We are having a sweep stake at work to guess what the final population figure of Nigeria will be.

Let's have a sweep here on Nairaland. I'll donate a prize of N1500 to the person who is the nearest to the final number (Credit for vmobile/mtn or glo - Sorry if you live outside Nigeria or don't have a use for the phone credit).

Seun - Will you be the adjudicator? You have the final say on the winner!!

Rules

You are only allowed to submit 1 guess.
You can only submit answers to the nearest million.
Only submit your guess on your post (Posts with any information other than the guess will not count)

I'll Start.

165 million people

20 ppl,

Too bad i cant get the cash but My guess is 138537892

177 million people

According to US Census Bureau, the population of Nigeria in 2005 was estimated as 128.766 million. Using the forecast growth rate of 2.0%, the current population census will be in the neighbourhood of 131.470 million give or take.
Check out my web site - a project that I submitted for my Computing Concept and Competencies class in Spring 2004 at: http://www.msu.edu/user/a/h/ahmedras/web/UBT/ on Population Explosion

164 852 294 million People, 30 708 814 cows and 164 852 294 herdsmen!

159,000

180 Million maybe higher, depends also how accurate the thing is (the past figures aren't very reliable)

190 million

Let's say 144 million

136 million?

o%

220 million

i cant really guess, but between 160 million and 190million

this is ridiculous: http://www.population.gov.ng/factsandfigures.htm

Anyway, my guess:

132,467,010, so to the nearest million, 132 million.

from nigeria.gov.ng

Census 2006 Questionnaire has been translated into 14 Nigerian languages (including Pidgin).

160 mill.
