Akpabio Responds To Criticism Of "Let The Poor Breathe" Motion by naptu2: 9:47am

Worst slogan ever is this crappy , "let the poor breathe". Anyone with a modicum of knowledge on world history knows how mischievous those trying to trend this slogan are being. And, actually, I'm generous , the more accurate label would be to attach wicked and evil to them. It is a very destructive slogan coined by very selfish, mischievous individuals that mean Nigerians no long term good, placing, as they are, thire political motivations and ambitions above the future well being of the very poor they pretend to care about.

A better slogan is , " let Nigeria breath!!' the mases of Nigeria should never be brainwashed as they are by these people to expect first world social provisions on the architecture of a third world country like Nigeria. The ambition is good and laudable but not the expectation that we should have had it yesterday so let us hold the people in power handsome today. And one of the worst aspect is hamstringing authorities by labelling the very things government does, or intends to do in order to lift the people out of poverty, as rights violations or cruel and insensitive, for example raising taxes, demolition illegal structures, investing in national security, or significant projects. Anything, other than lowbrow ameliorations such as doling out bread to the people in long lines.

People of civil society , allow that, poor, third world country called Nigeria breath for god sake before you finally break her , exposing the very poor you pretend care for to the abysmal wilderness that is shabby , poverty stricken Africa of war, hunger and strife!

I also disprove but popsy should take heart from the fact that her's was a brilliant move for this media age. It will remain topical. Taking her top off will leave an indelible mark on the history of the women's game. It is something that will be discussed from all sorts of angles, pertinently in regards to feminism and the politics of gender. She and Nigeria will be trending when this world cup is discussed in future. She made Nigerians edgy, reinforcing the knowledge of Nigerians as people that are not meek or deferring .

This may sound facetious but I'm serious. If you feel Nigeria is hell on earth and anywhere outside Africa is better; however you now know Europe is bitterly against migrants, why not- as that US soldier did- try North Korea ?

North Korea benefits - off the top of my head:

1) N.Korea will welcome you since the regime has always wanted to seem legitimate befor the world's eyes. You migrating there would be used by them as endorsement.

2) North Korea will never let you leave, so you need not fear deportation.

3) You may live the life of a celebrity since you're certain to be used by the regime for publicity, specifically to show the glorious life that exist in North Korea for the people thanks to the beneficence of comrade Kim.

4) you may accidentally acquire super human abilities in any of the period you spend being experimented on.

5) you'll benefit from North Korea spoiling you as they drive to prove to the world that life for blacks in North Korea can be better than life in the West.

6) Since you'll be world famous due to international media discussing your case, if you ever manage to leave N.kora , a lucrative career awaits plying the T.V and radio interview circuit.

7) If you're one of those Strange Africans that live only for demarketing Nigeria, by migrating to North Korea, you'll strike a huge blow against Nigeria.

Original thinking is better than believing if it's not done abroad then it must be stupid or no good.

I kinda like the idea, hope the uni perseveres with it, even in spite of the strongest criticisms, and that it eventually works as conceptualised.

Tinubu's administration is going to be in big trouble if he keeps informing his policies based on advice from all those that employ the leverage of the people's wants rather than the people's needs.

If the president is a parent, the people are the children and a house is the country, what the children Need is a strict, disciplined regime that priorities order and provides. What the children want is a free reign do do as they wish while eschewing responsibility.

Tinubu needs to stop flip-flopping, trying to accommodate everyone. He needs to do what he did for Lagos and may need to do so with an iron hand.

If true, those people deserve life imprisonment. Part of my conscience wont let me reveal how the other half secretly wishes the resumption of the death penalty.

30 Countries With Highest Rates of Population Growth

In this article, we will learn which countries have the highest population growth rates globally and what factors impact this increase. If you want to skip the details, jump to 10 Countries With Highest Rates Of Population Growth.

