Nigeria may not be on people's radar. but it is poised to likely be 3rd in population behind only China and India possibly in some of our lifetimes (for the few of us who think we can see the 2030's or 2040's).
To think that NIGERIA................ Could be the 3rd largest country, is mind blowing and frightening.
It is a PERFECT example of a country going through the second stage of a demographic transition (extremely high population growth, and increasing health care capabilities)
Of course, that is current science based on economic geography theory and many population projections. But the world is changing, RAPIDLY, and with new disease, water resources, famine, etc., well, who really knows.

You despair, repeatedly, constantly! daily basis?
A despair ninny.
Sack up, despire ninny.

Never happen.
Famine and disease will get them first
Look, populations of all Europe, Russia, Japan and CHINA will be 50% less due to dead Booners and declining birth rate.
Population of US and Canada will remain stabile only thru immigration. Even Mexicos birth rate has slowed to replacement.
Who’s going to farming to feed Africa? I think you nailed it. Or just one big global event that causes the west to forget about third world handouts for a while, be it war, COVID-25, or whatever else. Africa has 60% of the worlds cultivatable land with only a fraction of it being used. Africa could be the world's leader in ag products, but when you have children running governments, the superpowers exploiting them, and a workforce best described as lazy there ain't much hope the trend will reverse itself anytime soon.
What will be entertaining to watch unfold is for a couple of billion Africans suddenly deciding they want cars and electricity. So much for curbing global green house gas emissions. I suppose the northern hemisphere can tell the southern hemisphere to pound sand. By and large, Africa is farming about as much of its land as it can manage right now with the aid of modern technology. Take that technology away, like fertilizer and words ending in “-icide” and all of a sudden there’s ALOT less farmable ground in Africa.
I probably hit more elk with a pickup than you have with a rifle. I have yet to see anyone claim Leupold has never had to fix an optic. I know I have sent a few back. 2 MK 6s, a VX-6, and 3 VX-111s.

Never been there myself
Worked with a man that got booted off his family's
ancestral farm that grew many crops and hundreds
of different heads of livestock, and the government
there took everything and gave it to the natives.
All the people he employed all lost their income and
housing, and the people that the land was given to
over grazed it and cut all the trees for wood and it's
all but desert now instead of a productive farm
supporting many people.
My folks were good friends with a family that were
missionaries in SA and rhodesia that finally had to
leave and come back to the US because things got
so bad with all the murders and kidnappings and rape.
I understand that many of the thugs would rape
whatever they could get to hold still long enough,
including small babies
Country needs a radioactive enema
