African Millionaires in America - VOA Documentary I VOA Africa

The United States of America has sold the world the concept of the American dream which analysts say has made Washington a destination for immigrants in pursuit of success. VOA’s Arzouma Kompaore spoke to several Africans who migrated to the U.S. and have made the American dream a reality.

I love the gentleman that gave credit to African Americans the credit for fighting for freedom and opportunities for black people and others in the USA. Seriously most ethnicities who come to America do not know or underestimate what the black people (formerly the enslaved Afrikans) achieved for them in the USA.

As a NIGERIAN CITIZEN i can confirm your Words are 💯% Right.

You damn right every ethic group is benefiting from my people and we’re pushed to the back row. Go back to your country and prepare a place for the Africans that were enslaved because we are the Hebrew people.

I also like the lady builder, she started with so little, then on to an average career path, but WOW!! I was so amazed to see how she owns her own construction company. Her children are also very successful. I wonder how she gets contracts in the MD, DC, and VA area because it is reputed for cronyism and locking blacks out of these contracts. They even hire mainly Hispanics to do construction work.

She just rubbished it without even so much as a glance, promised myself never to be in such a position ever again.

[@almy-qy1lf]

For the people making asinine comments about them achieving success in the U.S, or making snide remarks about what their country of origin looks like... Most wealthy Nigerians made their fortune in Nigeria or African countries, including the world's richest black man. And many of them are helping their countrymen and women. However, it takes more than some rich people to fix a country of more than 200 million souls, with lots of corruption and tribal diversity, that has effectively existed for less than 70 years, all while being compromised by many foreign forces. Nation-building is the most complex human social challenge. Doing it on the shaky ground that colonization left many African Black nations with is pamong the hardest ways to do it. Having wealthy, successful, influential people in the diaspora helps, though. There are examples of nations succeeding thanks to the efforts of its sons and daughters living abroad.

[@jmaatgreen7894]

I know Americans of African descent paved the way for African and Caribbean immigrants to come here during our civil rights struggle, but many AA elders say they were treated horribly by those same people who benefited from African American social and political activism. I don't agree with the resentment but understand the history of it. Even so, even with the success of the Nigerian and other wonderful African and Caribbean immigrants, the entire GDP of ALL people of African descent in the US is still less than 3%... so the individual successes are nice but aren't considered important to this nation's economy. Several of the fastest growing economies in the world are in African nations (check World Economic Forum). The diaspora has plenty of opportunity if we see the bigger picture.
