This paper examines how members of Nigerian, Nigerien, Burkinabe, Ghanaian, Guinean and Liberian Diasporas perceive conflicts in their former countries of residence. It identifies these six countries and gauges their patterns of visualizing origin from their new places of abode, mainly in Europe and the Americas, and in the less attractive destinations in Asia, the Pacific and other African countries. Tracing the beginning and causes of their movements from slavery to colonialism, neo-colonialism and the quest for peace and economic prosperity, the paper mixes methods to investigate the feelings of the foreign residents towards original countries. With mixed frames of mind, a back-and-forth attitude, and a conditional wish for return, the article concludes by locating the character of members of this diasporic communities as though similar to some other diasporas, but are separated by the peculiarity of imagining departed places with elongated and continuing shades of conflicts.
