Africans Caught in the Web of Migration, the Fears, the Tears, and the Triumphs

Globalization unavoidably propels migration which has been and will continue to claim the lives of most Africans in an attempt to scout for greener pastures in foreign lands. This thereby causes security challenges to both African immigrants and the receiving nations or host countries. Thus, presenting “Africanness” and “self-reliance” (philosophy of do-it-yourself) as our anchor arguments, we argue that Africans in the diaspora can manage racial crisis by redefining their identities, and Africa can actualize autonomy and greatness if and only if African nations can effectively utilize her available natural and human resources.
