Social Media Pushing Youths Out Of Nigeria -IOM

The International Organisation for Migration (IOM), says social media is a major tool influencing young Nigerians to leave Nigeria.
The IOM’s Chief of Mission, Franz Celestine, said this in an interview with newsmen, in Abuja, yesterday.
Citing the number of Nigerian returnees from Libya, Celestine stated that their reason for migration could not have been poverty or insecurity.
He disclosed most were from Southern parts of the country whose states were more secured and economically viable.
The IOM boss observed that young Nigerians get easily moved by ‘success stories’ people post on social media.
Celestine said that in spite of the North-East situation, statistics showed that less people were migrating from the region.
“One of the strongest push for migration is aspiration and not just poverty, conflict or disasters. Yes, the economic part of this is also a push factor. But of all the people returning from outside, and pretty much from Libya, less than 0.2 per cent of them comes from the North-East.
“Why is it that over 49 per cent of them are from Edo, 17 per cent from Delta; then Lagos, Imo and Ogun states? When you have these five states combined, they account for 89 per cent of those coming from Libya. If you look at these states, they are far ahead of the North-East in any human development index.
