How in the hell are they going to get fed? Granted, some Nigerians Love to talk on Nigeria being the most populace state. With population comes ISSUES!!! I see a calamity. Hell its already difficult. If they government does not step in and administer birth control. Nigeria will team with disease, famine, poverty, crime and destruction. ***************** Look at Ethiopia, China, India and any country with too much population. They basically starve. |

Poverty won't let it get to that number. People wey dey die plenty pass people wey dem dey born na. I see naija population actually decreasing after 2015. Have u noticed that most families in naija now have 2 or 3 kids max. Back in the dayz they used to harbour football teams. 1 Like |

I wonder where the poster got the estimates from? However, If we take that number serious, the ineptitude of our present leaders and the green eyed future leaders(student union leaders); the nation and its neighbours would have to absorb the teeming hungry populace Nigeria would produce in 2040. The fear is that the continued disregard for industrialising our economy by the buffoons importing generators and refined petroleum products would actually lead to an even bigger chaos long before 2040. |

I doubt it would happen considering how low life-expectancy rate. Nigerians are dying off at the rate people are popping off kids they can't take care of. There would be a slight increase but not huge. The number of unemployed youth in sub-saharran africa is a big issue though. A contracting economy won't help that |

I was being stingy with the number. Here it is projected to reach 338 MILLION!!! http://www.uni.edu/gai/Nigeria/Background/Standard9.html High fertility: Population is growing fastest in the poorest countries, those least able to provide for basic needs and create opportunities. Within countries, the poorest families also tend to be the largest ones, but poverty of choices may be as important as poverty of means in determining family size. The people and countries most affected are concentrated in Africa and South Asia, but there are some in every developing region. The fastest-growing regions of the world are sub-Saharan Africa, parts of South Asia and West Asia. Their share of the global population has been increasing steadily for 40 years. These regions are joining other regions in becoming predominantly urban. There is no sign of a global ‘birth dearth’. Low fertility: At the same time, 61 countries are seeing fertility at or below replacement level, and their populations could decline over the long term. As fertility falls in more countries, this phenomenon could affect countries with as many as two thirds of the world’s people. There is no sign of a global "birth dearth", however: births will continue at over 100 million a year for the next 50 years. Deaths will rise during this period as populations become increasingly older. This slow demographic change calls for policy choices: there will be implications for the structure of health care, pensions and social security, and for family relationships and inter-generational responsibility. Low-fertility countries will look to active older people and immigrants to supply some needed services and contribute to the economy. One apparent choice, higher birth rates and larger families, is not open to low-fertility countries. No country in history has ever succeeded in raising birth rates over a long period once they have started to decline. http://www.unfpa.org/swp/1999/chapter1c.htm#Demographic%20Trends |
