Nigeria's population is about 170 million people and it's projected to increase to about 200 million in a couple of years, and then 250 million and continuously rising. The sad thing is that the economy is not improving proportionally to accommodate the rise in population. Wouldn't it be a disaster if the population rises and the resources isn't there to Carter for them all? As it stands at the moment there is too much pressure exerted on the available poor infrastructures by the current population especially in places like Lagos. Then what should we expect when the population increases? A lot of people are currently going hungry in the country and resorting to desperate measures to survive, which includes both legal and illegal means. If the population increases unchecked while the economy shows little or no growth the number of hungry and desperate mouths to feed will multiply as well, which will increase the number of people resorting to crime to make a living for themselves. This is going to be chaotic.

Shouldn't we be worried about a situation like this?

Of course we should. An here we have a foolish rep member from d north saying its immoral for d govt. to put a control on birthrate, that God will provide. I can't believe I'm in same country with some of these very dumbfvck politicians.....
Smh

The rate of ritual killings ongoing is alarming all in an effort to survive Buhari regime. The rate which people are visiting babalawo and pastors to device spiritual means to stay afloat is at epic proportions. Nigerians deserve Buhari. I stand with the people's general GMB.

Isn't your comment off topic?

I think the youths of this nation needs to wake up. These old men in power will soon be in their graves leaving the youths behind to suffer the future consequences of their misrule.

Perhaps, the ritual killings is helping balance the rising population?

Lol. Ritual killing will have no significant impact to tame down the dangerously rising population. For each person killed, 5 more people will replace.

I thought I was the only person seeing it o. Nigeria is seriously over populated o. I heard it might get to one billion by 2050.

Nigeria is not overpopulated, but the issue is those breeding poverty, giving birth to what they can clearly not take care of. Oga has 2 kids, driver has 9 kids. Those 9 kids are shortchanged nutritionally, educationally, emotionally, and you wonder why there won't be problem soon enough.
