September 15, 2022Out of the 286 foreign nationals presented with certificates of Nigerian Citizenship on Thursday, 208 received certificates for Naturalisation while 78 got certificates by Registration, PUNCH reports.

Presenting the foreign nationals with the citizenship certificates at the State House in Abuja, President Muhammadu Buhari said, “You have pledged your allegiance to Nigeria. When you give your love and loyalty to Nigeria, she returns her love and loyalty to you.” He therefore reminded the new citizens that Nigeria was a nation united by the principles of opportunity, equality and liberty as enshrined in the Constitution.

“All those concerned with Immigration matters are to offer our new citizens quick legal identification. Also, their Local Governments should assist with their integration in the local community to enable them enjoy all the entitlements of a Nigerian citizen.”

The only question I ask is, Did they conduct background checks on them, get their biometric data or someone just made a phone call and that's it?

Just imagine, more are physically challenged, and or over 70years while others countries consider age limit and bracket as a criteria,

Citizen what now? Dem dey use visa come naija

The only solution is DISINTEGRATION Referendum not ELECTION, One-Nigeria can not work even in trillion years to come, know this and know peace, freeNnamdikanu Biafraexit

These guys conferred with Nigerian citizenship are likely to be the curvature of stealing the country's minerals because l can't see any foreigner wanting to belong to a country where its citizens are running out in thousands daily to avoid being kidnapped or killed anytime.

THESE ARE HIRED SPECIALISTS TO DO THEIR DIRTY JOBS FOR THEM, AGAINST THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLE IN NIGERIA.

If almost 300 millions Nigerias could have their ways they'll charge citizenship. They can't be deceived anymore

Only in Nigeria do foreigners take picture with the president when they get citizenship. Only God knows which kind citizenship be that
