In Nigeria, the number of people that emigrated is higher than the number of people that immigrated to the country. In 2017, the difference between the number of people entering and leaving Nigeria was by 300 thousand people. In the 1980s, the number of Nigerians leaving the country increased as a consequence of the economic downturn related to the collapse of the oil boom and the political instability.
