Nigerians in diaspora, by destination continent

Nigerians in diaspora, by destination continent, 2021, by destination continent. Source: NBS Annual Abstract of Statistics 2023, Table 037. The destination continent is carried in `dimension`, not as a geography: a diaspora figure is about NIGERIANS measured in a continent, and `public.geographies` holds only Nigerian entities. ⚠ **MODELLED, NOT ENUMERATED.** All four diaspora tables allocate a round control total of exactly 15,000,000 across six continents, produce fractional people (4,159,941.31 in Africa), and are attributed to a **six-state perception survey of intending and returned migrants**, which cannot enumerate Nigerians abroad. Every observation carries revision_status = projected. ⚠ The period is 2021, printed on Table 37; Tables 38-40 carry no year of their own and inherit it — their total_population column matches Table 37 continent by continent exactly, which is proof of identity rather than inference. The series holds the SIX destination continents only. The printed TOTAL row is not a member: it sits on the same axis as its own components, so summing the series would double-count. Where the source prints a TOTAL for a measure Prism serves, it is excluded on that structural ground rather than withheld silently; not every table prints one for every measure — see the dataset note.
