You are lying! I don't know what is wrong with some of you Nigerians. America is my second home. Lived in U.S longer than I ever lived in Nigeria or in Western Europe where I was born. There are more homeless people than there are homeless shelters. I should know because I used to volunteer in shelters in the United States. And no, the shelters don't take all homeless people in or help the homeless with jobs, health insurance, etc.

There are so many Americans who are not homeless and have no health insurance coverage how much more the homeless.

Also, not all homeless people are drug addicts or people with mental health issues. Some are regular folks who lost their jobs, could no longer make rent and found themselves on the street. Most Americans are only 1 paycheck away from ending up on the street.

REAL Americans tell the truth about their country America unlike African migrants like you who stay hyping other people's country more than your own. America is on a downward spiral. Americans know this and talk about it all the time but African migrants like you will come online to lie about a country that you don't even originally come from because many of you are so thirsty for validation from Nigerians in Nigeria and want Nigerians in Nigeria to worship your azz all because you reside in America.

So many Americans are running away from America and migrating to countries in South and Central America, Asia, Australia and to Africa. Yes, you heard me, AFRICA!

Keep hyping America and don't go and fix your homeland. As a Black African, you will always be looked down upon no matter where you live on earth until you develop your homeland. America is not your ancestral land. Go and develop your ancestral land in Nigeria Africa.

Please also analyse the cost of living in both countries and quality of living based on cost.
I don’t know if I make sense

Nigerians are suffering and managing

I don’t know why you people will compare USA and Nigeria

Somatohadidas:
You need to adjust for population size.

Nonetheless, Nigeria has far higher numbers than the US in totality.

GidiCars:
homeless people have access to healthcare in America,

Research shows that about 40% of homeless individuals are insured under Medicare and Medicaid. The remaining 60% have no insurance, though many are eligible for Medicare or Medicaid due to their age or disability status. https://www.forbes.com/sites/sachinjain/2021/04/17/homelessness-is-a-healthcare-issue-why-dont-we-treat-it-as-one/?sh=4b8c88aa77e3

He’s right. See below. And these are real jobs with benefits. Not 100k a month jobs

ChiefS:


While America is far ahead of Nigeria, many Nigerians think its El dorado.I'm not sure there are more homeless people in America than Nigeria as it has not been validated by research. Accommodation is very expensive over there. I was shocked to see beggars in America when I visited. I remember giving a beggar some money in USA.

RodgersAkpafu:
There are many car owners that are very broke in Nigeria Dont believe that hype o Is it not in my area I saw many people selling stuff out of their cars ? Some even sleep in their cars Not dem say I SAW it Owning a car does not mean anything ooooo

Abfinest007:
I perfer living homeless abroad than Nigeria .

Kobojunkie:
Adjust for population size? Why?.

thebosstrevor1:


We all know that the United states is better than Nigeria but stop acting like everything is perfect in that country

there are lot of videos on YouTube of homelessness in the United states.

So stop trying to hype homeless people in the United states.

It is the worst thing ever. You can literally die in the winter

ModestGal:


Hey, I don't completely agree with you on your analysis. Especially with the credit card theory. That one is a killer, cos when you fail to repay the money you spent. Your life just begin the go down as you will struggle later in your life time to repay the money. But in nails, you can always go back home to your permanent residence or close pals could house you for a while. They don't help kike this abroad!

Keep decieving yourself
Anyone who is homeless in Canada (I live in Canada) has either chosen to be homeless, working on some great idea, struggling for the moment, drug addicts, with mental illness, has criminal charges.
If an immigrant can have a home, then, no reason why someone brought up in the system would be homeless. Also,most homeless people are homeless just for a while. But people in Nigeria, will start their lives as homeless and end it as homeless. Comparing Nigeria to the Western world is like comparing ant to an elephant. And yes,, there are more opportunities in the Western world than in Nigeria. Supports right and left. Stop decieving people, you are vexing me

There is credit card, which means you can borrow for a while, and their are houses of $450,shared apartments,etc. If you work in AA factory, anyone should be able to make that in a month to keep himself warm in a home.
You can rent room together with your friend just like in Nigeria. And these western worldss have immigrants from all over the world that could also lead to lots of people being homeless, but most of these people would be homeless for a while till things get better.
And also,, no mosquitoes,so if they are homeless,at least no mosquito to disturb their sleep

Somatohadidas:
Cos both countries don't have the same population size.

Many make this mistake while comparing things, places, countries, and the likes. To be fair with comparison, you need to scale the quantity of interest by the same weight. Say, the number of homeless people per 10 000, 100 000 0r 1 000 000 inhabitants and so on.

This reminds me of the recent arrow attacks that killed people in Norway. There were people saying the country is still very peaceful compared with the US death rates from such attacks. However, the pro-US group of the arguments brought in the population sizes of the two countries and said it was because the US has a larger pop size (which is true) than Norway. It was only when such attacks in the two countries were compared per 100 000 people (scaled)of the population that they realized the US indeed has higher rates of such attacks than Norway.

I hope I was able to make myself clear with the explanation.

PS: I'm not here to take any sides

That's not true, most of those Job openings off shitty pay and are not sustainable. You'd have to work like 3 jobs to keep up.

If you use Reddit, kindly visit r/antiwork so you can see how people complain. Most of those jobs don't pay well.

IPIGSRSHALLOW:
Most major cities the US have major homelessness wahala. Homelessness, begging for money and major crimes makes Nigeria looks like heaven.

A Nigerian was just killed 4 days ago for absolutely nothing. I feel at peace whenever I'm in Nigeria.

marenkurz:
Homelessness in developed world is self inflicted. There are free government housing they can move in to. But because they can't abide by the rules of those housing, they stay on the street.
By the way, one has to be extremely useless to be out of the system.

dasparrow:
I will keep educating some of you because I can't stand lies and ignorance!

Force to them to which indoor?
There are lot of cases if homeless people freezing to death during the winter, just search on Google

almarthins:


He said 30% of lagosian re homeless

ReeLoaDead:

Wow … Nigeria is safer than USA? With all the armed robberies, kidnappings and Boko Haram killings?

planetx:
Free housing indeed, I doubt you have ever left Nigeria before. Maybe it is those nasty shelters you are calling free housing.

IPIGSRSHALLOW:


Lagos, is far safe than most large cities in the US.
Only if you know how many people are killed in the city of Chicago alone on weekly basis.
Google is your friend, try doing some research.

FreeIgboho:


We have to first define homeless. Many “homeless” people in US are housed better than Nigerian lower class. They all also get a free smart phone with unlimited data

Only if u r a certain demography or live in certain areas. Lots of Nigerians live in US. I bet you they all feel safer in US than Nigeria, not just theory

IPIGSRSHALLOW:


Crimes in demographics and different parts of any city applies just any city you can think of.
Don't even think for a second of venturing into South south Chicago or West End in Atlanta. Sure certain parts of Lagos are also more dangerous than others.
Nigeria as a whole is more dangerous than the US but Lagos is much safer than most US cities.
Also, most crimes in Nigeria are committed by those that you don't know while most in the US are committed by those that you know.
Statistically speaking, there are more murders in US per capital than in Nigeria.