27 out of 30 countries with the highest rates of population growth are from Africa. While currently not the most populous, 3 African countries, namely the Democratic Republic of Congo, Tanzania, and Ethiopia, are forecasted to surpass the currently populous countries like Bangladesh, Mexico, and Brazil by 2100. Such resource-intensive population growth rates in the continent are not surprising because 24 out of the 25 Countries With The Highest Fertility Rates are from Africa, with Niger having the highest fertility rate as per 2020 data from the United Nations. According to the UN, half of the planet's population growth between now and 2050 will be in Africa, owing to a gradual increase in life spans and more people surviving to reach the reproductive age.
However, Europe's population trends present a sharp contrast as fertility in European countries is below the level required to replace the current population, i.e., 2.1 children per woman. As a result, countries like Japan, Ukraine, Latvia, and Romania are projected to see a 15% decline in their populations by 2050. The United States is well in the middle of the population growth rate in global comparison, with a growth rate of about 0.7% in the last 10 years.
Which Country Has The Highest Rate Of Population Growth?
The latest demographic statistics say that Syria has the highest population growth rate of 6.39%. The country's population increased from 4.57 million to 21.32 million between 1960 and 2021, i.e. 366.3 percent in 61 years. When the global population in the same period rose by 160.2%, Syria's populace was surely way ahead of the average. The rapid population growth in Syria can be attributed to the under-five mortality rate, which is 22.3 per 1,000 births, while the global average is 38 deaths per 1,000 live births, as per UNICEF. A lower under-five mortality rate implies an increased number of children surviving into adolescence and reaching their reproductive ages.
Which Country Has The Lowest Population Growth Rate?
Population growth rates are subject to factors like fertility, mortality, and migration patterns. If we exclude territories, certain European countries demonstrate the lowest population growth rates in the world.
Currently, Moldova has the lowest population growth rate, totaling -1.14%, closely followed by Latvia, with a growth rate of -1.13%. Other notable European nations with declining population rates are Lithuania, Romania, and Estonia, as their growth percentages are -1.04%, -1.01%, and -0.74, respectively,
Among these, Moldova's declining population is driven by high emigration and low fertility rates. Similarly, Latvia's demographic trends exhibit substantial emigration and low birth rates, thus leading to a shrinkage in its population. Lithuania and Romania share these traits and are confronting substantial population decline primarily due to a decrease in the natural growth rate.
These fertility declines are observed in an era when advancements in medical science have brought forth multiple treatments. For instance, Progyny, Inc. (NASDAQ:PGNY) has around 950 fertility experts and 650 clinics across the US. Owing to the development in fertility treatments, Progyny, Inc. (NASDAQ:PGNY) delivers vital services related to In Vitro Gametogenesis (IVG) and oocyte cryopreservation, i.e., egg freezing. Other treatments Progyny, Inc. (NASDAQ:PGNY) offers are IUI, TIC, and IVF.
Likewise, the Cooper Companies, Inc. (NYSE:COO) actively participates in the fertility industry and is functioning as an international medical device enterprise. The Cooper Companies, Inc. (NYSE:COO) fabricates fertility-related products for the women's healthcare sector, along with a range of additional merchandise. Cooper Companies, Inc. (NYSE:COO) is also considered a leader in IVF and reproductive genetics, focused on improving fertility solutions.

