Nigerian-Americans are the most successful ethnic group in the United States, Candace Owens, a celebrity social commentator says.
Owens is an American conservative commentator and political activist. She is known for her pro-Trump activism and her criticism of Black Lives Matter and of the Democratic Party.
Owens tweeted @realcandanceo, “Nigerian-Americans are the most successful ethnic group in the U.S!
“If you want to know how it’s possible that blacks who come from under-developed Africa, keep outperforming blacks from overprivileged America— it’s bc they weren’t exposed to the Democrat parasite of victimhood!”
News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Owens’ tweet inspired a thread of people, around the world, sharing good experiences with Nigerians and agreeing that they were hardworking.
@Davidkemmpp said, “They work their asses off — just ALL the legal immigrants from third-world countries do.

“You’ll never see one of the folks from Nigerians — or an Asian — begging on a street corner or camped on the streets. They WORK hard to advance.”
@Brucej62 said, “You bet. I have some good friends from college who are from Nigeria. Smart as hell, and hard workers.”
@Ajayioluwasayo wrote, “Average Nigerians have moral values and have one thing or the other to pursue to give them edge over others.
“We don’t see victimisation as a limitation to our pursuit rather as an inspiration to pursue more. #Nigerianspirit”
@Micheledomes tweeted, “My son in law is from Nigeria and he is the most goal driven man in his age group I have ever met.
“He is a super positive influence on my daughter and I love him dearly for who he is and how he loves her.”
@DrBenLuno wrote, “That’s exactly my point that such positivity should hit the global roof top. Nigerians are great people individually, our government only mess up our collective strength.”
