That there are more than 25,000 Nigerian medical consultants in the US alone? Consultants (Surgeons of all kind, Geriatricians, Pediatricians, Cardiologists, Orthopedic Surgeons) not General Practioners.
That the richest man and woman of African descent alive are Nigerians - Dangote and Alakija?
That Dangote is richer than Trump, Oprah and Abramovich, combined?
That there is at least one Nigerian professor at every IVY league university in the US (Harvard - Professors Jide Okechuckwu Nzelibe, Dehlia Umunna & Jacob Olupona, etc; Cornell - Professors Carole Boyce Davies & Biodun Jeyifo, etc; Princeton University - Professor Chika Okeke-Agulu & Winston Soboyejo, etc; Yale University - Professor Theddeus Iheanacho; Columbia University - Professor Abosede George; University of Pennsylvania - Professor Yiwola Awoyale, Osagie Imasogie, Chika Nwadiora, & Chyke A Doubeni) except Brown and Dartmouth - Chinua Achebe finished from Brown and he was highly revered by Dartmouth College for his work?
There is, at least, one Nigerian Professor in most US top universities.There are six of us in the University where I work?
That the second largest film industry in the world is Nollywood - Nigerian film industry. Bigger than Hollywood in terms of annual output?
