Bullshyt narrative is being polite. It is actually a fugging lie. People are always talking shyt, but they don't research anything. They constantly do apples to oranges comparisons to make a point, when if they would just do apples to apples comparison they would get a truer answer.
This report details education in Nigeria as of 2018. Read point number 8. There are only 1.7 bachelor degree students in Nigeria in a county of 230+ million people who supposedly value education:
Nigerian universities have 1.7 million Bachelor’s degree students.
Now read this report. In the USA where ADOS/FBA don't even make up 50 million people in the USA; the ADOS/FDA undergraduate enrollment declined from 2.67 million students to 1.99 million students. Based strictly upon population size ADOS/FBA attend college more than Nigerians not only in raw numbers, but in percentage of the population. So clearly ADOS/FBA don't value education. What people are doing is comparing immigrants that come to the USA for education against a whole group of existing citizens. Nobody would compare a bunch of educated African Americans who went to Nigeria against the Nigerian population, but they have no problem doing the opposite.
According to the Census’ American Community Survey, in 2021 12% of the total U.S. population identified as Black or African American. Among Black residents aged 25 or over, 22.6% had earned a bachelor’s degree or higher. This rate is up from 17.9% in 2010, but falls short of the national rate of 32.9%.
