There should be a way to control Nigeria's population. Poverty rate is high

India and China nko

Modern day Republic of India has the world's second largest arable farmland after USA.

But traditionally, Undivided India a.k.a. Indian subcontinent also included modern day Pakistan and Bangladesh as well. Taken together, the Indian subcontinent has the world's largest farmland (arable land), more than even USA or China.

There is a good reason why India has always had the largest or the second largest population on Earth for the past 7000+ years.

I'm talking about farmland bruh, specifically arable land. Canada doesn't have more farmland than India. Neither does Russia. They do have more barren land though.

You need farmland to grow crops and that's what feeds and allowed a nation to have a large population.

you mean there's not hunger in India

olawaleatanda:

Yes there isn't. There is malnutrition, but that is not due to a lack of food grains. Government of India provides free food grains to poorest Indians. And you have many Temples and Gurudwaras offering free, cooked food.

The problem is that food grains alone will fill the stomach but won't give a person all the necessary minerals and vitamins. So even if there is no hunger, there is still nutrition deprivation.
Indian Government is trying multiple approaches to solve this problem. Such as making fortification of flour mandatory .

Percentage of Indians that have nutrition poverty:-
2005: 44.3%
2015: 22.1%
2019: 11.8%

For Nigeria, this figure is not even measured, the column of nutrition poverty in this report is empty in Nigeria's entry. Forget trying to combat it, we don't even know the figures for Nigeria.

Note, compare India to Ghana in this table below. Specifically, the last column about nutrition poverty.

China and some other Asian countries did...

They are regretting it.

Because they now have an elderly and "dying"population!

you were meant to say the most populated countries

In Nigeria you hear your wealth is determined by family size.
That mentality is why some illiterate families ignore family planning, have many wives and begin to bear children like rabbits in chronic poverty

What will you then say of India?

Countries with billion are doing well.. those countries with billion's of population do they have fertility problems there It seems there is no fertility issues there.. this clearly shows that fertility is caused by lifestyle

Nigeria is over 300m. The quoted figure and the 6th position is official. Sadly, we're not using our population to our benefit due to government bad policies and corruption, unlike China, India, Ethiopia and Bangladesh.

Imagine Nigerian land mark compare to Russia....

go and live there first

U go know say hunger dey

Nigeria own na guess work. We are more than that, I give credits to buhari who tried to find out the total and accurate population of Nigeria in 2023 before tinubu scattered the beautiful plan.

Humans can F sha

Me, I will keep saying it: Nigeria's population figure is inflated and exaggerated. We are not more than 150 million people.

Nigeria, them dey born to turn it into an occupation. Almajiris looking emaciated everywhere and all they do is beg and recite Koran.


I feel bad seeing how some children are used by their lazy parents to make money under this Nigeria Excruciating sun
