There is NO disadvantage to having a dual citizenship. (I hold 3 passports and have never felt a downside to that; quite the contrary!). Your arguments have little validity. How many people go into politics (0.01%?) or the military (1%?). You fail to mention that you can always renounce your second citizenship if it becomes a handicap. So, there’s no drawback. In your case, your dream of becoming a politician may, may never, materialise. But again, if it comes to it, all you’d have to do is to drop your British citizenship (which is not complicated at all) to shoot for President of Ghana, or whatever position you dream of. It happens all the time. Honestly, any African would be crazy to turn down a Western passport for any reason whatsoever.
Hi @mohameddabo6520. Pls I have always wanted to clarify is it possible to have 3 citizenship say Nigerian, British and Australian citizenship at the same time?
@@omololaokeadeola6161 There can be downsides to having dual nationality. For instance, If you hold an American passport, you’re liable to pay taxes in the US, whether you live in the US or not. This can mean you pay tax in 2 countries. Several other countries have similar provisions.
@@omololaokeadeola6161 You can have as many as you want. I have a Nigerian friend, who holds Panama, Nigeria, Britain, and St Kitts and Nivea passports. I'm aiming for 8 before I die. Have you heard of citizenship by ancestry? You're leaving a legacy for your younger generation.
I have dual Jamaican & US citizenships & now live in the UK working on getting my UK citizenship but considering renouncing my US citizenship once I get the UK one. When I travel to Jamaica or other Caribbean countries I use my Jamaican passport & I'll be using it when I travel to Ghana & other African countries in the future. For travelling to other European countries, back to the UK, or North America I just use my US passport.
I have Jamaican and UK. I know the British one us revered but I see more value in my Jamaican heritage and that passport means more to me. I have been in the UK for nearly 60 years and prefer to be a Jamaican than British. One thing is if UK ever wants to strip me of my UK citizenship, which they can, I have my privilege of a Jamaican passport from the land of my birth. Halleluia!
I have tri-citizenship, and can claim a 4th if I hand over €990 for the application fee, which I’d rather save for holidays. It’s always handy having multiple to enter different countries, especially those countries that have varying visa fees. For example, China. I used one of my passports which costed less than half for the Visa fee. It’s also very helpful for travelling and my channel. 🙈 Good luck getting your UK passport!! ☺️
@@hasinazuberi5115 I value my Jamaican passport the most as well but I live in the UK now & when I do move back to Jamaica in the further future not needing a visa to travel to many developed countries & having access to first world healthcare is a massive advantage
Great video and very informative. I have a UK passport and I'm applying for a GH one. It just makes it easier to get things done when I'm in Ghana as I'm legally accepted as a Ghanaian and have less hoops to jump through.
Taxation as a dual nationality particularly an American is a big issue, it was one of the reason Boris Johnson returned his American citizenship but overall its has to be weighed but for me I don't regret having both.
Nanaelle go for your British citizenship ignore Ghana politics is not wealth it got 8 British passport myself my husband and our six kids born here I don’t want anything to do with African politics
See how an imperialist is talking… you think the British started 60 years ago and made progress like this. The most corrupt humans are those who enslaved Africans. You are talking trash about African politicians. Never do that again because you know nothing about struggle for freedom. Stay there with your kids and enjoy the fruits of slavery money.

Plenty of Africans return their Western passport, all depends on your position and status in life. Most Western countries don't have tax treaties with African countries, you would have to pay the double taxes and later file a claim for refund. Africans get excited with foreign nationalities but don't understand the implications. If you have something good going for you in your country of birth you don't need the western passport.
I’m in the Navy, I joined as commonwealth citizen after completing my masters program. They don’t ask you to renounce your Ghanaian citizenship, you can keep both, but if you are only exempt visa holder or holds only Ghana passport, you can’t be an officer or submarine with your masters qualification, because I want to commission as officer I have now applied for my British passport.Get your passport and your future is secured okay. You can drop the British book when you decide to do Ghana politics. To me Ghana politics is not worth it get your passport and enjoy the goodies that it comes with my dear
Sister, I think John Mahama and the NDC have said that they will pass a law which allows individuals with dual citizenship to take up key roles and positions in Ghana.....
