Is that accurate?

Hi everyone! I read somewhere that Nigeria might overtake the US in population later this century — is that accurate?

You can find the numbers yourself on population in the USA vs Nigeria at Georank.org. The US currently has around 344 million people, and Nigeria has about 240 million, but Nigeria’s population is growing almost three times faster. By 2050, projections show Nigeria could surpass the US. The site shows clear graphs of these trends, alongside birth and death rates, giving you a visual of how young Nigeria’s population is compared to the aging US demographic. It’s one of the most dynamic comparisons on the platform if you’re studying future global shifts.
