You can't predict population growth from just fertility rates - you need to account for life expectancy. I'm guessing if you adjusted for life expectancy you're prediction would look a whole lot different, because there aren't that many Africans, and the fertility rate being high isn't a new thing there

    Heres what the UN has, they take into account fertility, mortality and migration
