Very educative post ; many of us don't value what we have here. The opportunity is enormous we should just try to put our brain to task and with God on ones side , breakthrough will come

im 29 going to 30, lived in lagos ibadan ilorin and osun, never seen an homeless person in naija, you go see who go take u in nii shaa

GboyegaD:


I once heard a friend mention this and all I felt was just to let it slide. It is best to leave you to your assumption as people become homeless for many reasons we do not have ideas of. For those whose parents never took to their villages, what village do they go to? For those whose parents changed names before they were born, where do they go?

still same shiii im talking about, why would you leave ue village to go city go dey live under bridge, no be lagos be dat,must everyone live in lagos, no mata how mata take tie wrapper, you go see who go take u in except you bad or u be thief.... again you had to google before u could show me proof, but abroad, no need for google, just walk outta ur house you see tent all over

DaddyCoool:


I guess you'd call all these below homes

exactly what im saying,why do i have to ggogle to see homeless people in naija, in usa or uk you dont need google, just leave ur house and you see homeless shelter all around

Kobojunkieee:
Please, try to get Google to educate you on this!

Stop lying dude.
Biggest walmart in America is in new York city in their capital, Albany.
At least don't show your ignorance without research first. That's why you have phone

This is store 2156 in Albany new York.

UncleKoboko:

Mumu
No Walmart in New York?
Lol
Na so una go just come here dey disgrace una generations

He said there is no Walmart in New York CITY.

New York City is a city INSIDE a state called New York State. Like Kaduna is a city inside Kaduna State.

Albany is the capital city of New York State.

There is no Walmart in New York City. This is an issue often in the news. The City Council of New York City has consistently voted for years to prohibit Walmart from opening a store in their city. New York City is ruled by the Democrat Party, they HATE free markets, capitalism and private progress.

A few years ago Amazon tried to open a major facility in New York City and the same city government REJECTED it even though it was going to bring over 10,000 jobs earning average of $75K or something like that.

I HATE how Nigerians argue unreasonably. Instead of argument, we can all try to do a little research. Though I've always known this from reading the news. There is NO Walmart in New York City.

You owe the man an apology. Thanks.

Good Luck to Nigerians.

Everyone in Nigeria sees them and knows where they are mostly to be found except you is why.

Even as far back as the 80s and 90s in Nigeria, i knew where to find the homeless people in my community back in Ikorodu, Lagos. So, for a grown individual in 2024, to tell me he has never seen or known of them in that same Nigeria, fear catch me

Here's my suggestion to you at this point. Please get off the Internet and open your eyes so you can see people who are right there with you as they really are. And maybe finally realize their problems. With over 25 million, approximately 1/8th of the population homeless you you claiming you have never once seen even one such, clearly something is wrong and it ain't here with Google or my person who grew up knowing of the existence of the poor in Nigeria.

Maybe you are the one disgracing your generation. When you do not know the difference between New York City and New York State. A simple google search will reveal you the difference and you must have learnt there. NYC has only 5 boroughs, you might google it and get their names.
All I have said is NYC, no part up there did I write NY oponu.

descarado:

Go and sit down.

Maybe you should go hang yourself then. When you want to sound woke but don’t know tge difference btw NYC and New York as a state.

Don't mind him! 😞

I believe he is a case of intentional blindness! In his mind,everyone even the millions of orphans scattered across of all Nigeria has this wonderful home, built and maintained for them in their village somewhere. I can't imagine why a sensible being could reason that way in this year and we live in. 🤔

CodeTemplar:
For 80 dollars I will head to wood and furniture market, arrange a carpenter, get enough plywood, bucket to easy myself, mattress bed sheet pillow and more. I will still have change left.

you carry land or space to build? 🤔

Sonnobax15:

Na wa oh......

To think that some people will sell their properties that's worth millions of naira in Nigeria only to japa and go and be living like slaves in another man's country is the last wonder on this earth 🙄

But then again,that box is equivalent to a Nigerian mansion tho

That’s what hopelessness can do to people. The more you try to endure the more hopelessness you see

You are deluded. Guy below replies you well. Show homeless anywhere except big cities. Show tents anywhere except California

cococandy:


Is the Bronx or outskirts not better than that box he’s in?

Obviously the average hotel is not that cheap but for someone desperate like him, he could have found something better than that for a few dollars more. Which is literally my point and y’all are just arguing pointlessly. What website is that?
There are many websites. Just choose the one you want to book with.

I use Expedia and booking.com and they don't tally with the prices in the screenshot, anyways where the guy wants to stay is his personal problem. Have a good weekend

I'm in ibadan,show me where homeless people are then I will take a pic..if you can't,then I've been wasting my time replying a non sensible person,I deal with physical fact,non internet statistics

Na clout chaser nah...

cococandy:
There are dirt cheap hotels that cost that much per day as at now. Much less many years ago. Meaning he could have gotten hotels for that price or less for 24 hours since this supposedly happened years ago.

Na him wan stay New York. In fact even in New York he could have gotten hotels at that price for 24 hours instead of 8 hours and stay the whole day. plus some will serve you breakfast.

Pls shut up abeg.

Your problem is definition of "home". To u people who live in ridiculous shanties and never pay rent are not homeless

Hotspurs:

It doesn't work like that for everyone

Na! That isn't his problem. He is intentionally feigning blindness. Can't you see the way he quickly dismissed those in the pictures claiming they had village homes to go to?

weyrey no fit provide location or proof,na paper statistics we go chooppp

Simple as ABC. This is how those who live in America easily spot those that are also within the system not the ones that have never entered international departure of any airport yet they assume they know everything. The worst are the ones that visited for a few weeks, yet they are authoritative experts

wiseoneking:
Dont believe everything thing you read. Sometimes I wonder if I am living in a different America. Newyork, Philly etc do have even hostels that you can rent btw $40 and $50. There are thousands of shelters for the homeless in the US. Every Nigeria or Africans are not into dirty jobs. The average median income of Nigeria significantly higher than most whites. It’s not possible for an average American to earn more than an average Nigerian who is working in thesame company where over time is available. Nigerians are not living for themselves alone but for their large dependents back home, while Americans live independent of their children, parents etc beca they are been supported by the system.

The issue of slavery is sometimes exaggerated because nobody forces you to work over time. Americans work overtime but not like Africans who wants to make all the money.
Many Nigerians here buy there own houses not on mortgage, send their children to private schools etc

Racism is also exaggerated because I know that tribalism in Nigeria is worst, where a section of a country will call the other to leave thesame country they both belong.

Nope. Check well. It's hard to find a star born to a family where mom and dad are together and love each other and no stories. From Kamala to Shaq to Tinubu, same story

This one is not a star though but someone pretending to not be aware of the reality of things in Nigeria since even I was a wee lad!

Who is not a star and pretending about Nigeria? Confusing

I was referring to the other commenter who claims to not know that there are many homeless in Nigeria.
