A citizen is an individual that is born within the territory of a country and the parents or his grandparents are citizens of that particular country. Being a citizen of a country demands that the person is born in that particular country although we have other ways of acquiring citizenship.

Citizenship is a relation that connects an individual with the country he or she lives in. Citizenship can simply be referred to as an individual's nationality. A citizen of a country is saddled with somany rights and freedom which is called the fundamental human right, this is where a citizen derives joy in their respective countries.

How can one become a citizen of a country? Explain one way.

Citizenship by birth

This is a situation whereby, an individual is born in the country or the parents are born in the country as he or she enjoys his rights in the country as a citizen of the country by birth.

Citizenship by Naturalization

This is a way at which an individual who is not a citizen of a country acquires the identification of a particular country to be tagged a citizen of that particular country.

Citizenship by Registeration

This is a situation whereby, a woman who is not a citizen of a country, gets married to a citizen of another country and then decides to acquire the identification of the country she is married to. This is mostly practiced by foreign women who gets married to Nigerians or other countries.

Explain 3 duties of a citizen.

• Law Abiding

A citizen of a country should be law abiding. Failure to abide by the law of his country will be punished and it is very sad that a citizen of a country is causing problems and tagging a bad name to his country. Having law abiding citizens is the joy of every country and that is what makes a country a better nation.

• Payment of taxes

Payment of taxes are needed to be paid as it is very important. Those taxes are the money we pay into the government pulse for the growth of the country as it is honestly used by the government.

• Voting

It is a citizen's right to vote and be voted for, during the election. If others are eligible to be contestants then other citizens should go out to cast their votes for their favourites candidates.

Steemians are citizens of Steemit, what makes someone a Steemian?

A steemian is a blogger who writes on the Steemit platform. The name steemian is from the name Steemit, therefore , anyone who has the rights to write and post on the Steemit platform is a steemian.

For someone to become a steemian means the person has the rights to vote and support other users, the person has the right to be voted or supported, the person has the rights to comment and engage with other users.

Thank you for reading to this point, I invite my friends to join the contest. @josepha @kuzboy and @jasminemary.
