Msiwahi tishwa na population scaremongers. Ask them to look at New York and Tokyo. These two cities host large populations in small areas yet quality of life is high:
New York 20m in 141,300 km2
Tokyo 37.8m in 2,194.07 km2​

What really matters is the land be properly managed to host the inhabitants. If we all lived in as densely packed city as New York, there'd be enough land left over for about an acre for everyone on earth.

I came across this somewhere and I agree. A large population is an asset. The west is worried because their people are too busy on Netflix to reproduce.


Europe’s share of the world’s population has halved since 1960: from 22 per cent to 9 per cent of the total.

Now let’s consider Africa. There are about 1.3 billion Africans now. The present birth and life expectancy projections put the African population at two billion in 2038 and three billion by 2062. These are startling figures when you consider what is going on in the rest of the world. The implication of such a population boom is that much of global economic activity will migrate towards Africa for the first time in modern history.

One of the first misconceptions about Africa is that the continent might not be able to absorb all these people. Our misunderstanding about the size of Africa has always overestimated the size of the northern hemisphere. The reality is that Africa is huge. The landmasses of China, India, Europe, the US and Japan could all fit snugly into Africa. In terms of population density, Asia is three times more densely populated than Africa, Europe four times. There’s plenty of room there.

The coming decades will see an agricultural, industrial and technological revolution in Africa as its burgeoning young population provides far more opportunities than the older staid populations of everywhere else.
