Nigeria's Overpopulation Problem

@@Churros1616 I wouldn’t do the one child policy, that’s gonna lead to boko haram going crazy mad and it’s gonna give their “the west is corrupting us” rhetoric more power, plus Nigerians have a preference for sons like the Chinese did, so it could create a male female disparity.

Additional context for the apparent overpopulation problem in Nigeria: The CENSUS numbers are actually very questionable, (ie:inflated). Local/State governments are actually incentivized to fudge the census numbers and inflate them, so as to get a larger portion of resources from the federal allocation. In other words, the more people in your locale, the more resources you can claim from the federal government. So there is naturally and incentive to lie. Corruption is a plague at all levels of government.

It's not only Nigeria that has a ridiculous population growth, there are a lot more African countries with an insane population growth. And my biggest fear is that (in particular) young male population from those regions want to come to Europe or North America as economic migrants. It's frightening! On a more general note, why can't people be content with 2 or 3 children? Can't you at some point just say "Thank you Lord for what you have given me, it's enough, I am content"? And then provide your kids with a future?

Bangladesh has shown what can be done when women are offered contraception in a form that they can use.

It will have the worlds highest median age the population will largely be similar to its current racial makeup of mostly mestizo/european background Europe (including Russia) 630 million about 85% will be european white and 15% being of Arab/Indian background, however it is important to note that due to global warming Serbia may become further inhabited and with several trillion dollars of natural resources a population spike in Russia is a conceivable possibility, also right wing nationalism is growing which could add or decrease to west Europe’s population trend. Asia 4.7 billion about a billion of whom will be Arab. China will shrink to about 1 billion and India will become the most populated country in Asia, japan is expected to shrink (just to add I know Arabs are technically Asian but I’m just trying to be distinct) Africa 4.4 billion (about another billion will be Arab North Africans) Africa will be (in my opinion) the worst off continent, country’s like Egypt which already deal water sacristy will likely double or even triple its current size from 100 million to 400 million.... for comparison the United States is about 10 TIMES the size of Egypt.

Population growth usually corrects itself as a nation developed human capital and the populace becomes more educated, and the economy develops(developed economies actually have the opposite problem, their citizens aren't making babies fast enough), problem is, Nigeria doesn't seem to be interested in actually pursuing a coherent development strategy. So it may go on for the whole century!

[@richlikedieter]

as a nigerian American, hard to see a bright future for nigeria and not Venezuela but on scale x10 with falling crop yields due to climate change and Increasing population, creating a malthusian problem, falling oil revenue which is 40+% of a already compromised government, increasing ethnic tensions, and virtually no infrastructure to support a exponentially growing large population without any of human capital benefits of China, United States, or even india. It might be in the best interests of the country to pursue a premature balkanization, nigeria was never meant to be a country and it's showing itself in the rentier semi failed state(without any of the benefits of rentier states, like the Arab gulf states!). Disappointing, because nigeria could industrialize quickly, with a large domestic market and lots of smart people. Just hope I can get my relatives out of there before it becomes hell on earth...

This is the problem of over population. If a country can't provide the sufficient services and resources needed for their rapidly growing population, it's not just going to cause a strain on local resources such as food and water, infrastructures like housing, and proper services like health, education, and security, but also employment. Like what was mentioned in the video, if people can't find work and turn into desperation, they can be easy targets for recruitment by extremists can cause more internal problems, which can lead to external problems too, like regional disputes and wars, and mass migration to other countries. This then results to political instability and the draining of resources of those countries affected by the mass migration/immigration as well. It's just not a good outcome overall and their governments need to do something about this...but we all know change is probably going to be close to impossible, or will be slow like a glacial pace.

In regards to immigration & migration there are systemic issues in many places in Africa in part due to Europe over the centuries such as the Berlin Conference of 1884. For long term migration issues the world bank, world health organization, and United Nations activity take many measures to address and reduce migration which has positive effects. And you should not be so biased against Africans, as Europe isn’t the top world power albeit influential.
