What Are The Top 10 Mind Blowing Facts About Nigeria? by kzubyar(m): 4:11am On Jan 22, 2020
Hehe

I was actually waiting for this question, so I could show the world how much Nigeria means to them.

Let's Ride…….

"A Russian saw me in my office and said where are you from , i said am from the greatest country in the world. He looked at me with a very strange look and said let me guess u are from Nigeria , I said yes. Out of curiosity he said considering whats happening in your country now why would you say shes the best in the world and I asked him to sit down and let me tell him what he and most people dont not know about Great Nigeria and I told him these;

Are you aware that all over the world Nigerians are setting the pace and becoming the standard by

which others measure themselves? Do you know?

1. In the US, Nigerians are the most educated immigrant community. Type it into Google and you’ll see it. Not one of the most educated, the most educated.

2. 60% of Nigerians in the US have college degrees. This is far above the American national average of 30%.

3. Nigerians in US are one of the highest earners, typically earning 25% more than the median US income of $53k.

4. In Ivy League schools in Europe and America, Nigerians routinely outperform their peers from other nations.

5. A Nigerian family, The Imafidon family, have officially been named the smartest family in the UK.

6. The designer of the famous car, Chevrolet Volt, Jelani Aliyu, is a supertalented Nigerian from Sokoto State.

7. The World’s fastest supercomputer was designed by a world renowned inventor and scientist, Philip Emeagwali, a full-blown Nigerian whose patency was awarded in 2015. This means Nigeria has the patency to the world’s fastest computer: a Nigerian.

8. The wealthiest Black man and woman on earth are Nigerians, Aliko Dangote and Mrs. Folorunsho Alakija. Both have no trace of criminal record of any kind.

9. South Africa couldn’t have ended apartheid & achieved Black rule if not for the leadership role Nigeria played.

10. Of the 3 South African Presidents who ruled after apartheid, two of them once lived in Nigeria under asylum. Both Nelson Mandela (60s) and Thabo Mbeki (70s) lived in Nigeria before becoming President of South Africa. We gave financial support, human support, boycotted an Olympics and our politicians, musicians and activists campaigned relentlessly.

OK… I have gotten to 10, but I just would not stop till I get you convince Nigeria is king worldwide.

11. Nigeria spent over $3 Billion and lost hundreds of soldiers to end the wars in both Liberia and Sierra Leone which the world ignored because they have no oil.

12. When there was a coup in São Tomé and Príncipe in 2003, Nigeria restored the elected President back to power.

13. Before there were street lights in European cities, ancient Benin kingdom had street lights fueled by palm oil.

14. 500 years ago, Benin casted metal alloys to create magnificent art including the world famous Queen Ida Mask.

15. Amina was a warrior queen who ruled Zaria Emirate in Kaduna state, Northwestern Nigeria 400 years ago in 1610. Google and see what she means to Africa.

16. We gave monetary gifts to Ireland during our oil boom and built a statue for France free of charge. We are not poor blacks. Nigeria is rich and don’t be lied to.

17. The first television station in Africa was NTA Ibadan (1960) long before Ireland has their RTE station...Wherever you look in this great country, Nigeria, heroes abound both now and in our recent and ancient past. If all you do is listen to mainstream Western media, you’ll not get the full & true picture of your Nigerian heritage...We’re not a nation of scammers, drugs & corruption, but a people with a verifiable track record of greatness...

Here is what CNN, BBC, Aljezeera and western media will not tell you about Nigerians:

18. On the 7th of May, 2016 at Howard University in Washington D.C history was made. Out of 96 graduating Doctor of Pharmacy candidates, 43 of them were Nigerians and out of 27 awards given, 16 went to Nigerians. The