Which NDC? Are they not the same people who supervised the passage of the law that excludes a dual citizen to be elected into the higher position in office in Ghana? They simply did that to prevent those who sought political asylum abroad under their heinous revolutions from getting closer to the higher authority. So don’t fall for that trick.
Very good and informative video, first time coming across your channel. The identity conflict can be challenging. When people say where are you from, my default is the UK, my place of birth, no one can take that away from me. For administration purposes when attending certain imstituitions I say whatever country that I am residing "from". Some people like to connect me to Barbados.(my parents birthplace). I am not from there I was not born there and they would not recognize me I would have to apply for citizenship which is a process. Good luck in your political aspirations. I had a key role in politics and ran for office three times.. You have a new subscriber.. Salaam
I AM NIGERIAN, BRITISH AND A CANADIAN. THREE PASSPORTS FROM THREE CONTINENTS. HURRAY. HOW EVER IF YOU ARE BORN IN ANOTHER COUNTRY THAT IS AUTOMATIC DUA CITIZENSHIP AND IT DOESNT AFFECT YOU BECOMING ANYTHING IN YOUR COUNTRY. FORMER PRIME MINISTER BORIS JOHNSON WAS BORN IN AMERICA.
On paper, yes- In reality you’re not, lol. I mean, I assume your parents are Nigerian- so that’s where you’re really from. The rest is paper talk. The British are passing on that message very strongly recently and people act like they’re surprised.
I agree with all the factors except Identity crisis- If your lineage is African or Carribean, that’s your true identity- regardless of whether you were born in England- you might have the identity crisis but the indigenous British will help you solve your identity crisis by letting you where exactly you belong. Read between the lines.
Ghana will lobby you to convince your Britain born professional soccer player to come play for Ghana but will not want you to bring your wealth of knowledge to help develop Ghana. The local champions are afraid you will end their corrupt practices. Period. Most of them have nothing to offer. Politics is a means to an end for them. Hong Kong did the very opposite when they got their independence from England. They went around the world searching for their best. With these local champions, Ghana has no future.
You did a good job in your informative discussion. I appreciate you very much for this effective explanation. Great woman, please do more research on such matters
I'm a UK citizen, I'm living in Poland. I need to live in Poland for a total of 8 years to become a citizen, I've lived for 5 years. I'm applying for permanent residency this year. Im permitted to have dual nationality. But once I become Polish, I'm treated only as a Polish citizen when in Poland. I'm not able to use UK consular assistance.
I will personally support you when you start contesting election in Ghana. But when you get your British citizen early next year, if you want. You can still contest election here as a British citizen to achive your political ambition😊
Remember that not taking citizenship doesn’t necessarily allow you avoid tax on foreign income especially in the UK. It is based mostly on residence and domicile. In fact with the right 2nd or 3rd passport would help you be more tax efficient. As others have said, go for the British passport if you get the opportunity. If it becomes a problem just drop the UK passport. On identity your son will always have the problem cos of his accent. At least a British passport will allow him travel more easily, which is the only real advantage of something like a UK passport.
This is common knowledge. However, i will advise you leave African politics for African politicians safe if you are indirectly telling us that you are corrupt.
I have both Ghanaian and US citizenship with no issues. I don’t intend to enter into politics so I’m just fine. I’m thinking about getting Ghanaian passport for my kids too. However, I don’t know how to go about it.
@Dorothy8631 Get your children Ghanaian citizenship ASAP. I hold both Nigerian and American passports, and I'm grateful for both. I have high political ambitions in the future back home in Nigeria, and even here in America I'm working on getting top security government clearance. Also with the threat of war looming, its better to have another passport in case of emergency.
