  The observation is clear. Africa welcomes everyone, but Africans are not welcomed everywhere,

Fellows

Being a BIAFRAN myself.
I think there are two kinds of Refugees that I am seeing.

[1] Those who want temporary shelter   [2] Those who want life long shelter

It is tough for me to make a call for group [2] because many people and Nigerians, NOW, voluntarily , without war, chose option [2] to avoid Buhari and his horrible adventure with the help of Tinubu who wants to be President through the back door.

Those whose chose option [1], that are still hanging around are dying like flies hoping that it will be better. This will never be in their life time  looking at things right now.

Those who stand to benefit from Buhari & Tinubu misrules are not seeing anything wrong.
They themselves are not better of.

Boys who ran away are being deported back into the horrible Nigeria.
Nigerians walk in desert through Libya and die in boats seeking a better life else where
Many go into Italy with our girls for on holy flesh trade

No jobs, no food, no natin
Even rich people can not afford anything good in Nigeria but imported.

We are all refugees with and without our monies.

What do u think?.

Concluding my conclusion
I think moving to the next country or nearby country gives hope of returning to the homeland even though the possibility is not there.


There are people from Illorin who live in Lagos for 30yrs and have not been back to Illorin
Many Hausa people in the south have not set foot in the north for over 50 years, they do not even know where they came form.
Many from the east in west do not show up for christmas.
Many yoruba in the north even changed names and religion and are not going back.
Many yoruba in the east changed names and are not going back.

Is this refugee or Migration ?   or is it both ?

This thing is not a clear cut

US travel ban and Africa's refugee friendliness [Travel on TMC]

THE MORNING CALL


The US travel ban, a decree by president Donald Trump, has been the major news headline this week. And at the just ended Summit of the African Union, the Secretary-General of the United Nations Antonio Guterres reiterated that Africa remains the most open in the world.
Contrary to the policies in Europe or the United States, Africa remains the largest continent in terms of accommodating refugees and migrants. In their latest annual report, the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees stated that Africa alone hosts 4.41 million of the refugees in the world out of a total of 21.3 million.
Besides, five African nations are in the world’s top 10 refugee-friendly countries. I’m talking about Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda, Dr Congo and Chad.
And these numbers are expected to increase, according to some security experts, with the crisis in Burundi and South Sudan.
It might surprise you, Somalia, which is part of the three African countries whose citizens are not allowed to enter the U.S. territory also hosts refugees. We’ve seen several nationals of the Yemen fleeing the civil war in the streets of Mogadishu and other Somali cities.
The example of Somalia shows quite clearly that Africa, despite its problems is still very much open. This was further affirmed by the Secretary-General of the United Nations Antonio Guterres whiles addressing Heads of States of the African Union meeting in Addis Ababa earlier this week.
The observation is clear. Africa welcomes everyone, but Africans are not welcomed everywhere
Donald Trump has just laid emphasis on a policy that is already been applied in most western countries today. 
That issue was raised at the just ended Summit of the African Union by the immediate past President of the Commission of the African Union, Nkosazana-Dlamini Zuma.
She was even more explicit than the Secretary-General of the United Nations, saying,“this is one of the greatest challenges and tests to our unity and solidarity.”
We should expect the African Union to mobilise, on the recent travel ban by Donald Trump, which specifically targets Libya, Somalia and Sudan. For the moment, I cannot tell in what form this reaction or mobilization would be.
It might be the Organization of a Summit with the United States such as that the one held in Valletta with the EU towards the end of 2015. Would this translate to a greater fluidity in the movement of Africans around the world? That if you ask me is the multimillion dollar question.
