730 million people in Nigeria

It's much smaller population density than Bangladesh.

Nigeria somehow takes example from last 50 years of development in Indonesia. Have you ever heard about Java?

While 10 billion people on Earth in 2100 is going to happen, in Nigeria population growth is higher than expected. 730 million isn't high estimate.

In 2008 total fertility rate there was 5.7 children per woman, while ideal family size in the North is 8 children per woman.
