This paper focuses on the effects of international migration on the citizens of Edo State, Nigeria, using the Bini people as its primary focus. The study examined the effect of trans-mobility on the household welfare and living standards of Bini people. It looks at the benefits or otherwise of migration for the people left at home. The results of this study were obtained by using a qualitative research approach. The qualitative approach is based on focus group discussions in the seven local government areas where the Binis are the majority; and the descriptive examination of documents that contain crucial information about the study. It therefore applied secondary sources of data collection. These sources include academic journals, books, research papers, and reputable online resources. The findings show that there is a continuous improvement in the household welfare and living standards of remittancereceiving households. There is also a glaring improvement in asset acquisitions such as plots of land, motor vehicles and houses. The quality of food and clothing improved too. Considering the household welfare and living standard improvement that international remittances have, the study concluded that they have been of immense benefit to the Bini people of Edo State in particular and the people of Edo State in general.
