Someone else on this thread disagrees with you, says Nigerians in America do better than the African Americans.

Go and face that person.

There isn't a Nigerian on this forum who doesn't know that if we travel to anywhere in the world together I will receive much better treatment because of my blue passport than he will. In fact, he'll be held up in a custom's interrogation while I breeze through.

Again, if Nigerians were doing so much better than us in America, why are they banned from becoming citizens?

In one case 80 were arrested for fraud: https://abc7chicago.com/fbi-busts-nigerian-scammers-80-charged-in-massive-cyberfraud-conspiracy/5486947/

If I had to Google them, then they are not really famous, nor had significant inventions.

There is a reason why scientists Newton, Faraday, Einstein, Planck, Ohms, Curie and the rest of them are famous even to street urchins.

I'm so embarrassed for you. Must you continue to show the failings of the Nigerian school system? And must you out yourself as a street urchin?
Then again, most of you didn't even know about the TransAtlantic Slave Trade and that black Americans were brought over from Africa centuries ago, so I'll give you a pass.

No significant inventions? You heard of traffic lights? ironing board? refrigerated trucks? automatic elevator doors? breathing devices?

Since you're a beginner, we'll start slow. Begin with these 8: https://www.history.com/news/8-black-inventors-african-american

These are scientists: https://interestingengineering.com/the-a-z-list-of-black-inventors

We've been attending ivy leagues since the 1800's. I may post more on that later. I don't have time right now. I've gotta go. But here's a list of more current, popular black American celebrities you may like that you did not know went to ivy league schools: https://www.essence.com/celebrity/celebs-ivy-league-schools/


Notice these are all mainstream/white sources--not blogs. With the exception of the last source Essence magazine which targets a black American audience.

Again, much love to my Nigerian family. I have nothing against you. But I'm also not going to let you degrade or lie on my people either.

Ifeoluwav:
What Nigerian celebrities do is to show off their wealth and pride on social media, then travel to America and UK. No sustainable impact.

Which is unfortunate.

The other great thing about black Americans is that we love you as our family and have your backs too.

Remember the kid who painted several famous Nigerians and got crickets, but when he painted Kevin Hart, Kevin reached out to buy the picture and support him? That's the love we have for ALL black people, especially Africans who we consider family. That's why Oprah built such a huge, beautiful school for girls in South Africa AND she put all those girls through college. She considers them her daughters and treats them as such.

The worst thing Africans can do is make black Americans your enemy. If we close ranks and turn our backs on you, you're really done. We protested in the 1960's to allow you to even come to our country. For you to come and try to claim you're so much better than us? Bad idea. Not only is it not true, but it's a bad move on your part.

Shattuck:
but the white immigrants built most of america to what it is today,what makes a nation is it just the landmass or the institutions?

Here's a VIDEO of Trump saying that BLACK AMERICANS BUILT THIS NATION THROUGH GENERATIONS OF BLOOD, SWEAT AND TEARS.

They simply picked the best in terms of muscle distribution and height for strenuous duties in plantations.

Is that what makes a man better than the other in this age??

Shame on you

Let's talk about moral uprightness and intelligence.

STOP! You think the ones killing and SELLING their own people were more morally upright? You're not intelligent if you're so morally bankrupt you're selling people-much less the biggest and strongest among you.

khia:


I try to tell them this but for some odd reason the truth hurts their egos

Truth hurts.

Nigerians are killed by police at a higher rate than black Americans. Their police are known to bribe, harass, and create false charges for the purpose of money on a daily basis. They're also known to target people with nice electronics and phones and kill on a whim. An 18 year old was recently gunned down in Abia State while delivering goods. I only know about it because I saw it on a Nigerian blog. And I see these things on Nigerian blogs a lot.

Everyone worldwide can name black American victims of racism and police brutality. Right now protests are happening all over the world because of George Floyd.

Our President commented on it, Beyonce, EVERY entertainer known to man black and white. Major corporations like Netflix and Nike have spoken out against the brutality against black Americans. Even TikTok came out in support of us after being accused of censoring mention of our plight.

The only Black History Month anyone is aware of is ours in the month of February. Again, it's acknowledged by our President. Major corporations and everyone stops to acknowledge our contributions to the world. Most people didn't know other countries had Black History Months until Naomi Campbell made the mistake of trying to claim ours for all black people. Everyone quickly spoke out to tell her how wrong that was. Only then did many of us discover England has their own BHM in October to celebrate so they shouldn't try to infringe on ours.

We galvanize the world's attention in a way no other black group can. Why? Because of the respect we earned by fighting for and gaining our rights in a country that had no intentions of giving them to us. We showed our strength by DEMANDING them. The world has no choice but to stand up and give us our respect.

