@606onit did you just neg me because i said Nigeria is a dump? all I'm saying is that the country is in a very poor state whilst they seem to have a huge amount of successful people living out of it. perhaps they could go back and use their expertise to build their country.

fukk is wrong with that?

I cannot say that I have been there but from I have seen, in many facets, it is NOT "a dump." For you to say that WHOLESALE is irresponsible and again, even though I have no tangible ties to the "nation" I do reserve rights to the land in general. I found that broad, ignorant, and redundant propaganda offensive.

You could say England is a dump tho and I would not argue. ....

Not hating on nigerians but your country is a dump. perhaps go back and rebuild it? you do have enough doctors, engineers, teachers and other highly paid professionals in Europe and America to make a difference in your country.

That's basically what we're doing, getting high paying jobs ever here and funnelling money back home to buy real estate and businesses over there.

Nigeria is about to experience a huge economic boom and period of growth.

Nope can't and will never happen.
The country is too corrupt.

I have Nigerian friends with businesses over there and they say nothing gets done until you pay someone under the table.

Individual achievement is not interchangeable with cultural upbringing. The ability to discern what is attainable and what is detrimental is the key to thriving in any society.

What you saying goes against everything that top economists and even the the CIA World Factbook believes.

The bolded part is true but corruption doesn't really halt economic growth on a macro-level, and even at a micro-economic level corruption can be properly handled with 10 years of good governing.

Nigeria's biggest problems outside of corruption is Boko Haram aka the Poor Man's Al Queda.

Yea I assumed so, hopefully more keep their ways than lose them and African culture over here become something like the Jewish culture in the U.S.

Not sure Nigerians will sadly be able to replicate that in my opinion, I think the reason any culture has longevity and continuity is the power to stick together. Not sure how it is in the USA but I've noticed a common theme with many of my Nigerian friends who are 2nd generation immigrants. Often their parents will work very hard to send them to the best schools possibly which are usually predominantly white and somewhere along the line they become white washed. I have two friends who studied at Hopkins in the USA who are now at Harvard, both Nigerians, absolutely great guys but somewhere along the line both have become the most whitewashed characters I know. Often as immigrants in their attempt to prove they have not like 'other blacks' they also lose their way.

Nigerians are very open to mixing with other cultures which of course is great and nice, however this quality is what will ultimately stop them from having a dominant culture in the Western World like Jewish people have. Think of it, when the children of the 2nd generation who will half Nigerian grow up, they'll realistically marry a non Nigerian, then by generation 3 the Nigerian element might be gone. So they're on their way to continue having their huge western presence but what the Jews have won't come any time soon, if ever.

Correct.

Nigeria has the money but sadly the leaders are too corrupt to put it to good use.

It's kinda different where I'm from. Houston might not be the best example because we have the highest concentration of Nigerians out of any metro area in the U.S and Houston has a high population of middle- upper class black., but here even the most successful Nigerians mingle amongst other Nigerians and even blacks before whites or Asians. Thanks to the People's Clubs and other cultural groups plus family ties, cultural ties remain strong; also, the richest Nigerian kids will be friends and peers with the poorest without much of a class gap.

And from what I've seen kids born to a Nigerian and a American blacks are pretty much accepted as Nigerians if they want to be.

It's probably different depending on where you go.

 

[Jazzy B.]

In Europe them mixing has worked both ways. Some lose their way some don't.

However you are right that a change occurs.

There are many Jamaican Nigerians in the UK who have simply become too merged after dating Jamaicans, these one's tend to lose their core values and culture.

Some do, some don't.

Depends who they're mixing with.

Nigerians don't like Jamaicans and vice-versa, it's equivalent to the Indian/Pakistani rivalry.
