Africa: The Baby Factory of the World

An alarming pattern is emerging that further exposes Africa's inability to manage anything about itself, including

Babies

its population.  

According to The Economist, 

"[a]s the babies of 2018 grow up, they will give rise to new migration patterns. Because Central America is producing fewer children, the yanquis ought to feel less pressure on their southern border. By contrast, Africa will press more heavily on Europe. But the migration corridor to watch is the one that leads from increasingly baby-filled African countries to rapidly ageing Asian ones." ~~~ The Economist

The most important thing that a country must do to get a handle on its population is to conduct a credible census.  Unfortunately, even the most populous African country, Nigeria, has failed to conduct a valid census for nearly 60 years. It continues to rely on falsified data handed down by the British prior to Nigeria's independence. 

Unable to make rational policy or apply population statistics, Africa is likely to continue to repeat the mistakes that produced slavery in Libya in 2017 and caused many young Africans to drown while seeking greener pastures in Europe.
