This graphic ranks the 15 largest countries in the world, by land area. Data is sourced from the World Bank, last updated January, 2025.

It also includes the share of forest and agricultural land per country. We explain how these metrics are calculated in later sections.

Canada Loses Out in Land Area

Russia is the largest country by land area (16.4 million km² / 6.2 million sq. miles), nearly double the size of second-ranked China (9.4 million km² / 3.6 million sq. miles ).

But hold on, isn’t Canada supposed to be the second-largest country in the world? The answer is: it depends.

As previously mentioned, land area is a very specific term that doesn’t include area under lakes and rivers. As a result, Canada—where 9% of the total area is covered by freshwater—loses some ground to peers.

Per the World Bank, land area is an important estimation of a country’s agricultural ability and is used to track the environmental effects of human activity.

Most Countries Are Forests and Farmland

A benefit of measuring land area is seeing how much of a share forests and agricultural land take up.

In Russia, for example, nearly half of its entire area is covered by forests.

In China and the U.S. most of the land available is used for agriculture.

Speaking of agricultural land: Saudi Arabia has it listed at 81% of the land area. This is odd, since most of the country is a desert, with little precipitation, and not exactly suitable for farming.

A quick check of the metadata reveals that agricultural land is a self-reported figure and includes croplands, pastures, and land devoted to the rearing of animals.

In short, the country may have zoned or declared land as agricultural, even if it’s not used as such.

Also, Where Do Humans Live?

Over the last century, more and more of the human population has moved to cities.

As a result they’ve become hubs of economic growth, in turn attracting more people, and many of them are more populous than entire countries.

But cities don’t take up much room, especially compared to forests.

In the top 15 ranks, China has the largest share of urban land (5%), as well as the most area built into cities.

Australia has the least share (0.16%) but Sudan has the smallest total city area (3,790 km2), as its people live mostly in the rural countryside.

China’s Marriage Decline Sparks Fresh Demographic Concerns

China has recorded a sharp 20.5% decline in marriages, the latest signal of worsening demographic challenges as the country struggles to boost birth rates despite economic concerns among young families.

According to data from the Chinese Ministry of Civil Affairs, only 6.1 million couples registered for marriage in 2024, down from 7.7 million in the previous year. This significant drop aligns with China’s third consecutive year of population decline, following India’s overtaking of the country as the world’s most populous nation in 2023.

China’s Aging Population Crisis

China’s 1.4 billion population is rapidly aging, with nearly a quarter of its people aged 60 or above as of late 2024. This shift places immense pressure on pension funds, healthcare systems, and workforce sustainability, raising concerns about the country’s long-term economic stability.

For decades, China’s economic growth has been fueled by its vast workforce, but demographic shifts are now threatening this advantage. The country has been implementing pro-family policies to encourage births, but these efforts have yet to yield significant results.

Why Are Young Chinese Avoiding Marriage?

Despite subsidies and incentives to promote family life, many young Chinese are reluctant to get married due to:

1. High cost of living – Rising housing prices, education expenses, and childcare costs make family life unaffordable for many.

2. Job market uncertainty – Young graduates face a tough employment environment, leading to financial insecurity.

3. Changing societal attitudes – More young people are embracing singlehood, citing reduced financial pressure and greater personal freedom.

The Legacy of China’s One-Child Policy

China’s one-child policy, imposed in the 1980s, was aimed at curbing overpopulation but has now contributed to a shrinking younger generation. Although the policy was relaxed in 2016 and couples were allowed three children in 2021, the effects of decades-long population control remain deeply rooted in society.

Government Response: Raising the Retirement Age

To address the aging population and declining workforce, Beijing announced in September 2024 that it would gradually raise the statutory retirement age, which had been one of the lowest in the world at 60. This move is aimed at extending the working years of older citizens to help sustain economic productivity.

Future Implications

With fewer marriages and an aging population, China faces mounting economic and social challenges. If the marriage and birth rate trends continue downward, the country will have to rethink its policies on workforce sustainability, retirement planning, and social welfare.

