Can't believe people believe these numbers. Do they know what it means to get to x5 your population in half a century in 1 country. Without refugee crisis oh. What's the surrounding population of other countries around Nigeria. Not one is even 40m

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

What's the population of Benin and Niger... Why are they not big going by your analysis?

Why is Cameroon population small?

codemaniacs:
Northern Nigeria is a desert that's why your people are southern Nigerian farmers on their farms so that your people can take over the fertile lands in the south.

It's the same reason Bu:hari wanted to force RUGA on southern Nigerians and Tin:ubu might still force it on southern Nigerians.

Lekan239:
do u also think Niger population might be more than this 1980 figure then. Nigeria that still don't have the tools and brain to conduct accurate census in 2023, how will the one of 1980 now be accurate

Marpol:
Our population is inflated! Nigeria is nowhere near 100million not to talk of 200million.

What is our life expentancy rate?
What is our infant mortality rate?

When was the last time we had a good census that was not manipulated. We just bask in the euphoria of Giant of Africa.

my dad had about 4 wives and he was Yoruba.

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..

That's what you get when Yoruba and Hausa people keep breeding like ants just for election purposes. Tufiakwa

Toluwanise247:

The same problem political leaders are having is the same religion leaders are having too… what is the different?

How many Yoruba men have 4wives? Wat am saying is dis. Wen you come to d north u can hardly find 3 men who have 1 wife out of 10.. dis is how bad it is .. u gerit?

SmartPolician:
Tolue42 is very right. Think of a father who earns 50k and has two kids, and a father who earns 50k and has ten kids. Who will take care of his children better? Your guess is as good as mine.

You see, if you want to have massive population, you need plenty of resources to upskill your population and make them productive. If not, you will end up creating abject penury.

As far as I am concerned, Nigeria needs to peg her population now because we don't have enough resources to upskill and maintain our people.

I understand you mate.

Jogs1900:
Chief, all these northern population figures are fake.Maybe we are a little above 100m

maisauki:
Population isn't our problem, it's a great merit we failed to harness for good use
Resources God gave us in Nigeria are more than enough to take care of 500m people
1. Rice from Tudun Wada, Kano; Yobe, Gassol, Taraba; and Niger state is enough
2. Beans from Niger, Dandume and Jibia, Katsina; Illela, Sokoto, and Borno
3. Tomatoes from Danja and environs, tatashe from Pambegwa and environs, rodo from Dutsin Wai, Kaduna and Jega, Kebbi are enough
For tech, picks from LAUTECH and Owerri
For solid minerals, Nasarawa and Kogi
For crude oil, Bayelsa and Rivers
Etc, etc
We are so blessed

Toluwanise247:
Our population is increasing daily and we are not producing 20% of what we are consuming daily…

one of the most geographically diverse and climate diverse country on the planet and the most in west africa (Cameroon is in central (middle) africa) with a massive landmass. 8-9 million babies born annually that will be more than 150 million in 20 years. There is about 30 million Indians living outside the country and they still have 1.4 billion inhabitants. Nigeria is the only country in west africa (16 countries) to have a plateau (Jos Plateau), a continental shelf (Benue Trough), desert (Yobe and Borno states), most varied types of sands (esp. the red and white sand), massifs, monoliths/inselbergs (Wase, Aso, Zuma, Olumo, Idanre, Dala), forests, savannah, caves, creeks, lagoons (10 in Lagos which is also the only place on earth were a populous island is inside it territory), waterfalls, rivers (River Niger which is mostly in the Nigerian territory is the largest in west africa and third largest in africa and then there is River Benue and thousands other rivers), mountains, hills, rocks, cliffs etc. We also had the best weather in the planet 7 months of "super" hot weather and west africa's winter- Harmattan, then 5 months of "insane" wet/rainy weather (even here in Osun amid the rainy season we still get at least 5 days of hotness it so uncomfortable for me after nearly 15 years in Ireland/Europe which have rain like 365/366 days a year 😂). We are also the most culturally diverse country in africa with over 250-400 ethnicities and 500-800 languages even every other Pidgin are now called Nigerian Pidgin (which will eventually become our official language with bits from every languages and fused with Nigerian English). Oh I almost forgot, Ibeno beach which is one of many beaches in the country is the largest beach in west africa. Aba and Kontagora are the the clothing design capitals of africa, highest twin birth rate in the world (igbo-ora is the twin capital of the world), the only country in sub-saharan africa (black africa) with 4 oldest cities (going back 1,000 years; just look at wikipedia every other countries in sub-saharan africa have just 1 or 2) and Ancient Nigeria (Prehistoric Nigeria) began with Nok Civilization which was only in what now Nigeria is over 3,600 years old even the village the Civilization is named after, Nok village still exist in what now Kaduna. The oldest boat in the whole of africa and second oldest on earth was found in Nigeria in Yobe state. We are also the most lax and conservative country on the planet Polygamy, Prostitution (which us an offence like everywhere else even in Ghana isn't here), Street Trading, napepe/okada riders, child marriage, lowest age of consent for sexual intercourse (depending on the state) no crap laws or things like Road tax, Income tax, TV License, Fishing license, generator license, noise disturbance regulation, near zero VAT and many more. Yoruba Nigerians also influence everything in Benin Republic (which is named after Benin City in Nigeria) and Hausa Nigerians influence everything in Niger Republic (also the largest ethnic group there like 53%) making both Nigeria's puppet states- they do everything we say.

Like that music say "This is Nigeria" and that so true. I have always view black african as two race- Nigerian race (all the aboriginal tribes and language in the country) and black africans (Ghanaians, South Africans, Angolans, Kenyans etc.). We Nigerians are so unique in everything it's not even funny (the closest will be Cameroonians- both countries are also the only two in the whole of africa to have won gold in Olympic Football).

God Bless Nigeria, Long Live Nigeria.

Fun fact: Nigeria is the only country in Africa and one of the fewest to have not altered/change its name since 1914 and the only country on wikipedia to have it colonised era named "Colonial Nigeria". What I meant was when Nigeria existed Ghana was Gold Coast, and Ethiopia was Abyssinia etc. (Not even USA have a "Colonial USA" which is just 13 colonies)

Nononsense247:
Population is an issue though... But I still believe with the natural resources we have in this country it should cater for the population... Wetin US get

Largely Unproductive population is the issue

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

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