@chikezieanozie6645 Exactly the more you have, the better. Even in Nigeria, if hell breaks loose, I'm using my American passport to get the hell out, and if in America I'll use my 9ja passport. I also have UK permanent residency and am eligible for a UK passport. The more, the better. I don't understand these people who don't take advantage and acquire as many citizenship that they can get their hands on.
The 12-month rule to apply for UK citizenship after gaining settlement / ILR does not apply if you are married / spouse of a British citizen, you can apply for naturalisation straight away as long as you have been in the country 3 or 5 years after your first entry.
Do not have any of those problems, in fact my ECOWAS passports limits where I can travel in Africa and my European passport opens up more doors. However, the video was informative
Thank you for your insightful video! Regarding the right to public healthcare for citizens, in some countries, e.g. EU countries, once you let your country of origin in the EU, e.g., an EU citizen living in the UK, know that you are resident outside the EU, you are no longer eligible for free healthcare in that country even if you are a citizen. That is because in the EU healthcare right is dependent on residence, not citizenship. 👍🏻
Aunty happens if u multiple citizens ship 🚢. were do I stand. I?? Just curious because I have 3 citizens ship 🚢. British 🇬🇧🏴. Ghanaian 🇬🇭 and Nigeria 🇳🇬. Was born in UK. But dad Nigeria 🇳🇬 and mum Ghana🇬🇭. ?
With the upcoming Ghanaian elections , both the NDC and NPP are promising to change the law to allow dual citizens from Ghana to hold public office. So i think your fears should be alleyed .
There is a bill before Ghana parliament to consider dual citizens to hold positions in government,eg MP, any political position except being a president
I've had a the most conflicting conversation of my life with a Ukrainian guy at work who has dual nationality. His father is Russian and his mother is Ukrainian. Basically, I asked him where is he from, he said Ukraine. I said I had never met a Ukrainian person before, then I went on expressing my deepest sympathy for the people of Ukraine for what Putin is putting them through alright. Then to my disbelief, this guy started to fiercely defend Putin as a national hero and condemning Ukraine for protesting against Russia. He went on telling me that according to the constitution of Russia, protesting against the Russian government is an illegal act 🤔 he doesn't care Russia invaded Ukraine in the first place. The irony though, he took advantage of his Ukrainian passport to seek political refuge in London where he presents himself as Ukrainian and enjoys all the benefits but deep down, dispises Ukraine because he's actually emotionally, culturally and politically Russian. I feel sorry for his mother and half of his family which are Ukrainians.
India does not permit dual citizens. Nigeria and UK has no career restrictions on dual citizens, Prime Minister, even the British Secret Service, so far as you are from the Common Wealth.
The idea that someone would betray a country just he is a citizen of another only appeal to government under the rule of ignorance. Knowing the character someone is a science. Uncivilised countries always think along tribal lines but this doesn't work. In the UK, the previous government gifted 290 million pounds to Rwanda without any of the guys being dual citizen.
Any government of any country that cares about its citizens should not allow you to be a politician representing people, if you also have citizenship of another country. Where do their allegiances lie. It is quite absurd, that Boris Johnson was allowed to be a politician in the UK, when he had citizenship of the USA
I have 4 passports.. I fly in to Bangkok on a Western passport , the fly out on another passport which l use in Indo-China (they don't bother about drugs) Then l fly out on an Western passport and London knows nothing. By the way what is the language you speak, couldn't quite place it.
So Ghana won’t allow you to sit in the Ghanaian Parliament if you have dual citizenship. And yet you could stand for the UK Parliament without even acquiring British citizenship!
Hi, i have a question, What requirements would I need to enter the UK? as i am a dual citizen and I would like to spend the rest of my days there in UK.
My daughter was born in Ukraine 🇺🇦 and has Ukrainian citizenship yet her father is Nigerian 🇳🇬 and I am Zambin🇿🇲 and currently leaving in Germany 🇩🇪.Ukraine too does not allow dual citizenship. I can only imagine the identity crisis this will cause in future because her being a black Ukrainian already raises eyebrows.
