenship as a lawmaker, yet these guys didn't stop at being floor members, they had the guts to be house leaders.

And they would still buy their way out using the court that ought to uphold the law.

This is craziness and impunity.

madenigga:
let them sack them all. they have to decide either to renounce one amd accept the other or u loose the seat.

You cant be a citizen of another country while you rule us, then after you steal all our money and frustrate the future of Nigeria youths who have no other place to go, you run back to your other country why we continue to suffer here.

Nigerians are suffering, youths have taken to all manner of vices just to survive this harsh country, and people who are foreigners who don't have much to loose want to rule us.

We all die here together

Validated:

Could this be why you are still jobless? Make effort son!

isthatso:


Atiku is not better because Atiku is not even a Nigerian. Atiku is from Cameroun and he did not formally change his nationality and swear an oath of allegiance to Nigeria.

....technically speaking ofcourse.

…as tribunal sacks Ondo lawmaker with Nigeria - UK citizenship

miqos02:
Na wa oh, so all these politicians don't believe in the future of this country and some youths are ready to die for them.

jamace:
Nigerians over there will deal with them for us. The new movement of beating our political leaders and their children who go abroad for medication, schooling, shopping, holidaying etc, seems to be a good tonic to achieving the revolution we need in Nigeria.

Let the beating continue so that our leaders can fix Nigeria.

felaismyhero post:



yes we would.the day people like you decide to be in politics.





Nay bros, Nigerian politicians has make politics a dirty game.
My father got involved in politics just to make things right in our local government but the level of corruption, backstabbing, hatred for trying to do the right thing was too much. Let me not forget attempted assassination.

Deepthoughts:
Assuming without agreeing that what you claim I'd correct,did you know how the place Atiku came from became part of Nigeria n the legal implications of that process? then compare that to the situation of these sabotuers n see who is worse,I bet you will agree with me except if you are biased.

isthatso:






With regards to Senate president and Gbaja. Ofcourse from the point of view of eligibility to run for office, they are all not qualified to hold office and one could even say their cases are worse than Atiku because they have sworn an oath to another country. I was simply saying that from a point of view of citizenship (not eligibility to contest) Atiku was not born a Nigerian and never swore an oath of allegiance to Nigeria and only became a Nigerian by default.

Deepthoughts:
By law once there's a plebiscite n territories merge persons living in those new territories becomes citizens Wii all full rights, besides know it that not all part of adamawa state today we're formerly in Cameroon.

isthatso:


what is the relevance of what you just posted to our discussion? Is Atiku from ALL the parts of Adamawa or his own village? I said he didnt swear an oath of allegiance, you are talking about full rights? if you want to keep redefining the subject as you go along, feel free but dont bother quoring me.

Deepthoughts:
Apart from those in the security n other employments that may require it,do ordinary citizens just swear to oath of allegiance to the country just like that?,can you prove that Atiku did not swore to the oath of allegiance when he served in the custom service or as a vice president?,look directly speaking even if Atiku's village was formerly in Cameroon,once the plebiscite was conducted those whose areas were needed to Nigeria became full Nigerians like every other Nigerian n vice versa just as it's the case with bakasi,you may not support Atiku but stop spreading false information,I challo you to point out any section in the Constitution that make anyone from the 1961 plebiscite between Nigeria n Cameroun a lesser citizen with limited rights

isthatso:



Like i said please stop quoting me if you want to define the discussion as you go along. If you look at my original post you will see you have gone off course. Atiku is enjoying his money in Emirates hills dubai, I advise you to find something doing with your life and stop dragging topics on internet for days.
