BECOMING A CITIZEN OF AMERICA

By SOREN OLESEN Becoming an American citizen is mostly about following the process and educating yourself. First, you have to apply and make sure you submit all the relevant documents. For example, I had to provide proof that I had signed up for Selective Service back in 1989 when I got married and applied for my first green card or Resident Alien card as they call them. I kinda hope that I haven’t scared any little children too much, on my school bus over the years when I showed them my official alien card and told them I was a real alien and they better sit in their seats facing forward or else. After your application is approved, you are scheduled for a biometric appointment and at that appointment you are provided with some study materials for your citizenship test. You have to know the answers to 100 questions, but they only ask about 10 at the test. If you provided the documentation and your biometrics didn't turn up any violations you are scheduled for a citizenship test wit...

NSCDC STATEMENT ON KILLING OF ONYEKACHI IN UMUOKPO COMMUNITY

Following the sad and unfortunate killing of Onyedikachi Nwogu right in front of his house in Umuokpo Umuokoro village of Obingwa LGA of Abia State, we were shocked to read a statement attributed to the Akwa Ibom State Commandant of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corps (NSCDC), Mr Samuel Fadeyi, seeking to absolve the Command and the suspected murderer, NSCDC Officer Robinson Otobong, of blame.
