Nigeria leads the world in terms of population growth rate. We are driving the increase in the number of people on the planet more than any other country in terms of percentage growth rate.

Our research (see table below from Internetworldstats) shows that of all the top 10 countries in the world with the highest population, Nigeria has the highest growth rate of 58% between years 2000-2018 which is quite astonishing.



A similar study by the Spectator Index gives Nigeria a higher score when it comes to population growth over the last 20 years.

Population growth, past twenty years.

Country Population Growth Rate in the last 20 Years

Nigeria 72%
Saudi Arabia 69%
Egypt 55%
Pakistan 54%
India 34%
Indonesia 31%
South Africa 31%
Turkey 29%
Mexico 26%
Canada 22%
United States 18%
UK 13%
China 12%
France 11%
South Korea 11%

This shows 2 things primarily:

1. Nigerians are prolific when it comes to sex and,

2. Family planning is not something most Nigerians care about.

While countries like Poland, Japan and Germany seem on the other end of the spectrum of population growth rate over the last 2 decades, with -2%, 0% and 1% respectively, they are faring better with less social upheaval and higher standards of living compared to Nigeria.

A lot of our problems relating to poverty and underdevelopment can be traced to poor planning and population control. There is little improvement in infrastructure, health and education to meet the increasing population. Already, Nigeria’s middle belt is a battleground between herdsmen and farmers clashing over scarce fertile land and water.

Nigeria’s huge population can be an asset but it takes proper control and planning to make this happen. Uncontrolled population growth portends a bleak future if nothing is done now.

Like this Twitter user asked: “Nigerians, what’s the rush?”

This population growth rate gives my goosebump everytime. Our population is just growing uncontrollably, the last time I checked, 44% of Nigerians are less than 15years and more than 50% are less than 20years, making more than half of d population unproductive, infact more than half d populace are leeches.

The north is d region with high level of procreation n I think they should encourage education for d girl-child (infact, education for all) and they should discourage child-bride without religious sentiments.

This is what their leaders ought to do but.......

This post is funny.

You are right though, our population growth rate is incredible.

Oboi, hmmmm

Nigeria always comes first in things that would not benefit it's populace. Check my signature

Population of which 60% are lazy youth.

Lazy Nigerian Youth why breed like rats? [center][/center]

Smh..

Rare picture of Future Lazy Nigerian Yoots rushing to come and jam hardship

If the resources we have are judiciously managed from time past, the population is not even as bad as being stated.

Lol

Stand up for the Champion, Na for all these kind of matter Nigeria dey carry first. No wonder they want us to legalize same sex marriage. Their plan will not work.

Funny considering how hypocritical Nigerians are when it comes to issues about sex and the likes.

I'm waiting to see the government that'd have 'liver' to enforce mandatory birth control. Just try to imagine the negative things Nigerians would say about them. Being a leader in a country like Nigeria is an unpleasant job. Any change that'll come in this country has to come from the people first- a complete overhaul of our mindsets and rewiring of the average Nigerian's brain to think progressively.

Maybe a benevolent dictator would work.

Buhari and his Fulani Henchmen still have a lot of killings to do, to reduce our population to a comfortable level.

Femi Adesina would be there to happily keep the statistics.

One of the characteristics of a shithole country

Kudos to the North

Point of order "NORTHERN NIGERIA"

Thank You.

Population growth is a two hedge sword. It can either be a blessing or a curse. I guess you now know where Nigeria falls in?

So what's the essence of high population growth without a corresponding Increase in per capita income, decreased cost of leaving and rise in leaving standard.

Nigeria's population is just growing aimlessly.

Fuckerstanistan, which country is that?

Ignorance and sex caused it

we too dey f.ck for this country

and if you check the GDP in the last 20yrs, I am not sure it has done 100%.

When you are giving birth faster than you are making money, how will you succeed?

Nigeria GDP rate isn't moving as the population rate, because we always wan f.ck.

Na villages I tire pass..... As for me......

i visited a pry school (name withheld) and was shocked !!!!
134 PUPILS IN A CLASS.
i rest my case
make una continue to born up and down, after una go blame government

Which kain Nation be dis??

Population growth can be turned into wealth if only we have creative leaders. China is a reference point.

Rabbit and Pigs come to mind, nah dem

And I’ve not seen any girl to nack this year chai
