why do you think you can't be homeless in America? Homelessness knows no body it doesn't care about race age or who you know. At least in Nigeria its summer for most of the year

Many times the homelessness is due to drug addiction which can destroy people and families.

There is high homelessness in countries like the UK as well just that they are better at clearing them. I do know there are shelters around US cities but sometimes due to high anti drug requirements people are not able to use them.

Summary let's tell our kids DON'T DO DRUGS. I've seen it tear families apart, men will be so desperate they will rather buy drugs than pay their kids school fees.

,you are right but not all of them are into drugs,but high rents has Driven many to the streets also

UK alone has over 3M homeless
US has by far more than 10m homeless people followed closely by UK and France.
I have never see a German or Italian been homeless no matter what.
He must have a home

Oh yeah not all but majority.

To be honest there is little reason to be homeless in America due to rent unless there are other compounding issues. There will always be cheaper areas which may not be ideal but will still be better than sleeping on the road. Unless there are underlying issues e.g. mental health or something else, if you are willing and able to work there is no reason to be homeless. You may not have you ideal job but I will rather stoop down and do a job I am overqualified for and move to a cheap area than sleep on the street.

There are also welfare programs for those who qualify e.g. section 8 albeit it benefits single mothers disproportionately more than men but it is also there to supplement rent. There is also the issue of divorce. You will be surprised to learn this is a significant cause of temporary homelessness for men as the wives end up with the home and kick the men out.

If you're Yoruba nko? Does it mean that you can't support Kanu because of your tribe or what, IPOB is beyond tribe, not all Igbos are Igbos and not all Yorubas are against it. Nonsense. The Zoo! is in your village

Having 3.5m homeless persons doesnt make the US the homeless capital of the world (whatever that is). What about other countries? how did you come up with this conclusion BTW?

Not only people on the streets are homeless. From my observation.... there are wayyy more homeless people in shelters than on the streets. Many residential buildings and hotels are shelters but you may never know...and many people living in shelters do have regular jobs but just can't afford to pay the bills.

Thank you my brother. U have just said it. When you are willing and ready to work, I don't see why u should be homeless. An average hardworking Nigerian, who has had it tough in naija, cannot go to america and be homeless. Most Americans don't know the opportunities they have. Some lazy Black's don't even want to work. They rather live on welfare, foodstamps and all, cos they know their government takes care of them. Some would say why should they work when "Uncle sam"would take their money. So they rather sit and live off the money given to them from those that are working hard. And then start to envy Nigerian immigrants or other immigrants coming in, working hard, paying their taxes and living their American Dream.

okay "bros" we never ever pray for any of our family to be homeless but I'm just saying to you that it can happen to anyone.

You come to America with plans and things can fall apart quickly. Your friend who told you to come suddenly stops taking your calls or kicks you out because you wore out your welcome. Or family members acting like you are still in Nigeria while you are busy finding yourself and they kick you out. Or you don't have savings while living from check to check and lose your job. Too many scenarios to mention. It will not be your portion when you get here no agbara olorun

you are right and wrong in this matter. Just because you had it rough in Nigeria doesn't mean the opportunities you think are boundless would be available to you. Most people who come here first off get a culture shock when you get indoctrinated into the system. Meaning you pay your way for everything and there is almost no hook ups and people go to jail if you are caught in corrupt situations especially if you are part of the "poor" class.
Most of the so called lazy blacks that you speak of are not at fault because there generations have been stripped of their dignity and their children don't know any better. Just like our parents instilled church and education in us, their parents were dealing with a system that was made to keep them down while hating themselves and being dependent on govt programs (for most anyway)
If you were born here, and your parents were the ones who came from Nigeria, ask them about what they went through and the sacrifices they had to make.

Anyone can be homeless I know because I have worked in the NYC shelter system and the stories you hear will have you shaking your head. Drugs violence child abuse lose of job lack of opportunity lack of family support laziness etc is all part of it and it surly can happen to anyone

it wasn't all rossy from the Beginning.. i was born into the struggle. it's all good now, so there's nothing that wants to happen that has not happened before.. believe me.

I like your optimism. There's hardly a homeless Nigerian in chicagoland. Couple of them that I knew were drug addicts. One died due to overdosing on heroin and I heard the other guy get deported back to Nigeria.