The question remains: Can China reverse its demographic decline before it becomes an irreversible crisis?

Tesla stock’s steep losses in early 2025 have cut tens of billions of dollars away from the net worth of the world’s richest man, the electric vehicle maker’s CEO Elon Musk, whose outspoken role in President Donald Trump’s administration draws questions about what it may mean for Tesla.

Shares of Tesla declined 6.3% to $328.50 in Tuesday trading, closing at its lowest share price since Nov. 15.

Catalyzing Tuesday’s drop were advancements in autonomous driving from its Chinese EV rival BYD and a skeptical note from Oppenheimer analysts led by Colin Rusch warning Musk’s “political activity risks consumer backlash.”

The Oppenheimer note, which referenced “concerning” January sales in China and Europe, comes a day after Stifel analysts led by Stephen Gengaro similarly warned “the negative downturn in consumers' perception of Elon Musk could result in a ‘headwind to sales’ for Tesla,” which inspired a 3% loss in Monday trading for Tesla shares.

Tesla stock is now down 18.8%, or more than $76 per share, in February, declining almost 32% from its all-time closing high of $479.86 set Dec. 17.

Nobody has been affected more on a gross basis by the Tesla slump than its largest shareholder, Musk, who owns nearly 13% of the company and a further 9% equity award pending legal appeal (Forbes discounts Musk’s 9% bonus by 50% in its valuation to reflect its legal uncertainty).

Musk was worth $378.8 billion Tuesday, according to Forbes’ latest calculations – a $42.8 billion decrease from his $421.6 billion net worth at the end of January – though he remains about $130 billion wealthier than the next richest person on the planet, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg.

I can't read this long article, Yoruba fought no wars the ones they fought was between themselves which is costumary of every ethnic group attacking pretty weak tribes or clans around them to unify them as one people, Fulanis still have illorin today as a conquered land , and their is no such thing as Yoruba meaning OYO OBA

Nowenuse:
My brother. Eggon and Mada people made a very big mistake! They thought they were being dominated and marginalized in Plateau state, then they joined those wolves in sheep clothing (Kambari/Kanuri of Lafia) and others to agitate for their own state. See where it has landedd them, let them produce the governor of Nasarawa state let us see na.

Immediately Nasarawa state was created, the Kanuri and hausa fulani emirate minorities joined forces with the tribal muslims to hijack the state. All the stake holders agreed that the capital of the state should be in Akwanga, only for Abacha to turn around overnight and carry the capital to Lafia (where his kanuri brothers are).

Eggon/Mada people were clearly deceived and manipulated. They thought they would get the capital in Akwanga.

To worsen the case in Nasarawa, the muslims have set the Eggon/mada christians in enimity against the other Christians in the state using tribalism. Aren't you surprised that Buhari has never won Nasarawa state? This is because when it comes to FG elections, all the christians in the state unite, but when it comes to state elections, they are divided along tribe.

Well, let's see how the next election will be, I hope the eyes of all Nasarawa christians will open this time around to see that they are being played. Governorship is to be zoned to Nasarawa north where the majority are christians (Eggon/mada people). Let's see how they will manipulate it this time around.


As for that Gbagyi king of Karu, I have never heard anything as such, but even if i did, I wouldn't be surprised! Gbagyi people have a slavish mentality and high inferiority. Can't you see how hausas are dominating them on their lands in Minna, Suleja and other parts of Niger east?

Gbagyi people are the reason why christians lost domination of Kaduna city. Infact, if not for other southern kaduna tribes who joined forces and have managed to influence the Gbagyis over there, it would have been a completely lost case.

Gbagyi christian political leaders used to support Hausa muslims in Kaduna state over southern kaduna people in the past. Not until Sharia 2001 crisis when thousands of the Gbagyis were killed by hausas, did they realize that hausas are the enemies and not their fellow Christians. It is just very sad. Gbagyi people act as if they are under a curse by hausas. Anyway, let me stop here.

