Cultural Center for Nigerian Diaspora in U.S. opens in Washington D.C.

[Voice of Reason]

Describing itself as the first immigrant and cultural center for the Nigerian diaspora in the United States, The Nigerian Center was established to provide a connection to the Nigerian culture while offering financial inclusion and social justice opportunities for members of the Nigerian American community in the United States.

Located at 1231 Good Hope Road SE, “The center curates cultural programs for first-generation Nigerian-Americans and will support newly arrived immigrants with culturally sensitive transition and self-sufficiency opportunities,” according to information on its website.

The Nigerian Center also “aims to complement and amplify the efforts of community-based nonprofits serving the African immigrant community in the United States.”

The Nigerian Center was founded by Gbenga Ogunjimi, an expert storyteller who has worked with the governments of the U.S. and several emerging countries to empower profit and nonprofit leaders.

On May 25, the Center sponsored an Immigration Rights Workshop featuring Attorney Kodwo Ewusi, founder of Fibi Law Firm who in 2006 started practicing immigration law, representing numerous pharmaceutical companies, IT companies, and individuals before federal agencies, immigration courts and appellate courts.




An advertisement about the virtual event said it would “discuss immigration policies that have changed since the last administration and will shine a light on new opportunities for identifying pathways for permanent residency status in the U.S.”

That's the problem tho. U gotta separatism-type attitude (when black folks should be united). Y'all got that Jewish mentality. They think they're better than other cacs (they're not). Y'all think you're better than blacks here (you're not).


Blacks (we) over here, dictate the culture (globally as well)...not Nigerians.

Nigerians are really not successful when you consider your global population size. Nigerians are the LARGEST black group in the world. There are 200M Nigerians vs 38M black Americans. But Black Americans are the face of black excellence. The only reason why Nigerians have the " Model Minority" status in the US is that the white power structure is using them as a wedge against black Americans. But everywhere else in the world Nigerians have a horrible reputation. Outside the US and UK, Nigerians are largely considered criminals, scammers, pimps, drug dealers, and prostitutes.

This sums up the logic of internet FBA movement lol. Pure cognitive dissonance

So do asians, because cacs allow it and you're a small group and no threat to white supremacy so they give you good paying jobs to use you as buffer class against FBA.

You sound like a conservative white who believes in propoganda. Y'all make more than Black Americans is simply the manipulation of data. There are 400K Nigerian Americans vs roughly 40M Black Americans. We have the full socioeconomic distribution of black Americans because 99% of the Black Americans in the world LIVES in the US. Whereas 99% of Nigerians on the global live in Nigeria and the only ones who are able to make it over are the ones with social capital, wealth, and skills. So you compare this small group to the average black American and not a similarly educated Black American counterpart. Every black Billionaire in the US is FBA, the Largest black-owned companies are FBA, the Largest Black real estate developers are FBA., the best black athletes and cultural creators are FBA. Nigerians are delusion to think otherwise

Pretty much every ethnic group in the US has something catering to them.
