2 helpfulA Nigerian can lose their citizenship in a relatively shorter term through the following four ways:
- Voluntary Acquisition of Another Citizenship (for citizens by birth): A Nigerian citizen by birth who voluntarily acquires the citizenship of another country (other than by marriage) automatically ceases to be a Nigerian citizen from the date of acquiring the new citizenship.
- Formal Renunciation: Any Nigerian citizen of full age and capacity who is also a citizen of another country can make a formal declaration renouncing their Nigerian citizenship. This is a direct, voluntary act.
- Deprivation for Fraud or False Representation (for citizens by registration or naturalization): If it is discovered that a person obtained Nigerian citizenship by registration or naturalization through fraud, false representation, or concealment of material facts, their citizenship can be revoked.
- Deprivation for Disloyalty (for citizens by registration or naturalization): A citizen by registration or naturalization can be deprived of their citizenship if they have shown disloyalty to Nigeria, such as by trading with an enemy country during a war in which Nigeria is engaged.
