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.
Have you seen an Almajiri with a hone?

How many Almajiri are in Nigeria?

Can you see the correlation that the countries at the top have large Muslim populations?

..with the hardship , hard economy and country now in Nigeria.. many people would not like to accommodate a person even their relatives or family member in their house..and would not want to carry their burden and problems in this hard economy and country

For sure, that data is incorrect. America has far more homeless people than Nigeria. Everywhere you go in the states has homeless people. I never see someone homeless in Nigeria for economic reason, na the mad/ druggies/touts people dey homeless for Nigeria. At least they go just dey owe rents and begging or commit crime.

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.
yes just the way some Nigerians where lied against for begging south Africans footballers left over food in akure.

Be like u no dey waka for early morning.

Just go through most bridges in Lagos around 6am and see people sleeping there.

There are lot of homeless folks in Nigeria, but that 4.5m was overstated.

people in idp alone is more than 4.5m all over the country and these people are homeless. China and India population is over 3 billion, the combined population of the homeless in these two countries are 4.2m less than that of Nigeria with 200m population with homeless of 4.5m. Something is wrong with Nigeria. People are continuing to be sacked from there homes mostly christians and Fulanis usually takeover such communities, instead of solving it, government and southerners would say is not true. Most Muslims killed in the north is as a result of the fight between hausa and Fulanis, Fulanis are killing hausas while Fulanis are killing christians and taking over their homes.

So the people still living in IDP camps in various parts of the north as well as Abuja are what? Please clarify us

Quranic students and Northerners in the south doing seasonal work are ninety percent of homeless in Nigeria but the country has a housing deficit too.
