They or their parents emigrated to the more advanced economies of the West either to escape from political persecutions or more likely in search of the good life.\u00a0 Many have really improved themselves \u2013 superior education, good jobs and even owning businesses. And just when you think they have adapted well to their country of domicile, they tell you of their nostalgia for \u2018home\u2019, of their alienation and loneliness in their country of domicile and how strongly they desire to return \u2018home\u2019. For some, the increasingly complicated processes of getting resident permits or good jobs or other hassles that are embedded in living in self-imposed exile abroad such as endemic marital disputes and divorces, issues with raising children or loneliness and alienation have raised doubts whether the grass is truly greener in their country of domicile. They, too, long to return \u2018home\u2019. The cumulative effect of all these is a noticeable\u00a0 \u2018reverse migration\u2019 in many advanced economies, especially in the US and the UK as many highly skilled and entrepreneurial\u00a0 immigrants choose in droves to take their skills or businesses back \u2018home\u2019. For most, \u2018home\u2019 is their country of birth or where their parents were born.\u00a0 Though this \u2018reverse migration\u2019 appears to be most widespread among the Chinese, Indians and Brazilians, a similar trend could be noticed in virtually all immigrant communities abroad, including the Nigerian communities. Among the reasons often cited by immigrants for leaving are the better opportunities offered by the economy back \u2018home\u2019, increasing unemployment in the West and the need to be closer to family members back \u2018home\u2019.<\/p>\n

Members of the Nigeria Diaspora Alumni Network (NiDAN) are Nigerians who have spent at least one year living outside the shores of the country and are now either back in the country for good or spend a considerable part of their time here.\u00a0 More on NiDAN later.<\/p>\n

In an article in the Forbes of May 24 2011 Dane Strangler of the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation underlined the likely negative impact of \u2018reverse migration\u2019 on the US economy where immigrants have contributed disproportionately in the country\u2019s high-tech sector. In the US immigrants have been co-founders of such iconic companies as Google, Intel, eBay and Yahoo. In addition, immigrant inventors contribute more than a quarter of U.S. global patent applications. In 2006 alone, immigrant-founded U.S.-based companies employed 450,000 workers and generated $52 billion in revenue. Strangler in the aforementioned Forbes article expressed concerns that there are no visible signs of rising business creation among native-born Americans to fill the gap being left by the departing immigrants.<\/p>\n

With some 3.25 million Nigerians (counting from the first to the fourth generations) living in the USA alone, there is a tremendous resource out there to be harnessed. For instance among Nigerian immigrants in the US, recent figures show that over 115,000\u00a0 are\u00a0 medical professionals,\u00a0 some 174,000\u00a0 are IT professionals,\u00a0 about 87,000 are pharmacists,\u00a0 some 49,500 are engineers and over 250,000 are\u00a0 legal,\u00a0 financial, real estate and related business professionals. Though between 2005 and 2011 the Nigerian government supported the Diaspora Day celebration by assisting 500 Nigerians each year to return home to dialogue on ways and means of engaging Nigerians in the Diaspora, the emphasis has often been on sensitising such Nigerians about the investment opportunities back \u2018home\u2019. While such a sensitisation is useful, it is however not always clear that concerns about investment opportunities is among the main hindrances to people returning \u2018home\u2019.\u00a0 It would seem that for most Nigerians in the Diaspora, stories of pervasive insecurity in the land, fears of how to negotiate the inevitable reverse culture shock amid the intractable crisis in the country\u2019s nation-building project and its fallouts are among the strongest disincentives to those itching to return \u2018home\u2019. NiDAN, an independent, non-governmental, non-political and non-partisan forum for Diaspora Nigerians, with membership from 36 states of the federation, appears to tap into the fears and concerns of those itching to return as well as the existential needs of those who have relatively settled down.<\/p>\n

