It is blessing for Nigeria for having the above average.so,the country deserve to be mother of africa and to be respected in the whole world.
i agree we have human resources,but why dnt we have social infrasture? And we all know that the more the people has the more resource it has,take chaina as an example
nageria na big city
I am sorry, we are more than this figure. especially Lagos and Oyo state. It is the reality. God help us
ALLAH BELESED NIGERIA WITH POPULATION AND BELESED HER WITH ABONDAND RESOURSES FOR EVERY CITIZEN TO INJOIN FOR BEEN NIGERIAN NOT FOR FEW NIGERIANS. I AM CALLED TO UR LEADERS TO LOOK UR PUPOLATION AND WE ARE UNDER THERE CONTROL AND ALLAH WILL ASK THEM HOW THE GOVORN US LAST DAY.
only God can save us in this country Nigeria, everyday we increase in number without an increasement in the level of infrastructure…….,
The graet contry nigeria wit the minimum poplasion wich the nigeria bad goverment can nt protect d citesence of the contry the goverment shere all the resorces of the contry withing there selfs
The Census body should ensure the automation of settlement census data for researcher so as Nigeria should move ahead. thanks
Yes ofcoz nigeria is a blessed country bt only few citizenz enjoyed the blessing bt otherz ar strugglin n strivin 2 survive on their own!May almighty god help us!!!
Our population is the function of our problems.Measures need to be taken to control diz increase if not,SOCIAL PROBLEMS such as:corruption,terrorism,exams-malpractice etc are inevitable.
Nigeria is a country cursed by abundance of resources: until we start killing thieves, fraudsters called leaders, I mean in the civil service inclusive we shall make no headway. Stop celebrating those who steal your resources for thier personal gains.
please kindly let me know Nigerian population statistics of male and female parents and religious clerics.Thank you.
population census should also take good care of number of muslims and christians religious clerics in both urban and rural areas.This will greatly help in curtailing those selfish religious clerics who always like to mislead their followers.
The census shd also be arranged by the population of towns and villages; if the figures shd be relied on.
I do hope the government will create the enable envirronment for the population to be put into proper used or else it becomes a burden to the nation.
The Nigeria is good country but it has bad leaders
Nigeria is a country which has face alot of challenges from d previous leaders,if we can just stop fooling our self with a name the gaint of Africal,and see that this country worth to be splitted for people to survive from surffer, we are gaint of calamities,dont be deceived,
What is a population without a full development of her country. Nigeria wil be made the mother of Africa if development will back its population up with good governance
For us to have an effective and productive population our educational system from primary to tertiary level must be properly funded for it to have the capacity to produce resourceful graduates.
Nigeria is blessed with every resource. Human and natural reseources are in abundant. Indeed my country is great. But why people are suffering in the country? This question has differet answers. However, my opinion is that we lack good human resource that will put in to practice proper utilization of these abundant natural resources. According to Prof. (Emeratus) Ali Al – Amin Mazuri, he described Africa as Garden of Eden in decay. This is so because the abundant natural resources are not properly into use. Hence, we lack good human resource. In fact this is pity.
The former nigerian military head of state general muhammad buhari he was one of the most formidable intellects of his time @ vote for him 4the next 2015 election…………….
Nigeria has every thing needed in terms of human and natural resources to develop beyond where we are now. Our political class/leaders out of their selfish interest destroy national interest to promote wickedness of all kinds that is affecting the our blessed human and natural resources, with all the sectors of the economy surviving under the virus of stagnation.
AH! Nigeria has large population.but due to…
..
May God bless Nigerians and I believed in tomorrow will better
Please let me know the percentage of adults to children according to the 2006, national population census, we need that for academic research. Thanks and God bless Nigeria.
I am believes Nigeria is among the most blessed countries, but we are enslaving our self.the leaders ara looting, hurting and betray the poor’s,if not Nigeria are blessed with 70% of resources, but richer don’t want see the progress of poor ones.