Gmajor:


You do realize that police brutality is a big issue in the US?
White and Hispanic people are also victims of police brutality.

Yes, but how many whites are Hispanics are subjected to the kind of inhuman treatment Black are made to go through? Its not even close in comparison.

AkataWoman:

Asians are the most successful immigrant group in the US. Egyptians are the most successful African immigrant group in the US.

A Nigerian manipulated data by comparing Nigerians to SELECT GROUPS OF SUBSAHARAN IMMIGRANTS. Then Nigerians ran with it instead of fact-checking.

If Nigerians were such a successful asset to America you wouldn’t be BANNED FROM APPLYING FOR CITIZENSHIP now. Trump didn’t ban ALL African countries-just a few. Nigeria was big on the list.

Why? Because there are more of you here causing trouble and not being successful. The manipulation of our census data is just one example of the type of dishonesty the American government has come to expect from many of you.

I love my African family but I won’t stand for the lies.

Trump does not care about African Assets though. He leans towards white supremacy I think so what Nigerians contribute to the US is not important to him.

STILESGANG:
What is real wealth?.The same one that makes africa the most impoverished continent on the planet?

Really? The so-called AAs you are talking about are trailing all other races and ethnic groups in America in almost every area of life. Even the Almighty U.S of A still have more than 40 million people living in poverty line and relying on food stamps to survive. Friend, poverty is rife in Africa, but not limited to Africa.

Maduawuchukwu:

I somewhat agree with you. But many Asians in the US are doctors and contribute to our country in other skilled jobs. As much as he can't stand China, he wouldn't ban them from citizenship for that reason.

The reality is that Nigerians don't contribute as much to the US as you'd like to think. While the vast majority of Asians in the US are educated professionals who rarely commit crimes, the same cannot be said for Nigerians.

He didn't ban all African countries. Just a few. Nigeria would not have been on that list if they were contributing in the way you guys like to say you do.

We're not trailing Nigerians, that's for damn sure. And we're doing DAMN well and have been considering the odds against us.

What the hell is Nigeria's excuse? AAs were taken to America as property that was never to be considered human. Over 400 years later and we're greatly outnumbered by Whites.

Nigerians have remained on your own soil and make up the vast majority of your country. Yet, you're no better off than you were when my ancestors left 400 years ago. Still no consistent electricity. In 2020. How?

AAs created whole schools, colleges and universities when we weren't allowed to be educated in white ones. Most of your young are selling wares for school fees instead of being in school full-time while the tables have turned to the point that all races are applying to go to our black universities.

The fact that we have foodstamps makes us better off than the poor in Africa. Food stamps are available because those of us who work pay taxes. Nigerians don't even make enough of a living wage to pay taxes--IF they can find jobs.

Poverty is not limited to Africa but it's a hell of a lot worse in Africa than anywhere else in the world. We have poor in America, but not on the level of poverty in the US. At any time our homeless can find a bed in a shelter or get free food.

What's your issue with black Americans? You sound really jealous.

Appleyard:
Yes, but how whites are Hispanics are subjected to the kind of inhuman treatment Black are made to go through? Its not even close in comparison.

Please research before you type.

Whites and especially Hispanics catch hell with cops too but AAs raise more hell.

Jealous? You must be joking. Stop making silly excuses for AAs.
Nobody support nor canvass the course of AAs more than I do on Nairaland, but just because I'm black doesn't mean I should close my eyes to reality.

The current generation of blacks are their own worst enemy on multiple front. Take it or leave it.

Yes, you guys have suffered for many years, bled, killed, and desecrated upon. But gone are the days of physical slavery. Today's America, though still divided across racial lines, is far more better than the Jim Crow era.

Now, AAs can vote, do business of thier choice, now have every opportunity to go to schools, make wealth and create more wealth for generations to come. Even with affirmative order, prestigious colleges are within their reach. But, what do we have today, many black male don't go to school, and even some that manage to go drop out half way. It is sad but they are the least educated of all the races in America. Facts don't lie.

Without education, how can you sustain the immediate wealth you've struggled to build on the long run when the next generation kicks in? This is the major reason they don't do so well in businesses like other races do. Don't cherry-pick Jay-z and a few others, on aggregate terms, AAs are the least most uneducated of all the races in America.

They have all the infrastructures and opportunity at their disposal, if they have fully harnessed it, like coming out to vote during elections, most of all these nonsense that's happening now would have drastically reduced.

Imagined despite just making up about 13% of the US population, AAs make up the most incarcerated race in american prisons and jail houses, no thanks to the highly racist justice system, in part, but also for being less educated thereby becoming more prone to crime, including the ones they never committed. But whom should we really blame? If African Americans have harnessed even 70% of the opportunies they have, maybe folks like George Floyd would still have been alive today, with the racist cops knowing that if they try anything stupid, highly educated blacks in all areas of the political and social order are waiting to take them to the cleaners. But is that what we have today? No one is taking your lot serious because you refuse to add value to yourself.

Apart from the institutionalized racism, Slave mentality and entitlement mentality is one of the major problems with black people. When you continue to reflect on the past, unwilling to acknowledge where you are now, and not been able to map out the future, the only enemy you will see is the whiteman, whereas, you're part of the equation as well.

Here is the catch: if the average Nigerian has all the resources and opportunities your lot has, they would be building houses in the sky. Creativity without sustainability is like anointing without success, which is annoyance.

As for Nigeria as a country, we have been a cousin of darkness since Genesis
Chapter One, and will remain so, not until we decide to grab the idiotic leaders that we have by the balls, calstrate them and eliminate them can we have constant power supply in this country.

But, even without all such vital resources, we still thrive and excel on multiple fronts.

And with everything you said, BLACK AMERICANS are still the most successful, respected black group in the WORLD!

What does that say about Africans who claim to live on the richest land in the world? Why don’t you have the infrastructure, schools, etc? Your land has existed billions of years.

Why is the best you can hope for in life is to come to the country black Americans built and leech off of our accomplishments

Now go do actual research instead of regurgitating what you heard 80% of black Americans are middle class or higher. Our women are the most educated group.

Accomplish even a fraction of what we have then you can judge.

In the meantime get to work building up your country.

Nigerians contribute much relative to our population in the US. Nigerians in America are officially not up to a million but statistics suggest about 50 percent of our Population have college degrees making us one of the most educated ethnicities in America relative to our population. Surely, these college graduates are not gang banging or engaging in Yahoo Yahoo in their majority; they must be in professional employment contributing to the economy productively. These makes Nigerians significant contributors to the US relative to our population.
Trump's official reason for suspending Nigerians from migrating to the US was because of security risks or was it because our people are overstating their Visas. However, the reason why he could do it with such ease is because Nigeria unlike China or other Asian countries is weak and does not have leverage. It is not an issue of us not making contributions to the US. That is just my opinion though.

—College educated (black) AMERICANS are unlikely to engage in scamming and yahoo. Many educated Nigerians have been arrested for being involved in scams. At least one “successful entrepreneur” was highlighted in the news articles I gave links to.

—You can’t compare a filtered minority of immigrants to an entire local population. If that’s the case, 100% of black Americans living in Nigeria are educated compared to what? 3% of Nigeria’s population.

An accurate, more valid comparison is to compare the education of ALL (black) Americans in the US to ALL Nigerians in Naija. You don’t measure up.

Most immigrants are SELECTED for the sole purpose of going to our schools or because you have a degree in a certain field.

In EVERY country expats (and many immigrant groups) are more educated than the natives because there are so few of them and they’re “hand selected”.

—Trump’s *official* reason for banning Nigerians is because of visa issues. But our official government stats show that Nigerians are not the biggest overstayers in the US. And other African countries have government law as weak or weaker than yours but they didn’t make the banned list. Furthermore, do you really think Trump is intimidated by China? Have you been watching the news? He’s banned Chinese press, defunded WHO, insisted on calling Corona the China virus....Our President “ain’t never scared!” Face it, there are more of you being arrested, scamming and just being troublemakers in the US than there are contributing in a positive way.

Lol. This your argument is full of lies and is baseless. First and foremost, how can you say that only 3% of the Nigerian population in Nigeria are educated? Do you have the statistics to back this spurious claim up?

Thank God you said at least one educated Nigerian was arrested for fraud. Just one of how many hundred thousands? Dont BA have educated folks engaging in high level fraudulent activities too? Do you use those people to class the general population?

It is true that immigrants generally have a higher level of education than the natives of a place due to selection method and the rest. However, children of Nigerians immigrants who are now native Americans are still keeping the flag flying. That is a great feat that should not be discountenanced.

If the reason Trump banned Nigerians from migrating to the US is because we contribute little, why did he not ban other African countries who contribute even far less than Nigerians?

Lastly, stop allowing your rabid hatred for Nigeria block your thinking and make you emotional. There is no way or even evidence that Nigerians in America are causing more trouble than they are contributing positively. Please produce the Data of Nigerians in American cells vis-a-vis the general population or even the population of Nigerians in productive occupations so that we can compare and contrast.
