Reply to comment by tka11486 in Megalopolis: how coastal west Africa will shape the coming century. by filosoful

Is it? The author is clearly well traveled in West Africa, they're surprised because things have seemingly changed so fast.

While I think that population growth will probably decline more than predicted as Africa gets rich, it's worth noting that certain African countries (particularly Nigeria and Uganda) have already hit insanely high population densities before they've become developed, and will see ridiculously fast urbanisation.

This is true. And the rich ones don't like to have more than 2 babies in their actual marriage but will act sugar daddy for many young adult females which also gives him the options to keep or abort babies.
