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 &quot;how nigerians think&quot; why don&#39;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.
