... but the land mass of the US and China is far bigger than Nigeria.

uvie66:
my own family have on average there children, how many is yours ?

Tunechi5:
honestly ,dont think population is our problem ,what nigeria needs is a good leader, more population more manpower, US is prime example ,other than population what do they have?

lexy2014:


How is population Nigeria's biggest problem?

Is Nigeria the most populous country in d world?

Johans2023:
Nigeria problem is greediness not population.
One Nigerian will use 50 billion naira to build a house,he is not staying in the house nor rent it out. He only put one Baba to be guiding the house for 10k salary. Imagine how many people you will employ if you invest that 50 billion in a particular business.
Some idiots have houses in every state of this country and it not rented imagine if you use that money for business.
One person is stealing over 200 billions from a government agency. For Christ sake how will that agency survive.
I know of a governor that has more than 200 cars and he is not using those cars for business.
One person in Lagos is collecting more than 50% of Lagos revenue since 1999 while Lagos is having more than 15 million people.
Only one man use 2 two bullion vans to convey money to buy votes. For Christ sake what else if not greediness and corruption.

Counter me with facts na I hate this baseless argument

I hand given you reasons behind my point counter them if u wish

When I tell people that population is one of our biggest problem, people will be looking for excuses


In 1960 Nigeria population was 45million, that same year UK population was 52 million

2023 Nigeria population is above 220 million , that same UK is just above 65 million..

How are we going to live a better life when we are not even productive like the UK..

mrvitalis:

We are still a young family
Don't even know how to measure it but that's not a every quantifiable method to record

U take a well defined quantity we can measure that's finte

Like percentage of Nigerians that drive a car
Or number of graduates... The guess their percentage and extrapolate

uvie66:
all I am is please look around you, how many children do your siblings each have, if you are a young family then how many children do Father, Uncles, and aunties have ?

Padipadi:

The fact you needed can be easily obtained by the literacy level of Nigeria to Germany and UK.
Also, in Nigeria, the general practice of polygamy aids high birth rate. Some religion even permit men to marry like 4 wives.
Polygamy is almost non existing in Germany and UK.
It's common sense and simple maths.

that whole population thing is a lie. It's not humanly possible for 45 million to become 200 million in 60 years

I thought about this One and decided that at some Stage Africans will re Green the Sahara desert and resettle it

The Technology and Science to do so is available

China is doing it

aremubabs:




Do you have proof that one man earns 50% of Lagos revenue?



The only thing I agree with you about is that of excess greed and selfishness.




In South Africa, if a community has a billionaire, you will feel his impact on that community even if he doesn't live there all the time. Community service is prioritized there.




But in Nigeria, you might see a muddy road leading to a community which has two or more billionaires. For example, the road leading to Peter Obi's village.




We have more billionaires than any other African countries, but our billionaires are only concerned about their own family, and the ones who are showing concern for their community members or kinsmen are those preparing to go into politics.





But all this does not mean that population is not also a major problem. Because we don't produce much, we are unable to sufficiently feed our teeming population. Demand is way higher than food supply, and this creates demand-pull inflation.




Also because we import far more than we export, factoring in raw material and import cost into our goods, we create cost-pull inflation for ourselves.




We also don't gave good managers of resources like we had in the person of Obafemi Awolowo who saw to it that Nigeria fought the Biafran war for 30 months without borrowing a single penny.

slam7000:


You are either naive or deliberately lying to yourself.

Tell this to Matawalle, Doguwa, Yari etc 3 men alone with more than 100 children 😳.

RenaissanceGuy:
US doesn't have anything aside population?? US that's the centre of world's technology and manufacturing has nothing??

sukkot:
it is mathematically impossible. Let's say each year one million babies are born but also death in those years is half a million . Still does not exceed 90. Million. These overbloated numbers is used by politicians for resource allocation corruption. Once you go outside of Lagos is when you realise Nigeria is underpopulated . It's just that a quarter of the population of Nigeria ran to Lagos . Go to all the villages you can walk 10 miles without seeing a single person

You will re-green the Sahara desert and settle there!!! Interesting.

Maybe you don't know that the Sahara desert is inside the boundaries of other countries. You will explode your population in Nigeria and then transfer them to Algeria?

mrvitalis:
Anyone who believes Nigeria is anything above 100 million is joking

I laugh at them saying Lagos is 20 million

Lagos that 40% is still untouched bushes? Before going argue use Google Earth don't come and disgrace yourself here

95% of Lagos population live at the center... East is bush, West is bush

Nigeria population is maximum 100 million

helinues:
How poor men dey get erection na something I still never understand.

juman:
Big population is good. Look at china.

We just need to make use of the population.
Government can raise almost all needed money from taxes.

If the government can engage millions in agric jobs, agriculture can generate more money than oil.
