[b]Africa’s population will more than double to 2.4 billion within 40 years, according to a major study, thanks in large part to better health care.
Sub-Saharan Africa’s population is rising faster than the rest of the world because modern medicine and health care on the continent means more babies are surviving birth complications, and fewer adults are dying from preventable diseases.

But the number of children being born is not dropping, or is doing so very slowly.

“This means that population growth rates would naturally rise if birth rates stay as they are,” said Carl Haub, the co-author of the report, from the Population Reference Bureau in the US.

African mothers have an average of 5.2 children, rising to 7.6 in Niger, the country with the world's highest fertility rate that is close to five times the European average of 1.6 children born to each woman.

The baby boom means that its current population of 1.1 billion will increase to at least 2.4 billion by the middle of the century, according to the study from the respected organisation.

"Nearly all of that growth will be in the countries of sub-Saharan Africa, the region's poorest," said Wendy Baldwin, the organisation's president.

"Rapid population growth makes it difficult for economies to create enough jobs to lift large numbers of people out of poverty."

Seven of the 10 countries with the highest fertility rates also appear among the bottom 10 listed on the United Nations' Human Development Index.

By 2050, many African countries will have more than twice the number of people compared to today. Kenya's population will rise from 44 million to 97 million and Nigeria's from 174 million to 440 million.

Some will nearly triple. Somalia will have 27 million people in 2050, up from an estimated 10 million today, and the Democratic Republic of Congo's 71 million population is predicted to rise to 182 million.

"This is clearly going to increase pressure on Africa's governments to deliver education, health care, security and, most importantly jobs," said Julia Schünemann, director of the Africa Futures Project at the Institute for Security Studies in South Africa.

"But it should be seen as an opportunity, too. African countries also have the world's fastest economic growth rates. The question is, can those economies grow fast enough to offset the demands of population growth.

"In general, I don't think we should be too pessimistic."
International aid agencies are increasingly focusing efforts in Africa on family planning by advising governments how to widen access to contraceptives and helping women choose when to have children.

But this is unpopular in some countries, especially where religious doctrine that frowns on contraception holds sway with government leaders.

Projections included in the Population Reference Bureau's study assume that "family planning will become widespread", said Mr Haub.

"If not, Africa's population will grow more rapidly, further constraining efforts to address poverty, create jobs, and protect the environment," he said.

Africa's rising middle class would contribute to a slowing of birth rates, as wealthier families tend to choose to have fewer children, the study found.

The report gives 20 different indicators for more than 200 countries.

It found that British mothers give birth to an average of two children, higher than the EU average of 1.6. Bosnia-Herzegovina has the world's lowest birth rate of 1.2 children.

The world's population is forecast to increase from roughly 7.1 billion today to more than 9.7 billion in 2050, the report calculated.

India, currently the second most populous country in the world, will overtake China to become the most populous by 2030, it is estimated. By 2050, India's population will be 1.6 billion and China's 1.3 billion. [/b]

the photo seems staged and the women dont look alike.


one baby is also wearing pink, which is used for girls yet the "story" says both deliveries were boys.

lol, I noticed that to that one baby is wearing pink while the other isn't but are suppose to be boys

backwards behaviour

Bibi734:
What is your opinion of Nigerian people that choose to take on European names (both at home and abroad) for different purposes? and what is the reasoning behind these names?

As a Nigerian that was born in London and raised in America, whilst still maintaining my full Yoruba name, this is something I've always been curious about. I love my name and have longed for a deeper connection and understanding of the IMPORTANCE OF NAMING IN NIGERIA & I have been confused by those that seem to do the opposite.

I think in the end of the day its up to the parents but I really don't agree with it personally except if it's a surname. For me I was born and raised in America from Nigerian parents of the yoruba tribe and they gave me and my siblings all yoruba names no English names, and I loved that they did that and I appreciate my name cause no matter what people think its a connection to your culture and homeland in the end of the day. My future children are having yoruba names for sure.

I know some people who have english names or gave their children english names, They are not less nigerian then ones that give themselves cultural tribal names but I do think it slowly moves you away from your culture in a minor way.

