#Nigeria #Overpopulation
A large population isnt advantageous if the nation with it can’t provide a basic standard of living for it.
I've been saying this I wish I could live in my country and have basic amenities
The same thing happened in China and is still happening in India. Maybe Nigeria also needs a one child policy. It creates a generation who are raised by two incomes in stead of several children by one because the other has to stay home
@@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. It’s not an easy solution, family planning, secular education, and infrastructure so that it can reach all Nigerians and break the monopoly on radical religious education that a lot of local rural villages have.
@Alaskan bull worm what you said is completely bullshit. if the country can't take care of its population,it should take action to curb it.
@@springcoco4896 that’s what I said, I just don’t believe that an authoritarian 1 child policy is the way to do it. The expansion of education and urbanization naturally ends up leading to lower birth rates.
So every generation in Nigeria for the past 100 years are considered “Boomers”
Yeah 100 years of boomers. That’s nuts
Fr lmao
There is no boomers in africa, they're called elders
@@lisavauhti7675 it’s called no condoms and birth control
@@anilpersaud3808 you thought you ate... like where is the correlation
Poor countries: babies born every millisecond
Rich countries: babies born every millennium
That plus the fact that so many of those coy tries have populations that are prolife and take advantage of the fertility of their women. As opposed to more "developed" countries where their folks would prefer to plant seeds in feces yet expect something productive to grow out of same.
Poor countries made poor by so called rich countries through theft of natural resources
Poor countries: have many resources
Rich countries: steal them and genocide
What is poor and rich when money is made out of thin air and central banks can just print as much of it as they want. Why is the richest country in the world the USA also the country with the most debt in the world something isnt adding up.
The rich countries are the ones where not many people are born especially here in singapore
Nigeria's future is gonna be very dark if the government keep relying on oils they need more diversification of economy in order to overcome the population problem
Literally lol
Nigeria has the highest quality oil its now better to learn from the past colinizers to catch up on the oil technolagy
Sorry, that’s not gonna happen since the government is corrupt.
They could ask China to help with their development by giving technical aid and financial assistance. Perhaps China will be less predatory than the West and once they have the basic infrastructure and services in place they could then go on to develop themselves independently, especially if such infrastructure projects were simultaneously implemented in neighbouring countries.
@@view1st they dont need help from china they already got help from there colony
Legend has it that the concept of PULLING OUT doesn't exist in any of the languages spoken in Nigeria.

“100 year population predictions are science fiction”.
Thank you! the only thing worse than seeing people predicting fertility rates 70 years ahead is seeing people posting graphs about population in the year 2200 or even 3000.
Scientific predictions regarding populations are at a maximum only scientifically accurate up to 5 years. This is for animal populations though, so maybe it's different for how human populations are calculated
That is why it's a prediction and not a fact.
That's why our predictions end in 2100
Large population booms, calculating in poor living conditions, means more likely to get hi by devastating epidemics.,.

@@viorele1264 noo in as much as I don't blame the Europeans for all our problems , Europe looted Africa for 500 years and you Don't recover from that. In his Book ,how Europe underdeveloped Africa Prof Walter Rodney notes that early visitors to Dahomey and Benin compared it to Amsterdam and one of them goes as far as saying that Africans were in no way inferior to Europeans, but then the looting began they carried off our young productive population to work them to death as slaves in foreign lands and made huge profits which were then invested in science and industry in order to try and increase their margins , and so the Rift began
@@Avaricumstudios The fact that they were able to colonise you so easily, and so emphatically, before even taking any of your resources, says a lot about your pathetic ability to prevent them from doing so.

@@clutchnixon1764 you got to be one of the most stupid people in this earth , if they were able to colonise us so Easily why isn't Africa like the Americas ?
Nigeria must split. I’m from the south, I have no cultural or ethnic relationship with the north and have never been there. The only commonality is that we were both colonised by the British. We were two separate colonies for a reason.

@@tmd-w1552 First of all being “black” is a social construct. Race has no scientific basis. The only similarity we have is that we share the same geographic location. Being black African does not create unity, it’s having similar cultural/ethnic ideals which creates unity and the north and south clearly do not have that. You cannot get along when there is a direct clash between the two places. All of the south believes in secularism while 11 states in the north still implement sharia law. Like I said, the only reason the north and south are together is because they both shared the same coloniser, otherwise there is nothing that unites them!

