People who are of the view that Nigerians are lazy really need to have a rethink right now as virtually every evidence proves otherwise.

According to a ranking by a global business magazine, Bloomberg, Nigerians are the eighth most hardworking foreigners in Donald Trump's United States.

The report released yesterday showed that Nigerians scored 71.0 percent in the list of the hardest and most skilled immigrant groups in the US which was topped by Ghana with 75.2 percent.

Bulgaria and Kenya were ranked second and third with 74.2 percent and 73.4 percent respectively. Nigeria ranked in between Australia (7th) and Malaysia (9th).

Ethiopia made it to the 4th most hardworking country while Egypt came out 5th and Liberia 9th African country on the list.



Going by the report, Africans are the most productive immigrants in the US ahead of those from Mexico and Central America, who constitute more than 70 percent of foreign nationals in that country.

Mexico is by far the most common country of origin, but the population of Mexican immigrants in the U.S. (both documented and undocumented) actually fell 6 percent from 2007 to 2015, according to the Pew Research Centre.

The numbers of Salvadorans, Hondurans and Guatemalans in the U.S. continued to grow.

“If we want more high-skilled, hardworking, English-speaking, ready-to-integrate immigrants, it looks like the most obvious place to find them is in African countries where English is widely spoken,” Bloomberg journalist Justin Fox, who came up with the report, said.

The report, developed from the 2016 US Census Bureau American Community Survey, ranked Nigeria 8th among the Most-Educated Immigrant Groups in the U.S.
