I was going through a data on wikipedia, average income of different American groups in the United states and i noticed something interesting.

The highest average income of any group is Indian Americans with almost $135,453 per year. Nigerian Americans average $60,732 per year, making them 68th position on the list, even Ghanaian Americans earn more than Nigerians in the US with an average income of $66,571 per year.

The highest of any African group is South African Americans with an average income of $90,517 per year.second in the list is Ghanaian and then Egyptians.

Nigerians claim they are the most educated group in the United states, Why then do they earn low when compared to other groups such as asians and Europeans?

Who knows? Probably they don't venture into IT and other high paying jobs.

Business and IT. Let sleeping dogs lie. This topic is not going to add value to anyone

Wow! The op must have interviewed thousands of nigerian-americans to jump to this conclusion.

So you have interviewed all the Nigerians in US ABI

Paid trolling.

Dunno but the first reference is a 1997 survey.....

No they are all updated. The recent update are from 2018

Na learn I come learn.

Nigerian American diasporas over to you.

You have said it all, lots of Nigerians here settle for anything!

A lot of those Indian Americans are into IT. They dominate the field. IT pays more than what most Nigerians do in other fields except the ones that are medical doctors.

Indians, like other Asians, jump at the chance to be p*ssed on by whites. They're hired by whites because they're willing slaves, not because they're smart and qualified.

Indians are in IT because whites know they can treat them like sh*t, pay them sh*t, and dispose of them when they feel like, and another Indian will be waiting to take their place. Chinese are manufacturing slaves for whites. They chose China because they can pay them sh*t and they don't have to concern themselves with treating workers like human beings.

If whites had to pay Indians real wages and treat them with respect, there would be almost no Indians or any other Asians in IT.

Asians are f*cking losers.

Btw Indians look like Frankenstein.

you need help. Seems you were deported from asia

Many reasons:

- Indians started making waves in the west before Nigerians. Not just in the US but also the UK. No Nigerian-British billionaire but there Indian-British billionaires.

- Racial discrimination. Although, Nigerians migrated to the US but are categorised as blacks just as African Americans. So whatever injustice the latter suffered by the virtue of skin colour, Nigerians suffered same.

- Nigerians don't attend top universities in same proportion as Indians. I can bet with whatever I've that there are way more Indians in top the 25 universities in the US than Nigerians. Top universities tend to send their graduates to top companies who tend to pay the highest. To get into these universities require writing standardised examinations, something Nigerians have started to shy away from because woke people say standardised exams are against people of colour. What they don't say is that Asians (Indians inclusive) are categorised as people of colour. So, if these tests (LSAT, GRE, GMAT, SAT etc) are against POC, how come Asians get higher scores than everyone including whites? Additionally, what they don't know is that by writing standardised examinations, the chances of being funded are high thereby reducing financial costs incurred for graduate studies. Question is: how do Nigerians expect to fund graduate studies in the US considering that they constitute the largest number of poor people in the world?

- Indians are way more entrepreneurial than Nigerians. If Nigerians were actually enterprising as being peddled across the media, how many successful firms in the US (both private and public) are/were owned/started by Nigerians? Compared to Indians, there's none! Literally none. In fact, there are Indian-American billionaires who made their wealth in the US but there's no Forbes or Bloomberg listed Nigerian-American billionaire. Please don't mention Ogunlesi - he's not Forbes listed. Although, he's an exception but that's where it ends - exception, which shouldn't be considered in the wider scope of things. So, you have successful Indian owned companies, what makes you think they won't employ their brothers and sisters from India, offer higher salaries and move them to the US? How many Nigerian owned firms (assuming there are big and successful) do same as Indians?

- Recently, I checked the data, Nigerians started going to the US in enmass during the '70/'80s, Indians started theirs in the 19th century, first mover advantage. Corroborates my first point. Not only is it first mover advantage, they solidified it and made headway.

- Game of numbers. There are successful Indian owned tech/IT firms who have invested massively in the US and can sponsor grads into the US. How many Nigerian owned tech/IT firms have done same in the US? Do you expect those Indian owned firms to employ Nigerians when there are gazillions of Indians - their brothers and sisters?

When Nigerians and black people in general learn to understand that economic wealth brings power, they will know better.

More f4ggots and the paid trolls who post their racist babbling. Apparently, $5 is the price of their dignity.

Hi, f4ggots.

This is the point in your write-up I agree with the most, blacks are stuck in the same vicious cycle of thinking:
Degrees/Masters/PhD = Good jobs = Wealth.

We all come here the same way doing the same thing... you hear business analysts are making money, so you all go get business analysis certification.. you hear nurses are high earners so everyone rushes to go study nursing.

Indians are not afraid to get their hands dirty.. they are business minded, fantastic entrepreneurs.. they dont come abroad with an individualistic mindset only to end up cleaning bums in hospitals whilst paying extortionate fees for masters programs..
...rather, they help each other in each other's businesses... they work collectively and pull each other up.. they house each other for free in their early struggling days, they join money together to establish themselves without falling out due to greed and selfishness...

That's the difference between Indians and Nigerians.

That's only the tip of the iceberg

Around 155 Indian companies are present in USA and employ more the 125000 Americans directly and invested more than 22 billion dollars directly into US economy.


Even in Nigeria there are 100 + Indian companies who employ the 2nd largest no of workers in the industrial sector after the federal government.

I wish naija do something

You don't need to 'interview thousands' to know the reality of your surroundings.. anyone who lives abroad knows this to be true.

Around 155 Indian companies ( with HQ in india ) are present in USA and employ more the 125000 Americans directly and invested more than 22 billion dollars directly into US economy.

Students of India institute of technology and Indian institute of management are in top demand not only in USA , UK , Europe but in Japan Singapore etc .

And let's not even talk about the Indian Americans.

Even in Nigeria there are 100 + Indian companies who employ the 2nd largest no of workers in the industrial sector after the federal government.

They are progress driven people.
We are money driven people.
