POPULATION

POPULATION
In case you didn't know, most Nigerians are 'black'. (Yes, I know that
is not 'politically correct'. Yes, I also know it is not accurate
either...my hair is 'black', my skin is 'brown'.) Population figures in
Nigeria have never been reliable. They are usually estimated, and even
these can differ. I have seen an estimate of 101 million people from the
ABC Country Book, 114 million from the World Bank, 127 million from the
United Nations estimate, all for the year 1995. 140 million by nigeria
population census 2006'is estimated that It has one of the highest
population densities in the world (at one time, it had the third highest
population densities), and roughly 1 out of
every 4 Africans is a Nigerian.
