13% of Nigerians are homeless, this is the highest percentage on the planet.
TVC News Nigeria gives us a report on homelessness in Nigeria.
Nigerians often move to big cities in hopes of finding prosperity and opportunity. However, many of these individuals find themselves struggling to adjust to city life. This can be attributed to a number of factors, including the high cost of living, the fast pace of life, and the lack of social support systems. Additionally, many new arrivals to cities are not educated and able to properly communicate, which can make finding a job and getting around difficult. Most suffer abuse and are forced to work dangerous job for little pay.

Homelessness in Nigeria become the highest in the planet that is very worse of us. The rate of poverty is too much, no jobs, standard of living is hard. Something must be done it is getting worse people are suffering. May God save us all
The statistics given in the news may not be right because the level of rural to urban migration it’s really cause for concern.
The cost of living in this country is too high, many people can’t even afford rent for God’s sake
The government needs to provide quick measures to solve this because this is not good at all
People need to be provided jobs before they can be able to afford rents and other expenses, the government should work on it
More people are moving to big cities but does the so called big cities have housing projects enough to accommodate the influx of people
The government is not doing enough for we the citizens at all, how can people still be homeless in this modern world. They should do better
That’s over 10% of the population. These are the rationale behind crimes and its increase.
Omo this number is too high for a self-acclaimed “giant of Africa”, they should put more effort into making sure this figure reduces
One thing I have come to discover is the fact that most people who seek for jobs lack matching skill for the job. The people who migrated from rural to urban areas that experience homelessness are either without a relative they can put up for a while or financial capacity to rent a apartment in the urban areas.
People should learn to make themselves conversant with wherever they find themselves, so they’ll be able to get jobs
People should learn to live according to their income and reduce their lavish lifestyle; when they do that, homelessness will be reduced.
I’m sure we have one of the highest amounts of homeless people in the world because this figure im seeing is very alarming. This isn’t nice and should be fixed asap
Omo this is a lot oo that is why so many crimes are being committed, especially when walking along the bridge at night
Most organisations in Nigeria underpay their staff. Now imagine living in an expensive environment; the best thing is to live where suits your budget.
The Government need to put in more effort provide a lasting solution to solve problems these people are facing…. not a good news! . what a poor record for a country that claim to be the “Giant of Africa”.
Government should ensure they provide free or affordable houses for people; this will help the less privileged lot
Our bad government and poor economy is to be blame for all this. These homeless people later end up being theft and engaging there self in bad gangs just to survive whereas, our society keeps getting rotten government really needs to interfere.
With the way our economy is now rate of poverty is getting high, no jobs, standard of living is hard. These people migrating to city also want to earn good living and live a better but the country is really hard making people to suffer and become homeless. May God help Nigeria.
Unrealistic expectation hurts. Moving to a new place is also not a bad idea, but while doing that we should be prepared for the unexpected.
However, some sincerely need help.
I hope some NGOs come to their aid before they lose hope in humanity.
It is most unfortunately that a country like ours that has enough resources for self sustainable will have 24.4 million Nigerian homeless.
Unfortunately, alot of Nigerians lack shelter. The government is also not doing enough to curb this menace. Government should build some houses for the less privileged ones, so that it will help reduce their burden of living.
Is too bad, homeless in Nigeria, a country that is rich in natural resources yet the government cannot manage it well for the betterment of the country. What a shame
It’s so sad that with all the wealth we have in the country, Nigeria still has the highest percentage of homeless people
This a terrific number of homeless people 24.4 million is a lot then I imagine I think the government have to see to it
Is just so bad with the riches and wealth Nigeria have we are still homeless
