Africans shifting earnings across Italy (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nigerians

'africans' is the definition.
(Nigerian is an example)

'shifting earnings across italy' is the wordplay.
'shifting' indicates an anagram.
'across' is an insertion indicator.
'italy' becomes 'i'.
'earnings' anagrammed gives 'nigerans'.
'nigerans' placed around 'i' is 'NIGERIANS'.

(Another definition for nigerians that I've seen is " Citizens".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
