What is 'the rest of the world' supposed to do? It's not like they don't have access to internet or condoms (even free), not in 2019. It's a (collective) choice. See [1]. It's about Niger (same largest ethnic group - Hausa[2]), which is also experiencing a population explosion, but the principle appears to be the same:

>“I just pray to God to bless those three babies I have,” she says. The local health centre in her village of Darey Maliki offered her free contraception, which they get partly from the NGO Pathfinder, but Hamani declined. “Maybe [my in-laws] would tell my husband to marry another woman to have more babies,” she says. “If they want me to have another pregnancy, I can do it just for them to feel happy.”

Perhaps that culture changes in the future generations, but for now Subsaharan Africa is on track for 2B+ in 2050, and nothing short of starvation or violence can change that.

Where infant mortality is high, humans tend to have more children.
