Olsem Wanem - Port Moresby's Homeless | Episode 10 Season 10

Having a roof over ones head is a basic necessity in life - the time is 1:25 a.m. and the Olsem Wanem team is out and about talking to people who are sleeping at bus stops and in front of shops who are regarded as homeless. Here are some of their stories.

PNG is bless with abundance blessing. Why people are homeless? We are not like other countries in the world where 75 or 80 percent of the land is owned by government whereas in PNG 80 percent is owned by people. Government should assist them back to their province so they can try to help themself to live a life. Very sad to see such in PNG..

[@heitchawa8447]

May God set you free from this life 😭😭💔💔 I also pray for God's protection and blessings upon you my brother's and sisters 🙏🙏🙏

[@florabadu8975]

Government should provide food van for homeless and build shelters, very sad 💔😢

[@agumems1420]

I'm sad of these guys.... Tell them go back to their province and find work.. 😢😢

[@EnochLaiam]

Tell your government to pay their airfares and send them to their respective province and villages. Ples nidim kain ol man lo go make use lo groun na stap.

Have faith in God many of us descendants of Papua New Guinea who live overseas could have been in that homeless position in PNG so so true.... I come from a father who was a Port Moresby homeless orphan child and stole to survive. if my father did not have faith and belief in Jesus Christ he probably would have been dead in Erima and I probably never would have been born. Be kind to someone because you could be the hand of God that feeds them. God bless you in Jesus name. Goodnight from Mackay Queensland Australia 🇦🇺

Sad indeed but their message are spirit and light....For all of us who have the shelters.

Our png government should consider this matter to provide or create opportunities to help, reduce this sit uation. Street people and educated people are also on street looking for opportunities ,they still wondering miracles will happen. But nothing, our government need to step up and create job opportunities for this citizen

[@sharonwmakita3884]

This is so heartbreaking 😭💔

[@footballfreak285]

In PNG, this is not something to be worrying about. Everyone comes from a place were there lands to make gardens, bushes to hunt, seas to fish... Short: customary land. This issue now depends on the person. Stop blaming the government for your own laziness. These people SIMPLY can not except the fact that they have no money and can not afford to stay in the city. Why can't you send them to their villages rather than looking for documentaries to create. This is useless. Go bek long ples!

[@marbowilliam8814]

Bro I understand where you are coming from but most of these people were born in the city and have lived there all their lives, their relatives in the village do not even know them, and for them to go and claim back customary land is difficult when no one knows you, that is to say that these people ever go back to their villages which would be difficult even for the PNG government to do considering the places which can only be reached by plane. And even after that some people's villages are far away from the town with airports and have to travel a fair distance by local PMV's. So sending them back to their villages would not be such a practical solution due to them not being known in the village and ofcource the money that would be involved would be a tremendous amount considering the number of homeless people in cities.

Strong young man they should be assisted by NCDC to send them home to their Province In PNG we all have free Land and Water -- go lo ples na holim ground

[@Pngcritics-ti9ke]

I think the nation is facing serious need for implementation of vagrancy act to control Urban drift.

[@Pngcritics-ti9ke]

In PNG there is no degree to say people are homeless. Those are mainly highlanders who all wanted to live in the city even when they don't have employment families there. It's a sick ideology. You just left your home province to be homeless, that is worse.

[@footballfreak285]

Does your government own all the territory in PNG? Or is there places like villages or customary lands?

[@lonewolfpng4633]

@@footballfreak285 There is vast amount of land owned by us not govt. But its an on going issues all around tge world so our leaders have to do something abt this.. So sad

[@footballfreak285]

If we talk about all around the world, then them having homeless people is true. Because literally they have nothing. Their government own everything. For us, of course it's sad to see such thing in the city. But look, as long as they have little to capitalize on, they are laziness. I'm not gonna feel sad for someone who is able. It's just making us fools. And the government will say, I didn't take your land, why are you blaming me for your homelessness?

[@JerryKailesi]

Stop giving burdens to the government just return home to your home province ground is there to work

[@joshuacamihau3395]

Sorry ❤️ love

[@lubunaaaru5933]

What has the government done about homelessness in the city or throughout nation,, so rich yet so poor.. corruption, corruption, corruption..

[@kelapeterrea8984]
