That's the work of Naija bloggers...the original article was edited

Sensational journalism ..

Nigeria no dey top 10...

Why making it appear as if Nigerians are there to milk the USA

What's the contribution of the Nigeria immigrant to USA economy...let's also see this.

In Trump's USA, because he is a bigot and racist who has now gathered the biggest congregation of bigoted right wingers ever to shape the direction of America, issues are about highlighting what is bad about immigration and "foreigners".

Never the good that outweighs the bad in the case of Nigerians for examples.

I was coming here to say 33 is extremely low. Anyone who has a child gets public benefits for the infant automatically

Nigerians have an evil mind and love to insult and defame nigeria
the same bloggers are saying that Anthony Joshua's accident happened because bad nigerian road, but the road his crashed was perfectly paved and his driver was speeding and driving wrecklessly

This man just dey reason nigeria matter even when is obvious some countries have high numbers than nigeria for benefits. Inec and judiciary should be ready. No escape route for the drugie of bourdilion.

Idiot, He should also share the percentage Nigerian immigrants that pay heavy taxes.

franchasng:
This is shameful. Why can't they work? I never knew Nigerians were this much on benefit in the US with several opportunities, really sad

Says the man who has never travelled out of his state boundary

And the denigration continues!

Nigeria is conspicuously missing on the list of countries benefiting from the US public benefits, yet it's singled out for unbridled attack.

Any iota of bad news about Nigeria gives them the kick!

Some are even asking the deranged Donald Trump to mete out the Maduro treatment on their President.

This is how low they can get!

What the US, under DT, is currently doing are extrajudicial and a dangerous precedent in global political relations.

It's the rule of "might is right"!

It's like Nigeria going into Benin Republic to capture their President just to prove that Nigeria is the Giant of Africa!

What an anathema!

Putting immigrants on welfare is a bad idea . They will take it for granted.

I doubt these statistics.

It really depends on what these "welfare support" are.

Don't mind the joker. What benefit does the USA have compared to the UK and most European nations? Ignorance and lack of exposure is a disease.

They are talking of benefit and USA sef dey open mouth to talk.

I think only those who have not travelled to the USA will praise her because the nation is a glorified Nigeria with stupendous wealth living next to excruciating poverty whereas that is not the reality of the best nations in Europe that try to ensure a decent standard of living can be secured for most citizens.

Try to read and understand, they mention 10 higest countries and 10 lowest country, so nigerian is in d middle

OkanlawonB:
There is no good functioning society that can do without a good social welfare system, and more so should not be discriminatory based on immigration status.

We should rather be aiming at having a good social welfare system in Nigeria.

Senseless APC supporters think that taking away every form of subsidy from citizens- fuel, electricity, education while increasing taxes and borrowing recklessly is the sign of good governance.

Every nation on earth have one form of subsidy or the other....it's a social safety net for the citizens to benefit. If I pay so much taxes and benefit nothing from the government then why should I keep paying?

This clearly shows Nigerians living abroad are generally lazy and unhealthy.This is pathetic regarding the fact that Nigerians are among the top immigrant groups in terms of population.lt reeks of laziness with that high percentage.I am very much certain,it's a similar figure in the UK and Canada with more social security benefits.

I was so pissed off after reading the details of the news. Our media need to do better!

33% is still very much a huge figure.

The size of your population and resources is the reason.
Nigeria is a shame.

Go and read about Bhutan.
They are a wonderful people.
The male and female pilots of their commercial airlines are among the best in the world. They can fly a big plane on any terrain.

How did you come to this conclusion? It certainly can't be from inspection of the facts presented because Bhutan is highest with 81.4 percent of their immigrants to the USA needing State benefit .

Whereas Bermuda is lowest with 25.5% of her immigrants getring benefits.

How can anyone, except a self-hating Nigerian, say Nigerians are "generally lazy and unhealthy" when 33.3% of Nigerians, not significantly higher than the lowest figure of 25.5%, receive welfare Benefits?

In which Western nation, Whether UK or USA, have you noted Nigerians being termed "lazy" rather than "hardworking, motivated, achievers, talented, driven, inspirational, brilliant" etc?

Some of you self-haters sef. Would it not be easier to change nationality and just turn your back on Nigeria and leave her and her public discussion space, like Nairaland, for those of us who still believe in her ?

The remaining 66% are paying TAX to feed your drug addicts and homosexual citizens, so shut the fucck up you mentally unstable psychiatric patient

Check out pedestrian logic and talk. What has topic got to do with population of Nigeria for you to then conclude Nigeria "is a shame"?

Nigeria is not a rich nation and we all know why our people Japa. Meaning many may need some State assistance to settle when they reach their overseas destinations.

Yet, in no time, many Nigerians go on, be it in the UK or USA, to begin paying back by supplying high value professionals (in fields like Medicine, Engineering, IT etc) to their host nation.

I don't know the hate in the heart of some of you for Nigeria that can now make you begin denigrating Nigerians presence overseas whereas the rest of the world actually laud the successes of Nigerians for their capacity to contribute massively to the professional job sector of their host nations overseas.

It says a lot about the character of people like you that you ignore the positives related to Nigerian migration overseas whereas many non Nigerians are full of praise for that positive contribution of Nigerians to their nation.

The truth is that Trump and his band of racist and anti-immigrant right wingers are about deceitfully accentuating what they want to present as problems of immigration so as to justify any evil crackdown on immigrants they are planning to pursue.

ICE is a gestapo-like menace on the Streets of the USA today while Trump has had to be reigned in by the courts for attempting to deport folks without recourse to due process.

What welfare benefits sef the USA dey pay? I have visited at least 6 States in the US and all I can say is may God help you if you need benefit in the USA.

When I saw the destitution and squalor in Harlem, the Bronx and some parts of New York for the first time, I was shocked.

When they talk of state-funded benefit, what the USA offers is a joke in comparison to others nations on her level of civility like the UK, Germany, Switzerland, Sweden, Lichtenstein, etc,etc.

Most Europeans, in terms of average citizens, are much more dignified and sophisticated than Americans. That's the truth even well-exposed Americans will confess and perhaps admit to envying
