Abstract
Festus Olufemi Fajana says in Chapter 7 that: “The export of goods and emigration are two alternative, though not mutually exclusive, means by which African countries can deal with the problems of rising unemployment and the constraint of foreign exchange on growth and development process.” I fully agree with him, since I was initially afraid that the ‘or’ in the title could be interpreted as an exclusive disjunction leading to stark alternatives between these two means. In fact, some politicians have at times indeed believed that it was possible to solve underdevelopment through either emigration or the substantial export of basic goods.