And you are very correct, if not for the proximity of Karu to Abuja, Karu would have been no different from Keffi, Toto and Nasarawa LGA where most of the gbagyi towns are now dominated by hausas. It is just very shameful.


As for the Ebiras and Barubas, take them serious at your own peril. Most of them are pro caliphate and are no different from nupes and even hausas to an extent. They are tools of the caliphate to destabilize the unique middlebelt identity and struggle.

Over 90% of Ilorin indigenes are of Yoruba ancestry. The so-called Fulani being referred to in Ilorin are actually of mixed bloodlines (Yoruba/Fulani) and Yoruba is the language that is spoken in Ilorin because it is part of Yorubaland - right up to Jebba on the banks of River Niger where there is an Oba of Jebba, Kwara State.

Abdulfatah Ahmed the Governor of Kwara
State is a Yorubaman from "Share." Even Sen. Bukola Saraki's grandfather who was the leader of Nigerians in Côte d' Ivoire in the early 1960s was originally from Abeokuta before migrating to Ilorin for Quranic studies! This is an open secret in Kwara state. Bukola Saraki's mother is from the Royal family in Owo, Ondo State. I mean the Olagbegi Royal Family!


The late Dr. Olusola Saraki's mother is from Iseyin [Agarawu Compound, which is a Royal House] in Oyo State. I have an August 15, 1998 Saturday GUARDIAN, page 12 interview
where Dr. Olusola Saraki said if the majority of
Yoruba of Kwara and Kogi choose to join their kith and kin in the West in a boundary adjustment, he is in support of it because he considers himself a part of the West. He even made reference to his ancestral link with Abeokuta in that interview... But he only made reference to his father's grandmother [Dr. Olusola Saraki's paternal great grandmother] as being the daughter of Baase in Lafenwa, Abeokuta!


Even the British colonialists indicated in the colonial records and archives that Ilorin is a Yoruba town! Sir Allan Burns ALSO indicated this FACT in his book "The History of Nigeria" so there is NO need to fight or kill anyone.


The battle should be a LEGAL and intellectual
battle by using the historical documents that
the British left which clearly indicate that Ilorin is a Yoruba town! A referendum will be done and the Yoruba Oba will come into being. This is what the Ekundayo Panel suggested. You can Google the results of the Justice Ekundayo Panel on the Ilorin Chieftaincy struggle online.


Sir Allan Burns was the Acting Governor General of Nigeria and also the Governor of Gold Coast, so, he was saying the right thing.


I hope this helps.

This is the problem I have with people who are literate but act ignorant in the name of religion...even calendars in Saudi Arabia has the date of the start of Ramadan stated already...the calculation on sighting of the moon in any region of the world is 100% correct..no Muslim need anyone to tell him or her when to start fasting..nor did the Quran say someone has to see the moon and tell you when to fast ..the Sultan has no authority on that, technology has taken over that..heck Bashir we have satellites up there and man has been to the moon.. knows it's velocity, knows it's trajectory, Islam and the Arab world were the leaders in astronomy but wahabiss type of Islam killed it because someone want to claim know it all in Islam..also when i was young northern Muslim starting day of Ramadan or ileya was a day different.. didn't know how it got to be same day..even kanuri don't follow sultan announcements.

The Federal Executive Council (FEC) has approved the concession of the Kashimbila Integrated Cargo/Agro-Allied Airport in Taraba, under a Public Private Partnership (PPP) arrangement.

A statement issued in Abuja on Friday by Ifeanyi Nwoko, Acting Head, Media and Publicity, Infrastructure Concession Regulatory Commission (ICRC), said that the projects were approved under the regulatory guidance of the ICRC.

The statement said the project cuts across agriculture, water resources and aviation sectors.

It said that on one hand, it featured the upgrade of an airstrip in Kashimbilla to a Cargo/Agro-Allied Airport.

“On the other hand, it has a combination of no fewer than 3,000 hectares of farmland, fish farming facilities and a ranch for livestock farming.”

