Comments by "Acid Joke" (@PWMoze) on "Nigeria, After America || Peter Zeihan" video.

Whatever you may think of the whole process of colonisation, Nigeria is a very good example of (1) how unstable some African and Asian nations became after independence was granted and (2) what an advantage the legacy of colonialism is for individuals who want to leave their country for economic reasons and migrate to the ex-coloniser's country. Over recent years Nigeria has supplied the second largest immigrant group entering the UK (after India, with Pakistan coming third). This is because the UK retains strong cultural and political ties with Nigeria. There are large and vibrant Nigerian communities in many cities in the UK, particularly in London. With Ghana they are probably the two most significant and successful African communities in the UK. Politically they are quite conservative, socially too. The have strong religious bonds and family values, they are generally aspirant and hard working. Because of this they are generally successful economically and their children do well academically in British schools. Nigerian communities in the UK are a very successful example of multi culturalism at work.

@fdhgbjsk It's funny how my original comment was a simple analysis of the impact of the Nigerian community in the UK and yet the most interesting replies have been about the Indian diaspora. If there was an Olympics for success as an immigrant population, the Indians would win gold every time! Not just in the UK but internationally. They have been the largest immigrant group coming to the UK (post Brexit) and if judged by academic achievement, professional achievemnt, involvement in politics, law, medicine, capital aquisition and low crime rates they come top by a significant margin. In terms of adding more than they take out, the Indian community represent a massive net gain to UK society. Apart from the nationalist/ethnic/religious/sporting conflicts in Leicester last year I can't think of a single incident in which Indians have distinguished themselves as anything other than a benefit to the UK. If readers of this comment don't agree I suggest they visit their local doctor, dentist, solicitor, barrister, accountant, research scientist, university lecturer etc etc.