30 Countries With Highest Rates of Population Growth
30 Countries With Highest Rates Of Population Growth

Our Methodology
To find countries with the highest rates of population growth in 2023, we used the CIA's World Factbook that compiled all countries' recent stats regarding population. Then to understand what impacts the population growth rate by country, we explored UNICEF's under-five mortality rates per 1000 births in these countries. Also, as contraceptive measures impact how unchecked a country's population is growing, we referred to UNFPA's world population data. More sources for this study were UNDESA, The World Bank, and Pew Research Center, among others.
Based on our findings, here are 30 countries with the highest rates of population growth:
30. Papua New Guinea
Population Growth Rate: 2.31%
Our list of countries with the highest rates of population growth starts with Oceania, where Papua New Guinea's 3.85 fertility results in a population increase of 2.31% per year. There's also a 28% prevalence of modern contraceptive measures in young women, according to UNFPA's Papua New Guinea chapter.
29. Republic Of Congo
Population Growth Rate: 2.33%
The Republic of Congo lies on the Northwestern side of the Democratic Republic of Congo (the larger country) and has a population of 6.1 million in 2023. The country's population growth rate is 2.33%, supported by its fertility rate of 4.32.
28. Gabon
Population Growth Rate: 2.39%
Gabon's humble population of 2.4 million is growing at the rate of 2.39% per year, owing to its fertility of 3.26 kids per woman. The country's mortality rate is 39.7 per 1000 kids under 5 years of age, and the country's 60% population lies between the age group of 15-64.
27. Venezuela
Population Growth Rate: 2.40%
The only South American nation amongst countries with the highest rates of population growth is the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. The country's population is 28.8 million in 2023, while its fertility rate is 2.2. But unlike Africa with high population growth rates by country, Venezuela's consistent population rise stems from its good life expectancy, as evidenced by a low under-five mortality rate of 24.2 per 1000 live births.
26. Sierra Leone
Population Growth Rate: 2.41%
Sierra Leone is on the list of countries with the highest rates of population growth that'll soon increase its 8.8 million population. The nation's fertility rate is 3.71, while the ongoing population increase rate is 2.41%. UNDP data suggests that around 59.2% of the people of Sierra Leone are poor, and there's rising food insecurity amidst the global inflation rates.
25. Ethiopia
Population Growth Rate: 2.42%
Ethiopia's 3.92 fertility rate puts its population growth percentage at 2.42% per year. The country's under-five mortality rate is 48.6, and contraceptive usage in young women stands at 30%. If left unregulated, Ethiopia's current population of 126 million will keep rising and prove to be extremely resource intensive.
24. Togo
Population Growth Rate: 2.45%
Togo's 9.1 million population is rising at the rate of 2.45% per year because of its 4.18 fertility rate. The country's under-five mortality rate is 62.6 (moderate compared to global stats), and there's a 25% contraceptive prevalence rate among women of reproductive age. Furthermore, according to the World Food Programme, over 50% of people in Togo live in poverty.
23. Burkina Faso
Population Growth Rate: 2.46%
Burkina Faso's population in 2023 is 23.3 million, and the country's average fertility rate is 4.14. Even though the usage of modern contraceptive measures in women aged 15-49 is 30% in Burkina Faso, the country's population growth rate is 2.46% as of current. UNICEF data also tells that the country's under-five mortality rate is 82.6 per 1000 live births. Burkina Faso's population is projected to see a 298% surge by 2100.
22. Somalia
Population Growth Rate: 2.49%
World Bank's concerning stats show that nearly 70% of Somali people live below the poverty line. When paired with the contraceptive prevalence of merely 7% in women of reproductive age, these figures predict an alarming population increase. Somalia's fertility rate in 2023 is 5.22, as per the CIA World Factbook.
