The Most Successful Ethnic Group in the U.S. May Surprise You | OZY

Nigerian-Americans are on a path to become one of the most successful immigrant groups in American history.

www.ozy.com

"Today, 29 percent of Nigerian-Americans over the age of 25 hold a graduate degree, compared to 11 percent of the overall U.S. population, according to the Migrations Policy Institute. Among Nigerian-American professionals, 45 percent work in education services, the 2016 American Community Survey found, and many are professors at top universities. Nigerians are entering the medical field in the U.S. at an increased rate, leaving their home country to work in American hospitals, where they can earn more and work in better facilities. A growing number of Nigerian-Americans are becoming entrepreneurs and CEOs, building tech companies in the U.S. to help people back home."

Wow Nigerians MashaAllah. In the UK they have the same reputation as well.

196 million Nigerians
380 thousand Nigerian Americans

Probably a self-selected group consisting of the top 10% of Nigeria.

No refugee programs accepting Nigerians.

Minority elite migrate to the US. It's not a representative sample of Nigeria.

The same reason Indian Americans are successful.

It is a similar story here. Most in my field of work are Nigerian. They value education unlike the AA community.

The Indians who move to the US are more Brahmin or upper caste.

That isn't the whole picture though. And no shit Ranjit from the slums of Delhi can't afford to come to America.

He's a Somali.

His posts seem very unsomali and obsessive with proving something about Bantu africans I wonder if he is the West african Waaqo?

LMAO, it's a new thing. Before he wasn't like this. Trust me, he's a Somali.

Nope he's a troll

There was once a guy called @onlyme though, he's the madow version of waaqo but less obsessive and more sane.
