CNN Blasts Trump For Banning Nigerians, Lists Their Achievements In The USA by Sundahjoe(m): 10:08pm On Feb 17, 2020
A CNN analyst and popular talk show host, Fareed Zakaria, has criticized the Trump administration after giving analysis of the ban on Immigration from Nigeria and why it “does not make sense.”
Nigeria and 5 other countries were slammed with visa restrictions from the US government in February for a range of reasons stemming from overstays and poor intelligence sharing.
The American journalist, however, said the “argument does not really make sense”, citing a data from CATO institute.
According to the data, “No one born in Nigeria, Myanmar, Tanzania, and Eritrea have been responsible for a single terror-related death on American soil between 1975 and 2017.”He went on to list some of the achievements of Nigerian immigrants in the US saying;
“They are some of the most educated immigrants in America. “According to the Migration Policy Institute, 59% of Nigerian immigrants age 25 or older in the US hold at least a Bachelors degree, which is nearly doubled the proportion of the Americans born in the US (33%),” Zakaria said.
“Nigerian immigrants tend to work high skilled jobs, 54% are in largely white-collar positions in business, management, science and the art compared to the 39% of people born in the US,” he added. This, according to Zakaria’s analysis, means that Nigerian immigrants have significant spending power.
The American journalist also cited a new report by the New American Economy which states that Nigerian immigrants in the US in 2018 made more than $14 billion and paid more than $4 billion in taxes.
The report also states that Nigerian diaspora around the world sent back almost $24 billion in remittances, contributing to the Nigerian economy that is “more dynamic than many people, including Trump himself realise”.

I still support Donald Trump and the Republican party . All of this is nothing but election strategy. Remember lots of Nigerians host fund raising events for democratic party. But Nigerians should note that : Obama's Democrats is the reason why boko haram expanded in Nigeria. Democrats are toxic to Africans but most blacks have been brainwashed into loving the dems.

CNN are hypocrites. We were told beforehand about the ban and if the needed measures had been taken there wouldn't have been any restriction in the first place but since we failed to do the needful Trump took the right action

They are the most useless, ignorant, and stupid generation we've ever had. Bunch of know-nothing block heads that hate themselves like nothing I've ever seen.

Go to America that has 40 million blacks. Trump's support in the black population is less than 4%.

Yet these Nigerian brainless youths have never sought to learn WHY their cousins in America are against Trump. A man that is a PURE RACIST, who refused to rent his flats to black people, and refused to let black accountants work for him, saying ''I don't want no n.......s counting my money'', and who is reported as using the N word frequently in private.

Even now, the racist has banned them from settling in the US, yet, they continue to sing his praises. If those are not slaves what are they? All that's left is to padlock their lips and handcuff them to complete the picture. Ignorant wastrels and a disgrace to blacks and Africans worldwide.

Why weren't Indians, Pakistanis, Indonesians, or Saudis banned? You think there is no terrorism and insecurity relating to those places?

Osama Bin Laden is Saudi. He and his friends reportedly killed 3000 Americans on 9/11, and destroyed their World Trade Center twin towers in New York. Yet Saudis freely enter America till tomorrow.

Yea he's actually correct. Seeing Some unpatriotic mumu people above me. They're ready to suck on Trump's wrinkled balls and worship him like he's a god.

Listen up, i have been to the US before and i can tell you Nigerians are far educated than the US citizens.. Nigerians are very hard working and focused people over there. Sometimes last year, some Americans went on twitter to talk about their very positive encounters with Nigerians in the country. They talked about how hardworking, accommodating, educated and focused we are. Yes, we have some bad aggs living in that country too who involves in shady deals and all but that's normal with every country including Americans themselves and believe me, Nigerians don't come close to the top rankings when it comes to Cyber crime activities. I can confidently say that Nigeria do not fall in top 10 countries in cyber crime ratings... Also,Nigerians do not get involved in any form of terrorism over there in the US and that's in the records too. The percentage of good Nigerians are way more than the bad ones.. Trump is just being biased about this plus the fact that we presently have an administration in which rate of insecurity and terrorism in Nigeria is on the rise and the President has proven to be so incompetent as well... That's all i can say is the reason for the ban... One thing i know for sure is, if it were during GEJ time, this wouldn't have ever happened because we'll still have some level of respect in the global community. Take it or leave it.

You are a disgrace to the black man.

We have too many fools in Nigeria and I am ashamed of sharing this country with people like you.

Someone just commended Nigerians in USA which encompasses both Yorubas, Igbos, Hausas, Fulanis, Edos, Ijaws, and etc. and yet you still find a way to blame the democrat and Obama without addressing the main issue.

What should we call this foolish attachment to Trump even at the detriment of your own race. Could this be a curse?

They did not paint the right issue that led to the ban, they are just obssesed with the trump admininistration. Truth be told Nigerian government was warned 1yr before now and nothing was done about the issues raised about identity management in the country. CNN just want to cash out using any news to their advantage.

Bro sometimes I cry for my fellow countrymen. Some Nigerians are fools that have no self love and they have been psychologically battered such that they have no inherent dignity.

Nigerians in USA are so successful in all endeavors and we are well represented in universities across USA either undergrad or graduate degrees and within Fortune 500 companies.

CNN just brought out a self-evident truth that’s already available in the public domain and it’s ridiculous that our fellow countrymen will hate people of their creed just because of a mentally blind love for Trump.

It's not a curse, bro. . It's low IQ and inferiority complex. Intelligent, self-confident people would research a person before liking or disliking him. Nigerians don't research. All they see is a tough talking white man on telly and that's enough for them.
