Nigerian americans rated most successful group in u s
I think there may be some misinformation here.
While Nigerian Americans have made significant contributions to the United States, it's important to note that there is no definitive ranking of the most successful group of people in the US based on their national origin or ethnicity.
However, according to various studies and reports, Nigerian Americans have achieved significant success in various fields, including:
- Education: Nigerian Americans have a higher median household income and higher educational attainment than the general US population. According to the US Census Bureau, 64.4% of Nigerian Americans have a bachelor's degree or higher, compared to 31.3% of the general US population.
- Business: Nigerian Americans have started successful businesses in various industries, including technology, healthcare, finance, and more. According to a report by the National Venture Capital Association, Nigerian Americans are overrepresented in the startup ecosystem, with 12.5% of venture-backed founders being Nigerian American.
- Medicine: Nigerian Americans have made significant contributions to the field of medicine, with many holding prominent positions in hospitals, research institutions, and medical schools.
- Technology: Nigerian Americans have also made significant contributions to the tech industry, with many working as software engineers, data scientists, and entrepreneurs.
Some notable Nigerian American success stories include:
- Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, former Minister of Finance in Nigeria and current Director-General of the World Trade Organization
- Dr. Chika Stacy Oriaku, a physician and entrepreneur who has developed several medical devices and treatments
- Folorunsho Alakija, a businesswoman and philanthropist who is one of the richest women in Africa
- Chris Ihidero, a filmmaker and entrepreneur who has produced several successful films and TV shows
- Ibukun Awosika, a businesswoman and entrepreneur who is the first female Chairman of the First Bank of Nigeria
While these individuals are certainly successful, it's important to note that success is a complex and multifaceted concept that cannot be reduced to a single ranking or metric.
