I honestly do believe this is true, particularly the "Impulse-Control" and "Superiority Complex". These two are mostly common with Nigerians. |

Nigerian-Americans are bringing pride to Nigerians across the globe. Cream will always rise to the top. Someone has to do it. |

cramjones: I have read this book and the previous book the author wrote. It is a thing of pride to know that Nigerians excel in every endeavor all over the world not just the United States. That said, while I agree with the cultural aspects the author pointed out, I make bold to say that those factors only contributed probably about 50% of what makes Nigerians successful. nice writeup |

Yea...Nigerians are insecure...It's very evident with the way 'Jonathan not making speech', 'Nigeria not mentioned in....' blah blah type of threads are always created unnecessarily. btw, the article says "Group of people" not race. above all, I don't really care what you say woman. ...Who da hell is she btw? 1 Like |

She probably chose Nigerian so she doesn't come across as racist, the list includes a group from each race, go figure. Chinese, Indians and Nigerians are most definitely boasted by their over-population, obviously there's selection for the most talented and ambitious when it comes to immigrating to the US. |

As unpopular as this woman's books are, truth is that she's saying the dang truth. They'll trash her in the US media. Stereotypes thrive in America (and indeed the whole world) and stereotyping is difficult to eradicate. Nigerians have been stereotyped to be criminal and crooked. But beyond the stereotypes, things are happening. No Nigerian comes to the states just to do menial jobs. They end up going to school, getting a degree and doing professional work. Many are doing well and those still struggling are going to school. That's the spirit. CNN won't report it bc it's contrary to the stereotype. But this babe does. 2 Likes |

Well said ........ until you ruined it with that "politicised" horse-shyte! APC and PDP are just the two sides of the same coin! Like Michael Jackson will sing: .....

It is high time we forget about our flaws or weakness and look at our strength!. It is common to see Nigerians pointing hands at the government for any negative development or corruption but the plain truth is that corruption nor bad leadership is the cause but we are the cause of our problems.We are proud of our ethnic group, our religion, Our smartphones but never proud of our country! We are forgetting we are the 7th largest producer of oil in the world,we have the 10th largest proven reserves.We are the only Africa country that grows cocoa in 1 year unlike our neighbours that spend 5 whopping years!,We are the largest producer of cassava in the world.We have the largest stock exchange in Africa.About 10% of america surgeons are Nigerians.We study abroad and return with 1st class.We are an envy of many nations.Over 40% of our population are from 16-40 years,This literary means if you put 20 large company like Toyota in Nigeria our work force will be more than enough for them,japan are jealous of this.Investors from all over the world are begging to have a bite from our resources.Our era of gold is just starting while the Saudi arabians own era are ending. They is more to all these.We are not just the "giant of africa" but the giant of the world and our own people will not see this. Let us work together to improve the image of this country.There is more to nigeria than just the 419s,corruptions,boko harams etc Do something for your country no matter how small.Open a blog and share the beauty of your country.They are too much entertainment blog in Nigeria. Just because linda ikeja made it doesn't means you will too.Nelson Mandela once said "The world will not respect Africa unless Nigeria earns that respect" |

She's definitely right on the Superiority complex thing, even other African countries can attest to this fact and hence the hate from them,even form neighboring countries. |

This is El-rufai talking cramjones:El-Rufai, thank God for once u have admitted -using ur moniker- that the administration in which u served as minister, was ruinous to Nigerians and Nigeria. You and the other nation destroyers have ganged up in APC, and are scheming to return to power; to continue the reckless looting and deprivation that u were not able to complete. If GEJ has allowed ur kinds to continue with their selfish and debilitating deeds, am sure by now u would be a staunch supporter of GEJ, and even propose a third term: irrespective of what people will say. My one single prayer, is for you to remain politically irrelevant for the rest of ur life. |

PAGAN 9JA: Lebanese Indian Chinese Are they races? Blame it on the ignorant Nigerian newspaper and original poster of nairaland not the authors or America. They said 8 superior groups in the USA not 8 races Maybe if you stopped worshiping amadioha you will see more clearly Chau and her husband, Jed Rubenfeld, just released a controversial (and some say racist) parenting guide called 'The Triple Package', where they declared there to be [size=18pt]only eight successful and superior groups of people in the US. |

Having a party affiliation is one thing, but how about depending less on government. We Nigerians are intelligent, smart and incredibly street-wise hard workers. The Government has failed us, but against all odds, we will continue to prevail! One Nigeria! |
