Africa?s development and sustainable progress is essentially one of the peculiar crave of many around the world today. This desire which is not limited to Africans alone, but many sincere ?progressives? around various continents, is predicated on the fact that Africa- the continent blessed with numerous human and natural resources has not seem to meet up with the challenges of the 21st century. The continuous outbreak of diseases, increased poverty, unemployment, low standard of living, infrastructural underdevelopment, low literacy and many more problems have beclouded the ?joy of being? of many Africans.The quest for sustainable development and the possible leeway to the progress of Africa, has continuously preoccupied scholars, as many dimensions to the way forward have engulfed the front burner of the intellectual space.In the light of the above, this paper explores Asouzu?sIbuanyidanda Philosophy, and the concept of Migration as formidable tools of progressive development in Africa.
