Abstract
Accurate population statistics is very importatnt for good development planning and economic management of any country. This can be achieved through adequate and close registration and monitoring of births, deaths and migration; many developing countries however do not have adequate facilities for these tasks. Where such facilities are available, the processes are tedious, slow and stressful, hence they are not widely used. This work is an attempt to bridge the gap, it presents an online information system for monitoring births and deaths rates in Nigeria. A database for registering births and deaths was created with SQlite at the backend, JavaScript - a lightweight, interpretive scripting language was used to ensure dynamic web pages and object-oriented Node JS for the server side language due to its efficiency as a server side language.
