Nigerians have the highest level of education in the U.S. (Page 5)

Well as much good news this is the question here is; how do this reflect in building our country ? to what percentage has this boost our economy, productivity or creativity. Much references is been given so far to education at the expense of encouraging along side entrepreneurship, skill acquisition to complement education for which countries like China, America etc glory today. The number of unemployment is unspeakable with majority graduate and many more to join as we go cashless society and machine takes over peoples job. Education without acquisition of skill am afraid the way this nation is going is a doom end. God help us.

Duh!!! They came to the US with a Student Visa, what do you expect? Do you think if Nigeria was next door to the US that this stats will be the same? Look at the education rate for mexicans in the US and that'll give you an idea of what the rate would be if Nigeria was next door to the US. Likewise if Mexico was as far as Nigeria is to the US, their rate would be as high.

Spot-on bro! People tend to value certificates more than knowledge.Having a Master's Degree isn't a guarantee that you are more knowledgeable than a Bachelor's Degree holder.Besides,most whites abroad start teaching at a very young age with B.Degree because they know what they studied.Others,owing to their dexterity,invent things that we Africans with M.Degree/ph.D tend to appreciate in the long run.For example,if you visit NOKIA Company(Helsinki)-Finland,you'll find very young,astute and creative Finns who manufacture the phones we use today.Africans(IT Engineers) who work there are like 4.It's predominantly Finns and Asians.Why is it so? The singular reason according to my inquiry is because they believe in their technical and academic abilities.Rightly so because they(Finns) are so damn good.Sadly enough,most Africans who have higher degrees can't even defend them.Make no mistake,I am not saying some of us aren't good! All I am saying is that majority don't know anything in their specialties.
