Like other Africans, Nigerian migrants live in countless locations around the world and are connected to their homeland through contingent transnational networks. This thesis explores the onward migration of Nigerian migrants towards, within and beyond Europe and analyses the motivations, patterns and outcomes of their multiple movements. Six cities in Germany, the UK and Spain are the main research locations for the fieldwork that took place over 17 months. The three countries are important destinations for Nigerian migrants in Europe and also the principal destinations of intra-European onward migrants. The cities included in this study are the capital cities Berlin, London and Madrid, as well as Cologne, Manchester and Málaga.

  • A Geopolitical Analysis of South Africa-Nigeria Trade Relations (1994-2014)
    AFFRIKA: Journal of Politics, Economics and Society ISSN: 1998-4936 (Print) ISSN: 2075-6534 (Online) x Indexed at: EBSCO, ProQuest, J-Gate and Sabinet x Accredited by IBSS Volume 8, Number 1, June 2018 pp 135-158 A geopolitical analysis of South Africa-Nigeria trade relations (1994-2014) DOI: https://doi.org/10.31920/2075-6534/18/v8n1a7 Samuel Umezurike Centre for Human Excellence and Development in Africa Durban, South Africa [email protected] Christopher Isike Department of Political Sciences University of Pretoria, South Africa [email protected] Abstract South Africa and Nigeria are both regarded as regional ‘giants’ having real or perceived capacity to play strategic roles in Africa’s political-economic settings. On one hand, South Africa’s dominance in Africa’s political-economic transformation since 1994 is reflected mostly in its business expansion in Africa. Nigeria, on the other hand, remains significant having only just been upstaged by South Africa as Africa’s largest economy, and with the huge market its population provides for investors. Notwithstanding intermittent diplomatic altercations between both countries, there has been rising trade and investment relations between the two regional powers especially since the post-apartheid era. However, this is tilted in favour of South Africa because of its more capitalized economy and significant strength in trade investment in Africa. This skewed economic relationship between both regional powers has given South Africa a major trade and investment advantage over Nigeria which also reflects in the recurring political rivalry between both countries. The authors stress that South Africa’s economic incursion and dominance in the continent furthers a growing perception of its regional hegemonic and sub-imperial power aspirations which is becoming more real than imagined.

    IJAH 5(2), S/NO 17, APRIL, 2016 52 International Journal of Arts and Humanities (IJAH) Bahir Dar- Ethiopia Vol. 5(2), S/No 17, April, 2016:52-66 ISSN: 2225-8590 (Print) ISSN 2227-5452 (Online) DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4314/ijah.v5i2.6 Challenges of Nigeria’s Foreign Policy Enuka, Chuka Department of History and International Studies Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka Anambra State, Nigeria & Ojukwu, Emmanuel. C., Ph.D. Department of Political Science Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka Anambra State, Nigeria Abstract Nigeria’s foreign policy like those of every other elsewhere, is hoped to achieve for the benefit of Nigeria and Nigerians, the aspired goals and articulated interests of the Nigerian state. This expectation, by the judgment of many informed Nigerians, is yet to be fully realized. Nigeria’s foreign policy inter alia, has failed to work out the transformation of Nigeria’s status and Nigerians’ lives from where it is, to where it should be. What possibly could answer for this foreign policy failure? In response to the puzzle, this paper excurses into the mixed and myriad challenges that have vexed Nigeria’s foreign policy from the formative years of her foreign policy formulation and implementation to the present. The finding is that the persistence of these challenges due to neglect, bad and irresponsible leadership is debilitating to Nigeria’s foreign policy output and has made foreign policy performance leave much to be desired. The paper concludes with a number of recommended suggestions as a panacea to the identified teething challenges. Copyright © IAARR 2016: www.afrrevjo.net/ijah Indexed African Journals Online (AJOL) www.ajol.info IJAH 5(2), S/NO 17, APRIL, 2016 53 Introduction Foreign policy is a sine qua non in international relations and politics.
