Anwulika is being purposely obtuse to the point of being dishonest. I have interacted with several Nigerians in academia and some had degrees before they even moved to America. This does not discount their hard work after arriving, and the American govt. helps them out too. The sheer arrogance given the state of the motherland is disgusting though.
Okay, please show me where I disputed this, in fact I actually covered this in one of my previous posts, if you care to read them again. You have interacted with many Nigerians, well good for you; I am Nigerian and have also interacted with many Nigerians, all of whom prove that what I am saying is true.
That's the point, when certain Nigerians show pride in their achievements, certain people on this forum, you may not be included in this group, downplay them by making up excuses such as 'oh, they come from privileged backgrounds, they're more educated/richer than those at home' in an attempt to 'bring them back down to Earth'. It's classic human envy. Yet when actual Nigerians tell them otherwise, they accuse us of being dishonest- why would I be dishonest, what do I have to gain from lying?
Oops, I guess you are one of those people described above.
Edit: forgot to add that I'm not just talking about the US, which would have been clear had you read my posts.
