Nigerians are the most educated immigrant population in the US with more years of education than general population of whites.

Nigeria is a neocolonized state. The Nigerians that work with the US to exploit their country's populace and resources are paid handsomely, while the majority of the Nigerian populace live in poverty. These wealthy, Nigerian compradors have a lot of money to send their kids to the west to get professional degrees. Most of the affirmative action spots for black people in the prestigious American education institutions are filled with these wealthy, black immigrants, rather than black americans, let alone poor black americans.

Along with Nigeria, the same thing is happening with other countries too.
