CIVIC EDUCATION
TOPIC
Citizenship refers to the relationship which exists between an individual and the country he lives. A
citizen is expected to obey the law of the land and perform certain duties to his country. On the
other hand, the country is also expected to protect the life and property of the citizen. The country is
to provide basic amenities such as road, electricity, and pipe- borne water for the citizens.
Types of Citizenship
A. Citizenship by Birth: The following are the ways Nigerian citizenship can be acquired by birth.
1. Everyone born in Nigeria before 1 October 1960, such person is a Nigerian citizen if any of his
parents or grandparents was born in Nigeria.
2. Everyone born in Nigeria after independence i.e 1 October 1960 whose parents or grandparents
are citizens of Nigeria
D. Honorary Citizenship: This occurs when the government of a country specially honours an
eminent foreigner by granting him the citizenship of the country. The usual conditions are normally
waived.
E. Citizenship by Decent: This occurs when an individual claims the citizenship of Nigeria because his
grandparents are Nigerians though not born in Nigeria.

1. What is Citizenship?
2. Mention four types of Citizenship
1. Poor Educations of Youths: Young people who do not have access to education have the high
tendency of engaging in crimes. Also, those who drop out of school due to government policy, family
problems are likely to become criminals.
2. Bad Education Policy: An education system that is certificate oriented will always produce
graduates always looking for jobs. Unemployed youths may likely devise illegal means of making
money which may involve engaging in criminal activities such as 419 or smuggling.
3. Poor Parenting: Children from broken homes may not have enough informal training that can
help them overcome some adolescent problems. If this is the case, such youths may likely turn to be
criminals though intelligent and promising. Their intelligence would be used negatively to achieve
their aims.
4. Weak Judicial System: Non-enforcement of laws and delayed punishment may encourage more
youths to commit crimes. If those caught in robbery, rape and examination malpractices are
promptly dealt with by the law, it will serve as deterrent for other youths.
5. Poverty: Some youths go into crime because they came from poor homes. In an effort to improve
their family finances, they tend to engage in nefarious activities.
1. Fear of Insecurity: As crime rate goes up in the society, the citizens tend to be more fearful
thereby not being able to carry out normal economic activities in crime-prone areas or periods.
2.Causes Inconvenience: A lot of inconvenience is created for the victim due to loss or damage to
vehicles, doors, phones, laptops, wallets, ATM cards, Identify cards, e.t.c.
3. Psychological Trauma: A lot of Psychological trauma usually follow crime victims. It takes some
time before such victims get over it. It, a times, causes anxiety, disordering, fear, major depression,
thoughts of suicide, e.t.c.
4. Worry and Loss of Sleep: Those who have been duped through 419, or attacked in their houses
by armed robbers or kidnappers express worry and sleeplessness many days after the incident.
5. Ruins Victims Business or Career: Many victims of 419 have found it difficult to recover from the
loss. Some have lost their entire fortune to internet fraudsters and swindlers which has ruined their
businesses and reduced them to beggars.
