…Shows how radically the world is changing

…According to new estimates, Nigeria is expected to nearly double its population in the next 27 years.

…Nigeria’s stunning growth is also indicative of the growth of the African continent.

In contrast to the countries facing the possibility of an aging, shrinking populace, other parts of the world are set to take the baton of population growth in the coming decades. Perhaps the most notable of these rapid-risers is Nigeria.

As recently as 1982, Nigeria had fewer than 80 million people and was outside the world’s 10 most populous countries. In the 41 years since, Nigeria’s population has nearly tripled to 225 million, moving up to sixth on the list. And that is not expected to slow down.

According to the most recent UN projections, Nigeria will nearly double its population again by 2050 to an estimated 377 million. In the process, the country will leap-frog Pakistan and Indonesia and end up in a virtual tie with the US as the third most populous country in the world. That’s incredible for a country that is just a bit bigger than the area of Texas.

Nigeria’s stunning growth is also indicative of the African continent. According to the UN estimates, five of the eight countries expected to make up half of the world’s population growth over the next 27 years are in Africa. In an interview with Africa News, Tighisti Amare, the Deputy Director of the Africa Programme Chatham House in London, pointed out that Africa is the fastest-growing continent and the youngest, noting that 70% of the population is under 30.

“The population growth is, of course, partly explained by improvement in level and access to public health,” Amare said. “That has led to decrease in child mortality. And that by itself is good news. And the other good news is that also by having a young population, most African nations do not have the burden of a large elderly population that relies on taxes and pensions, which can be a strain on the economy as well.”

She also noted that because of such a young population, countries like Nigeria are producing more workers in the tech industry, increasing the possibility that the solutions for issues that impact Africa, such as climate change, are developed domestically.

While there are plenty of positives, there are also plenty of development issues that come with such a rapidly expanding population. Michael Herrmann, an economic adviser with the United Nations Population Fund, told Africa News that without proper planning, it could be difficult to care for, educate, and employ a population growing that fast.

“They have decided to meet the needs of people in terms of education, of health care, housing, food, water, energy, security,” Hermann said. “They want to create full employment for the people, and a growing population can raise the stakes in these efforts. It makes it harder to achieve these objectives, to achieve social progress, and also it might come with growing pressures on the environment.”

Regardless of how Nigeria and other fast-growing African nations handle their explosive growth, World Population Day gives us a chance to reflect on the dramatic human shifts that will reshape our globe in the decades to come.

  1528. Zastanawiałeś się kiedyś, jak to jest trafić cukrowy jackpot? W Sugar Rush chodzi o to, aby trafić trzy lub więcej symboli scatter, aby uruchomić rundę darmowych spinów. Gdy już tam będziesz, to zupełnie nowa gra. Te mnożniki i wyróżnione miejsca z głównej gry? Nie resetują się. Nie, zostają, co ułatwia zbieranie wygranych. Możesz skończyć z wypłatą słodszą niż szarlotka babci w niedzielne popołudnie. A najlepsze? Możesz ponownie uruchomić więcej darmowych spinów w samej grze bonusowej, co sprawia, że jest to potencjalnie niekończąca się uczta smakołyków. Uwierz mi, raz spróbujesz tej rundy bonusowej w BDMBet, będziesz wracać po kolejne, trzecie… kto by liczył? Jako że gra liczy już kilkanaście lat, grafikę i dźwięk można uznać za mało nowoczesne. Efekt ten spodoba się jednak zwolennikom klasycznych slotów, którzy odczuwają tęsknotę za dawnym klimatem gier kasynowych.
