Abstract
This paper is original and very sensitive, difficult to know the population of Nigerian youths in diaspora; accurate statistical records were far-fetched, very few mothers wanted to discuss the topic, and be involved in the research. They only talked about it when the outcome was positive, and the reverse was the case when the outcome was negative. Eleven (11) women in Nigeria who were mothers of youths in diaspora, in foreign countries were purposively selected, and studied. A case study design was used. Face-to-face interviews and discussions were instruments used for data collection. Data analysis was anthropological, ethnographic and qualitative. Relative deprivation theory propounded by Runciman (1972); and Relative Actualization Theory being propounded by Obi (2017) were found useful to explain the experiences of Nigerian women and their children in diaspora in terms of attitudes, culture variations and implications
