The United Nations wants Nigeria to go to a 3 child per family policy. By its estimates Nigeria's population will more than quadruple in the next 90 years and be more than 700 million in 2100. This would give it approximately 300 million more citizens than the United States in 2100, for instance.

"I am really scared about population explosion in Nigeria. It is not healthy. Nigeria should work towards attaining a maximum of three children per family," Sachs told AFP on the margins of a presidential interactive meeting with key members of the business community.
Here is the population explosion the country has had since 1960 to 2009. Its truly jaw dropping and frightening.
