I could give you more sources ma'am.

How about this?
http://www.chron.com/news/article/Data-show-Nigerians-the-most-educated-in-the-U-S-1600808.php

Even Black Entertainment TV(BET), African Americans' number 1 station even acknowledges the Nigerians' pervasive education too! grin

http://www.bet.com/news/national/2012/03/20/survey-nigerians-most-educated-in-the-u-s.html

You did strike a nerve ma'am. But a kickass one. grin

Thank you for admitting I struck a nerve. How manly of you.

Can you find sources that is not an article....more like a census. Although we can't always trust census reports but they are much better than articles written by sole opinion.

Thanks in advance suga.

^^why dont you talk about the state of nigerians IN nigeria sir.
you will see some nigerians are actually not much better off than AAs.

Every ethnic group has impressive and embarrassing statistics.
[size=18pt]neither group is better than the other[/size].

you're not kicking ANYBODY in the azz, you're only stomping on your own foot.
this is what i ended up having to acknowledge after having argued with both AAs and
Nigerians
, as a caribbean. we are all equally fugged up.

and thats a FACT!

Nigerians themselves have "Ethered" your "we are better than you" claim on other threads.
i can post links if you want.

so take it for what it is, you are not AA, and so therefore their issues are not yours.
nobody asked you to respond, you took it upon YOURSELF to compare Nigerians to AAs
inserting all kinds of >> grin when in the end, IN your country it's not exactly glorious either.

and coming from a lineage that was notorious for selling their own flesh and blood
(who in turn became aas, caribbeans; etc), you might want to hide those teeth. wink

And Nairalanders have tethered me a brutal person. SHIDDDDD...this girl can kill somebody with few simple words!

The statistics on educated Nigerians was gotten from analysis of US census data and surveys. It couldn't get any more false than that you know. wink
It isn't no sole opinion.

On the American census..they group All Blacks together as African American/Black....No where on the census identify a specific tribe or country of origin. One Carrib chick complained that the census need to specify country of origin.

Secondly, the census is a compliation of surveys sent by individuals and those who didn't turn in their surveys were personally interviewed.

The interviewers aren't required to verify information given and people lie on their surveys.

I can tell you stories of the surveys people sent and quess how I know. grin grin

You may want to leave google alone.

[quote author=bigfrancis21]






African Americans do not have a specific culture as they were firstly SOLD OUT by their own people where they were mistreated forced by Europeans to discard their African ties and cultures. Ever seen the Roots Movie where Kunte kinte was forced to accept the name Toby? African Americans need time to heal; Africans must realise before they cast judgements on them. Secondly African Americans are not just from one particular African tribe but many different ones that all had different cultures and customs so AA are influenced by a fusion of Cultures.


I was once watching a documentary where a Afro-Caribbean guy went to Nigeria and started talking to some of the oldest Igbo people. When he questioned them about the slave trade and what they thought about Africans selling other Africans. their response was simply " The white man Brought good things here" There was no sign of regret from them at what had been done. The guy left in total shock that the Igbo's never showed any remorse for selling their own Kinsmen and children.


Funny how this is never Boasted about eh?

I need not convince you Bigfrancis21, almost every AA and Carib knows that we were sold into slavery.
Are you denying Africans sold other Africans? Where do you stand on the argument?

I'm not denying that. I was referring to the fact that you made up some Caribbean-guy-and-Igbo-pride-in-slavery-documentary tale which I debunked and I don't believe. I only asked for verifiable links to such so-called documentary and then I can comment on that. Coming to the issue of slave trade, In fact, I'm well versed in the dynamics of the Transatlantic Slave Trade and the respective african ethnicities that were sold into the slave trade. Going through my past posts of around early this year will confirm that. Kails and I have been through the slave trade topic severally in February this year, she got my point and she also knows where I stand.

Slave trade is a thing of the past. Its nothing to be proud of. Africans didn't initiate the slave trade. Whites came looking for black slaves themselves, and Africans played ball. It was a 50-50 game. There would never have been a Transatlantic slave trade if the whites didn't come looking for slaves in the first place.

That's bygone anyway. We are talking about current issues, you're bringing up past issues. Current issues and dynamics facing the Nigerian and AA peoples is the topic of our discourse. If you want to discuss slave trade and history, I promise you I'll give you a good run for your money. But that will be tomorrow. Its 1am wednesday midnight here. And my eyes are heavy.

Catch you tomorrow. wink
