Upper class

Upper Class is socio economic term not just economic, I don't think you'd find anyone who would argue that there are Nigerians among the American social Upper Class. 08:09, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

Areas of concentration

This is confusing. It says these are listed by size, but within the sections, identifies other portions as 2nd, or 5th largest. Too confusing trying to tell which groups of counties the editor refers to - recommend clarifying data.--Parkwells (talk) 09:43, 28 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Data

The "million" figure in the opening section seems far too large given the Census chart at the bottom.Rosseroo (talk) 03:47, 18 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Horrible Article

Reads like it was written by a child. Numerous NPOV issues, dubious claims, original research, and everything is poorly sourced. This article should either be completely rewritten or deleted--24.179.209.239 (talk) 03:39, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. I also find the article rather confusing. I don't know whether I'm being taken back to the days of slavery (at which time they would no be regarded as Americans, which should be covered in the Atlantic Slave Trade anyway) or whether this article is about recent generation of Nigerian Americans. The scope of this article is unclear. 86.1.102.119 (talk) 13:26, 21 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Education section includes general info on black immigrants, not specific to Nigerians

I'd suggest removing this section, as there's no information specifically about Nigerians. It should be part of a general article on black immigrants.

"A disproportionate percentage of black students at elite universities are immigrants or children of immigrants. Harvard University, for example, has estimated that more than one-third of its black student body consists of recent immigrants or their children, or were of mixed-race parentage.[13] Other top universities, including Yale, Princeton, Penn, Columbia, Duke and Berkeley, report a similar pattern.[14] As a result, there is a question as to whether affirmative action programs adequately reach their original targets: African Americans who are descendants of American slaves and their discriminatory history in the US.[13]" — Preceding unsigned comment added by MaxGhenis (talk • contribs) 17:35, 24 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Top universities

This section is from a secondary source, citing the Open Doors report. I looked through this report and could not find information per-country-per-institution. It might require a password (this page), but is also outdated by a year, so I would recommend deleting it.

> The top five U.S. institutions with the largest student population of Nigerian descent (in no particular order) are Texas Southern University, University of Houston, University of Texas at Arlington, University of North Texas, and Houston Community College[15]. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MaxGhenis (talk • contribs) 05:56, 25 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
