15 million Nigerians want to go to America – survey

Around 13 per cent of the world’s adults – or over 640 million people -would like to emigrate with roughly 150 million, including ten million Indians wishing to settle in America.

So suggests a new Gallup survey giving the US an undisputed title as the globe’s most desired destination for would-be migrants since Gallup began tracking patterns in 2007.

Would-be migrants who express desires to relocate to the US most likely come from populous nations such as China (22 million), India (10 million), Brazil (7 million), Nigeria (15 million) or Bangladesh (8 million).

In addition to the almost 1 in 30 adults globally who would like to permanently settle in the US, vast numbers are attracted to the UK (45 million), to Canada (42 million), to France (32 million), and to Saudi Arabia (31 million).

Despite large numbers of people in China, Nigeria, and India who want to migrate permanently to the US, these countries are not necessarily the places where the US is the most desired destination.

Potential migrants aspire to move to countries all over the world for the simple reason that they are in search of opportunity, Gallup said.

Opportunity could mean the chance to join family members who are already in other countries, to start a new business, to express one’s views without fear, or to live where children are treated with respect.

The reason the US is such a highly desired destination for potential migrants, in addition to being the land of opportunity, could be that many Americans are accepting of migrants in their communities, Gallup said.

Who wouldn't want to live in the United States? The land of milk and honey, the land whose roads are paved in gold, America the beautiful.

I know I am being superflous with my words, but the Untied States is the land of opportunity, and it still remains a beacon of hope for the world's poor. A nation of immigrants from across the globe has made the United States truly great.

In America, we are free to take practical steps to bring our ideas and dreams to life, which explains why people risk their lives to come here and to attain citizenship.

God bless America.

That quote is true. The United States has been a refuge for people across the world. Unfortunately, some of my ancestors did not have that choice and were brought to this continent in chains.

u sure? hey, i dont want to be insensitive but the truth is, as at then, those ancestors were part of the "tired" and "poor" becos it was either they got tired of fighting or were too poor to afford the tools necessary to defend themselves, that was why they were put in chains in the first place and became part of the huddled masses yearning to breathe free.

makes sense, huh?
