Probably because this group is self-selected (the hard working & ambition, etc) there are no tribal identity issues here!
If the pattern is the same in Nigeria as elsewhere in Sub-Saharan Africa, it’s because their government sucks.
The people I have known in eSwatini (fka Swaziland) are some of the hardest working, humorous, and joyful people in the world. Most Swazis might share complexion and some physical features in common with US citizens of African ancestry and that’s about all the similarity there is.
The country itself has some beautiful places in it, but overall, it is a heartbreaking ——hole. But for the King (Mswati III), his 14 wives, his family, and his buddies, life is peachy...
All those ‘offers’ from Royalty over there via e mail and phone calls to invest in a sure thing must have gotten them enuf to get over here HUH ??
I wonder, after all, the rest of the world was so nice to them.
Because Nigeria like most African countries is made up of a dozen ethnic groups and has a large Muslim population in the North to boot. Most Nigerian immigrants are Igbo who are Christian and have the highest IQ out of any other ethnic group in Africa. This is actually going to make Nigeria worse because the brain drain means all of the talented people are going to flee elsewhere.
Their country helps them come and get an education here so they can help there country. BUT they don't ever go back.
Because half of Nigeria is under muzscum rule, Boko Haram, etc.
