This is the real story of Igbo and Yoruba (we all know they are the two major ethnic groups from Nigeria here in the USA), and to a lesser extent, Edo and Delta folks in America; not the sprinkling pockets of crime committed by a tiny few from these groups. I wish Igbos and Yorubas in Nigeria can duplicate this, working with their Edo and Delta counterparts. But no, you ''heeediiiiiooooots'' back home are busy fighting each other over crumbs, leaving the Fulani/Hausa to eat the real flesh. Shame on southern Nigeria for refusing to take the lead of Nigeria.

Without a doubt, if Igbos leave Nigeria, the story of Nigeria will not be the same any longer. If that happens, both Nigeria and Biafra shall be the losers.
Therefore Igbos agitating for Biafra must think hard and long about it. And Yorubas sucking Fulani/Hausa anus must think long and hard whether what they get from Fulani/Hausa is worth the perpetual backwardness that they are being dragged into by F/H.

WASHINGTON, JUNE 28, 2017 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- About 61 percent of people with Nigerian ancestry age 25 and older had a bachelor's degree or higher - more than twice the U.S. rate of 28.5 percent, according to a U.S. Census Bureau report on Characteristics of Selected Sub-Saharan African and Caribbean Ancestry Groups in the United States: 2008-2012 released today.

This new report from the 2008-2012 American Community Survey covers the population who reported Sub-Saharan African ancestry - Ethiopian and Nigerian - and Caribbean (West Indian) ancestry - Haitian, Jamaican, and Trinidadian and Tobagonian. These ancestry groups were selected due to their relatively small populations and being under researched compared to their counterparts. About 2.5 million people in the United States identified as one of these ancestry groups, or around 0.8 percent of the total U.S. population. This represents an increase of about 2.1 million, or around 469 percent, since the 1980 Census.
"Acquiring a college or other advanced degree was a major factor for many people of Nigerian ancestry coming to the United States, so it is not surprising that twice as many had a bachelor's degree or higher compared to all people and the other selected ancestry groups," said Dr. Stella Ogunwole, a demographer in the Population Division.
The report also found the rate of labor force participation was 71 percent or higher for all of the selected groups compared to the U.S. rate of 64.7 percent. Thirty-six percent of the civilian employed population age 16 and older in the United States worked in management, business, science and arts occupations, but the Nigerians - the most educated group - had the largest share in this type of occupation at 52 percent.
"Each of these ancestries carved a different immigration path to the United States: many sought technical training, advanced education, political asylum and better opportunities with the thriving labor market," added Ogunwole.
Ethiopians were the fastest growing among these ancestry groups - growing from 1980 to 2008-2012 by around 2,400 percent, and Haitians had the largest numeric change over the same period, with an increase of about 777,000 (862 percent).
"The New York and Miami metro areas in particular had large concentrations of people of Jamaican or Haitian ancestry," said Darryl Cohen, a geographer in the Population Division.
These findings came from the 2008-2012 American Community Survey. The report also used decennial censuses back to 1980 to compare changes in population for given ancestry groups, since ancestry was first measured in the 1980 Census. The findings from the report include the geographic distribution of the population in these ancestry groups, as well as various demographic and socio-economic characteristics, such as age and sex, household type, nativity, educational attainment, labor force participation, occupation, earnings, poverty and homeownership.
Other highlights:
Age
• The two Sub-Saharan African ancestry groups (Nigerian and Ethiopian) and those of Haitian ancestry each had a median age of about 30 years, younger than the other two Caribbean groups (Jamaican at 34.5 years, and Trinidadian and Tobagonian at 35.8 years).
Labor Force
• Nationally about two-thirds (65 percent) of the population age 16 and older was in the labor force. People who reported Nigerian or Ethiopian ancestries had the highest participation rates (76 percent each) among all the selected ancestry groups.
• At least 71 percent of people age 16 and older with Haitian, Jamaican, and Trinidadian and Tobagonian ancestries participated in the labor force.
Geography
• The geographic distributions of these ancestry groups vary considerably, with those of Haitian, Jamaican, and Trinidadian and Tobagonian ancestries most concentrated in Florida and New York. The Ethiopian and Nigerian ancestry groups are more widely dispersed across the United States.
Language
• Even though English is the official language of Nigeria, less than half of the population reporting Nigerian ancestry spoke only English at home (43 percent).
• Eighty percent of the U.S. population age 5 and older spoke only English at home. Among the selected ancestry groups, those with Trinidadian and Tobagonian (95.5 percent) and Jamaican (92.7 percent) ancestries were most likely to speak only English at home.
Foreign-Born Status
• In 2012, 13 percent of people residing in the United States were foreign-born. By comparison, almost three-quarters of the population reporting Ethiopian ancestry (72 percent) were foreign-born, the highest among the selected ancestry groups.
• Approximately six out of every 10 people among the other ancestry groups (Trinidadian and Tobagonian, Nigerian, Jamaican and Haitian ancestries) were foreign-born.
Homeownership
• Those with Jamaican ancestry had the highest rate of homeownership among the five groups, at 53.7 percent; the national rate was 65.5 percent.
The American Community Survey is a nationwide survey designed to provide communities with reliable and timely demographic, social, economic and housing data for congressional districts, counties, places and other localities every year.

