I was born in Lagos but my Dad is Edo State. Right from my Nursery School Days, My Parents always write Edo State as my State of Origin. I grew up with the notion that Edo State is my State. When I grew older, I came across my Birth Certificate one day and found out that I was born In Lagos. Many of my friends were also born in Lagos but 98% of them claimed the States of their Fathers as their State of Origin. I have never claimed anything from the Lagos State Government though I was born in the State. I feel some laws should be implemented in Nigeria. Once you're born in State with a Birth Certificate to prove it, you should be able to claim that state as yours in any documentation. You should also be able to contest for political posts in that State. Obama became the President of the United States of America because he was born in Hawaii. His dad was from Kenya. Being born in Europe is another matter entirely. Most Europeans will still ask you where you're from originally even if you were born in Britain, France or Germany. However, you'll be allowed to aspire for Political Posts if you're born in any European Country. We need to change our mentality in Nigeria
