Hi everyone,

I am a French citizen married to a Nigerian woman, and my wife and I are trying to understand whether or not I am eligible for Nigerian citizenship by registration through our marriage. We want to spend more time in Nigeria and it would make our life a lot easier if I don't have to apply for a visa every time.
That information seems to be hard to obtain (apparently the law says it is possible for foreign wives of Nigerian men, but nothing about the other way around), so I am wondering if anyone here actually has first hand experience trying to obtain citizenship this way, either successfully or not.

Any tips welcome... Also on which institution can be contacted for that matter (local embassy or immigration in Lagos? Abuja?)

Thanks a lot!

why not go to the nigerian embassy in France and see if it's possible.
