Abstract
Transitional movement is inevitable, especially migration, where patterns have evolved between time and space. This study of the paradigm shift of rural-urban migration is a review of changing patterns from the historical trends of the pre-colonial era to the most recent modernization of movement. The in-depth interplay of dynamics presents itself as a paradigm shift in destinations, either sketchy or non-existent, which provides essential insight into the complicated and ever-changing nature of nature and the pattern of the transnational movement of migrants. Several theories supported the study concept in linking with the findings that revealed slavery migration of the pre-colonial era to the push and pull of the colonial era while the shift to livelihood sustaining trending pattern due to changes have happened in the areas of technology, social, economic, and political coliseum, which have improved the conception of paradigm shift in migration. Trends and patterns shifted from permanent migration and tended towards temporary migration embedded with seasonal and circular patterns with varying characteristics. Due to the changing circumstances, the stability of trends and patterns depend mainly on the times and strategies adopted for sustainable livelihood.
