The American enivronment and the Diehard gene of Nigerians. WE BELIEVE WE MUST MAKE IT AGAINST ALL ODDS. If my cousin who has been on bad record for years in Nigeria could make it in USA, forget everyone can actually make it over there. 1 Like |

The Nigerian system is rigged to ensure that you fail woefully. Except of course, if you have the necessary connections and links. The American system works based on merit, so if you are hard working, you'll make it 2 Likes |

The law is strong there. And there is a reward system and it is merit based. You mess up, u get ur reward. You do well, u get ur reward. No 'obvious' nepotism. Oh, Nigerians are pretty servile when they see wetin pass them. Na here dem dey like show theirself 3 Likes |

It shows that an average Nigerian is hardworking and not lazy as our "LAZY PRESIDENT" presumed... we are hustlers that just need an enabling environment to thrive.... All Nigerians need is a System That Works 1 Like |

not what i experienced when i went to america. then again it depends on what you mean by succesful. i know in chicago almost all nigerians are taxi drivers while women do care work. if that is considered succeful i guess they all are . its certainly not the life for me. my ideal life will be in Rwanda doing remote work. 3 Likes

kponkedenge: No, we won't forget the bad eggs. Indeed, many Nigerians are resourceful and quite hardworking, but a large number are also involved in criminal activity such that it comes as no surprise when the news headline splashes a story about another Nigerian involved in one dubious scheme or the other. The nature of the Nigerian is to survive, and even thrive. Yet in doing so, a thin line is walked, often landing one on the wrong side of the mark - by choice. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

AkanjiNaira: I disagree…Nigerians in general work very hard. Those in the Uk, Usa, Canada and Australia etc availed themselves of the opportunities in those places. They make good use of the resources and opportunities in their environment…’in places that work’… Lots of people come on this platform to solicit advice on how best to invest the monies they’ve saved…they are paranoid of Nigeria unstable environment. In the Uk, Usa etc…there are loads of opportunities to invest if you’ve got the right idea and resources. There are plenty of jobs, if you love weapons and a bit rugged, there is the military to discipline and shape you up and also give you the opportunity to become a leader. If you love to read and research, this is the right place for you to rise and shine…no randy lecturer will try to frustrate you. Nigerians simply smell opportunities in those places and dive in and make use of the opportunities. 4 Likes |

Nigerians are successful not only in America but everywhere. Notwithstanding the bashing of our educational system, there is something in it. My take is that our curriculum is tough, robust and great in content. Yes it might not be dynamic in terms of digital technology. But its really good in content. Go to South Africa more than 30% of their medical practitioners finished here in Nigeria some even in the not so rated universities. Same in Europe too across professions. Even our Military guys or Police, once we step in, we top the class even those that graduated with average classes of degrees from here take over their classes. It's not majic. Something prepares us psychologically and knowledge wise. 2 Likes |

FalseProphet1: @the emboldened. That's not possible. Countries cannot absorb that number because it runs into millions. What I see happening is that Canada, US, UK, UAE, and Australia will take Nigeria's best brains, leaving behind the idiots that always shout vote for Tinubu, Atiku, etc. 6 Likes 2 Shares |
