President Buhari on Monday August 19, expressed fear over Nigeria’s population explosion which he described as "frightening".

The President told the 43-ministers-designate who will assume office tomorrow to work hand-in-hand to find a solution to the worrisome trend.

“By average estimates, our population is close to 200 million today. By 2050, UN (United Nations) estimates show that Nigeria will be third globally, behind only India and China with a projected population of 411 million.

“This is a frightening prospect but only if we sit idly by and expect handouts from so-called development partners. The solution to our problems lies within us" he said.

Buhari also stated that his administration's major focus is on securing the country, improving the economy and anti-corruption.

He added: “None but the most partisan will dispute that we have made headway in all three areas. First, we have rolled back the frontiers of terrorism; we are actively addressing other challenges such as kidnappings, farmer-herder violence, improving the safety of our roads, railways, air traffic and fire control capacities.

“Second, we are steadily turning the economy round through investment in agriculture and manufacturing, shoring up our foreign reserves, curbing inflation and improving the country’s infrastructure.

“Third, we have recovered hundreds of billions of stolen assets and are actively pursuing control measures to tackle leakages in public resources. We will not let up in fighting corruption.’’

On point.

There should be birth control b4 this population explosion get out of control.

Still wondering how athifku with 3 wives and countless children would have been able to preach this.

That's my able president.

If not for the haters who are yet to recover from their losses, there's no doubt that Buhari has been effective than any President in the past.

It's only unfortunate that those sore losers have the highest presence on the Internet, hence, poisoning the minds of the weak minded ignoramus.

Buhari my man
This man is a nightmare to millions of Nigerian people
Haters come and spew ur trash...

Yet,Amaka wants to have six children.....you be fowl?

think outside the box the answer is very close

D population explosion is not helped by d mostly illiterate north who believe dat marrying more than 2 wives and fathering children dey can't take care of is normal

When did I tell you I was frightened??

When my fellow aboki still dey dig underage kids púcci in za oza zoom?

Tell your people to stop breeding like rabbits.

Why should a girl get married at 14 and before she's 40 years old she would have had 12 children for herself?


Nigeria would have been a better place if these future terrorists are exposed to education.

The Almajiri Northerners are the cause, dey born anyhow like fowl

When people are bored and poor, they make pickins........

Aboki president

Nor be una for north dey cause am.
So that una go fit dey elect yeye northerners like you


Mtcheewe

Explosive population with high level of poverty and insecurity



Useless government.

How many children does Mr president have? If 50million Nigerians decide to have the same number of children, for instance like Mr President, the population of this country will explode. The blame is not only with poor people. Some "big men" also do the same thing. Polygamy is the first reason for an explosive population.

The irony of that statement when the Mr. President is from the north where they derive joy in their population and ability to "raise" communities and villages.

president wey mumu

because of too much baby factories in the Eastern region Nigeria's population will surpass China

Directly attributed to the Almajiri poverty system

It took him more than four years to finally realise that.
And still his govt. has not developed any game plan to check the population growth.

Clueless indeed.

And you born 7. 6 of them daughters. Sai baba, you no try ooo. Anyways talk to your brothers that turn their wives into baby makers and at the end the children become almajiri. Total nuisances.

Just imagine what this man who married a minor and impregnated her is saying

Warn your brothers now

Talk to your brothers up north, and partially people from the SW.
