Na joke I dey sha. More of a globe trotter wannabe and even a green card can't hold me down.

One of my guys that enlisted into the ROTC air force division was told that he has to renounce his Nigerian citizenship. Ain't there a way to go around that clause?

I don't know much about military but it's part of their rites to accept U.S citizenship after the basic military training. That means officially you're property of U.S and not Nigeria. That doesn't mean you're not a Nigerian since by birth you're made in Nigeria. If I would have to join the armed force, I will first get a degree in medical field and join the airforce reserve or vice versa.

No way, you can't be in U.S. Military and hold dual citizenship, they do not only want confused people, also people who cannot pledge allegiance. I have a friend who just went in for his training (US navy), he was formerly a commissioned officer (DSSC) in the Nigerian Navy before he came to US and got married here.

I asked this question on my own thread but haven't received any response yet. This is the exact question below. Hope someone talks to me :

" I want to study in the US but I'm in dilemma as to which course (major) I'm to study that would be beneficial when I come back here to Nigeria. I wanted to study Psychology but from the reviews from American students and graduates, they say Psychology isn't a very good major in USA owing to the fact that it has one of the lowest paid salaries and high unemployment rate. Can a Psychology degree be useful in Nigeria for me? If not, what course would you advise me to study that would have a high ROI?
Note : I don't think I can do any Engineering"

Forget psychology for now. As an international student, it doesn't benefit u here or in naija. Psychology isn't developed in Nigeria, and we still have a long way to go. Get a degree that will increase your chances of staying here if that's what you want. Think IT, speech pathology, physical therapy, etc. if psychology is your passion, focus on a degree in healthcare that's more beneficial to you right now. When you finally get your bearing or start processing your papers, you can apply to a grad school and get your psychology doctorate. Just remember to take psychology courses along the way. Best of luck dear!

Not entirely true. The only thing done officially is to pledge allegiance to the US. Even civilians do that during citizenship ceremony. Your dual citizenship might not be recognized, but nobody officially takes it away from you. Your foreign passport remains yours, and your foreign documents remain valid.

Nothing is ever good enough. It depends on the individual. It's a good way to start though. I think the average is about 70k/year. We all have to start from somewhere.

It Baffles me to see posts like this, If you dont know, just Forward it to the best person who may know, Snazzygirl, I will tell you today, That In the Entire Social Sciences, There is no course as divergent as Psychology, say what you know.
Psychology penetrates the entire professional field you can ever mention, Police , Lawyer, Industries, Consulate, Transport company, just mention any job you know , i will tell you the psychologists there in, That Nigerians don't do it doesn't mean there are no Nigerians Doing it, Go to Nigerian Foreign affairs, without psychology as a second degree,(if you have an earlier degree apart from psychology) you cant make a promotion higher than an assistant of any department, Psychology in the United states is a mandatory almost In every midwifery and Nursing department, Psychology, a Masterpiece in Expertise, If you wanna get ahead in that job of yours, Just try getting psychology as a second degree if you have one or a first and try adding a certification, That is what we call expatriates in Nigeria.

I doubt. My guy that recently enlisted told me that he was explicitly told that in the fullness of time he would have to renounce his citizenship of Nigeria.

I was wondering the possibility and why the issue came up in the first place if it was nothing serious. I need more clarification going by that forum. The word "might" in your post shows there are instances where it is recognized.
