I checked your profile and you claim to be Yoruba. It is obvious you aren't.

Even your name "Cynthia" exposes you. Yorubas don't bear Cynthia.

The issue is that you can't stop migration, you can only slow the process. migration is as old as Man, wether legal or illegal, people most move from one place to another.
Even the Americans, the Brits and European are looking for better place to lie their head for comfort.
They are some Americans in Nigeria that don't know road to their own country again.

When leaving your home country can now be considered an Achievement
A truly pitiful reality for the common man
Thanks to several factors (see bold)
- the US dollar payment system / SWIFT
- WTO rules which practically excludes Africa from win-win trade
- IMF & World Bank predatory lending
- senselessly high birth rate (poor countries/Africa)
- local corruption and poor governance

You mean the people below?
What's the relationship between seeking the right of self-determination and leaving a business area? Are the Chinese, Lebanese, Indians and Sudanese in Nigeria better neighbours than the Biafran if actualised?

You are just envious of the prosperity of the Igbos in Lagos and want them dispossessed and their properties confiscated.

SixSeven:
The irony of it all. I asked AI to further expand on your post

Here are some of the countries from your list that โ€” historians and analysts widely agree โ€” have been destabilized, at least in part, by U.S. foreign policy. I highlight those cases with the strongest evidence below. (Others on your list have no clear record of major direct U.S. destabilizing intervention.)


---

โœ… Countries noticeably destabilized by U.S. foreign policy

Afghanistan โ€” U.S. invasion after 2001, and subsequent 20-year war, deeply destabilized the country. The overthrow of the Taliban didnโ€™t lead to a stable state: after U.S./NATO withdrawal in 2021, the country fell back into chaos.
Libya โ€” U.S. (with NATO) 2011 air strikes to topple the regime dismantled a functioning (if authoritarian) state and triggered civil war, fragmentation, and ongoing instability.
Somalia โ€” U.S. overt and covert interventions (1990s UN-backed interventions, later drone/air strikes) helped produce collapse of central authority, civil war, and decades of instability.
Yemen โ€” U.S. involvement in counterterror operations (including drone strikes and support for allied interventions) significantly worsened internal conflict, humanitarian collapse and state breakdown.
Haiti โ€” U.S. interventions and military interventions (e.g. 1994 intervention to โ€œrestoreโ€ democracy) produced repeated cycles of instability, weak institutions, and chronic political dysfunction.
Cuba โ€” Longstanding U.S. hostility, economic pressure, covert actions and support for regime change efforts helped leave Cuba isolated, economically stunted, and politically repressed for decades.
Iran โ€” The 1953 U.S.-backed coup overthrew a democratically elected government, replacing it with authoritarian rule โ€” a foundational destabilizing event whose effects reverberate to this day.


---

๐Ÿ“ What about the others โ€” โ€œno clear caseโ€ or ambiguous?

For many countries on your list (e.g. Burundi, Chad, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan), while they may be โ€œfragileโ€ or โ€œconflict-affected,โ€ there is no widely accepted or documented major U.S. intervention or interference that matches the scale seen in the countries above.
The presence of a country on travel-ban lists (as in a recent U.S. policy) โ€” by itself โ€” doesnโ€™t equal โ€œdestabilized by U.S. foreign policy.โ€


---

๐Ÿง  Summary โ€” lost countries from your list

If I had to pick the ones from your list that were โ€œlostโ€ (i.e. severely destabilized or destroyed as functioning states / societies) by U.S. foreign policy, Iโ€™d mark:

Afghanistan

Libya

Somalia

Yemen

Haiti

Cuba

Iran


These are the cases with clear, documented interventions, coups or military campaigns by the U.S. that contributed to long-term instability or regime collapse.


---

If you like โ€” I can also create a short tweet-ready list (max 280 characters per country) summarizing each of those โ€œlostโ€ cases โ€” ready to copy-paste. Do you want me to build that for you now?
Most of the moon moons you see commenting can never understand the above facts. I really pity them
