For the fifth year in a row, more Nigerians emigrated to Canada than the year before as data published by the Canadian government shows the number of Nigerians issued permanent resident permits has tripled since 2015.
The rise in Nigerian immigrants heading to Canada reflects the North American country’s push to expand its labor force and lower the average age of its workers as its population advances in years. In 2019, Canada welcomed 341,000 immigrants in total (about 10,000 more it targeted) as part of its immigration policy to attract skilled workers.
For middle-class Nigerians increasingly looking to emigrate, Canada holds appeal for several reasons. Its ongoing drive to increase skill-based immigration offers a legal and long-term path not just to residency permits but also citizenship.
For Nigerians who can afford to relocate, the chance for their children to access better education standards —and the future opportunities that come with it—has also proven to be a major factor. Like most other immigrant groups, Nigerians moving to Canada mostly settle in Ontario.
Canada is projected to welcome nearly 700,000 immigrants over the next two years.
The United States has recently banned Nigerians from receiving immigration visas as part of a new wave of restrictions from the Trump administration’s already long history of tough immigration clampdowns on Nigeria.
The travel measures taken against Nigeria by the United States last year are starting to have a clear and, potentially, long-term effect.
Data from the US travel and tourism office shows Nigeria recorded the largest global drop-off in visitors to the US. As of October 2019, 34,000 fewer Nigerians traveled to the US compared to the previous year—a 21% drop. After a sustained period of growth between 2011 and 2015, the number of Nigerian visitors to the US started to plateau in 2016 until the big drop-off last year.

Nothing funnier to me then someone trying to tell someone else their nationality. Giannis has expressed his Africa pride many times in various instances.
Also "Toronto is no more Africa than any American city" get out more my man

In Canada about a tenth of the country is black, and in the United States about a tenth is black as well. Obviously they are of different origins, in that most USA blacks trace their ancestry back to slavery and in Canada blacks that didn't get here by the underground railroad ended up as more recent immigrants from Africa and the Caribbean. Culturally African-Canadians are more "African", while African-Americans have developed a very different culture, "soul" type culture.

Uh... it would surprise Me and probably almost everyone else that Leonard would say **** LA. Nah man, never. If he didn’t stay after all that The first time, why would he ever come back. Move on.
If had 2 shots playing with another "star" in PG and not winning it all, why not team up with old friends and Giannis?
Would the Clippers do a sign and trade of Powell, Matt Thomas and a 1st pick?
PG FVV - TD
SG Kawhi - TD - Watson?
SF OG - Kawhi
PF Siakam - OG
C Giannis - Ibaka

Lol would YOU, if you were the Clippers? That's the most laughable trade proposal for all the reasons.

Why is it so guaranteed that if they win he stays?
