I also welcome this development, provided it is reciprocal. While Nigeria is becoming a hub for these nationals, I hope Nigerians are also finding welcome in those nations as well. And, even more importantly, the said visitors do not constitute those who are suspected in some quarters to be foreign nationals (infiltrators) planted as secret mercenaries awaiting a day of pouncing on the unsuspecting Nigerians. The Pan-Africanist mood would be the dream of the likes of Nkrumah coming true, and we can only hope it is real.

There are now large clusters of immigrants from Egypt, Gambia, Senegal, and Mali in Nigeria.
I have someone collecting preliminary data on some of these clusters. If you live in Ibadan, you find many opposite the UI campus.
As a Pan-Africanist, I welcome this development as long as the government does not scapegoat innocent citizens seeking legitimate means of livelihood.
Hope the relevant agencies of government are collecting data for us to understand the effectiveness of regionalism.
