New U.S. Senate bill wey Senator Bernie Moreno don propose fit affect Nigerians wey dey live for America or other countries. Di bill dey try end dual citizenship, make Americans wey get another country passport choose only one country to pledge loyalty.

According to Fox News Digital, Moreno plan introduce di Exclusive Citizenship Act of 2025 on Monday. If di law pass, anybody wey be American and get citizenship for another country must choose between U.S. and dia foreign country. Anybody wey wan get another citizenship later go automatically lose dia U.S. citizenship.

Moreno, wey born for Colombia but don renounce Colombian passport, talk say:
“One of di greatest honors of my life na wen I become American citizen at 18. E be honor to swear Oath of Allegiance to U.S. — and only U.S. Being American na all or nothing. Time don reach to end dual citizenship for good.”

Di bill claim say e go protect U.S. interests, because some people dey fear say dual citizenship fit cause conflict of interest and divided loyalties. Right now, U.S. law allow Americans to hold citizenship for more than one country without any wahala.

If di bill pass, people wey get dual citizenship go need write letter to Secretary of State to renounce dia other country citizenship or inform Department of Homeland Security (DHS) if dem wan give up U.S. citizenship. If person no comply within one year, e go automatically lose dia U.S. passport. DHS and Attorney General go dey responsible to record dem as foreigners under immigration law.

Di bill na part of political moves under Trump administration to tighten immigration and citizenship laws, but similar attempts before don face court wahala. Legal experts talk say Moreno bill fit also waka enter Supreme Court matter, because di court don always uphold dual citizenship rights since 1950s.

Nigerians wey dey U.S. dey watch di matter closely, because if law pass, dem fit force choose between U.S. and Nigeria, wey fit affect work, business, and personal life.
