Type of Citizenship

1. Citizenship by birth: this is the situation whereby the parents of the person are
   natives in the country or a person born by citizens of a country. For example; a child born by Nigerian parents automatically becomes a Nigerian by birth.2. Citizenship by registration or marriage: this occurs when Nigerian male marries for example a Briton (a British) woman. The woman automatically becomes a citizen of Nigerian through registration of marriage.3. Citizenship by nationalization: this happens when an alien or a foreigner becomes a
   citizen of another country having fulfilled and satisfied the countries conditions to
   acquire the citizen of that country as laid down by the constitution of that country. It is a process by which an individual voluntary changes his/her citizenship of a state to that of another in which he or she resides. Some of the conditions that an alien of another country must fulfil are: as follow;

   * Applicant must be an adult acceptable in the community.
   *  Applicant must be of good character
   * Applicant must swear an oath of allegiance
   *.  Applicant must be able and have been contributing to community and national development and growth.
   * Applicant must have been residing in a particular community in that country for
   specific period of time.

   4. Honorary citizenship: from time to time the  government of a country have been
   honouring distinguished or important person or eminent person with citizenship of that country. For example such icon figures in Nigeria like: Sir Ahmadu Bello, Nnamdi
   Azikwe, Chief Obafemi Awolowo have been honoured with citizenship of other countries of the world.

   5. Citizenship by blood ties or decent: citizenship pf a country is also acquired through blood ties. This means that the, fact that a child was born in a particular
   community in the country does not necessarily confer the status of the
   citizenship on that person.