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.
No IE more people not less.
That's a fair point and an important additional information. My countries census are also wrong, we count less because of covid (people got stranded outside the territory and didn't answer it). Also, politicians made sure to be less so they would count less people in need of help in pandemic and in the near future with the econonic crisis.
Exactly. The true population of Nigeria could be around 100m
@@omoba3000 That's too low to be true. How can the govt lie that much?
If your entire economy is based on exploitation and stealing resources from poor countries I am sure you would get very concerned when those so called poor countries start growing economically. As Paul Kagame once said. "Africa is not Poor, Its the Africans that are poor." That is what this whole disinformation video is all about. Its not that these thief's give a rats ass about Africa. They are worried that they will no longer have a place to steal from.
ah, demographics... The single most important metric of any country :)
Don't worry .. they can just export thier excess population to the EU. No problem at all. They need all those highly educated tax paying doctors , engineers and scientists.
@V O they are Indians
Attaining a bachelors or masters degree is not the measure of success. Innovation and work ethic is. Let’s not confuse the reality. Nigeria is in trouble because their innovators don’t want to live there. They come to the USA or EU. That is why the economic and social structure in countries like Nigeria fail. Unsustainable population growth is not good for a society
Send the Nigerians to China. China was also afraid of a baby boom. In 1987 : 24 million babies
2020: 12 million babies
1 generation later: 8 million babies?
Nowadays China regrets their child restricting policies every day.
@@nielsqbc4 don't be stupid.... this is a disaster.
I read in a biology book years ago that Nigeria had the highest rate of naturally occurring twins in the world. That could be a factor in why the birth rate is so high.
No. Negligible factor.
Yoruba tribe in Nigeria are the ones who have the highest. Rate of twins in the world
@@authorizedgee9103 yeah both of my mom's sister's have twins
It is not the reason. The birth rate is more than 5.
Nigerians who have plenty children are not those with the highest twin births, the ones with highest twin births are the Yorubas, the one with the multitude of children are Northerners like Hausa. So you are saying nothing.
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. (condoms aren't it) Bangladesh is a very poor Muslim country, with no social security to speak of, yet the Bangladeshis have reduced their fertility to replacement level very quickly because the women asked for contraception and were given it.
I'm a South African there's a growing movement down here of people not wanting children
Southern and northern Africans are having fewer kids. We're in a worse of position because we're more accessible than Europe and if we complain we will be called xenophobic. Birthrates in Namibia, South Africa and Botswana are around 2.2 - 2.4 while certain immigrant groups have sky-high birthrates.
Whats scarier is the thought of civil war in overpopulated countries. What would happen if Nigeria ever has a civil war, with a population that big, the number of refugees would cripple many African countries.

You know they mean Western Europe. Its just a generalization.

The smart, and often richer, young people immigrate to other countries right after getting university credentials.
Tens of thousands of professionals and newly educated along with their families are moving permanently to countries like the US, Canada, and Australia every single year just when their country needs them the most. It’s the same problem facing places like India and the Philippines. On the one hand it’s bad for the country who spent the money and resources educating these people only to have them move elsewhere as soon as they’re educated and at their prime but on the other hand it’s highly beneficial to the destination countries receiving these migrants. You can’t really blame them for seeking a better life for themselves and their family though, I know that it’s exactly what I would do if I were in their position.

