I came across this question on Quora.

Some answers were quite interesting. One of them is reproduced below;

"They were very nice. Intelligent, law-abiding and hardworking.

And those are the reasons. If you’re intelligent, hardworking and law abiding, you’ll likely make it in America to a large extent. No matter where you’re from."

Now over to you, "Why are Nigerians so successful in America?"

Because village people didn't followed them to america.

Because Nigerians naturally are husslers and hard working people, so if they apply half of the effort they use in Nigeria over there in the USA, they'd become millionaires.

Also, the American system is built in such a way that there's reward for geninue hard work. Over here in Nigeria, no matter how qualifed or how hard you've worked, if your name isn't Abdul, Mohammed, Aisha...and come from a certain section of the country, you're just wasting your time.

By 2023, more than 98% of Nigerian youths would have successfully migrated out of this hell hole.

This I have seen.

It's because the system is working unlike the evil forest called Nigeria

When u are determine and hard-working,u will be successful even if u are not in US.Knowing what is right and doing it and holding on to God is an added advantage

Most Nigerians are hardworking.... in fact Nigerians make up the highest numbers of educated blacks in the US.

Forget all these stereotypes most people say... like crime, fraud, drug, etc..... Cos for every one fraudulent Nigerian abroad.... there are a thousand number of Nigerians doing legit business abroad.... and adding something to their host country.....be it through medicine, finance, or IT.

Oh, and remember the deputy Treasury president in the US is a Nigerian.

I am here to read and learn.

RayMcBlue:
they deal drugs and other fraudulent schemes.

Keep silent if you have nothing reasonable to say,
1% of fraudsters soiling the country's name out there shouldn't be a yardstick to measure hardworking and successful Nigerians abroad.
Cocoacandy, no be so?


By the way,
Instead of some internet urchins that have never traveled out of their villages to chill out and allow Nigerians in foreign countries to contribute and make comments and let we at home learn,
Never, these online miscreants will take over all the comments box talking on behalf of the people that are in the position to answer.
The difference between Quora and Nairaland.

Over there, sensible people chill out at this kind of topic, people don't just post for posting sake.
I tire for dis kind people here sha

America irrespective of its racial profiling gives everybody the opportunity to achieve his/her best because of the available platforms!

A conducive environment for business. As a taxi driver in Nigeria do you know how many touts you will have to settle before loading passengers? Including the one that union collects. After loading, you meet some misfits in police uniform. Of course you will settle them. At the end of the day what is your take home profit? Also consider inflation in the price of foodstuffs etc.


Now, compare it to abroad. Once you are registered as a taxi driver. That is all. Although I believe there is a sort of due or levy they pay there. Consider their economy.


Coupled with the fact that Nigerians are hardworking irrespective of tribe.

Finally, if you as an individual you migrate abroad, after some years you need something to show for it.


Don't mind my epistle

We work harder outside of Naija

The average Nigerian is a hard and smart worker!
we struggle a lot, however no result as the environment and policies are designed to keep ypu down at all times.
