A resounding YES. In 1980 when our population was around 60million, we were producing our own food, clothes, shoes, fuel and even cars. We did not need to import much items from abroad. That was why N1 was equal to $2 then, because no one needed dollars to import anything. But today, we cannot even produce enough food to feed ourselves, we need dollars to import paper, toothpick, rice and petrol.

Productivity is not measured by the nonsense you are saying

It is measured in GDP per capita period


How old are you?

Ever heard of a guy called Umaru Dikko ?
Nigeria's minister of rice importation?
Nigeria was always dependent on food and other imports since the oil boom
Especially rice to the extent that that was Dikko s main function

In 1983we ran into crisis because of oil price crash
Buhari took over and. Nigerians were queuing to buy Omo,Rice,soap and other so called
Essential commodities
Soldiers were breaking warehouses and taking people's goods to auction.

Jogs1900:

Chief, all these northern population figures are fake.Maybe we are a little above 100m

How did you derive your conclusion. My bro works with cencus board. I want to counter your claims.

Engage me in a civil manner.

LeeSantos:
200million is even an estimate and not the actual number. The next population count should be over 300million already

Facts

Only ignorant people who dont travel will think nigeria is not upto 100 million.

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

You are just spilling ignorance all over the place.

You using the % of people with cars and number of gradute?

How about you consider and %of nigerians that can afford a car or go higher institution

Childfree:


Yeah that's what define my life.
Based on experience I am telling you it is not a good life.

Tell me how is living in a slump, no access to good health care, lack of money to pay for things like school, food... A good life.

Tell me how the poor have a better stay around the planet than the rich as you claimed?

ok because they're poor, they should kill themselves right? No matter how terrible they're badly treated, they still find means to survive, isn't that wonderful? Poor people will leave in an open unsecure area yet fear no insecurity, rich man will put bullet proof doors with highly security gate, yet afraid of been killed or kidnapped, these same Rich are leaving on blood and destiny of the poor in our environment

tolue42:



I'm sorry to refer to our parents in the 70s, are they no living better than us now??

Let me bring back history to you.
Before Nigeria dam river Niger to generate electricity, some other African countries wanted to dam thesame water for electricity( which means we won't be getting more water to dam), but because of our location, there was agreement between ECOWAS that Nigeria should be the country dam the water.

The agreement was Nigeria should start supplying electricity to those countries at a cheaper rate, quotas was reached , but Nigeria population started exploding, hence we started have few electricity supply per day, but other countries like Togo, bennin are still enjoying today

Living better how?

Sir I want to be respectful to you
But you do not appear to have the intellectual capacity for this issue
What is the relevance of damming a river? Is Kainji Dam the biggest power plant in Nigeria?
No it is not

You just declare any idea that enters your head as reality?
So Nigeria has a problem with electricity because of population?
I disagree
No the biggest electricity plant in Nigeria is in Lagos state built by Shagari
Mrs would have been built but for Military intervention
Military rule under Buhari,Babangida and Abacha is what held us back for nearly twenty years

They did not build any rail or refinery,failed to maintain what refinery we had, ,stole billions of dollars and wasted money on the unproductive construction of Abuja

So the issue is not about unproductive population but bad and visionless military regimes holding us back

Our problem has been bad government not unproductive population

mrvitalis:

Niger men marry for wife's, same with Chad, same with mali, Senegal, and so many African nations what's their population?
35% of Germans have degree can't find the value for Nigeria

Literacy rate in Nigeria is 77% German is 99%

So what's your point? None of this can give u estimate of our population

Haha
I am from the north.

I have been to chad and guess what, they dont marry more than 2 wives. The two sef is very hard.

Thier tradtion there makes it very expnsive for s person to marry. Some of my chadian friends that came to nigeria were shockee by how it is very easy for a young guy who isnt finacially stable to marry in nigeria.

Okay..Just open the link and let me know your conclusion...Btw, I live in the north.

SHiNJA4RMDWEST:
Most of the settlers in the north are not from Nigeria...

Most of them are from neighbouring countries like Chad, Niger....

Lets say i agree. They still give birth like dogs and will still be counted as Nigerians coz they are in a location called nigeria..

There are so many immigrants from other countries claiming Nigeria. We have to fish them out.

Nigeria is not up to 200m, should between 130m-150m. All available data from BVN to NIN and the rest is pointing to it

I'm out of here,it's obvious you don't want to be reasonable..

Jogs1900:

Do you think Nigeria population is up to 200m?

more than 200 million, only Lagos, kano Kaduna, Katsina,oyo will give you 50 million

Even if 1 percent it's a start to extrapolate from

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?

Stop deceiving yourself by pulling US to compare to Nigeria when it comes to Manpower. Manpower with no basic education is tantamount to Economic terrorists.
Our population is not strength if we are not building technologies, companies and advance education to bring out the best from our population.
We are just an harvesting ground for the West to pull the best for their upgrade.
I hate hearing Nigeria population is a strength. What about Bangladesh. Don't they have population like Ours? Compare to China or India. Population isn't helping us.

Get out and stop confusing yours there by disgracing your family.
From your lineage, how much is your population?
Is that the way birthing is controlled? Did your family have proper birth controlling method? No be say poor ones plenty pass?

Just stop it. Must every thread be turned to a tribalistic battleground

We knack carelessly

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..

You can say that again...no population control in Nigeria

People just dey born low quality population anyhow for our side mainly urged by both religions to outpopulate the others.

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

it's in our culture.
Someone who isn't married is considered unsuccessful.
Someone who has one child is unsuccessful or called barren

We count both humans n animals especially cows thanks to Buhari

Yes it us part of it.
Too many unproductive brains in our society

Nigerians like sex like there is no tomorrow.
And many Nigerians don't have safe sex.

We need a birth control policy.

Reading the comments section, i see people have forgotten about Economics learnt in the past. The problem isnt entirely the population increase or growth but the population growth growing at a faster rate than the economic growth.

Ask yourselves what drives an economic growth?
