And they are ruled at home by a Man with no known certificate

That's why it's called a brain drain. The best and brightest get opportunities abroad and leave

So, my supervisor in a new place I work here in the United States asked me where I was from the other day and I replied him Nigeria and he said he never heard of the country and the conversation pretty much ended there.

So two days later he walked straight to my table and asked me directly what's your qualification? I told him I hold a Masters degree, he asked me in what area, and I told him. I saw the surprise in his eyes and he dragged a sit and sat in front of my desk and started to tell me how he decided to look up Nigeria the previous day and how he was surprised he never heard of such a country which recent local statistics has confirmed are the most educated immigrants in the US. And to think that most of the workers here are pretty much High school (Secondary school) graduates and here I was humbly doing my job as though we were mates academically.

What I don't know and I didn't ask him was if he also found out how corrupt my home country is and I really hoped he didnt read that part. Since then he has been relating with me with elevated regard.

What I find most intriguing is the fact that only 11% of Americans have a graduate degree. Or did I mishear that figure?
Even in the UK, majority of their indigenes don't go to the university. Many feel it's a waste of time and resources. Even those that go, study courses that are not of much benefit to their society, and won't get jobs afterwards.
But in Nigeria (especially in the South), majority strive to go to university or other tertiary institutions. Yet, we are amongst the most technologically backward nation. Most of our professors are close to useless, our PHD holders too, no show.
Abeg, is there a curse/hex on the country ni?

i am not impressed academic certificate has benn left not so smart people,what i am interested is how many nigerian start ups are in america,our parents always think book i success but those are colonial talk.


The chinese,iranians,pakistanis,indians are there making good money from bussiness we are there gathering PH.D's,who that one help,in developed countries have more than a bachelors degree shows how untalented you are,because talented people often become successfull even without a bachelors degree all them nikola tesla no get degree see how far they have gone.

lets unlock our brains fellow nigerians i know some of you are happy with this but i am not,enterprenuership is the key..for your information Samsung is richer than nigeria which has a popularion of 190 million

By their choice. Nobody but Nigerians elected Buhari - twice! - against better judgement.

We may be book smart, but we're not very wise.

So you ban the ones that are genuine to discourage those that aren't genuine?

By the way, how far with Canada?

From US perspective it makes no difference. They’d all end up permanently in US.

As for Canada, just a matter of time

You are mixing it up
Do not be intrigued just research and talk with FACTS

Do not make false and unfounded assertions

HOW MANY UNIVERSITIES are in Nigeria,the UK and the US

Adults with university degree by country

Nigerians doing well academically in america does not truly reflect Nigeria to be honest the embassy uses selection process you have a hugh population wanting to migrate they just select the most academically qualified,win for america a big loss for Nigeria.it's still a nice one though

tricksters:
You should at least have the decency to shut up your foolish Igbo mouth then ?!

Sometime, wisdom means being silent in the face of foolishness.

it's still a nice one though

Nice how?
What is "nice" about it

BTW, nobody is interested in how many degrees you have.
That will not give the Nigerian diaspora leverage.

If Nigeria is a shitthole, then you are at best an asylum seeker in the eyes of America.

China and India have degrees too. But their real leverage is tied to the power of their native economy.
Nigerian leverage to America ended with the shale revolution.

Infosys an Indian company handles the entire US visa process, and is a strategic technical partner to IBM and Accenture.

That is real leverage.

There is no Nigerian company on that level. Big mouth and nothing else.

90% of the top 20 companies in America have Indian CEOs, while Nigerians are slaving in the lower rung of corporate America.

Truth is bitter. Nigeria has no leverage.

As long as Nigeria is a shitt stain, then you are at best an asylum seeker anywhere else in the world.

Is there any Nigerian company in America that employs 1000 people?

And you want respect.? I laugh.

Take the lies to your last days on earth.

It would not change the fact that Buhari attended the US War college, has been to the states, has been lauded by many international Generals, whilst you and perhaps nobody in your family would ever achieve any of those heights.

my friend buhari no get wassce certificate we are talking about school not war college

Tell the story to your children before you leave this earth.

At least if you tell a lie a million times it may turn out to be the truth somehow.

My sincere advice to you is to seek out your intellectual peers before commenting.
I am not very patient with unintelligent people

Even if you face that challenge must you flaunt it? Must you talk?
You see a post which you barely comprehend and then start growling and snarling like an oestral canine
