well, Nigerians are everywhere really. The trick is where does a Nigerian find a job? That will decided where that Nigerian will settle,  Someone said Nigerians are like roaches but no i think they are more like salt or sand,  I also saw a movie that shows how Nigerians do everything to go to European countries. According to the movie, every second, every minute, every hour there is a Nigerian trying to leave the country. Nigeria has a population of a 150million so what does that tell you about the country,

I heard it is Baltimore in Maryland.

Well Maryland is not a city, but a state, but Maryland has the largest numbers of Nigerians. You will find many Igbos and Yorubas in that state. Some live in Baltimore, others live in PG County with a few sprinkled in Howard, Baltimore, and Montgomery County.

More than a few. If we are to go by square mile of each state, then I think the number of Nigerians in Maryland may exceed Texas because Maryland though a small state, has a lot of Nigerians.

You guys can't believe this. I lived in Indiana briefly and believe me i saw some Nigerians there. Actually i met a good amount of Nigerians and it wasn't a good experience. I know a few live in Arizona and some live in Boston. I have come to NE Ohio too and i was told i can show where the Nigerians are at. I said listen, I know where they are and i will locate them myself when i am ready. Right now i kinda prefer to just do my own thang. My family was living in some part of Pennsylvania and there was a very little Nigerian presence but nonetheless, i have peace of mind until i relocated to Indiana and encountered those blabber mouths and womanizers over there. I know some live in Yonkers, NY and some counties North of NYC. Some live in Wisconsin too. I have no doubt Nigerians live in Hawaii. Just sick and tired of everyone who knows a Nigerian wanting to introduce me to all of them. I mind my own business and need not know every God damn Nigerian out there.

So much said about the city or state where most Nigerians lived in the state.

My questions is for peeps that lived in in Houston. What advice do you have for someone who want to establish a small but tasty and mouthwatering delicatessen outlet(eatrey) in houston. Im not a citizen but I have friends who can assist in terms of using their name to rent space or shops etc. Honest advice pls
Re: Which City In America Has The Most Nigerians? by laglad: 10:27pm On Nov 09, 2012
@Gelatoman I hope you're still hot on your idea. Here is a link to 101 cities with the most residents who were born in Nigeria - http://www.city-data.com/top2/h118.html

I'm actually also in the food business but I'm a student. For an entrepreneurship class, I started www.NigerianFoods.com.

the topic has just about been covered i should think.


most of the info is correct i guess.


however, after a while people may tend to move out of their comfort zones into relatively unfamiliar territory, even though the majority stay where they are.

What attracts Nigerians to Houston, the weather? Arizona is hotter but don't have that much Nigerians there.

The oil industry.

@dolliepie, even way back in Naija, my aunt used to tell us that some residents of MD died of heat strokes. Could not believe it, neither did I know much about the ailment until I moved out here and found out that some residents, particularly the elderly are most vulnerable to heat strokes in the East Coast and the Chicago area. Baltimore is a nice city, but I understand, it is a crime infested city. Visited Columbia, a wealthy enclave of MD. I was in Silver Spring during my mini vacation, and I tell you, Nigerians, plenty for that area. Not too long ago, I read an article about the number of Nigerians living in MD. The population alone for Silver Spring was about 15,000 (hope my memory serves me well).

But what is the main attraction that lures Nigerians to Maryland? The place just did not really entice me, apart from my family members. Crime is too much, and real estate, though not as ridiculous as California, still is expensive.
