Vital article

@Oluwa2Chainz: on what grounds did you tag this page as level 3 of Wikipedia:Vital articles? It is not listed on that page, and is hardly as important as other essential Society topics in Category:Wikipedia level-3 vital articles in Society. I propose to remove your assessment. – Fayenatic London 15:42, 2 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Done after redirecting the article. – Fayenatic London 20:55, 2 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Disputed

Is there such a thing as citizenship for a state? Citizenship is a national matter. People speak loosely of citizenship as a Lagosian, e.g. in this blog post, but see the comments below it. Nigerian states fail to confer full rights of national citizenship to all residents, but this is a matter of "indigeneity", not citizenship of a state.

The two alleged citations given in the section on citizenship do not appear to support the statements in the article. – Fayenatic London 14:31, 2 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for pointing this out. I created this mess. I'm going to fix it. Wikic¤l¤gy^{t@lk to M£} 14:38, 2 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

In case anybody else is reading this, Wikicology has just removed almost all of the article, which was entirely his own original research, after I exposed his alleged citations as hoaxes which had evidently been found by searching Google books for generic terms, and which in no way supported the adjacent statements. – Fayenatic London 15:22, 2 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Redirected
