Abstract
This paper deals with the historical challenges occurring from the plight of African youths illegal migratory adventures in search of where to survive in terms of white and blue collar jobs which are belief to be more sufficiently available in European countries which formerly enslaved, colonized and presently neo-colonising the same countries those youths originated from. Their voluntary risky attempts to cross the Sahara Desert, the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean to reach European targeted destinations are motivated by the lack of opportunities of encouraging labour markets since various governments within Sub-Saharan Africa can be capable of integrating all into the public sector and the fact that the private sectors also have their own specific challenges of absorbing the majority of the unemployed youths. The simple fact is that, this rampant illegal migration of African youths can be control provided the transformation sectors are more vibrant and boosting the economic growth and development. However, African leaders can once set up different research teams on the question of the long centuries of slavery and slave trade and the looting during the official partitioned and colonization of the Continent by Western European countries where the majority of the clandestine migrants are focused. To that effect, compensation to the over five century crimes committed by the actors can be transformed into developmental projects in respective countries. Each former colonial Master can be charged to settle her reparation not in terms of physical cash but with the construction of a number of transformation industries from raw materials gotten in the countries to finish products ready for the consumption markets within Africa and elsewhere. Within this project, an equivalent number of African smuggled and slaughtered during the previous centuries can be diverted to equivalent number of the contemporary youths to work in those industries instead of making unleashing attempt of illegal migration which ended half way in the deep seas and oceans. Historically, most African labourers were transported through the seas, dragged as lucks of woods, cargoes with chain on their legs, hands and necks as none ever enter the real aircraft to the plantations. Recently, the fabrications of boats, still by the Europeans are use as mode of transportations of Africans as those boats are not made by Africans but European businessmen. The solution may not be an effective illegal migration bills as taking the case of the British, but how to remedy with a solutions which can make those youths to stay, work and live in their respective countries in favour of Nation-Building. That is why, we raise recommendations on the reflections of the previous slavery, colonial and neo-colonial atrocities earlier committed by the actors with reparation paid in terms of developmental projects to enable the governments employ their citizens. The British as a case study best know what they did in their own time to Africans and most tribes are in unwanted conflicts because of their presence at the time using the policy of Indirect Rule with historical negligence as sources of conflicts and misinterpretations of the 21st Century in some countries. The British Government has been facing upright internal and external opposition to BIMB which if not revise can bring setbacks to open conflict escalations in African countries which signed accord of deportation of black migrants from United Kingdom to prison camps like those in Rwanda
