"Citizenship is Permanent"

Greetings Hotnews Community

It has really been a long time here, I was absent for 2 days but am happy I got some break today and I have decided to use it properly and ensure that I also increase my voting CSI before I get back to studies. This is the first contest that caught my attention when I came back to my profile and decided to check some communities I subscribed to. Citizenship is a very nice thing to talk about and I appreciate @saintkelvin17 for organizing this contest.

Share your understanding on Citizenship.

Majority of us already have a brief understanding about citizenship because is something that's very easy to understand. Citizenship in my own understanding has to do with the identification of a member in a country or environment. Citizenship comes with alot of rules and tasks because it's benefit is unique and wonderful. A citizen of a country must have gone through the verification process of that country before he/she was made a confirmed citizen.

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

Somebody can become a citizen of a country through some key means, it comes naturally most times but it doesn't come in a natural way anymore each time we decide to go and live in another city for years. We have citizenship by birth, citizenship by naturalization and citizenship by marriage.

Citizenship by birth: This is the best and easiest to fall in, we all become citizen of any country we were given birth to. If am a Nigerian and I was born in any hospital in Germany then I have automatically become a citizen of Germany. Most wealthy people take their wives to other countries because of this reason.

pExplain 3 duties of a citizen.

Voting during elections: A citizen of a country who's an adult must always vote during elections as this is very important to ensure that the number of votes for all delegates will count well.

Paying tax: Citizens always pay taxes in their country because this is a rule everyone must be part of and this tax helps to support the country all round.

Respecting national things: Citizens must respect he national related object or things in their country just as we have our country flags and we have the national anthem which we must not abuse or play with.

Steemians are citizens of steemit, what makes someone a steemian?

There are many things that makes someone a steemian but there are currently steemians that doesn't deserves to be called steemian anymore because they break alot of rules and they have also developed hatred for the platform. One thing that makes someone a steemian is their activeness in the platform, you can't be called a steemian when you don't have any active post or comment in steemit or you don't vote posts. Being verified through our introduction posts is the first thing that makes us a confirmed steemian as well.

I invite @paholags, @josepha, @heriadi, and @pandora2010 to participate in this contest.
