Since moving to live in Norway, a nationality change in order to represent his new home country was in the cards. In a newspaper interview Saidy stated that he "is one hundred per cent Norwegian". As an immigrant to Norway must wait for five years before getting a Norwegian citizenship, the process was fulfilled in December 2006, enabling him to compete at the Norwegian championships and to represent Norway in major international competitions such as the World Championships or Olympic Games. In his native Gambia, on the other hand, his new citizenship was described as a "shocking revelation". The Gambia Athletics Association, the Gambian National Olympic Committee and the Department of State for Youth and Sports were all reluctant to let him change nationality, as Saidy was deemed a "national hero" and a "national treasure".
Ultimately, Gambia opted to block Saidy's participation for Norway in major international championships for three years. This measure was created mainly to stop African athletes from pursuing careers in more wealthy nations, such as Olympic champion runner Saif Saaeed Shaheen who changed his allegiance from Kenya to Qatar. However, unlike Shaheen, Saidy was a naturalized Norwegian. Still, since leaving his Gambian citizenship behind, Saidy was not able to represent any nation at the 2007 World Championships, even while his name was accompanied by the Norwegian flag in the IAAF World Athletics Tour meetings. The Norwegian Athletics Association then hoped to get the block lifted in time for the 2008 Summer Olympics; this would depend on the approval of the Gambia Athletics Association.
In November 2007, it was reported that the disagreement had been resolved. The Norwegian Athletics Association and the Norwegian Olympic Committee and Confederation of Sports made an agreement with its Gambian counterpart, whose conditions included that Saidy would head a fourteen day long training camp for young athletes in his birthcountry. By the end of the year, only "formalities" remained as Saidy was presented as a part of the Norwegian elite athletics team for the first time.[
In a 2008 television interview he elaborated on his sense of nationality. While expressing a feeling of being both Gambian and Norwegian, he would emphasize the similarities between people rather than differences.

On sait que le mariage mixte c'est pas ta tasse de thé.

Tu serai pas gadèd-safè un peu misogyne sur les bords?
Tu en fais un agent infiltré... j'espère pour ton armée de l'ombre qu'il ne se fera pas phagocyter.

Elle est de mauvais gout ta blague et pleine de sous-entendus, J'aurais préféré : elle aime un norvégien.

pour revenir au sujet, à mon avis, le métissage doit être une exception puisqu'on ne peut pas l'empêcher.

personnellement, je n'aime pas du tout voir une femme noire avec un blanc.n'en déplaise aux concernées.

et entre peuples (races) différents, la règle doit être le court séjour pour vacances ou affaires et l'exception le long séjour. ça évitera la prolifération de mariage mixte et de xénophobie.

rares sont les pays qui n'ont pas réglé le problème du métissage, il ne subsiste que quelques endroits où les gens issus de croisement représentent un groupe à part.

et ce groupe à part s'imagine toujours au dessus des noirs et en dessous des blancs; c'est du foutage de gueule.

mais dans cette histoire de métis, ce sont très souvent les femmes qui sont raisonnables, les hommes étant très complexés.
