How Nigerians Liberated themselves in the United States

Nigerian immigrants in the United States have engaged in several forms of self–emancipation over the years. These include forming associations and NGOs, increased economic activity, better access to education, and becoming more politically active.

These efforts have helped Nigerians gain a larger presence in mainstream American society and become more influential in their communities. Through the formation of associations and non–governmental organizations, Nigerians have been able to create a sense of community and a platform from which to organize and advocate for their needs.

These organizations have provided assistance to fellow Nigerians in adjusting to and navigating the American system, and have served as a source of support for new immigrants. Nigerian economic activity in the US has also increased in recent years. Nigerians have established businesses across the US in sectors ranging from retail to technology, and their presence has had a ripple effect in the local econom by creating jobs and generating revenues. Nigerians immigrants have also improved their access to education, both in the US and back home. This has opened up new avenues for employment and advancement for the Nigerian diaspora.

Finally, Nigerians have become more politically active, mobilizing for causes such as education and reform of the immigration system. This activism has made it easier for Nigerians to make their voices heard on issues that affect their lives and the lives of others. In turn, this has helped build better understanding and alliances between the Nigerian diaspora and the mainstream American society.