The statement quoted Jobson Ewalefoh, Director-General (D-G), ICRC, as commending President Bola Tinubu for quickly approving the project whose facilities are expected to enhance Nigeria’s agricultural export potential.

“The processes for this project were started and completed in six months, in fulfilment of the charge given to me by President Tinubu to accelerate PPP projects’ procurement.

“The Kashimbila project includes the concession of over 3,000 hectares of farmland for irrigation farming and the upgrade of the airport for agro-cargo services.


“It also includes the development of an aerotropolis and Free Trade Zone with business parks, logistics hubs and residential areas.”

The D-G said the project located in Taraba, aimed to enhance agricultural logistics, improve market access and stimulate economic development.

Mr Ewalefoh said that the concession would among other things, boost agricultural productivity by enabling year-round irrigation farming and create employment opportunities.

He said that the concession would also attract investment in agribusiness and stimulate local and national economies through trade and exports.

Mr Ewalefoh said that with the Kashimbilla project, regional integration would be enhanced as Taraba would be connected to the national and international markets, facilitating trade, as thousands of direct and indirect jobs would be created.

He said that the project was expected to generate N4.1 trillion in revenue from multiple sources during the concession period.

The D-G thanked the relevant ministries for their efforts in ensuring the success of the inter-agency collaboration to achieve the renewed hope agenda of President Tinubu.

Oga Kon.quest I throway salute

If there is any truth the the claim that the mother of the student involved in that fracas alleged that her daughter suffered from mental illness, the speed with which the confrontation escalated to wrestling is less of a mystery in light of that new revelation.

Be that as it may, I would like you to consider how things would have turned out if the lecturer simply IGNORED whatever rude comments were made by that student, and continue walking along that hallway without showing any sign of having taken offence to what he heard.

In my opinion the entire storm in a teacup ONLY began when the lecturer laid hands on the woman and tried to grab her phone. That is where he crossed the line and put the student's tolerance of being manhandled to test. Regardless of whether the student had a history of mental illness, she would never have been placed in a position of having to physically defend herself, if that man had not attacked her spontaneously and in the absence of any direct PHYSICAL provocation.

The RIGHT thing that the lecturer should have done would have been to pull out his own phone and PHOTOGRAPH the student, so as to identify her for disciplinary action later. Instead of that rational approach, the lecturer descended into frenzied animalistic behavior by attacking a woman, which is COWARDLY and shows the man to be a bully who is NOT in control of his temper and is thus a danger to innocent people in his vicinity.

That lecturer deserves to be sacked immediately and blacklisted so that he can never lecture in any Nigerian university for as long as he lives.

Afenifere Chieftain Pa Ayo Adebanjo is dead.

He died on Friday at his Lekki residence in Lekki.

He was 96.

A statement by the family said he died peacefully.

It reads: "With a heart full of gratitude for a selfless life spent in the service of God, the nation and humanity, we announce the passing on of our beloved patriarch, Chief Samuel Ayodele Adebanjo.

"He died peacefully this morning, Friday, February 14, 2025 at his Lekki, Lagos Nigeria home at the age of 96.

"The foremost nationalist, elder statesman, distinguished lawyer, very distinct politician, apostle of true federalism, former organising secretary of Action Group and the national leader of Afenifere is survived by his 94 year-old wife, Chief Christy Ayo-Adebanjo, children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.

"We will forever cherish his commitment to fighting for truth, equity and justice. His belief and struggle for a truly independent and progressive Nigeria was total and this he fought for until he breathed his last breath.

"The family is consulting with Papa's friends, associates, numerous interest groups across the length and breadth of Nigeria and beyond, to fine tune plans for a befitting funeral details which will be communicated in due course.

A condolence register is open at his residence in Lagos (8, Ayo Adebanjo Close, Lekki Phase 1, Lagos) and his country home in Isanya Ogbo, near Ijebu Ode Ogun State."