The EU keeps a close eye on migration through the Sahara and has focused on its relations with Niger, Mali, and other transit countries. As long as this burgeoning population stays below the Sahara desert it is not a concern to Europe. The people of Nigeria will figure it out at some point and get their act together.
@Jaden Lee-Chin Sounds great. African Union should indeed focus on mutually beneficial trade between African countries and avoid getting into predatory trade deals with Europe and especially China. That said moving these countries forward requires earning hard currency for investment in infrastructure and technology. What doesn’t require much hard currency is investments in education and health. This would go a long way towards addressing the overpopulation problem. Unfortunately Nigeria seems to be a deeply corrupt country where everyone is out for themselves.
@Jaden Lee-Chin I would agree that perhaps the “image” of African nations held by people in the US and Europe might be outdated. Africans have made a lot of progress and I am often impressed when I hear interviews with people in Ghana or Nigeria for example. That said the basic indicators such as literacy, infant mortality, and TFR are not good. There is really no way to sugarcoat those numbers. Nigeria has a long way to go for it to be considered a decent place to live and progressing. We are seeing a lot more progress in East Africa. Kenya, Rwanda for example.
It's a major concern for Europe - millions have moved there.
Nigerians won't figure it out whilst religion has such a told on them, telling them to have loads of kids they can't afford.
@@davidz2562 send them back and don’t let anymore in
One thing about being part of Europe as a finn is that in the east there are sweden, in the north Norway and in the east Russia. No flood of immigrants coming this way because the EU law says that everyone seeking asylum have to stay in the first EU country they reach. Norway is not part of EU but i can't imagine Africans who travel hundreds kilometers above north pole to come here. Still we have to take them according to EU standards but it is good that it is few thousands. Maybe that is why Finland is the happiest country in the world?
As long as they stay in Nigeria then it’s their problem but unfortunately they’re spreading
How is it a problem? It benefits the Nigerians since they get better quality of life in other countries but also it helps developed nations with demographic issues.
It doesn't, since most of the people who come to Europe are (more often than not) uneducated so they cant really work the more servie orianted jobs. They are also illegals so the state doesn't even know who/where they are.

@Nova Flares not really, that is the problem. 19th century practice in 21th century. In the past many children die, so the population didn't grow as much but in countries like Nigeria, many children survive thru 21th century means.
I don't get when Europeans say that Africa is overpopulated. Nigeria is as large as Germany, United Kingdom, Italy, and the Netherlands combined, but has even less population. This doesn't even take into account that in Africa your life expectancy is almost half of that of Europe, in some countries. The truly overpopulated continent is Europe, not Africa. Africa ismore than 3 times larger than Europe but is also less much less than 2 times the population. Europe 0.747billion vs Africa at 1.2billion. so Europe do us a favour and shut up.

@@behm93 you don’t own the earth people have migrated since the beginning you can’t stop it
Yes Europe is higher in terms of population density we know this they have their own issues to deal with - but at this time we are speaking about Nigeria's population not in comparison to Europe or other countries. I think a case can be made for reduced birth rates in order to benefit each child with greater opportunities for example having in place financial incentives by government to support smaller families i.e. below 3 kids and Financially penalize larger families. This in my view should be directed specifically at women primarily.
The unfortunate thing is that you also need honesty in how such could be administered but the corruption levels idk.
I believe this could be a game.changer and see Nigeria proposer even more.
It's scary to see Nigeria, Pakistan, & Bangladesh population becoming out of control. I think their respective goverment need to provide education and better infrastructure so their people have more things to do aside of making babies in the night.
Bangladesh has figured it out and their total fertility rate is around 2.1 (right around replacement level). Pakistan is another story as the country is pretty much a bastion of Islamic fanaticism and the people pretty much believe in making as many kids as possible as a command from God to create more Muslims
Read a bit before commenting...Bangladesh's population growth will soon go below 2. Its still a poor country but economic growth is close to 7%...so they are not begging from white people for relief!..also it probably have the most fertile land in the whole world.. So most of the foods are grown internally.
As long as Floods and other Disasters don't destroy their farms and economy
You think people are having children cos they have nothing to do ?
Bangladesh is still a very poor Muslim country. It has reduced its fertility to below replacement level, because the women asked for contraception and were given it.
Ultimately no other nation will lift Nigeria out of poverty except Nigeria
It is still a big concern because a Nigeria that's not well managed will affect all of Africa.
It's complex, then, not only because of the sheer amount of people - which is already an issue in and of itself - but also because it changes the ethnic balance of population and power even more in favor of the north. Let's just hope it doesn't lead to another civil war

Not one word about corruption. How the cultures of Nigeria give rise to corruption, and how it is further tolerated is not addressed. That erosion of integrity explained the failure of all it's social programs, and discouragement of generations of Nigerians.
yeah the government kills us if we protest, for example the end sars lekki protest
Worth noting is that having multiple children is also a sort of investment. As there is a very weak (or non-existent) pension system in Nigeria, low-income parents may have many children so that they can be cared for in their old age.
In addition to being an economic issue, I'd add that it's also a cultural issue that makes people go for this

