    Citizens by naturalization
  2. Citizens by birthCevap
  3. C
    Citizens by registration
  4. D
    Citizens holding dual citizenship

Cevap

Citizens by birth are constitutionally immune from deprivation of citizenship.
Under Section 30 of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, the power of the President to deprive an individual of Nigerian citizenship applies exclusively to citizens by registration and citizens by naturalization. A citizen by birth holds an absolute constitutional entitlement to their nationality that cannot be revoked or stripped away by executive or legislative authority.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the constitutional provisions governing the deprivation of citizenship.
Identified that Section 30 of the 1999 Constitution of Nigeria limits the executive power of citizenship deprivation strictly to registered and naturalized citizens.
Determining which categories of citizenship are subject to statutory revocation reveals which category is immune.
2
Differentiate the legal status of birth acquisition from registration and naturalization.
Citizenship by birth is an inalienable constitutional entitlement, whereas citizenship by registration or naturalization is a conditional grant subject to cancellation for disloyalty or serious criminal acts.
This legal distinction isolates citizens by birth as the sole group retaining complete immunity from deprivation.
