The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) says 76 percent of Nigerians are between ages 0 to 24, as the country’s population hits 195.9 million.

In its UNFPA state of world population report themed “The power of choice: Reproductive rights and the demographic,” the UN agency revealed that 148.8 million Nigerians are under the age of 25.

This is at conflict with National Population Commission (NPC) figures, which stated that Nigeria’s population was at 198 million as early as April 2018.

Whether 198 or 195 million, what really matters is that Nigeria is heading for a population crash, if we don't control the over 3 million people we add to our population each year.

Enough of my religion does not permit or am a polygamist talk, we honestly need population control.

If we are struggling to survive now, what will happen by 2050, when the country is projected to have a population of 400 million?

Waoh!
I do believe we are close to 200 million

Na when dem count us nau?

40million Nigerians will Obi-diently Atikulate in 2019..
even beautiful Aisha

So U.N now have a substantial amount of knowledge about what goes in and out of Nigeria even more than our national agencies?


I can't believe this!

Okay

U.N, we said we are 198 million, you say we are 195.5. So did you conduct any census to arrive at that conclusion?

Is it your population?
Someone cannot lie in peace again?

Meanwhile I am looking for my charger, please contact me if you find it.

when dem do census ??

Does Nigeria have accurate database of anything? Be it economy, population, birth rate and death rate, and so on


Our population figures where inflated to favour northerners. When Murtala Mohammed cancelled the fraudulent one they did back in 1970s, they hated him.

Nigeria is bedeviled by so many challenges. A country that don't know its number. How will there be any plans for her citizens.

I don't know why I am skeptical of anything coming from Nigerian officials.
We have bottomed down as a Country. We need to reboot

All this one na guess work... Until we do another census we can't know for sure how many we are..

But one thing i know for sure is we fit don pass 200million. You only need visit lagos to know this..

Meanwhile do you know Scientists have proven that staying in holdup reduces ones Intelligence... Read article - > Surprising Things That Reduces Your Intelligence

Bro. Abeg where did you see your own forecast. Because i checked and i only saw the population forecast of Lagos - > https://listwand.com/population-forecast-lagos-could-reach-100-million-people-by-the-end-of-the-century/

Quantity no quality

so what
the difference is just 2.1m, considering the total number, that difference is insignificant, either figures can be used for planning and budgetting

Life expectancy in Nigeria is truly low, only 24% are above 25years of age

Did they conduct any census?

I don’t understand how they arrive at this figures oo.. I was never counted. Maybe in my dream sha

Nigeria my country... We are getting dere...

The difference is negligible.

Nigeria de plan how to do population census with 300 hundred billion dollars next year to know our actual population hahaha, where onyinbo people don count us finish within 5 seconds lol.the worst part of it is that our presdo doesn't know when the population census took place, even minister of culture,minister of information, governors and presdo including me and you all of us de surprised.we no fit count our votes talk of knowing our population hahaha hahaha I don die!!!

We keep increasing in population without commensurate development...

I weep for us!

USA are wrong if they say 76% are below 25 years of age do they now say the above 25 are less than 60million lol all I see on the road and traveling are arugbo and slay mama and papa not slay boys. Mayb our looks and achievement they deceive them.... They better don't use football age all our players are papa and mama old enough to stop child production����

I can't believe this!

As 2Pac would say

"That's the way it is"

The same mind-bending tricks transform "terrorists" to "freedom fighters" and "insurgents", depending on who you are listening to...

Did the use Google map

How can we know the trust when some of our people are always manipulating our population to their advantage. Nigeria can never conduct a free and fair population.

Both figures are mere estimations not accurate figures based on properly researched Data

I think from the two available information, we can conclude that Nigeria's population is more than 190m

People will just be under Air Conditioned office and be giving us figures by estimation.

Both are conflicting figures because they are not certain since they're yet go through head count.

Nigeria was supposed to conduct census in 2016, but they'll tell us that they didn't do it because of money.
Forgetting that subsidy revenue alone in two years could have taken care of that.

No money government..

How can they predict/estimate Nigerian population without the actual birthday rate and death rate stats. They will never gona get it right.

195 or 198 million, what matters now is our collective resolve to achieve the most pressing patriotic assignment in the country at the moment- #BackToDaura mission by OBIdiently ATIKUlating.

Who else is involved?
