Ken Opalo- Three Billion Africans, How demographics will shape African states’ economic and political futures

For much of history the continent of Africa has been largely underpopulated. For example, it wasn’t until the mid-1990s that the entire region’s population surpassed Europe’s (see below). Now the region is in the middle of a demographic boom that will see its population double over the next 50 years to more than 3 billion. By 2100 half all humans being born will be African. It is not an overstatement to claim that the world’s demographic future is in Africa.

  1. Their birth rates are declining and will decline just like everywhere else on Earth. It’s the same story everywhere you go.

    1. Not at all is medicine causing the boom …

      When Somalia’s birthrate “craters” from 7.65 to 6.4 births per woman … you might have a problem. Or to paraphrase the words of a Somali-American politician … some people are DOING something in Somalia

      How about the UN stop handing out mosquito nets and tampons … and start handing out birth control?

  3. The only question is, who is going to feed “Three Billion Africans”? I doubt Europeans / North Americans will manage and expecting sub-Saharans to learn how to feed themselves is, mildly put, unreasonable.

    1. That statement is, mildly put, racist. We can and will easily feed tons more people. The GMO revolution alone can get the job done.

        2. So they’ll have a reason to stay home in Africa, instead of clawing their way out to anywhere and everywhere, looking for something to eat.

      3. Who is this we,just look at Rhodesia,the bread basket of Africa,now look at Zimbabwe basically now just a basket case,i cannot for the life of me think why.

      4. Only a brainwashed nitwit could possibly take the word “racist” seriously. They are currently relying on food imports from Europe and are getting a lot of it for free, it’s a fact. Also a fact is that sub-Saharans are a totally worthless intellectually inferior vermin species that never progressed beyond building circular huts, chasing wild animals with spears, making murals and singing tribal songs until those vilified colonialists and enslavers came (on whom they now blame all their woes, even though without “colonialists and enslavers” most of them would still be chasing wild animals with spears to feed themselves).

    3. The GOOD NEWS is that Africa is home to more bugs per square inch than anyplace other than South America. So eat up Jambaya! Dig those grubs.

      1. Oh yes, I do hope they like their Chinese bwanas more than they did the European ones. China isn’t going to give them any food, though – they only need Africa for what the developed countries needed China 100 years ago.

    1. Exactly.
      It is stark the relative underpopulation of NA and Europe. We see the mass migrations today. Nations with feckless leaders and unconfident populations will disappear.
      Canada will grow less food with a larger population. Why? Because the best farmland is paved over to enlarge the anti-environment cities. To feed more people, it is best to end migration. If there is another agenda, well, that’s a different matter.

      1. 1) Cities barely take up any land. Loss of farmland to cities is miniscule.

        2) We are growing ever *more* food with less land not the other way around.

        3) We have had ever less difficulty feeding people with lots of migrants coming in.

        I mean, it’s clear that nativists will grasp at any BS rationale to justify their nativism. You don’t have to keep making that clear.

        1. My nativism is nothing more than hatred of foreigners. I don’t have to justify anything.

  5. Western Nations should end all Foreign Aid. The Globalists are freaking about over population. Guess what caused much of it Foreign Aid and bleeding heart Liberals and the Churches.
    End immigration and Foreign Aid.

          1. So what are you waiting for…isn’t your application to the Royal Canadian Migrant Porters (RCMP) pre-approved?

      2. To be truthful nobody should live in Canada. It’s only a stepping stone out of the shithole world. Our climate is totally inhospitable and our carbon footprint is 10 to 100 times the shithole world. Makes no sense to commies and greenies. Only makes sense to capitalists who prefer their exploited labour to be brown and cheap.

      3. We need 3 billion UnMe.
        Put them around the Great Lakes.
        We need to take in the entire world. /s

          1. Notice the /s or would it sound better coming from Progressive Pat ?
            Lord knows I tried , /s , /s, /S……

  6. How many windfarms will be needed to support all those peoples as their countries get modernized?

    And who is going to pay all the climate and social reparations to those unborn hard done to peoples?

  7. Blood from a stone.. 3 billion poor people is of no use to anybody.. I wonder how they feel about eating bugs?..

    1. Nobody here actually moderates the comments, the owner of the blog mentioned that already. Try to think what word caused it to be caught in the filter.
