The Meaning of Citizenship
Citizenship is the status of being a citizen. If you have the citizenship of a country, you have the right to live there, work, vote, and pay taxes. Citizenship comes from the Latin word for city, because in the earlier days of human governments, people identified themselves as belonging to cities rather than countries.
The Meaning of Citizen
A citizen is a legal member of a state with all full constitutional rights in the country in which he or she resides. The opposite of a citizen is an alien or a foreigner, which is someone who is a visitor where he or she lives or resides. Such a person only lives in that country with a visa or other permit.
The Means of Acquiring Citizenship
In a modern society, there are five main ways of acquiring citizenship namely:
(i) Citizenship by birth:
A child born in Nigeria by Nigerian parents automatically becomes a Nigerian by birth.
