And then you then move to a place where you don't have those barriers, but you still have that culture. You are more likely to succeed. And I think that that is what explains some of the success of, I think it's West Africans, not just Nigerians. But I suspect as you see more and more lower skilled migration, I think you will start to see those improvements

disappearing um as well i think that's one of the things i remember seeing a study that mentioned that so you know the the relative class of the people who move makes a difference and it's one of the reasons why i say it's not just about the country people come from but who is coming what skills are they bringing and do they want the place to succeed

I don't know. I was a good all-rounder at school. I was very good at maths. I was very good at English. I remember my English was better than my teachers, which they found very frustrating.

And these were people who I used to beat easily at school. They were suddenly doing very well.
