The population has doubled in size since 1991.

If you wish to see 'meaningful improvement' in the lives of the people then it the economy would need to grow at a much faster rate than the that of the population.

Either you slow down the population rate so that more can be spent on those of us who are currently here or you ramp up economic development. Ideally, a responsible government would do both.

mrvitalis:
Nigeria is actually growing but many fail to see it because they forget the good things and fucus on the bad ones

Just look back and u will appreciate were we are today

God bless Nigeria

codemaniacs:
Yorubas are growing. If yoruba leaders/politicians had sense they would have strictly controlled and reduced migration into the SW especially Lagos.

salabscholar01:

dason4life:
Eko Oni Baje O!!!

Meanwhile, those who didn't see any growth are the ones who are yet
to cross the Niger Bridge.

Like the posters above and below me

Typical Yoruboid brain.

So you have realized that the stupidity of your fellow clan shouting for the creation
of Biafra destroyed your past heritage and left you with shambles?

Ariani:
Onitsha is even better today and can only grow better as it fuses with Asaba.

I agree with you 99.9% but my friend, na government dey impregnate all the women out there? Nigerians should please leave government alone and take responsibility for their actions and their lives. Please note that Nigeria has a fixed geographical size and can not continue to increase population because they can proportionally increase economic growth (which has been a mirage so far anyway)

Government isn't getting people pregnant and I often wonder about the sanity of the people who continue to procreate whilst crying about hardship.

But governments can create incentives for couples who have smaller families and undergo anti-fertility treatment (such as vasectomies).

Also, something has to be done about the religious groups who encourage reckless breeding habits and tell people not to use contraceptives/birth control. Such people should be recognised as enemies of progress.
