WTF?<br /><br />Why not campaign for reciprocity in citizenship qualification. In other words Nigerians would have to be resident for 15 years in the UK before applying for citizenship and in terms of citizenship through marriage the UK would be sensitive to gender and niether the male nor female Nigerian spouses would be entitled to citizenship.<br /><br />I am sure no Nigerian would complain of the UK treating everybody equally?Anonymous[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8686769.post-24445175751376289472009-06-11T14:32:30.559+01:002009-06-11T14:32:30.559+01:00@reality check, international parental kidnapping ...@reality check, international parental kidnapping happens all over the world. http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/18/usc_sec_18_00001204----000-.html<br />this is a U.S. statute that attempts to address the issue.<br /><br />of course a mother can kidnap her own child, since the child belongs to the father as well. unless you are coming from the sexist position that children really belong to the mother and the dad is just an interloper? instead of throwing out some silly comment about "how nigerians think" why don't you educate yourself on the issue. <br /><br />if a woman takes her child to a foreign land, away from the father, it is kidnapping and a crime in many countries. there is a current case between a US man and one in brazil that stems from this issue. There was also the Cuba/US issue involving elian gonzalez a few ears agoAnonymous[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8686769.post-74598031533376366722009-06-11T13:29:10.282+01:002009-06-11T13:29:10.282+01:00Are you planning to be Nigerian...go back to Engla...Are you planning to be Nigerian...go back to England please we dont want racists like you pretending to love us when it is money and untapped opportunities you are really seeking.<br /><br />Please leave Nigeria you racist twat.sheik abdulahihttp://www.channelstv.com[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8686769.post-22740385842226329532009-06-11T09:05:14.868+01:002009-06-11T09:05:14.868+01:00I'd say, "not yet uhuru"

Your own day too will come. Say amen!!
Y...Jeremy,<br /><br />Your own day too will come. Say amen!!<br /><br />You can hasten the appearance of that day by following in the steps of Mrs Amadi. Just ask Oga Madam (Mrs Weate) to see her lawyers and set things in motion.<br /><br />These 2 paragraphs in the news report could be useful:<br /><br />1. "Iyalla-Amadi's counsel argued that the condition for issuance of passport to married women violates internationally-accepted standards of non-discrimination against women, which to Nigeria is a signatory."<br /><br />2"The judge observed from the wordings of the constitutional provisions in Sections 17 (1) (2) and 42 of the 1999 Constitution that all citizens of Nigeria are put on the same pedestal irrespective of sex and status."<br /><br />Bon chance!Dadehttp://www.foreignpolicyexchange.blogspot.com/[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8686769.post-45789243903705079102009-06-10T16:21:13.147+01:002009-06-10T16:21:13.147+01:00Agree with Annonymous @ 2:04.
