African Migration to Europe and the Emergence of Modern Slavery Africa: Who is to Blame? Nigeria in Perspectives

Ever since the beginning of exploitation, penetration and colonialism of African continent by the European capitalists in the 17th and 18th centuries, the history of African perspectives changed from peaceful direction to a conflicting one. This is because institutions such economic, traditional ruling system, cultural heritage, tradition of excellence as well as the large population of the continent were either destroyed or had their existence shaped by this evil of colonization. For those who read African history they were aware of the African underdevelopment architected by colonialism. At the end of the day African?s leadership was left on the hands of indigenous people without a blue print to guide the new leadership. It?s against this background that this paper examines the current situation of this massive migration to Europe by Africans especially with Nigeria as a reference in perspective. The cause, consequences and who are to blame for this unprecedented event of modern slavery are part of the discussions of the paper. Again, bad governance, corruption coupled with leadership style and European economic policy toward developments in Africa contributed of threat through insecurity immigration. It forms another segment of this paper.
