Abstract

This article presents the social and political causes of Nigeria-EU migration issues concerning unregulated migration that has been affecting the EU. This was done through qualitative and quantitative methodology, which includes interviews, data gathering and documentary analysis. From the findings and discussion, the article submits that the main problems frustrating the effort of the EU interventions on migration is the political situation of Nigeria. If the political sphere in Nigeria is not addressed in a proper way by eradicating numerous vices that undermine the economy and security through corruption, granting and assisting funds by the EU will be a superficial solution. It also presents the unconventional neo-vectors of migration and concludes that, since migration is a part of the human right through freedom of movement, which is also enshrined in human security, migration issues therefore cannot be exterminated through the building of migration centres. However, they can be reduced, if there are effective collaborative efforts by the Nigeria-EU relations in conjunction with other African states through strong border controls and enabling development as a precursor to addressing migration problems.

无管制移民与尼日利亚与欧盟关系

本文介绍了尼日利亚-欧盟移民问题的社会和政治原因，这些问题涉及一直影响欧盟的无管制移民。这是通过定性和定量方法完成的，包括访谈、数据收集和文献分析。根据调查结果和讨论，文章认为，阻碍欧盟干预移民努力的主要问题是尼日利亚的政治局势。如果尼日利亚的政治领域不能通过根除腐败破坏经济和安全的众多恶习来得到妥善解决，那么欧盟提供和援助资金将是一个肤浅的解决方案。它还介绍了非传统的新移民载体，并得出结论，由于移民是通过行动自由实现的人权的一部分，而行动自由也体现在人类安全中，因此移民问题不能通过建立移民中心来消除。然而，如果尼日利亚与欧盟的关系与其他非洲国家一道，通过强有力的边境管制和促进发展，作为解决移民问题的前兆，进行有效的合作，这些问题可以减少。

期刊介绍： The Central European Journal of International and Security Studies (CEJISS) was founded by Mitchell Belfer (Editor in Chief), David Erkomaishvili (Deputy Editor in Chief), Nigorakhon Turakhanova (Head of the Academic Centre) and Petr Kucera, in December 2006, as an autonomous wing of the Department of International Relations and European Studies at Metropolitan University Prague. The initial goal was to develop, and project globally, a uniquely Central European take on unfolding international and security issues. This entailed an initial “out-reach” programme to attract scholars from throughout the four Central European states – the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and the Slovak Republic – to participate in the journal as authors and members of the Editorial and (then) Advisory Boards. By the time of the first issue however, it became clear that CEJISS was also capable of acting as a platform for non-Central European scholars to present their academic research to a more regionalised audience. From issue 1:1 in June 2007 until the present, CEJISS has become, quite literally, a two-way street—it helps Central European scholars enter international academia and international scholars enter Central Europe.
