My fellow Nairalanders, I was in an argument recently with some friends of mine & the argument was The Birth rate & Death rate in Nigeria in this year,2012 which is Higher?
Please Drop your answers and reasons.

I would suggest that you contact the Office For National Statistics, or its equivalent body in Nigeria for hard facts.

That should provide you with a more accurate answer, compared to people fishing out numbers based on sentimental experiences, or limited exposure.

This information can easily be looked up.

Clearly the birth rate has consistently outstripped the death rate since records began, leading to a high population growth from about 50m people in the 60's to about 160m-170m people in Nigeria today.
