"The person wants to modify the nationality of his father to Ghanaian. This is because the Elbas, his family name, have their roots in Ghana. His father, who was originally from another country, came to Sierra Leone for a railway job. Therefore, he now wants to update his father's nationality to better reflect his family's cultural and ancestral background." 197.215.23.102 (talk) 08:26, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
