Nigeria has the world’s greatest number of homeless people. Within the nation, 24 million people don’t have homes, data from World Population Review has reported. According to the report, Nigeria is the most populous country in Africa, and this presents an epidemic of homelessness throughout the nation. It stated, “Over 24 million people are considered homeless, with many more not having appropriate access to a proper dwelling that has access to some of the most basic services. With this being said, Nigeria is not as deep in poverty as others may think, as there are a lot of resources contained within the country. Much of the issue is due to access to wealth, which is often exploited by other countries or even their state. “Furthermore, because of its large size, Nigerians experience a huge influx of both immigration and emigration, which changes the ownership of houses frequently. This could be a good thing, in theory, but usually, this also means that natural gentrification occurs, as investors are looking to build more elaborate and expensive houses to procure a higher rental income or to flip into a more profitable business venture.”
