Accurate #population data is critical for effective governance. It guides policy, urban planning, and the allocation of resources to where they're needed most. We're creating a guide to population data sources so they can lead to smarter, more equitable decisions for countries.
These cities are set to become Africa’s top 10 largest urban agglomerations by 2050, shaping the continent’s economy and future. As populations rise, so will the need for smarter planning, inclusive policies, and sustainable infrastructure.
Is your city on the list?
These are the most populated countries in #Africa, home to a significant share of the continent’s human capital. With growing cities, dynamic markets, and youthful populations, they continue to impact the continent significantly.
At OrnaMap, we’re committed to making city navigation easy, accessible, and stress-free for public transport commuters. That’s why we’ve partnered with @StearsOpenData to bring real-time ferry routes straight to your fingertips.

We’re excited to announce our partnership with @ornamapapp!🎉To make water transport in Lagos more accessible and transparent, our ferry route data is now featured on the Ornamap app.
Lagos’ waterways offer a faster commute, but safety concerns keep many away. Are life jackets truly reliable? What happens in an emergency? These are valid questions. With a recent event raising concerns about taking the ferry in Lagos, here’s what you need to know.
As #Gabon prepares for its April 12 election, past surveys still echo loudly with concerns about the standard of living. As the country prepares to vote, many are calling for reform, hoping this vote can lead to real change #Gabon2025#presidentielle2025
This Saturday, #Gabon will hold its first post-coup presidential election. This election marks a critical step in the country's return to civilian rule and democratic governance. Here are the top four candidates vying to lead the country into a new democratic chapter.
By 2050, 80% of the continent’s total population growth will be absorbed by urban areas. That’s millions of people moving into cities, looking for housing, jobs, and basic services.
This #urbanization will reshape everything from infrastructure and transport to governance.
Yesterday's incident illustrates why it's so important for Lagosians to know about water transit alternatives. #LagosFerryMap - link.stears.co/ferrymap
Poor or rich, security cars or okada, everyone was humbled by yesterday's traffic. Walking from VI to Ikoyi heard someone say "whether your car is worth 7billion or not we are all stuck together in this traffic. Non existent pedestrian walkways, broken rails on bridges, water puddles became the only path for all except you wanted to stay in the traffic. This is the reality of the average man. SMH... which way forward..???
The horrific traffic from the #IndependenceBridge closure illustrates why it's so important for Lagosians to know about water transit alternatives. Can a ferry take you where need to go? Check the #LagosFerryMap - link.stears.co/ferrymap