Without a doubt, if Igbos leave Nigeria, the story will not be the same any longer. If that happens, both Nigeria and Biafra shall be the losers.
Therefore, Igbos agitating for Biafra must think hard and long about it. And Yorubas sucking Fulani/Hausa anus must think long and hard whether what they get from Fulani/Hausa is worth the perpetual backwardness that they are being dragged into by F/H.

Ade!
don't be stubborn?
are you not Yoruba?
I don't love those who hate others?
God is differences, and who can't accept the differences hate the work of God!
even in your family every one can't be same!
you are not the creator!

oladeebo:

Ade!

are you not Yoruba?

No I am not Yoruba. Both Igbos and Yoruba share blame on the present state of Nigeria. With these two groups, the Fulani/Hausa should not be deciding what goes in that country.

Part 2 of this thread is here

Imagine if Nigeria is been restructured today, about 2/3 of nairalanders account will remain dormant, cos their state govement wont b able to pay salaries and as such will retrench most workers, and they won't be able to buy data, or most of them who ran business in that state will abandon their businesses and such there will b no money to purchase data.
And most of this tribalism will stop.
And seun will become poor.

Lol

Of course. Even while creating an eye opening and wonderful thread, our American sojourner had to let his crass bigotry seep through. What good is your exposure if you could descend so low? It's a shame You're just another hypocrite

Dude, you need to see beyond your anus. I have so much respect for Yorubas that I marvel with dismay at how low they could sink hobnobbing to death with H/F, who ordinarily are beneath them (the Yoruba) in all facets of life. Anyways, ....when you roll with pigs, you get the dirt. Got it

And by the same token, I'd say Igbos, whom I am one of, have not done enough working with other southerners and progressive northerners (mainly middle belt) to put the H/F where they belong. Again, I repeat, shame on Igbo and Yoruba.

and lower in the mire and sewer you continue to sink. Yoruba are hobnobbing to death with Hausa/Fulani but the ibo who had azikiwe/balewa, ekwueme/shagari, ojukwu/shagari/NPN, Ugoh/Tofa, Buhari/Okadigbo were not sucking arewa anus then? what were they sucking? The balls i guess?!! When did your folks stop whoring with the arewa? You're not only rolling with pigs, You possibly have become one yourself. Your shamelessness is on another level. Tufiakwa!!

And by the same token, I'd say Igbos, whom I am one of, have not done enough working with other southerners and progressive northerners (mainly middle belt) to put the H/F where they belong. Again, I repeat, shame on Igbo and Yoruba.

In your mind now, You've come down hard on your tribe o. You were so merciless in your washing of them with this post that i should give you a prize for 'untainted candor'

Continue with your clowning. nansense
