Wow.

Nigerians in Yankee are in the millions .


Your list is outdated or only captures Nigerians who have attained US citizenship or permanent residence .

I am sure that Nigeria's that are documented illegals are in their millions.

Lagos and Abuja not on the list.

you Gax be joking...Nigeria in both UK and US should be more than 500K separately

This is actually false.

Ghana, Ivory Coast should have a higher number than a lot of these countries

Nigerians in Texas alone pass 300k

Then, how many Nigerians are in the US (first, second and third generations)?

In the UK: https://www.beta.ons.gov.uk/aboutus/transparencyandgovernance/freedomofinformationfoi/nigeriansintheuk#:~:text=The%20number%20of%20people%20that,0.5%25%20in%20England%20and%20Wales.&text=The%20figures%20provided%20are%20for%20England%20and%20Wales.

At 500K, it means Nigerians will shoot up the percentage of Blacks in both countries and in the case of the US would constitute a conspicuous demography amongst Black people. This will raise eyebrows.

well, that number I came up with wasn't really factual, I just reasoned logically..I'm from ondo state buh was born and grew up, schooled and lives school in Lagos..in 90s and early 20s' I used to travel to Ondo state every holidays that came up, as a teen,I blended wit so many households, including those that doesn't even belong to my family. I noticed that almost all.the households had family abroad, especially in USA, London and others..and it's a common belief that almost all households in ondo state really have family in those places really... coincidentally, I do, not 1 not 2 my wife too, she has very close relatives in USA, Canada and France...so this is were my logic manifested from

You are probably right.

CXLVII:
Lagos and Abuja not on the list.

On a diaspora list?

I don't know of other towns in ondo state but while I was still working in ondo town, I realized you can't find a family in that town who doesn't have a person either in usa or uk

Infact, they help themselves as far as going abroad is concerned

You must also find a professor too in a family..

bro U are 100 correct concerning helping themselves and year it's peculiar in ondo West, that's ondo town..
lif you know igbomoba street, surulere in ondo town....during dz times I mentioned, ,90s n early 20s' during any festive periods like Ogun, Xmas Nd new year..the way that particular street used to be busy with foreigners ehnnnn...almost all the houses there must have at least one foreign returnee...and the entire ondo would be busy,.all the joints, hotels, bars and beer parlours would be steered up by all these returnees and they spent all extravagantly

This list is inaccurate. Nigerians in the U.S. are more than 300k. Those in the UK are about 250k as the total number of blacks in the UK are just under 2 million of which the majority are Caribbean. There are more Nigerians in Canada than those in UAE, Germany and Brazil combined. I mean, how many Nigerians are in UAE with their strict immigration policies. The data left out Nigerians in other African countries like Ghana, Ivory Coast and Cameroon. Nigerians in those countries should be near a million altogether.

It's been a while I left ondo, I can't remember the mentioned street but I know surulere

many no get papers so wont appear on official statistics. Nigerians in America will be about 1m in my opinion

that street beside that tall central mosque opposite Ugele Ale...that market.
it was just where I used to stay whenever I went for holidays...I only know places like Ayeyemi, Yaba, Sokoti and Adojomu and that Surulere, precisely Igbomoba as we have family houses in these areas..

Anyone that came to 🇺🇸 before 2010 without paper go don get paper by now, so your guess is slightly off. For me I will put the number around 450k -600k
