        There needs to be a population policy put in place in Nigeria, one child or two child policy. Nigeria needs to halt the rapid birthrate of its population which is placing tremendous stress on Nigeria's wilderness areas & farm lands.

        Ditto. Nigeria entered overpopulated status in 2005. Population grew from 80 million in 1991 to 120 million today. Cities like Warri w/3 million people don't have Sewage systems and agriculture around is primitive

        The issue is not overpopulation but poor leadership. Proposing curbing the growth of the population is appealing. It is a solution that is too simple and, therefore, bound to fail.

        No matter what type of leadership, the more people, the more resources will be required. So yes, use high tech means to take pressure off the natural world & other species, and reduce your population over time via low birthrate.

        However, agree w/Jay in need to have a Government capable to honestly manage resources efficiently to benefit the People & deal with overpopulation. Nigeria historically had corrupt government officials who misused Oil income instead of building infrastructure, public services.

        Precisely, @noeldecan1. Unless Nigeria completely weeds out corruption and corrupt people from her councils of state and corridors of power, no level of population reduction will help the poor and the blighted of Nigeria. By the way, this applies to almost all African nations.

        Positive that a sweep took place in Spain where corrupt people in govt & criminals were arrested & the corrupt prime minister received a no confidence vote, stepped down. People of good conscience need to work peacefully to sweep out corruption & make their country great.

        Dwindling farmland in the the most populous country in Africa. It’ll only get worse.

        Farmers and herdsmen conflict in Nigeria has no religious connotation as even the core north where Muslims dominates, the same conflict exist.