21. Senegal
Population Growth Rate: 2.52%
Senegal's fertility rate is 4.17 in 2023, that is resulting in its population growth rate of 2.52%. The country's under-five mortality rate is 38.5 (the world's average is 38), and because there's limited contraceptive prevalence (22%) according to UNFPA, Senegal's population is consistently increasing.
20. Nigeria
Population Growth Rate: 2.53%
Out of the 223 million population in Nigeria, there's only 18% contraceptive prevalence in women between the age group of 15 to 49. Such stats depict how unregulated the population growth might be in the country. Also, as 63% of people living in Nigeria are poor, the government needs to implement thorough measures to regulate the population growth rate.
19. Guinea-Bissau
Population Growth Rate: 2.54%
Guinea-Bissau is a small country in Africa, currently housing around 2.06 million people. However, the nation's population growth rate of 2.54% depicts that these numbers will double in the near future without population control measures. Given the small population, Guinea-Bissau's under-five mortality rate of 74.3 per 1,000 births and maternal death rate of 725 per 100,000 births are quite alarming.
18. Sudan
Population Growth Rate: 2.55%
Sudan has an alarmingly low contraceptive prevalence of 11% in women aged between 15-49 years, according to UNFPA. The country's fertility rate is 4.54, and when we look at its under-five death rate of 54.9, Sudan's expected population explosion makes sense. Sadly enough, around 46% of the countrymen in Sudan live below the poverty line and don't afford a good quality of life.
17. Mozambique
Population Growth Rate: 2.55%
Mozambique is one of the countries with highest population growth rates, standing at 2.55% in 2023. With the existing fertility rate of 4.74 and a moderate under-five death toll of 69.6 per 1000 live births, the country's population will expand further. Also, as per the World Bank estimates, 63.7% of the country's population is under the poverty line, and the contraceptive prevalence rate of only 29% in women of the reproductive age group puts it in consistent danger of unplanned births.
16. Libera
Population Growth Rate: 2.71%
Liberia is a small African country with a population of just a little over 5 million. However, the country's population growth rate of 2.71% shows that its numbers will soon increase when combined with its ongoing fertility rate of 4.73.
15. Cameroon
Population Growth Rate: 2.73%
Out of the 27 million population, 47% of Cameroonians live in poverty and are facing extreme inflation, like the rest of the world. The country's under-five mortality rate is 69.8 per 1,000 births, and when paired with its fertility average of 4.5, no wonder it's on the list of countries with the highest rates of population growth.
14. Guinea
Population Growth Rate: 2.75%
Around 43.7% of Guineans lived below the poverty line in 2018, a trend resulting from a dooming economy and unregulated population increase. Despite having an under-five mortality rate of 98.7, the country's current fertility rate of 4.82 puts its population on an upward scale.
13. Tanzania
Population Growth Rate: 2.75%
According to UNDESA Population Projections of 2022, Tanzania will face a population increase of 378% by 2100 and prove to be the third highest-growing country in the world. 24 million out of the 64 million people in Tanzania are living in extreme poverty, according to recent estimates.
12. Zambia
Population Growth Rate: 2.86%
Zambia's current under-five mortality rate is 57.7, and the country comes at number 19 in terms of fertility rate in 2023. Zambia is one of the African countries with the highest rates of population growth. Also, 47.9% of Zambian people face multidimensional poverty, despite the country's economy improving in recent years.
11. Mali
Population Growth Rate: 2.93%
Mali has the 4th highest fertility rate in the world as of current (5.45 kids per woman, to be precise) and is expected to see a population gain of 297% by 2100.

