Nigeria is expected to hit a population of 450million by 2050. That is in 33yrs Nigeria will more than triple its conservative population estimate of 150million. This report took exclusively the population growth rate for the last 50yrs as the only basis for its conclusion. (At Independence, Nigeria's population was estimated at 50million).

The living conditions for the past 50yrs may not have been glamorous, but it did allow for Nigeria population growth as people expanded into virgin territory and formed new settlements. Consider that most of the towns and cities we take for granted today, did not exist 50yrs prior. Most parts of Lagos were jungle and Abuja was open Savannah filled with wild life and hardly any human settlement.

In another 33yrs, were will the additional 300 million people expand to and how will they feed themselves knowing fully well the main employer of labor is subsistence farming?

This estimate growth rate will only collapse the system and can never be attained. Even at the present 180million occupying an area of 910770 sq. Km, that translates to about 197 people to one square km! At a population rate of 450 million, Nigeria will have about 591 people per sq km.

Is this sustainable? Which land will be left for farming?

I believe this estimate is pure rubbish and that other socio-economic factors as we are witnessing with the Fulani expansion, will put a huge dent on this population growth rate. War, disease and famine will add to it.

A yeast population, will eventually eat itself out.
