The Complicity and Consequential Effect of Large Scale Migration in the Originating State: A Nigeria Model

Abstract

Sub-Saharan African migration is rising steadily, sometimes even daily. Like her peers in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Somalia, Nigeria is one of the African countries that has ever dealt with a mixed migration issue. Prolonged internal displacement,human trafficking, migrant smuggling, and brain drain are indicators of this. Low levels of temporary internal displacement in Nigeria have over time given way to widespread, extensive, and long-term displacement. Currently, the majority of Nigerian migrants are known to be present in large numbers abroad as asylum seekers and refugees.
