A Nigerian man living in the United States has shared a shocking revelation about the harsh realities of finding accommodation for those who have recently relocated. In a candid disclosure, he described how difficult it was for him to secure a place to sleep when he first arrived in the country.
Paying $80 for an 8-Hour Stay in a Sleeping ‘Box’
The man recounted an experience from several years ago, when he had to pay $80 to sleep in a “pod-like box” for just 8 hours each day. This fee only covered the designated time period, and once the 8 hours were up, the occupant had to vacate the box to make room for another person who had also paid for a brief respite.
Limited Space with Minimal Comfort
The sleeping boxes, as described by the man, were built into a room, with several of them arranged in close proximity. Each box was closed off with a wooden door, offering a small, confined space that could only fit a single mattress. The conditions inside the box were far from comfortable, lacking basic amenities such as a fan or other appliances that one might need for a restful sleep.
Homeless for the Rest of the Day
After their allotted time in the sleeping box was up, individuals were left without any accommodation for the remaining hours of the day. This meant that they essentially remained homeless for the majority of the time, despite having paid a significant amount for just a few hours of rest.
The Struggles of New Immigrants
This story sheds light on the often-overlooked struggles that new immigrants face when trying to establish themselves in a foreign country. The high cost of living, coupled with the difficulty of finding stable housing, forces many into precarious living situations, such as the one described by the US-based Nigerian man.
