A WashingtonPost report has said Nigeria will soon become the third most populated country in the world.
According to new estimates from the UN, the world is expected to add another billion people within the next 15 years, bringing the total global population from 7.3 billion in mid-2015 to 8.5 billion in 2030, 9.7 billion in 2050, and 11.2 billion by 2100.
Nigeria's population will be bigger than that of the U.S. before long. The country is expected to surpass America by about 2050 to become the third largest country in the world, the UN says.
At that point, China, India, Indonesia, Nigeria, Pakistan and the U.S. will all have populations of more than 300 million.
The UN stats also show that nearly half of the world's population growth that will happen before 2050 will be concentrated in nine countries: India, Nigeria, Pakistan, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Tanzania, the U.S., Indonesia and Uganda.
