I do not need New York Times to tell me about how upwardly mobile Nigerians are. I look at myself and the search for an improved status in the US and I see other Nigerians doing the same...Igbo, Yoruba, minorities all. I see us and I am proud. However, since New York Times confirms it, I have to agree with them.

Strangely Buhari only opens his mouth to spit rubbish when he is abroad. Is that not a sign of inferiority complex?

Less than 3% of Nigerians are Criminals & are Exposed to the outside world. This doesn't make the Majority 97% plus, Criminals. A PATRIOTIC President Must make this distinction & PROMOTE the image of his country! It is a SHAME President Buhari has FAILED the nation in this regard!!!

Note its states that a forth have graduate or professional degrees, NOT COUNTING THOSE WITH BACHELOR. The intelligence of Nigerians and their advancement has been documented many times in the past. You have MORE Nigerian doctors than Black Americans, shocking but true.

My take is that if you can survive in Nigeria, the rest of the world is like kindergarten. So when they get the chance to make it, no holding back.

Even in criminality, NOT THAT IM SUPPORTING IT ( before someone quotes me), do you know the ingenuity it takes to succeed.

Ignorance is a disease, some people just won't let this propaganda die! Buhari never called Nigerians criminals, if you feel differently then it's obvious you suffer both from comprehension issues and insecurity. The NY times article is almost 2 years old and we surely don't need a newspaper article to point out the obvious! The same NY time has accused Nigeria of being one of the most corrupt countries in the world and when Abdulmutallab did the unthinkable they wrote numerous articles on the history of terrorism in Nigeria so be careful relying on Western media like NY times as a credible source of praising Nigerians.....

The one's that the New York times are referring to are LEGAL residents who have no choice but to behave themselves. They are in a place where you dare not ask for or offer bribes. Mett out jungle justice as you see fit. Utilize a POV however you want. (https://www.nairaland.com/2927024/lagos-driver-places-plastic-chair/1#42827401) A place where every citizens right is upheld as best as possible. Where personal space is respected. Where personal boundaries are recognized. Where the law is guaranteed to clamp down on you in a blink of an eye. Fabricate stories so as to defame individuals out spite, boredom or ill intent at your own peril. #Linda ikeji.
And most importantly, where you have to obey the law in it's entirety. Which one of these applies to Nigeria?

**** you will never learn, all you know how to do best is to criticize the God sent president we have now in Nigeria... most Nigerians outside Nigeria are busy doing drugs, in-short evil businesses which many are sentence to death by hanging. that's not our pride... God bless Nigerians that are out there for good business and woooo unto those that are spoiling our name.

If the intention of whoever actually wrote this piece is to employ this inconsequential report about Nigerian high-fly graduates from Havard to denote how great and progressive Nigeria and Nigerians are, then he or she is obviously experiencing severe loss of contact with the reality in Nigeria. How has, or could their Havard degree assuaged things in this 0v3r-phuck3d excuse of a nation.

You're a lady calling someone "fool" because he have a different opinion.. This shows a lot about your upbringing...

He had issues with the president, who made you the President's advocate? Did God told you that he sent the President?? You not only insult someone but lied on God.. Shame on you!!!

There are Nigerians that are drug dealers and all that, generalizing is indeed cruel. Are you a drug dealer?

An African-American actually raised a topic yesterday explaining away why they're unable to succeed in America, totally denying various publications citing Nigerian as the most educated people in the US.

@KidStranglehold, I hope you take a look at what the New York times have to say about Nigerians.

is it good or bad knowledge it is only fools that will disagree that some Nigerians abroad are spoiling our reputations, is it our stupid politicians that are looting our money oversea, or those that have associated themselves with terrorism, or those that are into drug trafficking, murder and theft and prostitutions.Let's stop deceiving ourselves.
