Nigeria
ASM Population: 1,000,000
Estimations from 2016-2021 appear coherent: 1,000,000 total and 500,000 gold.
Therefore min/max variation is estimated low at 5% (+/-50,000).
Female participation: Probably low in the islamic North but higher in the christian South: conservative estimation: 50,000.
Gold: Data from PlanetGOLD are considered solid: 500,000
Data sources for estimation
