Stop trading our citizenship for mediocre foreign talent


TRADITIONALLY, we believe the citizenship we are born with is what we have for life. Unless we decide to leave our motherland and emigrate.In today’s borderless world, professionals, businessmen or students are attracted by the opportunity to improve their quality of life and make more money.

For athletes, in particular footballers, they trade talent and their CVs for citizenship or naturalisation.
