It is wise to get your information from the source, if you want clear and accurate information.
GENERAL INFORMATION ON DUAL CITIZENSHIP
Problems with dual citizenship is not particularly desirable in many countries because a dual citizen is somewhat placed in a situation in which their obligation to the country is placed in conflict with the laws of the other country. An example is the problem of conflicting military obligations. In addition, a person’s dual citizenship may hamper efforts to provide diplomatic or consular protection when the person is aboard.
The majority of countries do not recognize dual citizenship. That is their governments do not recognize a person’s prerogative to the rights, privileges, or immunities the may be prerogatives of the citizen’s of the other country.

Yes, many people have three or more citizenships. It all depends on the laws of the individual countries with which he or she is involved. For example, a friend of mine is Italian (from his father) Swedish (from his mother) Russian (by birth) and Canadian (through immigration). Oh, and he also has a US green card.
And by the way, the US does not have any law against dual citizenship.

Yes, you can actually hold multiple citizenships at one time, as long as you continue to abide by the legalities binding citizenship to you. Each country separately enforces what rules apply to attain citizenship with them and yes some countries disallow multiple citizenships, but just to gain citizen status within that country.

Yes, you can hold citizenship of as many countries as you like as long as it fits within the guidelines of each country. For example, Australia, UK, New Zealand have no restrictions on holding multiple citizenships

yes, think about it. I am an American citizen. My huband is a Mexican citizen. We recently went to niagara falls and I was joking with him that if I had a baby there that they would have 3 citizenships. Mexican, American, and Canadian.
