I don't believe this stat. Why are most of the numbers round figures with exception of two? What's the source of their data? Lagos and Kano being the most popular states in Nigeria can't have 500k homeless each. You most find homeless people in the cities not villages.

By the way, I don't like the way Nigeria handles its demographic data. There's so much exaggerated information out there. And many other underreported. Some people just cook up data to get funding and then corner the monies without addressing any gaps.

Thank God Nigeria didnt make the list

How can USA not be number one on that list
Including Canada

I don't know about the rest of the countries on that list. But you see that 4.5m they wrote for Nigeria, it's a lie from the pit of hell.

Cos it's almost impossible to be homeless in Nigeria, you'll sha see where you'll squat and if nobody in the city accommodates you, there's definitely a space for you in your village to lay your head unless you're an orphan.

USA has more homeless people than Nigeria.

In the words of Emilokun "na statistics we go chop"?

Naija dey top chart for bad statistics always we need change oooo

The stats for Nigeria are exaggerated. How did these Movafuhkz come up with them numbers? They whipped it outta their cracks??!

This is straight up bull shi!

Naijaaaa no dey carry last

Quite a number of homeless folks up there.

Little plans to build houses but many plans for nuclear weapons and utilization.

Misplaced priorities.

Why should Canada be on the list ?

Waiting to see APC miscreants say the data isn't correct and Tinubu has provided homes for 100million Nigerians.

APC, the party that multiplies IDP in Nigeria.

Rubbish dot com people

when you see stats like this just know nigeria will be top 5

Omololupromise:
Thank God Nigeria didnt make the list

Number 4...check again...no 4

Nigeria always in the news for bad reasons.

Let's clap for Tinubu and APC for bringing us to this level.


😂😂😂😂😂

I just knew Tinubus God forsaken Nigeria must be inside

On all bad indicies we dey top chart. Worst city to live.

reno will explain the post

How peter obi caused it

Most of these homeless people are in Lagos.
They go just comot from their village because they hear say money dey Lagos, Zero plans, zero strategy, zero education, zero money, Just jump into a night bus, come to Lagos sleep on the streets rob innocent people and complain about smelling drainages

USA got a lot of facilites to temporarily house homeless people....even then about 771000 americans are homeless.

Unfortunately, this is not true about Nigeria.
Where are the 4.5m people?
Very inaccurate figures

U09ce:
I don't belive these stats

Then you are not a realistic person..I am sure you still think your dad was a rich man 😂😂😂

Your mouth like perfect grammar, Mr brighter Grammar. Nigerians dwell too much on trivial things. Even the owner of the language didnt sweat as much as the dumpsters.

Nazgul:
Please spell words correctly when you post, and try to use perfect grammar and punctuation.
22. Don't ask Nairaland members for contact details (email, phone, bbpin) or investments.

Probably most homes in Nigeria don't qualify as homes and the occupants are tagged homeless

quadraheem:

Very inaccurate figures

They are the folk who live under the bridges, live on the street, maybe sleep in someone's compound....or at bus stops at night.

Gaza, shebi Palestine is not there?

That Nigeria own is pure lie from God knows where. That figure is exaggerated

I know we can't disappoint.
We are trying
By the end of this tenure we will reach number one

Our darling president is working

Please don't asked me if I have read the article.

Because I know somebody will ask.

We are voting APC come next presidential election.

Lagos may have a high percentage, but other cities in nigeria too have the same problem as well.

who counted the ones in Naija.. all these social stats get as e be..
we really need the postponed population census now.. we can not be running on estimates.. it will be giving issues with budgets in a sensible environment

This is very inaccurate, it's borderline fictitious. Homelessness is not an epidemic in Nigeria. No matter how bad things are, you'll still be able to squat with someone.

Majority of the homeless people you see are mostly mentally unstable people. In Nigeria, even beggars have homes!
