thebosstrevor1:Everything is not perfect however it is nothing but arrogance and foolishness to compare the fate of about 750,000 homeless Americans , many of them with access to food stamp and health care, and shelters from even the harsh winter and summer weather, to that of over 24,000,000 homeless Nigerians many of who will die of hunger and thirst without zo much as a dime from government. 6 Likes 1 Share |

What's the proportion of homeless to population in the US and in Nigeria? I can bet Nigeria's own is way higher. It's also hard to believe that there are more homeless people in US than in Nigeria. Check under Obalende bridge, Oshodi bridge. Infact, check under all the bridges in Lagos. You'll marvel at the sheer number of people living under those bridge. What of shanties like Makoko? Even areas like VI that is more of a corporate environment, you'll see many homeless people there sleeping in the streets. 7 Likes |

dasparrow:. You are telling him that is lieing but your submissions are ridden with lies. I think I agree more to what he said than this half truth you just dished out. Moreover you are encouraging him to go and develop his ancestral land why you are letting us know how you were born in un named Western Europe country and spent most of your life out in the "shit hole". Note that thousands of Nairaland members are based in Europe and America and they know the truth. He's right by saying it is majorly by choice that most of them chose to be homeless instead of living in shelters. I have first hand info on these because I am involved in it through my Church and also through an organization I belong to. Most shelters do not accept support because they have what will take them for more than a year. Is a big lie which your readers know to say that people are moving out of America to Asia. Infact one out of any 20 Nigerians arrival in the US are coming from Europe esp the UK. The worst situation in the US is far better than the strong middle class in Nigeria. This is a country where the people classified as poor do have almost all the thing a very rich do have. The poor can still assess healthcare without insurance. There are thousands of organizations, groups, churches etc that assist in these areas of health bills, shelters, food stamps, food pantries etc. Immigrants in the United still have added to free healthcare and extremely slashed cost due to their status tankless of citizens. 5 Likes |

Ghostmode2two: Loll. That is one of the confusions of this thread they can't define what is meant by homelessness In Nigeria, you build zinc house or mud house and stay inside, in America you build according to Government standard and inspection, that why people are mostly tenants there, and when they can't pay, they end up sleeping on the street, and also thier tax stuffs and expenses are high, so ithey must be strict on spending, and if they have any bad habit(Alcohol, drug women), they will be seconds to getting homeless 1 Like |

Ghostmode2two:To home how many of the over 750,000 homeless people in on the plot and self contained though? The problem is limited resources.... there are more people homeless- than there are resources to go around. How many 2 bedroom flats you wan build to house 750,000 people this year? How many more for others who later become homeless. |

EBMedia: Blacks really truly don’t still use the brains. The earth isn’t a class of rich and poor. It’s equal with every equality with its own purpose. If you see homeless people in New York, it’s the immigrants who should be on their own country developing their lands but rather run away to land of milk and honey. If your dear country becomes any man’s idea of milk and honey then more homeless persons would be here (lagos) than Nigeria itself. Cause Nigeria is homeless to its citizens how much more. But seriously this post made me laugh, normally you don see omo onile talk say hin no get house, Na even omo onile dey sell land, but coming to think that the same Lagos, this black lazy olofofo is homeless to its own omo onile and the New York is homeless to him and other fellow run away idiots, who decides to find the truth outside their own country, when the truth lies in their hands. I am sad being born Nigerians still would be my top rated most educated illiterates. 3 Likes |

Saao: Pako is far better than living in a cardboard box.... you forgot that NY is a very big city.....and expensive too....those homeless couldnt afford the rent and utilities. there are lots of empty homes also that people couldnt pay the rent....theres poverty everywhere. Lots of American are living on debts to battle their poverty....that was evident during pandemic....you see someone driving 2020 toyota (on loan) queuing for food packs.....can never happen in Nigeria..... 4 Likes 1 Share |
