In this era of globalization, millions of highly qualified professionals from Africa are dispersed across the globe for economic and humanitarian reasons. Unsurprisingly, these waves of migration have created brain drain in many of these countries, but those in the Diaspora are relying more on social media to reconnect with their homeland. This book is a compendium of thoughts shared with hundreds of people on Facebook for more than six years by a Nigerian-Australian who desperately wanted a change in his homeland. The fundamental point is that distance should not be a barrier to political participation in this twenty-first century.