Where is the overpopulation and alphabet culture war solutions directed towards those countries?
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.
AND ? THEY WILL TAKE IT FROM PLEBS LIKE USA /RUSSIA ... THEY CAN EZ INVADE THOSE COUNTRYS FOR RESOURCES

I never understood why poor people have more kids than rich people... Its like when ppl have the financial resources they have "better" stuff to do than make a family, while the poor so bored that they get busy doing something irresponsible
Poor lacks in family planning
Mortality rate is higher in poor countries, hence more children is a way of ensuring that some make it alive into adulthood. Also the means of production are labor intensive in poor countries, and since people can′t afford to hire employees or buy machineries like in rich countries, they resort to having more children as free laborers.
It's just culture. I'm a Venda from South Africa. We make sure a house and source of income exists before having an unwarranted child.
We literally don't care if you're married and in love, a house and resources must exist.
Or else the family won't approve.
It's why our region has the highest rate of varsity qualifications and why most managers are slowly being replaced by us
This is more about culture than the things you say.
i would agree with you if you where talking about 1st word countries like US/UK. but in 3rd world countries it makes sense because child mortality/women dying during child birth is way higher in those countries. they have as many kids as possible to make sure at least one makes it to adulthood and continue the bloodline. Basically culture and child mortality
Other countries: let's not have many kids to ensure the preservation of our environment and a sustainable future
Nigerians: baby machine goes brrrrrrrr
By other countries I think you mean some 2nd world countries
I understand that this is a meme. But environmental destruction is still way more severe in western countries despite lower population numbers. The US alone outcompetes the whole continent of Africa in pollution despite having less than half the population.
African nations are also building a green wall and keeping Sustainability in mind. So honestly except for food production and this over exaggerated prediction. It's not going to be that big of an issue.

As an Indian I am very happy about this, because less population means better life, lesser pressure on Environment, better health and education. In general Quality and not Quantity!

If anyone is curious the population of each continent by 2100
North America estimate between 500 million to 600 million (global warming will make Canada warmer and more fertile giving much more agricultural land to the county)
The population is expected to be 45% european about 25% Hispanic and about 30% Asian and black but looking at current IR statistics it’s probably not unlikely that about a 1/3 of the Asian/black population will be married to a person of european decent, but there numbers will be 14% of the population for blacks and 16% of the population for Asians (but as stated these racial groups will probably have some admixture of european blood due to marriage)
South America 700 million. 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. Overall it would appear the America’s will have a population of about 1.3 billion (which would be less populated than India) and with 2 continents of space for its population will be populated but still will have plenty of space left over while some African countries sill suffer greatly from land and water sacristy... potentially a mad-max situation but with African landscapes instead of Australia
So overall population structure
european population= 920 million
Hispanic= 885 million
I would probably consider Hispanics to be closes to Europeans due to colonialism and 23&me study’s so my personal number
Whites/Hispanics= 1.8 billion
Arab= 2 billion

