    Greece does not confer citizenship just by virtue of your being born in the country. If either of your parents were Greek citizens at the time of your birth, then you are a Greek citizen. Otherwise, chances are you have to move back to Greece and apply for citizenship via naturalization.

    There is a Greek Embassy in Abuja, Nigeria that can give you more information.
