Texas-Sized Nigeria Will Have More People Than US by 2050 - And it might overtake China in another century

The UN's new population forecast for the world has some eye-popping figures, especially about Africa in general and Nigeria in particular. Its charts show that Nigeria, about the size of Texas, will surpass the entire US in population by 2050, reports the Guardian. By 2100, it is expected to have an astonishing 1 billion people and be poised to overtake China, writes Max Fisher in the Washington Post. (The latter country will be shrinking and likely headed for a demographic nightmare.) As for the African continent, it "will see a population explosion nearly unprecedented in human history," he adds.

The biggest nation in 2100, however, is expected to be India, with a population somewhere around 1.5 billion. But its growth will level off around 2065—meaning Nigeria looks on track to be No. 1 in the subsequent decades. As for the US, its growth will rise slowly but steadily over the century and should be around 500 million by 2100. The world's overall population, now at 7.2 billion, is expected to be at 11 billion by then.

Going to need to do some imperialistic expanding of the borders.

I don't know if that's a good thing or bad thing.

Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if wars popped off and Nigeria expanded its borders/territory. So many people can't live in that space without things jumping off with their neighbours.

thats literally impossible Nigeria currently has 162.5 million people thats alot but no way they could reproduce that fast and catch countries already around like 10x the population ahead of them. their country size is "small" too no way could they even handle twice the population

its only been growing at 2.5% annually