Are you not allowed to establish a buiness in the uk if you hold your home country passport? And also really do need more information on how to get a family member here if i set up a business and have work for such individual at hand
Do you want to swap British citizenship for a seat in the parliament of a cesspool of a country like Ghana? Do you really understand the benefits multiple passports bring? Putting all your eggs in one basket is stupid! Also for double taxation, you're not absolutely correct since in most countries if you don't stay for more than 90 days, you ain't required to pay taxes. I'm originally from Ghana, but a legal resident in Mauritius, I have been a Nomad for 8 years and haven't filed taxes in any country during this period. For the US it's a different ball game altogether. As of May 15, 2023, 5,315 US citizens have renounced their citizenship, a sharp increase from the 2,390 who were renounced in 2022. When Tina Turner did that some decades back and moved to Switzerland, many people didn't understand her. It's not as complicated as you wanted us to believe. Many are renouncing US citizenship because of the obnoxious tax system and the fact that the land of the free is no longer free, now an empire of warmongers, deep state conspiracy, Welfare haven with lesser opportunity to create wealth, etc. With your love for politics, you can always renounce your citizenship before you file any legal papers to stand for public office. Those who got into trouble were the greedy ones who wanted to eat their cake and have it back. Multiple citizenship offers freedom of movement without the cost and headache of getting visas. Besides, it presents a lot of opportunities aside from those you mentioned. When things get messy in one country, there is the option to move elsewhere without getting caught in the 'crossfire'.
Great topic. Much appreciated. Only you are speaking very fast . The subject is a bit technical so slowing and pausing mid flow would help us to understand better.
Capital gains from foreign properties are exempt disclosed to the us IRS . As s dual citizen you can chose which ID docs to present to the company reg of that economic region your register your Business Entity. Most countries operate a remittance base tac so unless you remit funds into the economic region it doesn't impose tax. Not only us imposes tax on global income South Africa and Ethiopia do too only they done have sway GCR entities as the US does Consular support only goes as far as arranging legal representation. Or a repatriation flight. Regardless of national security implications People with dual citizen still get security clearance to work on such projects
MADAM STOP THAT LOYAL BECAUSE IN GHANA LOYAL DOES NOT BRING FOOD ON THE TABLE. MY FATHER IS MEXICO AND MY MOTHER IS A GHANIAN BUT I WOULD LIKE TO BE A MEXICO. DUAL NATIONALITY IS GOOD
You are absolutely right ✅️ we really need to think about it 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️.my kids are européens, I'm really thinking if I really need to have dual citizenship in case we need to run back in africa if they is war in the ouest ,having only my African passport may save us to run back in the mother land 🤔🤔🤔

Hi dear, he's eligible because I have ilr and he was born here . So i applied for him. I have a video on the application process ruclips.net/video/JXG-IRopya8/видео.htmlsi=KFIRsbOjWcklI2Nu
First point and the explanation for it made me laugh out loud because it’s not like any Ghanaian politician has the country’s best interest at heart anyway
Sorry, there is NO disadvantage to having dual citizenship. Countries simply have rules and laws and if you as acitizen want to take up certatin jobs or positions you have a *Choice like most other decisions you make in life.
He has not committed any offence. All the countries he has citizenship allow multiple citizenships. The only exception is if he acquired Nigerian citizenship by naturalisation rather than by birth. In such case he has to renounce the Nigerian citizenship.
Saying you won’t get a British because of “Ghana” political ambitions is like saying you won’t work because you plan on winning the lotto in the future. Very few people become a judge, head of the army or president. Get all the passports that you can and enjoy it..!!!😅😅😅
To all those in the UK what advice would you give to someone who does not have any qualifications but would like to move there. What steps should o e take
If a child brought to uk as a dependent on health care visa after ILR can the child leave the uk will they have restrictions coming in anytime in their life
Nanelle for your information that's a big issue! If you're a permanent resident of Britain you're not allowed to stay outside Britain for more than six months and the same applies to the EU countries.
