Nigeria population figures not accurate-UNFPA

The United Nations Population Fund's (UNFPA) Assistant Representative in Nigeria, Osaretin Adonri, has said the Nigerian population figures are speculative, projected and not accurate. The country is long overdue for a census, which would dismiss the catalogue of speculative population figures.  The 2006 population census conducted puts Nigeria’s population at 140,003,542 while the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) 2012 data estimated Nigeria’s population to be 166.2 million. “Nigeria needs a census for population accuracy and effective planning,” Adonri said.  According to the UNFPA 2019 State of the World Population report, Nigeria’s population has increased to 201 million, having grown at average rate of 2.6 per cent from 2010 to 2019.

5 most expensive January Transfer Window

January transfer window is not really the time clubs spend big on players because no club would sell a big player that will definitely attract big money in the middle of the season and also, no player would want to leave because of the fear of missing out of the UEFA championships, having played for the selling club. Nevertheless, money is still spent in the middle of the season and here are the five most expensive transfers of the January 2019.


LUCAS
5. Lucas Paqueta – €35 million.
  The talented Brazilian youngster moved to San Siro, AC Milan as their first winter buy of 2019. And cost them a good 35 million.

KRZYSTOF
4.  Krzysztof Piatek – €35 million
Another talent signed by Ac Milan is  Krzysztof Piatek, a striker from Genoa as a potential replacement for  Gonzalo Higuain after a strong interests from chelsea. He also cost them a good €35 million.

LEANDRO
3.  Leandro Paredes – €40 million
With the injury problem hitting the PSG dressing room recently, any coach wouldn't think twice in trying to recruit a talent like Leandro Paredes from Zenith St Petersburg to fill up the missing space in the midfield. 

2.  Paulinho – €42 million

Wierd is the right word for what it has been between Paulinho and Bacerlona and the Chinese Club Guangzhou Evergrande. 
Barcelona signed Paulinho for €40 million in the summer of 2017 and then in the summer of 2018, loaned him back to Guangzhou Evergrande. This January, the Chinese club activated the buy-out clause worth €42 million to permanently sign the player again. One can only assume the purpose of this whole transfer.



CHRISTIAN

1. Christian Pulisic – €64 million

With the transfer saga of the potential move of Eden Hazard to Real Madrid, Chelsea needed a replacement, so they went for Christian Pulisic.
Pulisic was signed at the cost of  €64 million and was loaned back to Dortmund for the rest of the season.