Jakumo:
The following response was posted among others addressing this WRONGFUL and ILLEGAL dismissal of a university student who was forced to fight off a lunatic lecturer on a violent rampage and hellbent on groping a woman's breasts under a suitable pretext .

"Women's rights apply selectively in Nigeria. This female university student was minding her own business chatting with friends and using her phone while standing in a hallway exactly as all college student are prone to do when outside the classroom.

For reasons that simply do not matter from the standpoint of legality, this lecturer decided to grab the student's phone, thus committing a violent assault since the student resisted that attempt to grab her property. It is noteworthy that this lecturer decided to physically grapple with a female student despite the fact that she never made any initial attempt to touch his person by way of provocation.

It is obvious that this lecturer derived perverted sexual gratification from physically assaulting the female student, REGARDLESS of the flimsy excuse the man offered to explain his being the INSTIGATOR of that physical confrontation by his action of trying to grab a phone that was NOT his property, REGARDLESS of the excuses he may cook up to try and rationalize his momentary departure from sanity.

The lady who has been WRONGLY dismissed from university should now engage the services of a reputable and competent barrister at law who will then prepare a robust civil lawsuit demanding substantive monetary damages from the university that carried out this rash dismissal, AND from the sexual predator lecturer who used the color of authority to cop a feel and grab a woman's breasts because he was unable to control his animal instincts. An example MUST be set of this opportunistic bully who parades himself as a lecturer yet cannot control his raging lustful urges. "

You are funny my guy! What exactly do you know about Kaduna? Do you think it is just divided into north and south? Kaduna has three electoral zones; Kaduna north, Kaduna central and Kaduna south. Kaduna south is completely a southern Kaduna enclave, Kaduna central is made up of several constituents and Chikun, Kaduna south and kajuru constitute about 49% of the voters in that zone. In the north, there are tribes who have not been treated nicely by the hausas even though they are Muslims. the hausas call them "Yare" meaning tribes because they feel they aren't like them. the truth is their vote never really counts. What gives the predominant northern hausas in Kaduna the political power they have is the division among the SK people in the past and the SK people are seeing their folly already. The composition of Kaduna state is not one that is easy to analyse.

Nigeria has signed a pipeline deal which would transport billions of cubic metres of gas 4,128 kilometres (2,565 miles) from Nigeria in West Africa through Niger and on to Algeria.

Officials from the three countries on Tuesday signed the deal in Algiers, Algeria’s capital, aimed at accelerating the development of a vast natural gas pipeline toward Europe.

The Trans-Saharan Gas Pipeline (TSGP) deal would also see the gas pumped through the undersea Mediterranean pipeline, Transmed to Italy, or loaded onto liquefied natural gas tankers for export.

The contracts centred on “an update of the feasibility study” and other issues, including non-disclosure agreements among their state energy companies.

The feasibility update will lay out the “required means for accelerating the development of this major project in a timely manner and at competitive costs,” Algerian Energy Minister Mohamed Arkab said.

While no update was given for the pipeline’s cost, which was estimated at launch at $10 billion, the project has been given new urgency by a surge in gas demand worldwide and soaring prices sparked by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022

But in my hometown in Edo State there is also Fulani herdsmen menace everywhere. My dad was into large farming b4, but it was this same Fulani herdsmen wahala that made him stop the large farming business and him decided to be making just little farms close to our house just for his personal usage only.

Fulani herdsmen came with their cows to my father's farm back then and destroy all the crops in huge hectares of land and nothing we could do about it other than to report the matter to the Community head then complain complain untill till matter died off. So many people in my hometown also had same experience many times and most of them decided to stop large farming because of that. They only makes little little farms on their backyards just for personal use only.

Even me here, I have called my people so many times that that I want to come home and invest in farming because I can't get enough land for farming over where I'm living, but they kept telling me that there is no huge space close to our village where I can farm because the whole villagers have pile themselves on the lands close to the village because they are all afraid to go to the reserve area. They told me me that the only place I can get huge space is at the reserve area, but if I dear going there, anything wey my eye see there make I take am like that.
