Trust me, you're ignorant of what you are talking about.
Some simply lost their jobs and no family or friends to support. them unlike here
For the fact that you even believed that government can cater for all of them but they simply couldn't abide by the "rules" is the problem means you don't know what you're talking about. Why don't you take few minutes to educate yourself on this and come back with more knowledge about this?

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

FernandezPablo:

Nope you don't want to..their homeless ones are bastardized and f**ked with drugs..most don't have access to medical healthcare..

AmosFishon:
Factors that are responsible for homelessness in Neywork are not the same with that of Lagos.
American society is where real capitalism plays out. Housing is very expensive in New York , and most people want to live in this cities instead of moving to the suburbs where there is relatively lower housing price, Because of this, the price of housing will fly above the average affordability level.
People are homeless not because there are no Houses but because there is a low supply of housing.
Note: In urban planning parlance, housing supply is the number of affordable housing units available at a given time.
It is also important to note that no society no matter advanced can fully solve it's housing problems. Housing problems are wicked problems, from the streets of London, to the 4th avenue in Neywork down to the magnificent buildings of Paris they abound.

Kobojunkie:
In the entire United States of America, there are approximately 750,000 homeless people. Compare this number to Over 24 million homeless in Nigeria , with over 10 million of then children, and tell us please how this is a balanced comparison being made here.

AmosFishon:

Imagine someone living in Nigeria with 50% of the population living below $1 per day pitying US. Lol. The average income for poor people in US is $12,000 annually.

Forget YouTube oga. Go and read about the real reasons from reliable sources. Search coalition for the homeless on Google. Most homeless are either exconvicts, drug addicts or mad people. Although few are truly homeless.

History555:
It's unfortunate most nigerians think its until you are living in the streets that you are homeless.

Most fail to realise that most nigerians can't leave on the streets because he ain't safe and our culture frowns at it.

There are many nigerians leaving with neighbours, friends and family who ought to be homeless

There are nigerians leaving in houses and still owing months rent and you think they are not homeless

There are nigerians leaving in houses that they don't look forward to going home to at end of day. Yet u don't think they are homeless.

AmosFishon:
A lot of people think about politics and society with the implicit assumption that all people are quintessentially similar.

In the US, the conservative flavor of this is “anyone can succeed if they apply themselves/work hard.” The liberal flavor is “anyone can succeed if they have the right training/opportunity.”

I’m gonna hit you with concrete brick from Reality: not everyone has middle class motivations, ambitions, and behavior. Some people do not fit into the societal model. They cannot live responsibly and you cannot train them to be useful.

The homeless population is not “regular folks who don’t have a place to stay.” There are a small number in that circumstance, but the rest are people who are socially maladapted. For various reasons they cannot maintain a place to live. This may be mental health, drug addiction, actively wanting to live on the side of a mountain (you’d be surprised!) or some other thing.

Many of them will bite the hand that feeds. They will refuse your help.

As a society, we have to make a hard choice about what to with this group. Do you let them fail? Do you institutionalize them? These are difficult things to wrestle with, but they underlying the fact that if you want this group to conform with the societal model, they’ll need to be supervised full time. There’s not necessarily a right answer - you are either respecting their right to suffer and sit in their own feces, or imposing your will upon them just to make everyone else feel more comfortable.

Most people from western countries live in societies that have some strain of individualist thinking. No one wants to admit that some people just suck. We’d all prefer to think that everyone is inherently good and has intrinsic value.

What are you doing to make her a hopeful country?

Remember you're also Nigeria (a part of the hopelessness)

baby124:

In the US no one can afford to even house you! Think about that and let it sink in!

History555:


You are wrong. There are people in America that are squatting with friends and families, sleeping on the couch.

You need to check the definition of a decent home then you will know many nigerians are homeless

Example i visited someone living in barracks, when i was pressed, he told me to cross the road and relieve myself. I asked him wat if it's no two, he said i will still cross road, only this time i will enter bush. I asked what if it at night, oga u go still cross road. He went on further as you can see we no get toilet and we cook outside so u can piss or shit outside.

Is this person not homeless

FreeIgboho:


This is not true. They force them indoors. Or you’ll be hearing of homeless frozen to death. There is homeless then there is mental illness and drug abuse. There’s no comparison between poverty in Lagos and “poverty” in US

Abfinest007:
shack is considered homeless in abroad not like 9ja .not homeless like homeless

The word is LIVING not leaving...

RodgersAkpafu:

Can never happen in Nigeria ?
Lmao
You never see anything ooo
The hunger that shook Nigeria during the pandemic eh
It was unmatched
Eventually when the palliative warehouses were exposed
What happened ?
That's right

I get it
Tbe USA is not all sunshine and rainbows
Person fit fall on bad times see pepper there

But you see Nigeria, or even most of Sub Saharan Africa
The level of suffering is on another level.
I'll always tell those as the lower rung of the ladder to try the USA and see if they have the chance to

The goodies of Nigeria is beyond reach for most Nigerians
Just that those who want to jaa should have realistic expectations

louqas:


You can never see a man that has 2020 toyota in Nigeria queue up for food stamp....never
The reason is simple....the american got the car on loan.... the nigerian most likely paid for it..such a person is most times buoyant enough not to need a food stamp.

Kabaz2:
Did you notice how their homeless people looked?

GetMeRight:


No, they can't. Their government won't allow such structures, they have "standards". That's the beauty of living in Nigeria, you can build according to your financial capacity

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

Peace1993:
Lol, this you wish for yourself is loud o. Cos i have seen a homeless man that said he had not taken baths in the last 2 months, telling in advice, after shaking hands with his benefactor.

I am sure it is only a MAD man in Lagos or Onitsha or the almanjiris that could be so vulnerable to an extent of not taking bath that long.

Go to YouTube and you would pity the US society .

ThatFairGuy1:
That's to tell, the deed is everywhere.

STOP BADMOUTHING NIGERIA you unpatriotic lot

Depressed101:
been homeless in the United state is the worst condition to find yourself, goto youtube and actually see how they live, then come back here and correct your misconceptions

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.

baby124:

No one can afford to accommodate you in the US. Do you know how many Nigerians have been kicked out or their so called friends disappeared on them in the US? Lol. Every minute you are idle in someone’s house is costing them money. You can’t turn on light and heat anyhow!

If you have family members accommodating a grown person like you in Nigeria, even if they are not very nice. Be grateful.
