“They give other Nigerians a bad name.”

Yeah, every other Nigerian I’ve ever met was a real prince.

“They give other Nigerians a bad name.”

I worked with an engineer from Nigeria, a great guy to work with! A US Navy veteran and Citizen of the USA.

I mentioned this to a friend deep inside the educational system, he explained that Nigerians in the USA are AHEAD of most Americans.
He showed a bunch of numbers to back it up.
A quick search...

Nigerian immigrants have the highest levels of education in this city and the nation, surpassing whites and Asians, according to Census data bolstered by an analysis of 13 annual Houston-area surveys conducted by Rice University.

“The typical saying in a Nigerian household is that the best inheritance that a parent can give you is not jewelry or cash or material things, it is a good education,” he said. “It is expected.”

I have heard almost the exact words from Jewish friends!
