• Population grows by 30 per cent in 10 years • Economy expands by less than three percent • Number of severely financially distressed adults rise to 74% If Nigeria’s economy tumbles off this current cliff the next moment, it would not happen for want of sufficient early warning signs but, perhaps, for lack of the required willpower to make necessary adjustments and damn the soothsayers. https://guardian.ng/business-services/population-outgrows-economy-amid-rising-dependants-misery/ 4 Likes 3 Shares

In other countries they are begging their people to make more babies because of economic prosperity and aging population in Nigeria everything is always the opposite. But why are they disturbing Tinubu with statistics, they know he is the only accountant that hates statistics 61 Likes 5 Shares |

Hehehe. According to Tinubu,na statistics we go chop . When he was shouting na statistics we go chop,I thought Nigerians will be wise enough to understand that he was going to rule Nigeria blindly,but no,the tribal war lords package him and sold him to us . Funny how people who neglected the importance of statistics at the beginning,is now using statistics. 50 Likes 8 Shares |

I don't think Nigeria has an overpopulation problem, I witnessed the last census and saw where palm kernel was used to create finger prints on the census forms in a particular state, those who travel regularly also know there are vast swathes of empty lands especially in the interior areas and semi empty communities mostly due to rural - urban migration. What we have is a country suffering from the effects of severe governmental kleptomania since at least 1960 which affected every single sector of the polity from local government to the federal level. The has been a deliberate implementation of non development across the country despite the hundreds of billions of dollars pumped into the economy in the name of infrastructure and intervention programmes which are promptly stolen by those in authority unfortunately, we've reached a situation whereby governments can't fund big infrastructure anymore because there's simply no money anywhere and no one wants to lend us any more money. Your country's COP28 junketeering was duly noted so the next question is how to raise cash to finance our budgets going forward, it's as simple as president Tinubu actually going after corrupt individuals and or their family members/proxies from previous administrations at least from 1983 then use whatever tens of trillions recovered should be used judiciously while trying to stabilize the country. This isn't the time for sentiments or loyalty because Nigerians are very hungry right now and where just at the edge of violent crimes becoming a norm eg, kidnapping has started in Lagos and it's on the rise which didn't used to happen before 12 Likes 4 Shares |

We keep being fed the idea that somehow population and consumption can keep expanding without any consequences. They can’t. As population grows, the pressure on our planet is heightened. One of the many changes needed to give our generation a chance of a healthy future is for people to recognise that choosing to have fewer children helps relieve that pressure. We should and must be talking about population and family size. Especially in this part of the country were the poverty rate is high. 20 Likes 6 Shares |

Nigeria is highly populated. Since the government cannot handle everything, then let's go the Ethiopian way… whoever group of people can stand and fix themselves, let them go. It's not by force to remain united in poverty. 25 Likes 4 Shares |

People want to keep having unprotected sex and unplanned children with the hope that Government will feed, clothe, train and educate them. What a loser's lifestyle! This is one of our biggest problems and except Government gets serious about reducing unproductive quantitative population growth this irresponsibility of some Nigerians and unpatriotic elements will not stop sabotaging the progress of this nation. Govt must massively invest in the female child education from cradle to university. That's the cheapest and fastest way to address this scourge. Educated females are less likely to marry young and have multiple untrained children. FG, States and LGAs must get more serious about educating the girl child today. They are our best bet to solve this problem! May God bless Nigeria for ever! Check my signature for free stuffs! 16 Likes 3 Shares |

The coming years are going to be tough. As in really really tough. Starting from next year sef some people will start selling their children to eat. Since 1960 we have the most inresponsible government that took over since 2015. Coupled with the fact that there should be a massive drive to sentise Nigerians about family planning by the Nigerian government. But as they didn't care about the general wellbeing,they don't seem to care about our population growth too I can be sure, right now we should be over 400M. In the past 20years,we have grown and all we do is to fucccck and pour children like pigs. We gonna learn. We gonna learn in the hard way.. 7 Likes 1 Share |

This is the problem of Nigeria - the high rate of dependents is taking away disposal income for investments from few middle class families. As long as greater percentage of families continues to live in poverty, the future prosperity of the few families that are doing relatively well will be in jeopardy - Reason you see people doing well in Nigeria, earning manageable salaries in companies, risking it all to find new homes abroad. The fear is, the country may not provide their children the little opportunity they were able to get. 18 Likes 4 Shares |

Dpharisee: My brother... Take a leaf from the crude oil price: when the global price of crude oil increases, Nigerian government would say Nigerians must pay more at the pump because of the rise, ironically when the global price falls, the same government would ask us to pay more because they don't have money. However you toss the coin in Nigeria, the situation is rigged in favour of the government asking the people to bear the brunt. 9 Likes 1 Share |
