The average Nigerian immigrant to the U.S had close to 15 years of education on arrival.
Which is very high.

The average years of education completed in the U.S is just over 11 years, and for Nigeria is just over 7 years of education.
factfish Average years of schooling, ages 15 and above, total world statistics and data
So actually the average Nigerian we get to the U.S, is about twice as educated as the average Nigerian, and about 1/4th more educated than the average American.
This proves the educated Nigerians are hyper-concentrated in the U.S.
It's not a matter of Nigerians being more intelligent, but that they're elite is more concentrated in the U.S.
I don't know if that's true or not but if you want to go there, they're not only the cream of the crop of Africa ,they are the cream of the crop of the academic world if you are going to judge them by a statistical review of their academic achievements as a group being compared to other groups...including Asians.'Before we get too deeply ensconced into your subtle inference to the populist view of black mental inferiority let's lay that lie to rest and view AA in a broader context, shall we?Would one of you proud to be white posters provide examples of how Affirmative Action has hurt whites?
My opinion and several studies says that it hurts Blacks. Because they get "promoted" by AA into more demanding schools and have higher "drop-out" rates. If you WANT and NEED to keep your scholarship, best NOT to over-reach for prestige. It's not even NECESSARY -- because most UnderGrad work is the SOShit at almost every Institution. The time to pull "the race card" would be on entry to Graduate School.
It also hurts Blacks if they don't commit in respectable numbers to the harder -- better PAYING -- degrees. So just GETTING THERE is not the goal. By FAR -- making the MOST of the opportunity should be the PRIMARY focus. We're just not getting the STEM enrollment out of AA applicants that would HELP equalize the playing field. MAYBE medicine, MAYBE law -- but by FAR -- the AA entrants are STILL under represented in the curriculums that offer a fast track to social economic parity. That's because of PREPARATION in HS and the racism of low expectations.
At the same time -- the Black Studies and Black History and Black Arts and Culture wings of these places are getting bigger and more elaborate. Seems like a waste of an AA benefit to me..
Africans have the highest educational attainment rates of any immigrant group in the United States with higher levels of completion than the stereotyped Asian American model minority. It is not only the first generation that does well, as estimates indicate that a highly disproportionate percentage of black students at elite universities are African or the children of African immigrants.
Now these are pure bred Africans who se mental acumen was not hampered by the invidious effects of slavery. I said that because they are outperforming not only their black Brothers here in the United States but also are topping everybody else. So, if African high achievers are able to outperform even the much-touted Asians, affirmative action made that possible. Otherwise, we will still be languishing under the false impression that Africans are incapable of attaining such high standards based on racist rhetoric and inauspicious innuendo.
But the academic success of African immigrants has uncovered something else.Top universities turn out black and Hispanic computer science and computer engineering graduates at twice the rate that leadihnology companies hire them, a USA TODAY analysis shows.
Yes, as incredible as it might seem, the collective brainpower of outstanding African immigrants and their bright AMERICAN COUNTERPARTS is being wasted. Affirmative ACTION was designed to address issues like that...so why has it failed our most qualified citizens?
Most of those African immigrants are the crème of the crop of Africa, though.
And don't think these gifted Africans are North Africans.NOOOOOO! The brightest of them all are the Nigerians.
So...if Affirmative ACTION is so damn anti- white male...how come the most educated academic achievers in the world, who happen to be black, are under employed once they become American cutizens?
