Nigeria Projected To Be 4th Most Populated Country By 2050 by boman2014: 6:16pm On Aug 19, 2015 |
[center]According to a survey by the Population Reference Bureau in Washington USA, Nigeria is projected to be the 4th most populated country by 2050.[/center] http://money.cnn.com/2015/08/18/news/countries-with-biggest-populations/ 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.

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 ![]() 1 Like |

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. |
