Geographic Enigma: "Nigeria had more births in 2025 than all of Europe (4.5M vs. 7.5M)"
Can you explain how we are supposed to interpret this post? I'm interpreting it as you don't like seeing so many African births and that is a problem for you.

Europe is 4 million square miles. Nigeria is 350,000 square miles. The stat itself is alarming. It likely relates to the many posts about Europe facing waves of illegal immigration from Africa.
Nigeria has always been a very populated country. With large populations comes a fair amount of emigration. I think the US. has about 3 million that have emigrated currently.
Does Lover want to start a campaign to ask Nigerians to stop birthing? I'm all for Lover doing that.

The US has what? 3 million Nigerians who have currently emigrated to the US to live, or the US has 3 million of its citizens who have immigrated to other countries in which to live?
And the US has a large population. Do we have a fair amount of emigration? I've heard many Hollywood personalities say if their chosen political party loses an election, then they will leave the country, but so far, not many who promised have lived up to it.
The latter. And you made my point, countries with big populations will have sizable emigration numbers.
I have no opinion about Hollywood celebs, most IMO are a waste of space. James Woods, Dean Cain and Scott Baio are prime examples to me.

I'm all for accepting immigrants from Nigeria, if they qualify under our immigration policies and laws. Nigeria has many many ethnicities, but the 3 largest are Yoruba, Igbo, and Hausa. It is a complicated country, with the Yoruba running the government, the Muslim Hausa and Fulani in the north, I think. The Igbo are mostly Christian, and many of them are very industrious small businessmen and women who speak several languages. Most of the immigrants to Europe and the US are Igbo. They are heavily persecuted in Nigeria for being Christian, and the target of much violence and terror from Boko Haram and the Fulani Islamic terror groups. I can understand why the Igbo would try and flee the place.
