I wouldn't use the word jealously, i would say that they lack empathy. They (especially previous generation Nigerians) see themselves as overcoming the world.
They overcame the Biafran War, they overcame coming to America broke, they overcame xyz...
So they come here and see Black Americans not doing as well as they believe that they should do, and they resent them.
They see Black Americans as lazy because in their minds.. "I survived war, I came here broke, and I made something of myself... I had it 100x harder than any of you!!
"
But the truth is that they were not born to a couple... who was born to a couple... who was born to a couple.. who was born to a couple.. who was born to a couple.. who was born to a couple.. who was born to a couple.. who was born to a couple.. who was born to a couple.. who was born to a couple.. who was born to a couple..
who were enslaved in America
This is the part that I really hate... I REALLY hate. They don't fukking acknowledge anyone's hardship but their own!! Even my own parents are on that shyt.
The second I came to the US, I had an advantage over many black people here because I wasn't born here. I wasn't born into poverty in America. I wasn't born to parents who didn't finish college or worse. I wasn't born to a 1 family household. I didn't have the deck stacked against me.
Nigerians (not all, but the ones in the OP) think they are prospering while having the deck stacked and them.. and some do, i wont lie. But how can you acknowledge that while having 0 empathy for the fellow black man who has been dealing with American racism and white supremacy for
centuries before they even came into existence?
don't even get me started on this.. this topic really REALLY annoys me. I loathe this shyt
TL;DR - The Nigerians like dude in the OP have no empathy or sympathy for Black American struggles. They think Black Americans actually have it easier than any other demographic and are too lazy or wicked to capitalize on it.
