Nigeria Almost Doubled Its Population In Just 20 Years by Raziii(m): 12:34pm On Feb 28, 2018
So I got on twitter and found this statistics on @spectatorindex handle:

Population growth, past twenty years.

Nigeria: 72%
Saudi: 69%
Egypt: 55%
Pakistan: 54%
India: 34%
Indonesia: 31%
South Africa: 31%
Turkey: 29%
Mexico: 26%
Canada: 22%
US: 18%
UK: 13%
China: 12%
France: 11%
South Korea: 11%
Italy: 6%
Germany: 1%
Japan: 0%
Poland: -2%

Nigeria's population almost doubled in 20 years. Wow!

Why isn't government bothered about these figures? The government keeps mouthing how it intends to develop Nigeria but has said nothing about the population growth.

So I ask, is it possible for Nigeria to experience real economic development with its population growing twice as fast when compared to its GDP?

P.S: On Monday, Nigeria overtook India as the country with the highest number of people living in poverty.