Asian= 3.7 billion

Superb analysis. Experience has shown that, over time and as modernization expands in a society, birth rates drastically fall. Many Asian countries are a good recent example, such as India and Iran and others, where birth rates have been dramatically reduced over the last decades. The same happened in Europe a few decades earlier. The problem with sub-saharan Africa is that a combination of cultural, economic and other factors means that the inevitable slow down of birth rates seems to be starting later. We may also need to take into account that modernization started late in Africa. The Nigerian government must invest heavily in education. It may have to impose a three child policy quite strictly, to avoid a future tragedy. Certainly it is not easy, but is there another solution? Also, experts from other countries should be called for help. Nigerian government may see outside involvement as a form of neo-racism, considering the colonial past and exploitation of Africa. It must not. It must prioritize the future of its people, neglecting the divisions of the past.
Nigerian government won't take any effective measures to curb population growth.
Unpopular opinion, Nigeria isn't overpopulated. Overpopulation means that a country's "human population rises to an extent exceeding the carrying capacity of the ecological setting" and this measured by population density. Nigeria has 235/kmsq, same as Germany. Is Germany overpopulated? Singapore, UK, Mauritius, Rwanda, Belgium have higher population densities mostly above 500, are they also overpopulated? Yes, Nigeria's per capita income is not as high but doesn't make it technically overpopulated.
@@johnajibi602 Is Germany's population predicted to quadruple before the end of the century? I believe the answer is "no".
Nigeria is predicted to overtake that of the USA in terms of population. Yet it is at least 10 times smaller in area. If you aren't overpopulated now, you soon will be.
It's 2022 and someone is predicting population of 70 years from now likely? Most likely predicated on wrong assumptions. I am at least aware of the fact that most Nigerians were culturally giving birth to more than 3/4 children and that has changed a lot. These days you find most young ones giving birth to 2 or 1 or not at all. Who makes predictions without checking trends especially the current ones and expect to be correct? Wrong assumptions please and it's sensational at best.
@@johnajibi602 Most younger ones? Maybe most educated Southerners. In many parts of Nigeria, multiple wives isn't unusual and in the North each woman has on average 5 children.
It's usually the poorer sector of society that has more children. We both know that Nigeria has a large and ever growing poor segment. The population will continue to surge for sometime to come.
Great
Everyone *trying to sound intelligent as if they are* 🙄🙄
Me: *why put up an old Abuja city gate in this video? The capital changed over 2 decades now* 🤦🤦
Abuja's still the Capital
@@ikengaspirit3063 the point is that the gate changed
Make your own video.
Nigerians are so optimistic, they will get themselves out of poverty.
SUB SAHARAN AFRIKA INTENTIONALLY MISMANAGED:
European imperial democracy has done more harm to Afrika than good (this has established, remotely promoted and maintained corrupt imperial governments/leaders which intentionally mismanage countries) .... "A master cannot rule a rich slave" Therefore, many people have to be maintained poor so that they can keep depending on their masters (Euro-American imperialists and their agents in neocolonial Afrikan governments)
Lol again this false lie 🤣 Africa was prosperous under colonial rules but the moment the Nigerian themself were command thing started to go south, and that can be said for most African just look at videos, document, all system of support that were in places and politics, photos of this era, all the infrastructure that chinese people would have loved to have. You can say after that the country was mismanaged, NIGERIAN are the one who have mismanaged their own country and now you don't want to take your own responsibility and that's why you fail because nobody I Africa want to take responsibility for the degradation of Africa since these 50s years
Untrue Nigeria was a wealthy country up until the early eighties with brilliant infustrucre ,it went downhill because of greed and corruption.
They need to stop having so many kids. They wont be able to take care of themselves eventually and it'll bring down neighbouring countries and then spreading to the next country using up the resources. That's too many starving kids for my heart to bear. They have to do something I say they, because its not our right to choose for them but I really hope they can come together as a people to find a solution
India had same problem but now we have improved a lot
Just look at our fertility rate its 2.1
And in coming years it is going below 2
India is changing fast.
Too late for India, 20 million people still increasing per year. When China implemented one child policy, india should have implemented 2 child policy strictly that time.
@@user-mp1uf6lf5p At least They try and get some success also unlike fucking Nigeria
It's below two now!!!! Check it out
Got some good news for you!
Intelligent people do not bring children into the world if they cannot provide a good life for them.
Such simplistic logic is also not used by intelligent people
Children are the retirement plan in a country that offers none, and you work a hard physical job that you will have to stop one day, your children will feed you then. As the other comment stated such simple logic isn't sign of very cultivated brain either.
I hope you do realise that, the world has a lot inventions brought about by people born in abject poverty?
If the world is filled with only rich kids do you think most of them will be motivated enough to do something great for humanity?
Anyway, be sure to take care of the kids you bring into this world.
God bless you
So how about China
They'll keep spreading round the world as their population increases. That's what's gonna happen. They are travellers. They're not all gonna be residing in Nigeria. That's for sure.
Amazing analysis of Nigeria's population problem. Nigeria is rich in natural resources which if properly utilized can help fix the infrastructure problem. With bad governance, Nigeria continues to go in the wrong direction. The population growth rate is only a disaster because of corruption and bad leadership with no policies in place to do the right things.
NigeriA is in africa
Nigerian*
Excessive population is a disaster no matter what.
@@davidz2562 nigeria has black peoples and you dont like that much huh?
@@kentonbenoit9629 Nigeria is in a bad situation because of its ridiculously high birthrate, religious fundamentalism & several low-intensity conflicts.
