This can only be done in Nigeria, that is the information from Nigerian Embassy in Berlin. If it is contested in the court of law, what that person did is fraudulent.

One of the main reason Germans allow Nigerians the privileged is because of the technicality involve. Did you read the other part where it was written, that a citizen of Nigeria by birth may not renounce his Nigerian citizenship, being that he is allowed, under Nigerian Law, to acquire the citizenship or nationality of a second country, without the necessity to renounce the citizenship of the country of his/her birth (Nigeria).

Take note of MAY NOT, renouncing is not as easy as you may see it. you don't just fill a form and swear an affidavit that you are no longer Nigerian and then it get simply approved. Germans are aware of this, that is why Nigeria is included in the list of dual citizenship.

My guy may not is not the same as can not. May not simply means u av a choice not to but if u insist u want to, dia is no law anywhere to stop u so far u are above 18 years old. I am not saying it is easy as ABC but my point is contrary to wat eke said, it is possible. And mind u, of all d foreign embassy of Nigeria that I checked, only Germany says u av to go to Nigeria to do it. Others simply requires u to fill forms , pay the fees, submit ur nigerian passport and wait till dey get back to u.

The ist page of d Nigerian passport says it is issued by d president but u and I know d president does not even see it when u get it. It is just a mere declaration in d name of d President d same as renouncing it will be a declaration in the name of the president.

http://ireport.cnn.com/docs/DOC-1271619 that link is the story of a woman who renounced her Nigerian citizenship and nothing happened. So if any one wants to, it is doable. I rest my case

I dont know d law u are quoting or incidence u are mentioning but wat I just know is that I know a Nigerian here married to a German who renounced is Nigerian citizenship. He has being here even before I was born and had both Nigerian and German passport but according to him, he does not see the benefit of having the Nigerian passport cus wen he travelled sumwia and had issues, it was d German embassy there that stood up for him and d German passport gives him more travel freedom and protection. So the man went to Berlin and renounced.even when he goes to Nigeria, he travels as a German with his German pass and prefers to apply for a Nigerian visa wen going home.

Now to the law you are referring to, I will attach infos from various Nigerian embassies

RENUNCIATION OF NIGERIAN CITIZENSHIP

The Embassy of the Federal Republic of Nigeria wishes to inform all prospective applicants who desire to renounce their Nigerian citizenship that the power to approve renunciation of Nigerian citizenship or restoration of same is the sole prerogative of Mr. President, as enshrined in Chapter III, Article 29, sub. Section 1-2, of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (1999).

Kindly note, therefore, that such powers are NOT TRANSFERABLE and that the process can only be carried out in Nigeria.

Furthermore, please be informed that a citizen of Nigeria by birth may not renounce his Nigerian citizenship, being that he is allowed, under Nigerian Law, to acquire the citizenship or nationality of a second country, without the necessity to renounce the citizenship of the country of his/her birth (Nigeria).

Embassy of Nigeria,
Berlin, Germany

The law says may not and not can not.

Nigeria Edit
The right to renounce Nigerian citizenship is established in § 29 of the 1999 Constitution of Nigeria, which states that "any citizen of Nigeria of full age who wishes to renounce his/her Nigerian citizenship shall make a declaration in the prescribed manner for the renunciation", which the government is obliged to register except when Nigeria is physically involved in a war or when the President of Nigeria is of the opinion that the renunciation is contrary to public policy. - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renunciation_of_citizenship


From all the fore going sir eke, I put it to u that u are wrong on ur conclusion and I can renounce my Nigerian citizenship if I want to. Though I love my green pali sha
Okay, noted, my statement should have been thus:
You cant renounce your citizenship outside of Nigeria if you were born a Nigerian, either way, the embassy issuing your uncle/friend the letter was illegal. He could still hold that as an alibi if he still wishes to regain his Nigerian citizenship.
The German government gave Nigeria and some other country the waiver because "the renunciation process is too difficult, humiliating or expensive".
The true story he probably had kept back was that he actually had to give up his citizenship whichever way because the waiver we enjoy now with the German government didn't exist at that time or else he wouldn't go through the stress of traveling miles to Berlin and spending so much at the same time to renounce his citizenship when he can have the two. The rest of his whines sounds like a consolatory ballad.
No mind me sha grin grin
How you dey na?

University of Duisburg-Essen, in June this year gave me a conditional admission for study place (Master Program in Environmental Toxicology)... on a condition to write IELTS or TOEFL and send the result before Sept 15(next month) in order to get the authentic admission letter. I wrote to them that I had all my education in English Language and in fact English is the official language of administration in Nigeria. I asked to produce a Proficiency Letter from my ex-University, they declined. They said IELTS/TOEFL or nothing. Ok then, I bone them because I have other admission letters.
But to my surprise this morning, I received this message.

Dear Dennis,
 
The faculty agreed to accept the fact that English is the official language in Nigeria and says that it is okay as an English proof. Please find attached your admission letter for the winter semester 2016/2017 for your further process.
