There are less than 220M people in Nigeria now. The population growth is very fast, but even on long odds it's more accurate to say "a few decades."
- pencilguin 4y agoI think what I read predicted a billion in Nigeria by century end, 10B total. But a lot can happen in 80 years.
- mdaEyebot 4y agoThe century will end in about 77.15 years, at which point most of us reading this will be dead. A bit more than 'a few'.
- pencilguin 4y agoThere have been anatomically modern humans for ~300,000 years. We have had systematic agriculture for just a while.
