Movement has forever been a critical piece of Nigerian history. Every one of the significant ethnic gatherings in Nigeria accept that their ongoing settlement came about because of their predecessors' earlier movement. In the start of the twentieth century, after the appearance of Europeans in Africa, a large number of Nigerians began moving to adjoining African nations, America and Europe looking for greener fields.

With the political strains and financial downturn beginning in the mid 1980s, this deluge diminished, and resettlement turned out to be more long-lasting.

Somewhere in the range of 1990 and 2013 the quantity of Nigerians living abroad dramatically increased, passing the one million mark. Runaway African is the first published book by Kene Louis.
