This document discusses travel for development in Africa. It notes that many African youths travel abroad in search of better opportunities, which has negatively impacted development on the continent. The "Erasing Borders Initiative" aims to promote tourism and technology sharing to spur development in Africa by exposing local artisans to knowledge from developed countries. Its goals are to promote tourism in Nigeria, provide education abroad, and ultimately spark economic and social revolution in Africa to stem the tide of emigration by African youths seeking opportunities elsewhere.

1. …TRAVEL FOR DEVELOPMENT

2. • Nigeria is the only country where we clamour for
change but the youths that ought to make this change
are heavily travelling out of the country in search of
greener pastures. If i travel and you travel and every
youth travels then what is Nigeria.
• The positive or negative act of every African youth
determines how we are perceived by the international
community. No wonder i grew up to hear the story that
UK was visa free to Nigerian citizens and today
obtaining a Uk visa is like struggling to enter the
kingdom of God.
INTRODUCTION

3. HOWWE ARETREATED

4. over 196 countries
over 7000 different languages
Travel is a sure way for the acquisition of knowledge and I
believe travel can be better utilised to yield great results
rather than drug trafficking, deportation, illegal
residency, smuggling etc.
As a travel consultant i have always said and will continue
to say that travel is cheap and is affordable. Not all travel
plans are meant to be extremely luxurious. Budget
holidays can be easily assessable to all..
You can’t live all your life here?

5. Where did Africa miss it?
where did things go wrong?
I believe the mass exodus of our youths is
based on different factors, some of which
includes;
-Search for greener pasture
-Unfavourable living conditions
-War and civil unrest
QUESTIONS

6. The initiative aims at enhancing
development in Africa through importation,
implementation and development of
technological, social, educational, political,
agricultural and medical development
experienced in developed nations, and
applying them at the grass root of the
developing countries so as to provoke rapid
development.
ERASING BORDERS INITIATIVE

7. -Promote tourism in Nigeria
-Expose local artisans to development in their field of play so
as to aid development

economic development.
AIMS OF ERASING BORDERS

8. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS

14. -- we all have to spread the news
-Work on our individual character
--erase the borders in our minds
-Sensitize ourselves about life purpose and traveling for
the right reasons
-- we should be glad to share informations
WAY FOWARD

15. Africa should be the source of the river of
goodness that flows to the rest of the world,
bedrock of natural resources; we should possess
the greatest economies of the world and be the
world leader in several industries but
unfortunately, the reverse is the case. If this
generation continues like this we might end up
destroying the hope of our children as our
parents failed us. So this is a call to all the
youths to join the erasing border movement as
we all determine to make Africa a better place
to be born, to grow, to live, to make money to
settle down to fulfil dreams and to die.
