It is remarkable to note that in recent times, the rate at which young people move to other country of their choice in startling. There have been little or no consideration to this move. It seems youths leave at a whim. They don’t give it a deep enough thought. They were always eager to leave the shore of the country by all means. They want to “Japa”. “Japa” euphemistic way to explain the departure of one’s birth country, especially Nigeria. For several reasons, Nigerians have seen the need to leave the shore of the mother land in droves. Many of these “Japaist” have discovered, after getting to their dreamland, that it is not all Eldorado. Many have faced some inhumane treatment from their host country and society. Therefore, this phenomenon has brought to the fore some religious and ethical interrogations. Religion as an institution has teachings on how to treat foreigners in the land of their sojourn. Hence, this research employs descriptive method for the work which would help to examine some of the religious ethics this phenomenon negates, using the analysis of injunction in Deuteronomy 23:19-22.
