Three out of the top 10 most populous countries in
2050 will be in Africa, a new report shows.
Nigeria, currently the seventh most populous
country in the world, will rise to the fourth spot by
2050, the Washington-based Population Reference
Bureau said.


Democratic Republic of Congo and Ethiopia will
replace Russia and Mexico as countries No. 9 and
No. 10.


The report sees many African countries rising in the
ranks throughout the next three decades because
of to high fertility rates and improved life
expectancy. The data show that populations will
more than double in 40, mostly African, countries.
The numbers also show that China, with 1.3 billion
people now, will be leapfrogged by India as the
most populous country in the world by 2022.


The bureau's annual Population Data Sheet sees
the global population ballooning by 2.5 billion to
9.8 billion by 2050.

Is good to make short and long term good policies for the masses that will check mate and prepare our the citizens for that.

The U.S., projected to have 398 million inhabitants by 2050, will just about maintain its position as the third most populous country. Nigeria is expected to be home to 397 million people.

The rise of African countries is not surprising. The bureau's report shows that the 10 countries with the highest fertility rates are currently in Africa. Niger, with 7.6 children per woman, is leading the table. South Sudan, where the average is 6.9 children per woman, comes second, followed by the Democratic Republic of Congo and Somalia tied for third with 6.6 babies per woman. While African countries will boom in terms of population, the situation in some of the world's most developed countries won't be that rosy, mainly due to falling birth rates and aging. Populations in 34 countries are projected to be smaller in 2050 than it now. Japan is projected to see the biggest decline with 30 million fewer people living in the country.

I ain't surprised. If there's one thing Nigerians suck at, its family planning(for married ppl) or protection(for fvckbuddies and gf/bf who av sex)


u see families having 9kids(without even giving space, I myt add)
even though they aren't financially stable to take care of all those kids! the husbands can't keep their dickss INside their pants or at least use protection.
and its mostly the poor ppl dat give birth to billions of kids, while d rich.. highest 5.

I luv kids a lot(kids are blessings). I myt sound harsh now, buh we all know I'm stating d facts! have kids u can train. no child deserves to come into dis world to suffer. nt only does it cause problems for the family, buh also for the country(population increase). go for family planning.





Women who av kids out of wedlock..... in fact I dnt know wat to say to y'all nonsense.

nigeria might not be one country that time.

It is 100% sure that if this country continues as a countryless country it will be definitely broken up.

Thank God our land is fertile just like us, nothing do us.
