Confusion with numbers

These numbers don't agree with those on the Nigerian American page. There it says that one million Nigerians have immigrated to the US. There may be confusion between contemporary immigration and the former slave trade. In the other article it says that 20 million Nigerians are living outside the country in Africa, so this is confusing, too.--Parkwells (talk) 00:13, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Confusion with numbers

A range between 800.000 and 3 million, while the general black-british population is only 2% What is the reason of such a big range? It does not correspond. Are the sources reliable?

Category: African Diaspora?

I thought that the African Diaspora were peoples descended from the Atlantic slave trade, e.g. African Americans and Afro-Caribbeans. So people who are recent immigrants directly from Africa and their descendants are not part of the African Diaspora. They ARE Africans. —Preceding unsigned comment added by ElijahTM (talk • contribs) 08:45, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The African diaspora simply refers to Africans living outside of Africa, not necessarily those descended from slaves. Also, the "They ARE Africans" comment is not strictly true since the descendants of these more recent African immigrants are unlikely to be citizens of African nations.
