Abstract
In the light of globalisation and economic trends of every nationality law, economic integration and increase in migration with the idea of citizenship continue to decrease when considering the ease on the international travel to that of decades previous, the prospect of individuals possessing multiples citizenship simultaneously has become increasingly. With the advent of globalisation, the notion or possibility of citizens possessing global citizenship has been in the rise. To this effect, modern statistics has demonstrated that the undeniable presence of individuals who may call two countries home has become a controversial issue of high debate on the nationality scene. This, in turn, has led to the increase interest in the possibility of citizens to hold dual nationality and, where a country’s policy currently prohibits such dual citizenship, a perfect and encouraging factor to make the concept of nationality law a reality in the global scene. As a result of this, the general world trend is towards a more open citizenship regime in which increasing numbers of countries allow their citizens to possess the nationality of another country and even going to the extent of possessing naturalization as far as this will contributes positively to the economy of the country of origin of this citizen. The situation of double citizenship is look is a different perspective under the Cameroon nationality law. Notably, Cameroonian nationality law is exclusive, as they consider that the acquisition of a foreign citizenship is an automatic reason for loss of Cameroonian Nationality and this phenomenon has created lots of implication on the Cameroonian society from the economic, social, political and even cultural denominations.
