Homelessness In Nigeria And The Need To Help Victims by wwsurfers(m): 11:10pm On Jul 01, 2023
The homeless in Nigeria are up to 13% of the population. That is well over 25 million people.

Homelessness is in different shades, as some people hang with others and others are without homes, and are out in the streets ... sleeping rough.

Homeless people are vulnerable and way more exposed to violence. There are reports of rape of unhoused women and girls, and violence on homeless men. Homelessness also makes young homeless girls go into prostitution, and make men amenable to vicious acts.

The effects of homelessness are numerous. A lot of homeless people struggle with depression, devastation, gloominess et cetera. The sun heats them; the rain beats them and they lack a good environment for proper hygiene et cetera. It's no wonder homelessness easily makes people mentally sick.

Unaccommodated people might be perceived to be lazy people, but as our world is a complicated place; so is homelessness. They are not necessarily lazy people. Circumstances of a complex world can steal people's homes, sending them out into the streets to live in poverty and a harsh environment. Some causes of homelessness in Nigeria are banditry, high-cost of living, bad governance, lack of affordable housing, lack of social housing, low pay, life-changing events such as accidents or illnesses, death of a guardian or bread-winner, flooding, migration et cetera.

It is important for us to help people without houses in whatever ways we can. Try to help today.
