This is an estimate. they should tell us the basis for this figure o jare .

And we are growing at a mere 1.9% economically, and some people believe we are doing just fine.

How to Turn Nigerian Huge Population into Money

Beulah77:
Millions of Nigerian women are still fasting and praying for God to give them children and God will surly give them so UN should keep quiet and leave us alone

Go to the the north where one woman has 10-15 children, you would realise that those women looking for children have been statistically accounted for.

We need a two child policy system in Nigeria

what is the rush? Is there a competition??

its time for Nigeria govt to take population issue serious. make laws abeg.

Chukwuka16:
It's a lie.

In the words of Benjamin Disraeli, “There are three types of lies – lies, damn lies, and statistics.

Where is the database of births and deaths in Nigeria?
When BVN was introduced, how many valid bank accounts were recorded?
Even the ongoing registration of SIM cards is singing a different tune.

Let's not allow the UN and other external bodies tell us how many we are. It is our responsibility to have in place a system that captures that fairly accurately.

Until we sort this out, social programmes will never achieve the intended aim.

don't you know that it is parameters that the NPC gives them That they use to make this projections?

Nigeria would be around that figure population wise


the rapid birth rate in Govt hospitals ALONE should give us a clue

somehow:


Please educate me

How is 114 million poor people in 2014 to 87 million poor people in 2018 a retrogression?

I'm waiting for you to educate me.

I must look like ur lecturer.

Let's assume your statistics is accurate, Nigeria had 114 million poor people and wasn't the poverty capital of the world. What that meant was that some country had more number of poor people.

Fast forward to 2019, and Nigeria, with a population of 87m poor people, is now the poverty capital of the world.

What this means is that the country that was the poverty capital did tremendously enough to reduce the number of their poor from above 114 million to below 87 million while Nigeria failed to lift enough people from poverty to wealth.

Now, if this is not failure of govt, tell me what it is.

25-30% of the population are on Transit scattered all over the world hustling up and down because the government of Nigeria have failed.

Studies found that we’re actually 205 million in number.
It is unrefutably true because I typed “studies found”.

Ffk giving them hot hot! But seriously, we need to check our birth control and put a law that make a family to bear only 4kids whether u v 4 wives or 1 wife! If u father more than 4 kids u pay tax of a million yearly to the government until the child is 18years and such a child can only father 3 children.
We need population control.
And those with 4wives, they can give birth to one child with each of the wives shikina!
Thank God no Religion instructed us exactly the number of children to give birth to. So government should plan with this

You this people are going to doom us all in this country. The government cannot come to every bedroom in the country to monitor our conjugal activities.

It is a FAILURE of both the government and importantly the PEOPLE / SOCIETY!!

we are not up to dat, even if we factor in the number of cows in dis country

Nasri100:


Because of inflation bro. That would render our curreny useless. Read more.

Thanks. I’ve always wanted to know

Is about time the Nigerian government start One child policy by removing the balls of Nigerian men and after having one child and giving them a small radio.

Na West African countries wey them go suffer most.

By the time many Nigerian men reach 55 years old, they have absolutely nothing. The reason most die before the age of 60.
Having too many children have made it impossible for many to save for their old age. Before old age comes most men eye don clear say their children no send them, thanks to their Mama!

sparog:


I swear this shit is a big scam

We no reach 201million

The last census was a scam on its own

Big scam!!!
Most of the southern lands are still covered with forests..most of the north is arid. No recorded improvement in the health sector, poverty and high death rates to birth rate is still high
And someone is taking about 200 million

I believe these figures,
All the places I used to know as bush and forest in Lagos and it's environs have now been occupied by houses and human beings

Such claims by these foreign body should be refused wholeheartedly. How would someone outside your country be telling you the population of persons in your country... We should not encourage such again... This is bad for our identity

its easterners such as yourself that are the major challenge we easterners have in jettisoning this failed, unfair and evil contraption called zoogeria!!!

consider the crap you just vomited which I struck through. who exactly are these "ours" and "wes" you "one nigeria" easterners are always touting all over the place?! do you think you and an average northerner have the same world view?! that they are happy filling up the streets of the north with millions of homeless almàjiris, how should that be the concern of we the great easterners who value the proper training of our young even above our own personal well being?!

bia, nwoke kpachapu anya gi!!!

jiri ire gi guo eze gi onu!!!

mind your business!!!

Omoboricash:

Ghana is already feeling the heat of Nigeria over populated growth. The number of Nigeria Youth in Ghana is crazy...

Ignorance is bliss

Google is your friend

Read up why Nigeria became the number 1.

Tip: India the former number 1 worked harder than us to reduce drastically the number of poor people in their country.

Read up the rest! The number of poor people in your county didn't increase, rather reduced but not to the number of reductions for the previous number 1.

You expected Buhari to turn Superman overnight to erase 114 million poor people out of Nigeria in 4 years like he planned your country for you from the start unlike India that has 10,20 and 50 years plan which every new government has been following for more than 30 years now?

India was 124 million or thereabouts poor people in 2012/2014 and now 74 million poor people. The plan started 30 years ago, they were not eating their savings or looting it for the past 30 years unlike you and your previous governments!

Have a nice day.

Btw: I didn't guess or assume anything above, it's everywhere on the internet!

You shoot yourself bro. Poverty is rising in Nigeria . It is not even on track to reduce it.

post=77955536:

You can start by eating your people at home.
Before you eat 4 family members thigh and buttocks, you will be arrested and sent to where you belong!
Cannibal!!

Eating doesn't always mean cannibalism.

It implies (I guess) extreme desperation everywhere, caused by heightened competition between a growing lot of people for limited resources.

A huge crowd jostling for very limited buses/cabs after working hours most evenings, Huge crowd queued up on a typical job aptitude test(Remember Immigration Saga), Job/Employment desperation that drives vulnerable people into the waiting hands of scammers and exploitative masters.

Overstretched public school Systems (Primary through University) , Overwhelmed public health care centres and an almost non-existent Mortgage system (Creating a lot of draconian landlords (there are good ones, I know) feeding on desperate housing situation)

Desperation drives people to extremely unthinkable behaviours (both the desperate people themselves and those out to "assist" them), including crimes.

That is what is referred to as "eating ourselves".
It is not only something eating your flesh that's eating you. Surrounding situations affecting one's quality of life caused by competitive desperation can also be interpreted as eating ourselves.

No thanks to the UN for telling the world we are still the best market for their business experimentations/trials.