O, I thought it was this heroine.

You only need to read majority of the comments to see why Nigerians generally deserve to be taxed within and inch of their lives, illegal structures bulldozed from our cities without mercy, militants to be gunned down without being mindful of UN and her sentimental conventions and government to generally do what it sees fit to improve society uninformed by civil society's meddling.

The people don't care for right or wrong so government has leeway to impose strict developments unburdened by Western niceties.

priceactionx:
This site is getting useless daily because of all these trolls. I wish we have better, cleaner version of NL that is engaging like quora or Reddit. We can't enjoy any threads now without tribal war, political trolls, and so on... How I wish seun deploy a means of banning these people i.p and with options of not able to use VPN to register another account or having access to this place , many will really behave but seems he is enjoying it too.
@ the topic, I know it will soon come to this. They always don't believe a black man of African origin with poor health services in quote can come to their land and beat them. They will soon say they see Maggi in her blood and it is a band substance.
N.B: I never saw before she has dodged doping tests 3x. What is she hiding or running for. She should go and face them if she has a clean blood. Why is she raising speculations?

I wonder at what point Niaraland owners will take deep breath, exhale and tell themselves, " yeah, our forum is no longer a force for good in any sense. We have on our hands an anti, Nigeria and Nigeriains propaganda machine. It is doubtful that any part of this forum helps in bettering any aspect of the Nigerian experience. It does not fulfill even the most modest mandate of informing the people because lies and misinformation has overtaken its more influential spaces. We need to make changes"

If true then great. It isn't wise or commendable for Africa nations to rush out and embrace every vaccine program rolled put by the West. The sort of trust Africans have for outsiders is partly why Africans are considered stupid and not because of technology.

So the new one now is that Nigerians are bank rubbers and rapists Abroad. Before, it was Nigerians are drug pushers and pimps. Before that Nigerians were prostitutes and competing with Italian mafias in Italy. Before this, Nigerians were fraudsters and outnumbered every other ethnic group in UK jails.

When will Nigerians wake up and realise that you're being attacked by organised media. Nigeria government need to find a way of finding out and identifying the members of the Troll Houses tarnishing Nigeria on social media. Even if its only one or two of these Troll House members every year, Nigeria should publicise and jail them.

Nigeria government also need to send investigators as well as involve her embassies in getting to the root of all news such as the one about cult members attacking each other in Dubai and making facts public. Fake news takes root and spreads in the dank, dark corners and spaces of government neglection. As things stand now, Nigeria cannot afford to simply ignore even the stupidest news of this type. Don't just let Seychelles, Afghanistan or Bunkumistan write or institute crap about Nigerians because it is easy to do so since we don't investigate and make results of investigations public in order to shame them and Nigeria's enemies. Bleep diplomacy, they're not diplomatic with us!

Nigeria need to see Nigeria and Nigerians as under international smearing attack!

Arresting Putin In South Africa, A Declaration Of War On Our Country - Ramaphosa

If it was Nigeria taking this position , majority of African nations, including South Africans, would be forming friendship with America by publicly advising Nigeria against such rhetoric.

As part of the project for solving growing insecurity in the East, the Nigeria government need to set up a comitee, qwango, group or whatever is relevant and charge it with investigating or monitoring developments whitin and outside the Ambazonia issue as well as Bakassi.

What happened to the Ambazonia struggle?

After she won, broke the world record and had Michael Johnson moaning and hinting she doped, I warned that this would happen. That they will find a way of depriving her of her medal. Some on here are talking of racism but they are only partially right. It is bigotry but specifically targeted at Nigerians because the black world tacitly or indirectly support racism against Nigerians. And Nigerians need to be weary about those that come here trying to get Nigerians to attack one another along Tribal lines. You don't know who anyone is that is online, don't fall for it, even if suddenly many are throwing around ethnic insults ( troll houses do this). Nigerians need to be more aware of current and unfolding world events to the minutest detail.

The white establishment does operate racist socio-political agendas and engineering. There is no set of black people that they like, any set of blacks that they can disadvantage and take out of the game, they will go for it. With Nigerians, they have ready support in the black world ( black crab mentality) , so they will isolate, attack and destroy Nigerians if possible.

Nigeria government need to work with the international organisations in sports, and look specifically at where urine and blood samples are sent for test. Athletics is my favourite sports I watch and keenly listen to the politics. Nigeria authorities need to also concern themselves with these out of competition tests routines.

I know Nigeria Governments, and to some extent people, are generally dismissive of the Greater importance of sports, even football, in the scheme of things. They underestimate it as a driver of National progress in terms of the economy and projection of power. But sports is what I would call social economics. It has massive power to unite and enrich Nations, which is why nations like America, Russia, China and so on pump billions into it.

Question no one asks is whatever happened to the Ambazonia struggle in Cameroon ?

rajiedreez:
Bros if you know the numbers of people the government is sponsoring to go abroad to study you'll know that it's part the government and part the people fault. Most people sent abroad by the government stay back abroad and don no plan to ever come back to benefit the nation. Chinese student most don't even spend a night abroad after graduating from foreign university. They rush back to their country to find something doing

You stole my thunder.

I bet a great deal of those you may see on Youtube discussion channels bad-mouthing Nigeria with their big lips were beneficiaries of government sponsorship.