Formed on October 1 2010, NiDAN, which has its Head Office in Abuja, says its key objective is to \u201cpromote, advance and advocate the economic, political, social and professional interests of Nigerians who have spent at least one year outside the country, and have returned to contribute to national development.\u201d The group is therefore both a networking group and a sort of \u2018soft-landing\u2019 for returning Diaspora Nigerians as it offers them a forum to comingle with people who have a similar background of living away from home and are possibly also navigating through the same labyrinth\u00a0 of reverse culture shock. It particularly helps the new arrivals in negotiating how to re-engage with the country. With several of its members being well established either in public service, academics or running their own businesses, NiDAN is a bold statement to Diaspora Nigerians that returning home is \u2018doable\u2019. For instance an ICT firm owned by a member of the group employs some 400 Nigerians across the country. A member of the group\u2019s executive was also recently appointed a Vice Chancellor of one of the new federal universities. Several members own successful businesses – from hospitals and dental clinics to hotels and law and architecture firms. Though a majority of NiDAN members are professionals or people who run their own businesses, the group also has members who have returned \u2018home\u2019 with virtually nothing but an overwhelming desire to be \u2018home\u2019 again. Such members are often helped with searching for work and with tips on how to survive while they struggle to find their feet.<\/p>\n

As a networking group, NiDAN encourages its members to set up Special Purpose Vehicles to bid for contracts or develop viable project proposals. It also helps its members with sourcing for funds for such projects. NiDAN equally encourages its members to use whatever contacts they may have to attract investments into the country as part of its mission of helping to expand the country\u2019s economic base.<\/p>\n

A very laudable philosophy of the group is the idea of institutionalising \u2018giving back something to the fatherland\u2019. For this, last year it instituted an annual Youth Empowerment Programme (YEP) aimed not just at helping young unemployed people to develop requisite skills that will help them get jobs or set up their own businesses but also inculcate in them the \u2018can do\u2019 attitude that will help them excel in other aspects of life.\u00a0 In this year\u2019s YEP, which was held on July 23-24, 2012 at Nicon Luxury, Abuja, though 378 young people from across the country applied to participate in the programme, 520 people actually attended. Participants received several gifts and awards such as plasma TVs, laptops, state-of-the art mobile phones and scholarships to pursue various IT programmes.\u00a0 All the gifts were donated by members of the group.\u00a0 Given the relative success of the YEP\u00a0 this year, NiDAN plans to expand it in the coming years as well as institutionalise a mentoring scheme under which members can take on some unemployed young people and mentor them over a specific period of time.<\/p>\n

Despite their remarkable role in the remittance economy, Nigerians in the Diaspora and Diaspora groups in general are not always popular with \u2018resident\u2019 Nigerians \u2013 for various reasons. If NiDAN is able to sustain its current momentum, it could help not just to re-invent the perception of the Nigerian Diaspora but will also go down in history as a good interface in turning the country\u2019s brain drain into brain gain.<\/p>\n

\nComplex insurgencies.<\/p>\n

The National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies (NIPSS) organised a four-day \u2018Eminent Persons and Expert Group\u2019 meeting on complex insurgencies in Nigeria from August 28-31 2011 at Kuru, near Jos. Among the recurring theme in several of the presentations and comments was the issue of alienation of several groups from the Nigeria project and the need for the government to engage both insurgent and protest groups to address their perceived sense of injustice. It was also recognized that insurgencies are manifestations of years of authoritarianism and the absence of good governance, implying that any effective counter-insurgency strategy in the current democratic framework, must also put the issue of good governance at the front burner.<\/p>\n

Though the meeting was well organised and the organisers deserve commendations for working round the clock to pull it off, it will however seem that bringing some 200 \u2018eminent persons\u2019 and \u2018experts\u2019 to a four-day meeting was a little unwieldy, especially as these \u2018experts\u2019 and \u2018eminent\u2019 persons come from different professional backgrounds and also seemed to have different levels of engagement with the subject matter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
