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 evendaily. Like her peers in the Democratic Republic of the Congo andSomalia, Nigeria is one of the African countries that has ever dealtwith a mixed migration issue. Prolonged internal displacement,human trafficking, migrant smuggling, and brain drain areindicators of this. Low levels of temporary internal displacement inNigeria have over time given way to widespread, extensive, andlong-term displacement. Currently, the majority of Nigerian migrantsare known to be present in large numbers abroad as asylum seekersand refugees. Along with this sizable population, there were anestimated figure of the Nigerian refugees who were waiting to berepatriated in Cameroon, Niger, and the Chad Republic.
