Nigeria, 7 others to make up more than half of global population increase by 2050 – UN

The United Nations has revealed that Nigeria alongside, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Egypt, Ethiopia, India, Pakistan, the Philippines and the United Republic of Tanzania will occupy more than half of the projected increase in the global population up to 2050.

This was disclosed in a UN report which stated that the world’s population could grow to around 8.5 billion in 2030 and 9.7 billion in 2050, before reaching a peak of around 10.4 billion people during the 2080s and expected to remain at that level until 2100.

The UN also warned that the COVID pandemic had an effect on population change as global life expectancy at birth fell to 71 years in 2021 (down from 72.9 in 2019) and also produced short-term reductions in numbers of pregnancies and births.

What they are saying

The United Nations stated, “More than half of the projected increase in the global population up to 2050 will be concentrated in eight countries: the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Egypt, Ethiopia, India, Nigeria, Pakistan, the Philippines and the United Republic of Tanzania.”

  • It added that countries of sub-Saharan Africa are expected to contribute more than half of the increase anticipated through 2050.
  • Liu Zhenmin, UN Under-Secretary-General for Economic and Social Affairs, warned that “rapid population growth makes eradicating poverty, combatting hunger and malnutrition, and increasing the coverage of health and education systems more difficult.”
  • The UN projects that the world’s population could grow to around 8.5 billion in 2030 and 9.7 billion in 2050, before reaching a peak of around 10.4 billion people during the 2080s. The population is expected to remain at that level until 2100.
  • The international organisation also projects a “demographic dividend” in most countries of sub-Saharan Africa, as well as in parts of Asia and Latin America and the Caribbean, due to a rise in the share of the working age population (25 to 64 years), providing an opportunity for accelerated economic growth per capita.
  • “The projection is revealed in the UN’s World Population Prospects 2022 report, which also shows that India is on course to surpass China as the world’s most populous country in 2023,” it added.

What you should know

  • Nairametrics reported last year that the Federal Government stated that Nigeria’s rising population is a cause of concern in the future, warning that it needs to implement policies to deal with the rising population growth rate and keep the growth rate in check.
  • Mr. Boss Mustapha, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) stated that Nigeria is expected to become the 3rd most populous nation on earth in a couple of decades, admitting that Nigeria currently cannot address the needs of its youth.

    Rentolog electric water technology had been analyzed and found worthy for consumer taste. We give thanks to God who made this innovation possible.
    HOW DO IT WORK?
    When water is supplied to the tank, the water flows into a region, the region is blocked by an arc as in your conventional dam, the pressure of the water will increase, the arc opens and the pressure reduces. According to Bernoulli principle, the lower the pressure increases the speed of the fluid(water) and higher the pressure, the speed (velocity) reduces. The water speed is maintained by Pascal principle, which states the fluid at a point or region is evenly distributed . The flow to a region of empty space , gravity and magnetic field of the magnet pull it towards the turbine as in the mountain fall But for an effective precision the entrance to the turbine region will be small just like in the spark plug in Internal combustion engine. The reason is for the water to concentrate in the blade of the turbine for turning purposes . As the water turns the turbine , Faraday law of magnetic field will occur, the turning of the turbine blade will convert the circular motion to reciprocating motion. A small electric current will be supplied to the coil and the rotor which strengthens the electricity and supplies it to the battery, and your home. The water will flow back to the tank passing through the non return valve to continue the thermodynamic flow equation. This process conserves energy and requires minimum electricity to operate and also it is efficient. The body of the RET system is made of an insulator to prevent escape of electricity .
