Details READING TIME 3 min CATEGORY People AUTHOR qadriuvesh76 The Nigerian immigrant Story Why Nigerians are the most successful immigrant group in the U.S. Dr Jacqueline Nwando Olayiwola was born in Columbus, Ohio, to Nigerian immigrant parents. Her mother is a retired engineer and now a professor at Walden University. Her father, a retired professor, is now a strategist at a consulting firm focused on governance in Africa. Olayiwola, just like many other children from Nigerian immigrant parents, was raised to value education and success. From doing regular homework and sports and attending summits in healthcare as a child, Olayiwola is now a family physician, an associate clinical professor at University of California, San Francisco, instructor in family medicine at Columbia University, and an author. Her siblings have also made it in other well-deserved fields. This is the norm among many Nigerian-Americans today. Currently, 29 per cent of Nigerian-Americans over the age of 25 hold a graduate degree, compared to 11 per cent of the overall U.S. population, according to the Migrations Policy Institute. The 2016 American Community Survey also found that among Nigerian-American professionals, 45 per cent work in education services with several others being professors at some of the top universities. Nigerian-Americans are also increasingly entering into entrepreneurship and building tech companies in the US. On the medical field, you will find them there too; as they continue to abandon their home country to work in American hospitals for better pay and working conditions. Despite racism and discrimination, Nigerian-Americans have not stopped excelling in the United States, as they are currently one of the country’s most successful immigrant communities, with a median household income of $62,351, compared to $57,617 nationally, as of 2015. The over 376,000 Nigerian-American population has also produced some of the ‘firsts’ in America, including forensic pathologist Dr Bennet Omalu, who was the first to discover and publish on chronic traumatic encephalopathy in American football players, and Pearlena Igbokwe, the first woman of African descent to head a major U.S. TV studio. There is also ImeIme A. Umana, the first Black woman elected president of the Harvard Law Review last year. Apart from the traditional careers like doctors, lawyers and engineers, Nigerian-Americans are also doing tremendously well in entertainment, sports and the culinary arts. This year, Nigerian chef Tunde Wey in New Orleans made the news when he used food to highlight racial wealth inequality in America. So how did these Nigerians get to U.S. in their numbers, and how are they outshining citizens from their host country? After the Biafra war in the 1960s in Nigeria, many students were given scholarships by the Nigerian government to pursue higher studies in the States. These students performed well and furthered their education before becoming professionals in their various fields. They valued education and passed this on to their children, and the result is what is being observed now.

Details READING TIME 3 min CATEGORY Community Outreach AUTHOR qadriuvesh76 The Bright Horizon In the heart of Africa, where the sun rises over the savannas, a new dawn was breaking. The year was 2050, and the continent was buzzing with energy and possibility. Akua, a young Ghanaian girl, looked out at the sprawling cityscape of Accra, her eyes shining with hope. She had grown up hearing stories of her ancestors’ struggles and triumphs, and she knew that she stood on the shoulders of giants. Akua was a brilliant inventor, and her latest creation, a solar-powered water purification system, was about to change the lives of millions. She had been inspired by the water struggles of her own community and had worked tirelessly to find a solution. As she looked out at the city, Akua saw a future where Africa was a beacon of innovation and progress. She saw schools that were hubs of creativity and critical thinking, where children were encouraged to dream big. She saw farms that were lush and green, where sustainable practices had ended hunger and malnutrition. She saw cities that were clean and efficient, where renewable energy powered the homes and industries. Akua’s vision was not unique. Across the continent, young Africans were rising up, using their talents and skills to build a brighter future. They were entrepreneurs, artists, scientists, and leaders, and they were determined to shape their own destiny. In the streets of Lagos, a group of young coders were building apps that would revolutionize healthcare and education. In the markets of Marrakech, artisans were crafting beautiful works of art that celebrated African culture. In the universities of Nairobi, researchers were discovering new medicines and technologies that would improve lives. This was the Africa of the future – a continent of hope and possibility, where young people were driving change and shaping their own destiny. Akua’s story was just one of many, a testament to the power of innovation and determination. As the sun rose over Africa, the horizon was bright, and the future was full of promise.
