Travel Insurance for Nigeria, Travel insurance for Nigerian residents

The forced immigration of Nigerians to the USA goes way back to the 17th and 18th century due slavery. These slaves from Bight of Biafra were traded to Virginia and majority of them were Igbo or Yoruba groups. In the 18th century 37,000 Africans were traded into Virginia from Calabar and most of them were of Igbo clan. The institution of slavery existed until the American Civil War. More recently, in the 1960s during the Nigerian civil war many Igbo Nigerian war refugees came the US.

The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 relaxed the restrictions on immigration allowing more number of Nigerians into the US. During the 1960s, the Nigerian immigrants who arrived were those who came looking for higher education opportunities at universities in the US. A large wave of Nigerian immigrants driven by political and economic situation in Nigeria came to the US in the mid to late 1980’s. According to the American Community Survey in 2016 there were 380,785 US residents with Nigerian ancestry.
