SEC-S17W2- "Homeless people in my country

One of the things that really bother me or give me a great concern in my society is whenever I see something that is not working as it ought be working. I will say one of it is the rise in homeless people in my society. I've actually come to discover that a lot of people does not want to help people that need most especially homeless people that will find in the street probably because of wrong perception that they have had towards them which should not be so.

Today I'll be showing my view and my perspective about homeless people in my country in Nigeria and what the government and also are going to force can do to make the society and the country a better place to be.

Are there homeless people in your country?

I will start by saying yes there are a whole lot of homeless people in my country in Nigeria. In fact I've come to discover that homeless people tend to be much more in numbers around cities than around towns and villages which I think should not be so. In my state where I stay that is kogi state there are a lot of homeless people that will usually see on the street.

I want to the question that usually come to my mind is to always want that don't they have parents don't they have families don't they have loved ones don't they have a home that coming for why are they sleeping on the street. But I've actually discovered that circumstances made them to be where they are today not that they choose to be where they are.

What do you think is the cause that leads these people to be on the street, homeless and without a family?

There are a lot of courses that I believe make homeless people to be on the street and without a family. Just like I said earlier A lot of circumstances that surround individual of them that made them to be found in that homeless state they are. Some of them might be probably because they lost their dad their mom their families so they have nowhere to stay.

So maybe probably because they committed a crime at home or in their villages or in town and they need to run for their lives. Tell me to my probably because of peer pressure and trying to make a living. Most of the time in Nigeria and my country where I come from one of the major causes that always make people to be homeless is when the lost their families and their homes in general.

Has the government tried to try or create decent shelters to help these people?

Where I can't really say about other countries but in my country Nigeria I don't think the government have really tried to help the holiness people as they should. Quite alright the government sometimes help them in making sure that they provide food for them sometimes but that is probably towards election period.

I've never had or seen that the government come up with a scheme or a policy that can help homeless people. Weather have I seen the government also come up with something like probably building a house for people that are homeless or opening an orphanage home to house homeless people it has not been done.

What could you propose so that these people do not remain in this dark world?

I will see one of the things I can propose that can be done to help people that homeless is everyone of us to collectively make the change. We should always help them whenever we see them on the street we should not look down on them as if they don't have a future or they don't have a place that can be better for them again. No matter the earth we can render for them whether big or small in times of food clothing money or anything that we can give that can be of help for them we should always give them.

I am inviting @carmari @noha26 and @lunasilver to participate in this contest.