Great video Nanelle. Please start the political party so we join😅 and I think at the beginning of this year, the uk HMRC and the Ghana GRA came up with an agreement of a tax treaty for citizens with dual nationality of both countries. You keep delivering. 🎉
Ghana passport doesn't offer visa free access to barely any countries...what benefits exactly are you getting with a Ghanaian passport? Would rather travel on a UK/EU passport over any African passport....period.

With the upcoming Ghanaian elections , both the NDC and NPP are promising to change the law to allow dual citizens from Ghana to hold public office. So i think your fears should be alleyed .
There is a bill before Ghana parliament to consider dual citizens to hold positions in government,eg MP, any political position except being a president
Hmmm i wont even think twice b4 getting another citizenship that's of great value
This video is enlightening
Well done Nanelle
Nurse Peace 😘😘😘😘
I've had a the most conflicting conversation of my life with a Ukrainian guy at work who has dual nationality. His father is Russian and his mother is Ukrainian. Basically, I asked him where is he from, he said Ukraine. I said I had never met a Ukrainian person before, then I went on expressing my deepest sympathy for the people of Ukraine for what Putin is putting them through alright. Then to my disbelief, this guy started to fiercely defend Putin as a national hero and condemning Ukraine for protesting against Russia. He went on telling me that according to the constitution of Russia, protesting against the Russian government is an illegal act 🤔 he doesn't care Russia invaded Ukraine in the first place. The irony though, he took advantage of his Ukrainian passport to seek political refuge in London where he presents himself as Ukrainian and enjoys all the benefits but deep down, dispises Ukraine because he's actually emotionally, culturally and politically Russian. I feel sorry for his mother and half of his family which are Ukrainians.
You’ve really suffered for this Nanelle. Please go for it, you can denounce it later if you still have to enter into Politics 😊
India does not permit dual citizens. Nigeria and UK has no career restrictions on dual citizens, Prime Minister, even the British Secret Service, so far as you are from the Common Wealth.
The idea that someone would betray a country just he is a citizen of another only appeal to government under the rule of ignorance. Knowing the character someone is a science. Uncivilised countries always think along tribal lines but this doesn't work. In the UK, the previous government gifted 290 million pounds to Rwanda without any of the guys being dual citizen.
Because of politics???? What happens if you leave office after 4 years 🤔?
Thank you Nanelle, this was informative.
Any government of any country that cares about its citizens should not allow you to be a politician representing people, if you also have citizenship of another country. Where do their allegiances lie. It is quite absurd, that Boris Johnson was allowed to be a politician in the UK, when he had citizenship of the USA
When i got my indefinite leave to remain there in the UK was an expiry date that come with it. I need to apply for citizenship within that time limit.
I get you so if I want to live free I need to get rid of Canadian citizenship when I depart from this frozen water land permanently
Each to their own. Period!!
I like her analysis. Impressive!
Thank you
I have 4 passports.. I fly in to Bangkok on a Western passport , the fly out on another passport which l use in Indo-China (they don't bother about drugs) Then l fly out on an Western passport and London knows nothing.
By the way what is the language you speak, couldn't quite place it.
Dual nationality has no problems at all. It is a choice ,but mind you, your colour and your gen must tell you who you are right.
Have benefit from my dual citizenship since 1999 👍🏾. It’s actually opened up additional business and employment opportunities.
So Ghana won’t allow you to sit in the Ghanaian Parliament if you have dual citizenship. And yet you could stand for the UK Parliament without even acquiring British citizenship!
Hi, i have a question, What requirements would I need to enter the UK? as i am a dual citizen and I would like to spend the rest of my days there in UK.
My daughter was born in Ukraine 🇺🇦 and has Ukrainian citizenship yet her father is Nigerian 🇳🇬 and I am Zambin🇿🇲 and currently leaving in Germany 🇩🇪.Ukraine too does not allow dual citizenship. I can only imagine the identity crisis this will cause in future because her being a black Ukrainian already raises eyebrows.
Living- not leaving
In 43yrs ive NEVER known there was a "darkside" to having a dual citizenship.
Because there isn't.
@@mwenengofero bruhhhh??????
You know that you could just apply for a British passport and not declare that you already have a Ghanian passport.
Are you not allowed to establish a buiness in the uk if you hold your home country passport? And also really do need more information on how to get a family member here if i set up a business and have work for such individual at hand
On a real, it depends on yr funds

Ghana and Uk also have a tax treaty.
Do you want to swap British citizenship for a seat in the parliament of a cesspool of a country like Ghana? Do you really understand the benefits multiple passports bring? Putting all your eggs in one basket is stupid! Also for double taxation, you're not absolutely correct since in most countries if you don't stay for more than 90 days, you ain't required to pay taxes. I'm originally from Ghana, but a legal resident in Mauritius, I have been a Nomad for 8 years and haven't filed taxes in any country during this period. For the US it's a different ball game altogether. As of May 15, 2023, 5,315 US citizens have renounced their citizenship, a sharp increase from the 2,390 who were renounced in 2022. When Tina Turner did that some decades back and moved to Switzerland, many people didn't understand her. It's not as complicated as you wanted us to believe. Many are renouncing US citizenship because of the obnoxious tax system and the fact that the land of the free is no longer free, now an empire of warmongers, deep state conspiracy, Welfare haven with lesser opportunity to create wealth, etc. With your love for politics, you can always renounce your citizenship before you file any legal papers to stand for public office. Those who got into trouble were the greedy ones who wanted to eat their cake and have it back. Multiple citizenship offers freedom of movement without the cost and headache of getting visas. Besides, it presents a lot of opportunities aside from those you mentioned. When things get messy in one country, there is the option to move elsewhere without getting caught in the 'crossfire'.
watch the video to the end ... i concluded by saying the same thing youre saying .
It's because when we became British citizens, we swore allegiance to the king.
Nah! Wrong information....worked in the MOD and have dual citizenship 😢
Great topic. Much appreciated. Only you are speaking very fast . The subject is a bit technical so slowing and pausing mid flow would help us to understand better.
Thanks for sharing, my sister..
Why shouldn't any any African have citizenship from Asia countries?
Capital gains from foreign properties are exempt disclosed to the us IRS . As s dual citizen you can chose which ID docs to present to the company reg of that economic region your register your Business Entity. Most countries operate a remittance base tac so unless you remit funds into the economic region it doesn't impose tax.
Not only us imposes tax on global income South Africa and Ethiopia do too only they done have sway GCR entities as the US does
Consular support only goes as far as arranging legal representation. Or a repatriation flight.
Regardless of national security implications
People with dual citizen still get security clearance to work on such projects
Nanalle why do you want to become a politician as a nurse. What is your motivation for that future career path? Will love to know
It's none of your business

I believe i can make a huge impact in Ghana with the konowledge I have gained in the UK . Make Ghana better
Dear Nanelle as good as your intentions are Ghana politics will make you change your mind. Bribery and corruption along will humble you

MADAM STOP THAT LOYAL BECAUSE IN GHANA LOYAL DOES NOT BRING FOOD ON THE TABLE. MY FATHER IS MEXICO AND MY MOTHER IS A GHANIAN BUT I WOULD LIKE TO BE A MEXICO. DUAL NATIONALITY IS GOOD
Not from your profile pic you are fully black
I believe it will change in ghana..
Please how did your son get British passport when you are on ILR?
Because he was born in the UK. Once you get ILR, your children born in the UK can apply for citizenship
You are absolutely right ✅️ we really need to think about it 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️.my kids are européens, I'm really thinking if I really need to have dual citizenship in case we need to run back in africa if they is war in the ouest ,having only my African passport may save us to run back in the mother land 🤔🤔🤔
There are a lot of scammers in yours comments section trying to use your platform to scam your viewers. Please delete them
My friend is India and has a canadian passport -Dua citizebship i think it applies mostly to those who want to take on certain occupation
What your friend didn’t tell you is he/she may have denied the Indian citizenship. India doesn’t allow dual citizenship.
Thank you nannelle. This is quite insightful.
This is very true in my country our new minister of education just resigned cos she was asked to renounce her USA citizenship to keep the people,,,,I suggest you go for the British passport cos our Africa nanelle is not africaing 😂
lol
Omo i dont care about the negative side effects😂. I must get two dual cit. IJN. Amen.
This was a good listen
nice content sis ✅ my son is holding usa 🇺🇸 passport and as a Nigerian dad i'm getting him his 9ja passport soon tho hes mom is a Chinese ... hahaha
Can you renounce one citizenship at the point of going for political positions?
yes
Nanelle please is the a way I can share a word with you privately as a sis
Go for it girl, we are with you. Ghana MP papapaaaa👍. Let's change our country for the better✊
Thank you
Please how did your son get British passport when you are on ILR?😊
He was born in the UK and she was able to register him as a citizen once she obtained her ILR
Hi dear, he's eligible because I have ilr and he was born here . So i applied for him. I have a video on the application process ruclips.net/video/JXG-IRopya8/видео.htmlsi=KFIRsbOjWcklI2Nu
@@NanelleGriseldaHi Nanelle, are you going to be able to get your British citizenship next year?
@@NovemberReigneyes
First point and the explanation for it made me laugh out loud because it’s not like any Ghanaian politician has the country’s best interest at heart anyway
oh dont say that
Sorry, there is NO disadvantage to having dual citizenship. Countries simply have rules and laws and if you as acitizen want to take up certatin jobs or positions you have a *Choice like most other decisions you make in life.
I'm still have my Ghana passport I don't think British passport is important for me.
Good Evening
God bless you for the good job you are doing. Please dose ghana passport have a chip in it.
Well done Nanelle 🎉🎉
❤️❤️❤️
I have three Nationalities, Nigeria 🇳🇬 Greek 🇬🇷 and British 🇬🇧 and I am so proud of it 👌👌👌
You hare committed an offence. You cannot have three nationalities but only 2. Stop saying it in public
@@oludayogiwa1806no she hasn’t committed any offence I have 4 citizenship and no issues
No you ignorant.. stop telling the whole world you dont know nothing...
Anyone can have 10 citizenship and passport
@@oludayogiwa1806
He has not committed any offence. All the countries he has citizenship allow multiple citizenships. The only exception is if he acquired Nigerian citizenship by naturalisation rather than by birth. In such case he has to renounce the Nigerian citizenship.
@@TheDupsie I acquired my Nigerian citizenship by naturalisation and didn’t have to renounce anyone of them
I don't feel the UK should allow Dual Nationality..
Saying you won’t get a British because of “Ghana” political ambitions is like saying you won’t work because you plan on winning the lotto in the future. Very few people become a judge, head of the army or president. Get all the passports that you can and enjoy it..!!!😅😅😅
To all those in the UK what advice would you give to someone who does not have any qualifications but would like to move there. What steps should o e take
If a child brought to uk as a dependent on health care visa after ILR can the child leave the uk will they have restrictions coming in anytime in their life
oh thats not an issue at all
Nanelle for your information that's a big issue! If you're a permanent resident of Britain you're not allowed to stay outside Britain for more than six months and the same applies to the EU countries.
@@evelynkyeremateng3244no that’s false please
If you have ilr you cannot stay outside for more than 2years

Great video Nanelle.
Please start the political party so we join😅 and I think at the beginning of this year, the uk HMRC and the Ghana GRA came up with an agreement of a tax treaty for citizens with dual nationality of both countries.
You keep delivering. 🎉

Ghana passport doesn't offer visa free access to barely any countries...what benefits exactly are you getting with a Ghanaian passport?
Would rather travel on a UK/EU passport over any African passport....period.
