Yasmin Pigeon is a British National with dual citizenship due to which she can exercise her rights of British citizenship even while holding other nationalities. Pigeon is a British citizen by descent through her mother, who is from Nigeria and through her marriage to an American in Ghana. She has since become a British national by acquiring indefinite leave to remain and is eligible to vote in the forthcoming general election. In this regard it is worth mentioning that the amount of time a person is allowed to wait after attaining indefinite leave to remain before being eligible to vote in an election for any position depends on the immigration rules of the country concerned as well as the British Airways schedule.
The relationship which Yasmin Pigeon had with her previous husband ended due to differences and in order to keep the continuity of their union Pigeon decided to travel to Ghana. There she continued to be known as Yasi, the name by which she was known in Ghana. Once in Ghana, according to her own account, she started getting used to wearing the Nigerian cultural dresses such as kaftans and kerchiefs. It was only at the end of her second year in Ghana that she and Pigeon finally decided to get legally married in the UK. Even then her Nigerian nationality was not recognised by the Ghanaian authorities.
At this point it may be useful to mention that there are no recognised national identity in Ghana and all the citizens are assumed to have dual citizenship. But, as Yasmin Pigeon was living in England, dual citizenship was unlikely to be a concern in that regard. In fact, in most respects, Yasmin Pigeon has been treated as a British national by virtue of the right to live and work in Britain and of the pension schemes to which she is entitled. Her status as a British national by adoption, i.e., under the Adoption Order 2021, did not prevent her from obtaining British citizenship even after her marriage to an American. But, as pointed out above, the relevant statutory law in Ghana would have been to recognise her Nigerian nationality and therefore prevent her from gaining British citizenship by adoption in spite of her marriage to an American citizen.