Some Nigerians that live abroad and born their children abroad in the western world send their children to school in nigeria but at young ages, to me it good at the same time it is not a must but I feel if parents do it they should do it when their kids are very young so they can easily adjust to the system easily. I think if Nigerians in the western world had a chance all would do it but who will take care of the kids when they are in Nigeria, not all Nigerian parents have somebody they can trust with their kids if they are not going back anytime soon especially with a good job. When it comes to african americans doing it I see nothing wrong with it, a few are actually doing it, there was a woman who packed and left America for good and brought her mother and three young children with her and they are all being raised and schooled in Ghana, shown in this video:

Lol. I bet you don't know that most Arabs are an admixture between white and black, with a few white and black ones, no? Just as Sicilians and Berbers came mostly from the admixture of the moors and white folks.

If ancient Egypt had colonised the rest of Africa, and let's say they allowed the Hyskos and other Asiatic groups of different races in, like they did before expelling them - they probably would be the ones running the whole continent (or with their offspring like their Arab offspring is doing in Egypt). The Coloureds in South Africa are another classic example.

lol, true Africa would have been another middle east with a muslim majority. Some people in this thread are mixing fantasy and reality together, they need to wake up

jamaicanoshu:
If Kemet,Nubia , had colonized the rest of Africa our lives today would have been so much better today . Instead of Africa, Ansar the BLACK WAR GOD went and spread Civilization to the rest of the world. He brought writing to India, China, the Far East and the America's. ALL WRITING came out Kemet/Nubia. Why is it that Chinese writing ,Mayan writing, and Kemetic writing(HEIROGLYPHICS) all look so similar. Their clothing and hats were similar. They all had pyramids. They all had divine kings as government with a strong priestly cast. If only he had colonized the rest of Africa first the past 3000 years could have been so different for Africa. Today African's are going on pilgrimages to Rome, Mecca and Israel . They won't go to Egypt to see where those religious ideas were stolen from! The White man ,the Arab and the Jew are busy claiming Ancient Egypt ! Every four months out of Hollywood comes a film trying to make Egypt White. Whilst Africans are busy BLEACHING OUT THEIR MINDS AND BODIES! If we could build those great pyramids; we can surely build our own roads today!

Africa would have been another middle east completely if that happened, North Africa should be a example for you. Fairytale nonsense

Kessythegeek:
A New York based computer programmer was shocked when he spotted images of himself and a friend labelled in an album marked 'gorillas' by Google Photos automatic tagging service (as shown above). The software gathers images it thinks are similar into collections. Google has said it is 'appalled' and 'genuinely sorry' for the mistake and is now taking action to prevent similar errors happening again in the future.

imagine the nonsense

cc : lalasticlala

So wrong and done on purpose

Should we be surprised though? I mean if Obama can be called a monkey by racists political groups and have his birth certificate questioned by weirdos like Donald trump then this incident shouldn't be a shocker

muafrika:
They did. But you know, all revolving around things like hip hop, rock etc. In short, authentic African Music like Lingala, Taarab, Tuareg music etc wasn't there. Still isn't.

Sad and disappointing, not surprised smh

Feranmicharles:
you're getting something wrong girl I never said BET is African's but rather its Africa-America which simply means Black Americans. And black american were generated from Sub-sahara countries in nigeria.

Now BET means "Black Entertainment Television"
How many blacks were honoured yesternight

Yeah I agree with you that,we africans need to put in more effort and advance our own Awards(Headies,NEA) and others. Buh still,do africans deserve what happened ystnight? Giving them award Back stage

I don't think africans deserved it but I feel it reflects on BET and shouldn't be a concern to africans in the end if the day

AAinEqGuinea:
Im African American..if it matters

The BET awards, for the most part, is a joke at least with honoring hip hop imo. Im sure Nicki Minaj, another Ms. Bleacher, took away even more awards and more publicity I bet, increasing her stock

African artists should be on center stage too and many are like Akon and Wale. but lets not ignore that there were African American B-listers who didnt make it on the primetime stage as well. I'm sure it likely doesnt have anything to do with simply being African or Nigerian or simply because African Americans dominate in that industry, but their decision more than likely equates to the size of one's fan base and appeal... imo, when you think about it, a BET or MTV award is really not an award you want or something to be proud of

You brought up some good points, it's sad b-rated musicians are ignored especially when there are some b-rated musicians Bette then some a-list musicians today. Music today I don't know what direction tjeir going but as you said BET and MTV shouldn't be taken seriously

muafrika:

I also remember the MTV Africa Awards which at first only selected hip hop and otjer American genres artists. The manager came to address the media once (when the awards were held in Kenya. He was at pains trying to answer a journalist what African music meant to them as only American styled genres like hip hop had got their attention. It was after that when weird categories like Anglophone and francophone were introduced.

I agree all those awards are American. It's natural for them to manipulate them. African music is unmatched in greatness. foreign acknowledgement or not.

Wow didn't know this, it's embarrassing that they didn't realize this before and a journalist had to bring that to their attention of what the MTV african awards should have in categories lol ridiculous

muafrika:
BET is an award for black Americans only. It means Black Entertainment Television or something.

I can't believe people waste air fare to go and be treated like that. I have a feeling a white-organized event would treat African musicians better.

I think I love Dencia. I used to hate on her for attacking our Lupita. I think the dress was a deserved insult to BET.

I agree White organized event or awards would treat Africans and other foreigners Better, have you've seen the oscars they have a foreign film section awards and it's done during the awards show despite the fact that many in this awards don't know those movies but the at least get a respect enough to be included in the ceremony. Despite that I dont feel africans should depend on the oscars and etc for recognition as well cause the oscars are for America to as well

Feranmicharles:
Hello,NLanders I don't really know where to put this maybe EDU section or Culture. Pls mods should help me upload it in the right section. Thanks


I'll start with this,why are we africans regarded as nothing Among other continents

Last night in LA where BET awards took place,where various artistes,actors,sport men etc,attended. We all know that BET is a big award also like the Grammy

I saw a topic on FP talking about what Dencia wore to BET awards last night,trust me,those NLanders that commented hurl abusive words on her,leaving her tweet "focus on the fact that africans artists still get awards 5hrs b4 the show in front of empty seats not my outfit #DearAfricans #bet she wrote. Buh most ppl left aside that and comment on her dress

Pls can you tell me why african artistes were given awards 5hrs before the show,IN FRONT OF EMPTY SEATS Any answer? Yeah,its racism

They were given the award just for them to leave pronto, why cos they were nothing

Kenzo eddy the uganda musician received his award back stage why now Racism

To me dencia's outfit was okay:* had it been 'twas rihanna or Bey who wore such or similar to it,you'd all be praising them why,don't we appreciate what we have

Even the "BET" na "Black Entertainment Television" celebrating African-American ppl,but today nko? The Oyinbos don dominate am

Now let's put that aside a little bit. The communication company 2go was invented by some african students,basically S/africans. Now,today where's 2go We don't appreciate what we have there was even a time i was on 2go,and my bro saw me 2going and he said hehehe,ppl still dey 2go,let's be appreciative 4 once na

I was tweeting some days back,I saw one "oyinbo" guy who tweeted "who's this Aliko Dangote that's trending? Oh he's the one who wanna buy arsenal he further by saying "damn it!!! Let him use his money to feed his fellow africans not to buy arsenal omo if you see d RT and FAV this guy got Nawa sha

Do you really think arsenal team can be sold to Aliko Dangote

Sometimes sef I jus wonder and keep wondering why God created african BLACK and we're the only continent which majority are BLACKS ,why Make I no jus sin(plenty tinz dey wey I go ask God if I make heaven sha)

There was a time,I was watching football and some players carried a banner with these characters boldly written on it Say No To Racism. Is it really working

Now we've given ourselves a logo "Black is Beautiful ,Are we truly beautiful? Maybe yes in some cases sha

Pls why we Africans treated like this na

BET is a awards show for african Americans NOT Africans, it has nothing to do with racism and why you are complaining about it baffles me to be honest. African Americans have a right to do their own awards show as they see fit, african musicians are not a priority to them cause that music doesn't cater to that demographic. Africans and Nigerians have their own awards shows, it may not be up to BETs level yet in exposure but soon its reaching there. Africans need to concentrate on themselves and stop begging people from other entertainment industries to give them a platform or audience. Look at Nollywood it was created as a result of Nigerians wanting to see movies with people that are from their community about issues that relate to them, the same goes with Indians with Bollywood or Asians and their movie industry.

BET, Grammys and etc are award shows for America and to an extent the western world not Africa.

lashane:
It is with immense sadness that I have followed the turn of events in the last days in the US. Finally, the greatest country in the world, the pacesetters in ideas and development, the legacy makers, and the biggest world shaper have now legalised gay marriage. It puts the question; must the western ideas be right for every other nation? In no time they will amplify their efforts to choke it down the throat of other communities using all strategies, from policies, to the social media, to movies. They will stare it into our face till there will be no breathing space. It brings up the reasoning that, America will only celebrate and make popular what it want. Regards Polygamy, the west re-wrote the books, re-shaped the world and made the world believe that it was such an absurd thing to do. When even to God our creator, Polygamy is admissible . A number of the Prophets of God were Polygamist, Noah, Abraham, Jacob, David, Solomon, Mohammd (pbuh). Even before the whites came to Africa with their thoughts, our fore fathers practiced it peacefully and coexisted harmoniously. Apparently, I am not encouraging polygamy, but only trying to shed more light to the issue that, Americans make right what they want and prefer, and they would do everything to institutionalise it to be grounded. I am happy that I am off this generation, in a 100years to come or more, humans living by then would be confused on what sexuality to live by, as ones neighbour might be gay and the house opposite could be lesbians. I also foresee history been made as the agitation to emanate soon, will be having the first gay Mayor, Governor and even President. My posit is thus: America has a blend of the both, a carrot and a stick. A carrot to make life easier, fun filled and a stick to push us towards perdition. Examples of the carrots are: Education, Infrastructural development, Internet, Shaping trendy life and styles........while the Sticks are: Guns, adverse effect of the internet for Illicit sex videos, Nude dress codes, Selfish political policies etc, gradual extinction of the Godly ethos. My advice to all and sundry is thus; be weary of the west, they make the world easier with their inventions and level of development, but they could make one loose thoughts of the real reason we were born, which is to strive to obey and serve God almighty.

I think you are over exaggerating this just a bit, but I don't know why this is a surprise because for the most part being gay is accepted in America, so this new federal law was bound to happen. Polygamy will never be accepted in America, cause it's a old school practice that doesn't sit well with people in the western world but in Nigeria it's the reverse. Even before the anti-gay law in nigeria, America and England put pressure in nigeria and Nigeria still passed the anti-gay law so I don't know what else pressure they can do to change the Nigerian governments mind. As much as some Africans don't agree with polygamy, it is still accepted and embraced by many Africans. I guess every country had their own way of doing things, not everything follows the same line.

Shymm3x:
The article might be directed to African Americans and mostly black diaspora - but I believe there are a lot of jewels there for Africans as well.

yea you are right it is directed towards Africans Americans but their are a few in the list that Africans can at least learn something from. When I read the list many of the listed was spot on that I found it funny to a extent but bitterly true

EnlightenedSoul:


Please, disregard him. He's a anomaly. Just look at all his posts - they're nothing but the redundant rantings of a sex-starved lunatic w/ Down Syndrome and half the IQ of a reprobate dingbat. I mean, I feel terrible using DS in this context seeing as I've worked and interacted with young ones (great people) who have DS, but frankly I'm not sure how else to put it. Don't even take him seriously.

lol, I understand hopefully the moderators will be more aggressive about this nutt case

ArtanK:
Tadiyas,

It is a lost cause bro. The moderators don't care and it seems like people enjoy his company.

Btw are you half Somali or just an Ethiopian Somali?

I think some of The moderators do care but that lunatic keeps poping up, even one of the moderators fulaman mentioned this. Although I do feel if the moderators are more aggressive about him they could have easily get rid of him. Also nobody enjoys his company but the way people react to him is different. Most ignore him, some report him and taunt him at the same time and a few have directly fought him back in his game. Don't confuse the taunting with enjoying his company, I have read some nairalanders taunt him negatively in a jokingly way. However I do think his crazy self has brought nairalanders to see him as a joke and as a result he is laughed at but not in a positive way to support ayanle/axum/ajuran or whatever he calls himself.

Ethiomali:
I apologise to all the people on Nairaland for what the twisted troll Ayanle, Axum, Ajuran and whatever the hell he likes to call himself has said about you.
I would like to distance the good people of the Horn from that individual and all he has said about our African brothers and sisters. The Horn of Africa is not only the motherland of all Africans but also the home of many passionate Afrocentrists.

Please accept this apology from me and pressure all the moderators to do something about that troll.

Sincerely,

EthioSomali

As a Nigerian and nairalander it is good what you are doing, it really helps. I would actually recommend you and many more from horn of Africa that are not insane like Axum/ayanle and the many other troll names he has, to start speaking up against him or show the reverse of what he has done in nairaland. However I must admit ayanle the somali troll has caused alot of damage in nairaland when it comes to images of the people of horn of Africa, He is actually doing it now once he entered your thread. Ayanle has been on nairaland for years posting one crazy racial thread after another on different sections from the ethnic political section to the culture section and etc. Many nairalanders from different sections know him very well and not one likes him, this will let you know how far this fool and loony bin has went so it will take awhile but I have seen about three nairalanders from horn of africa so far are slowly putting him in his place slowly. So welcome to nairaland

PAGAN9JA:
[size=32pt]SHARRRAAAP!!!!!!!!!! YOU ARE YORUBAS AND ARE DESCENDANTS OF ODUDUA!

EVERYONE, JESUS, NOAH, ADAM, etc., ARE DESCENDED FROM ODUDUA![/size]

Lmao

teetee123:
The Yorubas are one of the largest African ethnic groups south of the Sahara Desert. They are, in fact, not a single group, but rather a collection of diverse people bound together by a common language, history, and culture. The Yoruba homeland is located in West Africa. It stretches from a savanna (grassland) region in the north to a region of tropical rain forests in the south. Most Yoruba live in Nigeria. However there are also some scattered groups in Benin and Togo. During the four centuries of the slave trade, Yoruba territory was known as the Slave Coast. Uncounted numbers of Yoruba were carried to the Americas. Their descendants preserved Yoruba traditions. In several parts of the Caribbean and South America, Yoruba religion has been combined with Christianity. There are also many Yoruba descents/ diaspora who are living in North America and Europe.

Music is part of the Yoruba's culture and tradition. Many musicians of Yoruba heritage had made their mark on the world stage. Although some of them did not sing in Yoruba but they all acknowledged their heritage. The following 15 artistes were selected based on the following inclusion criteria:
a. Yoruba parentage (either father or mother)
b. Nominees or recipients of major global or African musical awards
c. Performing on the global stage
d. Being on US or European top charts
e. Popular beyond Africa

1. Fela Anikulapo Kuti
2. Tunde Baiyewu (Formerly of Lighthouse family)
3. Angelique Kidjo
4. Sade
5. Ayo
6. Asa
7. Seal
8. Lagbaja
9. King Sunny Ade
10. Ebenezer Obey
11. Femi Kuti
12. IK Dairo
13. Beautiful Nubia
14. D'Banj
15. Orlando Julius

However there are many other musicians who are of Yoruba heritage but these 15 are the ones acknowledged as the most popular ones outside Nigeria and Africa. Some are already subject of Masters and PhD dissertations in universities around the world.



FELA ANIKULAPO-KUTI
Drummer, Pianist, Civil Rights Activist, Songwriter (1938–1997)

Early Years

Musician and political activist Fela Kuti was born Olufela Olusegun Oludotun Ransome-Kuti on October 15, 1938, in Abeokuta, Nigeria. Kuti was the son of a Protestant minister, Reverend Ransome-Kuti. His mother, Funmilayo, was a political activist.

Activism Through Music

In 1963, Kuti formed a band called Koola Lobitos. He would later change the band's name to Afrika 70, and again to Egypt 80. Beginning in the 1960s, Kuti pioneered and popularized his own unique style of music called "Afrobeat." Afrobeat is a combination of funk, jazz, salsa, Calypso and traditional Nigerian Yoruba music. In addition to their distinctive mixed-genre style, Kuti's songs were considered unique in comparison to more commercially popular songs due to their length—ranging anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour long. Kuti sang in a combination of Pidgin English and Yoruba.

In the 1970s and '80s, Kuti's rebellious song lyrics established him as political dissident. As a result, Afrobeat has come to be associated with making political, social and cultural statements about greed and corruption. One of Kuti's songs, "Zombie," questions Nigerian soldiers' blind obedience to carrying out orders. Another, "V.I.P. (Vagabonds in Power)," seeks to empower the disenfranchised masses to rise up against the government.

I like the fact that you put timeless and traditional Yoruba Nigerian singers who acknowledge their Nigerian Yoruba heritage but you forgot to add davido. Maybe he should be in there over dbanj

Hahahha....very funny, you actually remind me of someone i know, anyway asking all black people in the whole world to move to Africa is just a fantasy that will never happens, having said that i know of many africa america and blacks in caribean that are currently in nigeria (south west) learning about yoruba religion/cultures.

True

gatiano:
Beautiful pictures. That is the preparation of them coming back. Yes, they laboured there in the americas, infact, Black had always been there even before the indians, let alone the europeans. They would all have to come home first. Every Black person on earth will converge in the whole of Africa which include the middle-east which is infact Northeast Africa, it only got splitted in 1850. Europeans too would go back into europe, all of them. Every man unto his or her own.

It had already started.

I think some african americans will go back to Africa but the majority of them won't and they don't have to cause America is their home in the end of the day as well, they sacraficed alot in America and it is not that simple like you said to go back to Africa as if its a whole land mass of the same people, they will have to chose what country and tribal culture they would want to relate to and thats through ancestral DNA which is even debatable with some people. The same goes with white americans, many are able to trace their ancestral homeland but many are a mix of different European ethnicities and many have evolved as Americans, so majority of them are not going any where.

Another thing you need to take into account is world populations are growing, natural resources are either decreasing or getting more competitive to get, Global warming is raring its ugly head more and economies are changing quicker then we predicted, that will affect how people migrate from one place to another

GooseBaba:
Let's face fact and discards sentiments soaked in demented illusion. African Americans must stay put in America because it's their birth rights. They should not trade that for their heritage. A lot of them have changed their names to african names, but are still proudly african americans.

Direct migration is simply wishful thinking. We should be striving to promote african history from an african perspective. When african immigrants become naturalized citizens of America does that take away their heritage or lineage. Certainly NOT..! What is all this mass migration talk.. By migrating en mass they are equally playing into the hands of whitey. How can they mass migrate and forfeite the accomplishment of their ancestors... Tufiakwa.. The destiny of african americans lies in America. If they embrace their africans ancestry wholeheartedly that is extra bonus points.

so true, I agree. Building their influence in America is the way forward for african americans

There is nothing interesting about them. They are racists, exploitative and corrupt. They treat Nigerians like second class citizens in their own country. Same with Lebanese and Indians. Had a similar experience with them. Working with them is uncondusive. These are the people who introduced 419 in Nigeria. This is what NLC should look at, they are rather killing themselves on elective positions

That's why I don't understand why some Nigerians go to places like China, Russia and etc even though it's low. If it's for business, Do business in places that at least there is respect

worry357:


You should call them "Sir" or "Maam"
They are likely to be senior persons in some company or buisness.

They will not be beggers or truk pushers but leaders in Nigeria.
The Chinese own or control nearly everything now so be respectfull to them.

You Definitely are not Nigerian, plus 99% or majority of senior positions in Nigerian companies or businesses are Nigerian not Chinese. Most chinese have contract jobs in Nigeria so most don't stay permanently. Respect is earned and if they don't give respect then nigerians don't have to show it back. Chinese own more Of America then other parts outside of china

Pidggin:
Hello, I will like to know your experience in dealing with Chinese people living in Nigeria. Have you learnt anything interesting about them, why do they find it difficult to interact with Nigerians, whatmdo you dislike about them?

Well from what I heard from family and relatives in Nigeria, they've told stories of a few Nigerians who have experienced them. They look down on any one below them, work you like a dog and don't have respect. If your a Nigerian politicians, wealthy Nigerian, and etc you won't experience that at but Nigerian that's a driver for them for example will feel the disrespect in most cases

tpiadotcom:


I think if you check every family in Nigeria, 99% will have somebody who is mixed.

ie assuming you factor in Nigerians who do not live in Nigeria or who are resident outside of their ethnic origins.

I think the Briggs fit in to this. Maybe Saotome and Princippe have this kind of people than a nigerian population. People like Sade Adu.

Sade Adu, Nneka, caroline Ekanem, Lillian Bach, Ramsey Noauh, lola omotayo, are good examples cause they were all born in Nigeria but are all of mixed ethnicity, culture and race. People like that are so low in numbers in Nigeria
