Lol. You are right and they are close to the real picture but success is relative to each situation. Do you consider yourself successful driving Uber 15 hours a day just to stay above water or someone with Master's in Nigeria doing group home on Yankee? Average Nigerian are hardworking abroad but hard work does not pay that much except you invest in yourself. Double your working hours increase your tax bracket and you will be surprise how much you have to refund to IRS at the end of the year.

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.

As people from the south of Nigeria migrate to other countries, the Abduls, Mohammeds, the Aishas get happier and flooding down south to occupy their lands and take control of the natural resources in the south.

This grand design has been adopted since many years ago by the Abduls, Mohammeds, Aishas from northern Nigeria.


PMB nearly succeeded with RUGA to acquire lands in the south of Nigeria for the Fulani, if not for the firm resistance from the SW of Nigeria.

Nigerians outside are successful just like every other person out there who's not American but stays in Africa. They're a whole lot of unsuccessful Nigerians abroad too but those ones, you can't find them in the media cause just as they're friendly environments for anyone, anywhere to succeed same are there environment to silence you forever and that's why you see more often people talk about them.

Nigerian Government is evil, they're the devil incarnation in human form so is every other Nigerian out there.

Nigerians employ their fellow Nigerian, will implore their services through cheap labor yet despite how much gain they make, they can either choose to sack you any day cause they know your hands are tight and won't and can't do anything, these same employers of labour are also part of the numbers throwing shades at the people's government, calling them all sort of evil names while not looking back at their own evil does.

The politicians whine and dine with those they're supposed to be scared of, they openly pledge solidarity when the rest of the world thread with caution, they join hands with the capitalist to rip every last drop of the natural resources we have, at our expense while they progress.

The people are so inhumane, vipourous and so deserving of whatever government they have, it's a government VS the people; everyone wishes to be where the government is and when they get there, they empty the treasury and pass down to another thief who keeps wishing.

Let's rephrase it, "why are Southern Nigerians, especially Biafrans, so successful in America and abroad?".

Answer, because America recognises hardwok and merit which Nigeria denies them.

Must you bring tribe into everything?

It is a bad way to think and live really.

Statement like @bolded is reason why Nigerians will never succeed in Nigeria because you have already cap your success by not been Abdul, Muhammed and Aisha.

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?"

System rewards education. Hard work is relative.
Professor in Nigeria earns less than a thousand dollars while Illiterate politician can buy the country.

You've thrown two fallacies together.....$1000 is 500k Naira, what is the cost of living in Nigeria that 500k Naira per month is considered is considered poor salary? Even abroad, educators are one of the lowest paid professionals in the job market, a doctor can make over 400k dollars a year but a professor won't even smell 150k at most schools. Next, when you say politicians hope you checked their official salaries, it is worse than that of most professors but guess what they steal and cheat! Can your professors do the same? It is the same for any society, if you're willing to steal and cheat, you'll either have way more morney than the hardworking citizen or end up in jail poor and broken.....Let's not compare apples with oranges!

I think its your analysis that is capable of fallacies. We are not just talking of salaries but benefits in general. It is a fallacy to state that a Nigerian politician's benefit accrues from stolen funds. It is even more fallacy to state that Professors in America are as depraved as their Nigerian counterparts.
What do you tag cost of living? If you do not differentiate it from quality of living, that's another fallacy.
Mine is even a perfect logic as corroborated by many other opinions on this thread and the man directly below me: Nigerians are the most educated community in the US. US rewards education. Nigerians are very successful in the US. - Logic devoid of fallacy.
