This Brother, “OBJ” is a badd,BLACK brother! He came to East Africa first as a Basketball coach,after being a great player himself. Then finally he was asked to come and coach the FIRST Nigerian Basketball team. He groomed Hakim Olajuwon and co and many of his “boys” he sent on to USA basketball teams. He stayed and loved it and finally married a Nigerian wife! I had talked to him years ago about the difficulty Blackamerikkkans had obtaining Nigerian citizenship and asked him to apply. The jinx appeared to be ” bribe” as Lebanese and other Asians were getting their own by puting down cool cash and others (us) were getting turned down, or application lost etc. THIS year at the annual TV special on NEW NIGERIAN CITIZENS,BROTHER “OBJ” JOHNSON,ALONG WITH24 Lebanese, got his NIGERIAN CITIZENSHIP!(AND THIS HAS NOW BECOME DUAL CITIZENSHIP AS YOU NO LONGER HAVE TO DENOUNCE YOUR amerikkkan one!)E KU ORI RE O!(CONGRATULATIONS,BROTHER “OBJ”!) We don’t know of any Blackamerikkkans who have become citizens,yet there may be a few! But we do know that it has been difficult for many of us, and that many of us were turned down,even Sisters married to Nigerians,so we PRAY that this is the beginning of citizenship for the rest of us!OLUWA BA WA SE O!(GOD WILL WORK IT OUT!) OLUWA SEUN!(WE THANK GOD!)

What is the current status/possibility for African Americans to obtain a dual citizenship (US/Nigeria)? What do you believe the reason that difficulties were being placed in the way for this to happen?

The problem is bribery. Asians and Arabs have been bribing their way to citizenship so the staff there don’t do it for anyone unless they bribe. But OBJ met some righteous staff who got him thru without bribing.
