armyofone: Money to go to school is not the problem, how many are joining the military? Mind you, I am talking about an environment that could keep a kid focused. I know, a single mother who does not spend much time with her kids because of hustling might end up losing her kid to the streets. I used my cousin as an example. Immigrants as you say are hardworking. The same system that may affect African Americans are supposed to affect immigrants but determination and that family structure is there. They work hard for their kids to stay away from trouble and strive. 1 Like |

benalvino3: That must be what’s missing in Nigeria also because Sub-Saharan Africa has the highest number of single mothers in any hemisphere with Nigeria trailing Kenya for the country with the highest number of children born out of wedlock. This information comes from well-researched, peer-reviewed articles. 2 Likes |

benalvino3: Clearly you don’t live in the US because that isn’t a one size fits all thing for children of immigrants and it isn’t automatic that all immigrant parents Work hard. The parents and family here in America may not share the news with the family in Nigeria out of shame but some of those kids are out here committing crimes just as often as children of anyone else and some of them learn it from their parents who are heavy into criminal activities and fraud. Anyone who doesn’t believe me can go and look at the DOJ’s website or detailed crime statistics. 2 Likes 1 Share |

benalvino3: Do you know how many White meth addicts are married and under the same roof? Or how many couples stay married so they can’t be forced to testify against their spouses if they get caught in their criminal acts? It doesn’t matter if both parents and several generations live in the home, the children aren’t automatically better off with it. I was born here but I went to high school with several children of immigrants that weren’t born here but were experiencing severe emotional issues because of domestic violence in the home and some who were suffering because their fathers neglected the immediate family in order to send money back to family in Nigeria. Those kids are basically abused and neglected even though both parents are in the home and many of them go on to commit crimes. Stereotyping is very dangerous, especially since SOME Nigerian men have a reputation among Americans as lazy, abusive men who abuse, neglect, and abandon their hardworking wives and children but give the negative stereotypes to the black Americans or Carribeans. 3 Likes 1 Share |

benalvino3: No problem with taking 3 jobs as long as one partner is at home watching the kids when the other party is working. Things will go wrong if the only parent is working 3 jobs and no one is home to help with the kids The guy that finished school in record time likely had one of the parents helping with homework regularly and taking him for extra tutoring. That guy in a different family setting likely will turn out different https://ifstudies.org/blog/less-poverty-less-prison-more-college-what-two-parents-mean-for-black-and-white-children 4 Likes 1 Share |

IMAliyu2: I’d like to know. And it’s not just Black American neighborhoods because divorce statistics for Nigerian and Caribbean immigrants in America are sky high and rising so whatever his prescriptions are need to be applied to all Black people here in the US and abroad. I can’t wait to hear his prescription since SS Africa leads the world in single parent homes. His solution, whatever it is, needs to be applied to black people worldwide. 1 Like |

IMAliyu2:This is the question I prefer. It is easy for everyone to talk about symptoms but not talk about the cause. When the cause is known, the right prescriptions can be offered. Sara McLanahan, professor of sociology at Princeton conducted a study on this topic in 2019ish on a research paper titled: Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study. We know children of Blacks (AA, Africans, Carribeans) and Hispanics have an higher chance of coming from a single parent family. She mentioned the challenges these fathers face with the police and justice systems, with about 40% of the fathers spending some time in prison. 40% is a large number. Are blacks and Hispanics being profiled more than others? So many questions that needs answers. 1 Like |

1stGenAmerican: Lies. A new study by the Pew Research Center found that the U.S. has the highest rate of children living in single-parent households in the world. Approximately 23% of children under 18 in the U.S. live with just one parent, compared to 7% worldwide. The study found that children from Christian and non-religious families in the U.S. have a similar likelihood of living in a single-parent household. Other countries with a lower rate of children living in single-parent households include China (3%), Nigeria (4%), India (5%), and Canada (15%). The rise in single-parent households in the U.S. is linked to declining marriage rates and an increase in births outside of marriage. IMAliyu2 is just the modest of the problem. 1 Like |

IMAliyu2: Stay in the marriage even when your face is being turned to boxing bag or being pummeled/battered. High percentage of black relationships end due to violence. Wife beating is so high in Nigeria! Mothers stayed and deal with it their own way. Here, most won't take such bs - leading to break in the family. Ben, haven’t you heard or read that for most break in family, violence is the cause ? 2 Likes 1 Share |

benalvino3: Call it what you like but I have several credible sources that say differently. I’ll stick with my sources and post more specifics after reaching my destination. FYI: 5 of Nigeria’s top artists are baby daddies and one is a babymama. The guys have multiple children out of wedlock with multiple partners. The most popular blogger is a babymama and the romance section on Nairaland is filled with single parents, both male and female, but no one ever uses them as examples. We all need to stop the stereotyping because it is very hypocritical. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2352827316000033
