Fyi University of Abuja is not even among the top 10 universities in Nigeria. Abuja is designed to be just the political capital and not a commercial city .. its mostly civil servant living there.. Finance ,trade, business and the oldest and top universities are distributed in other states of the Nigerian federation . Nigeria has many champion cities outside the capital so abuja is not congested and does not have to be our star city. Make una continue to compare😅😅😅😅😅
Help me ask them o..lol They are massaging their ego and think they can rob shoulders with Nigeria. By the way, it is only Accra they have? In Nigeria, we have Lagos, Ibadan, Uyo, Port Harcourt, Onitsha, Kano, Asaba etc
The comparison is flood because unlike Ghana which has everything focused in Accra, Nigeria is different, 1. Abuja is just mainly the capital where all federal government headquarters and a lot of embassies is at and has good infrastructures and roads 2. Lagos is the business and entertainment hub of Nigeria where you will find the most private companies, Lagos GDP is bigger than the combination of Ghana, Benin, Togo, Senegal, Niger and Liberia's GDP and it is bigger than 47 African countries GDP individually 3. Akwa Ibom, Delta and Port Harcourt is where most Oil and Gas Companies are in Nigeria 4. Calabar is known as the Tourism hub of Nigeria 5. Kano is known as the Agricultural hub of Nigeria and so on, there are alot of states that plays different key roles to contribute to Nigerian economy, But it seems like most things in Ghana are happening in Accra
Which city in west Africa is more naturally and beautifully endowed than Calabar? Calabar is in the same league with Cape Town and Nairobi when it comes to tourism. What you don't know is bigger than you. Also Uyo city in Akwa Ibom state is 💯% safer than Accra, and the city of His in Plateau state has light 100% than Accra and the whole of Ghana. Development in Nigeria is diversed and it spreads across cities unlike Ghana that's only Accra. Nigeria na your mate?
Well I am happy with your content, I just want to add that Abuja became the capital of Nigeria of recent compare to Accra that has always been the capital of Ghana in other words Abuja officially became the capital of Nigeria on December 12, 1991. Before that, Lagos was the capital. The decision to move the capital to Abuja was made in order to create a more centrally located capital that could better serve the various regions of Nigeria and to ease congestion and overpopulation in Lagos, which was the country's economic hub. The move to Abuja was part of a broader plan to decentralize the country's governance and promote equal development across Nigeria's regions
Well said. Which is why Lagos remain the main city for Nigerians in the minds of Nigerians because everything was put into its development including time, centuries in the making from the days of the BenIn empire of Nigeria and the trade with the Portuguese who were in West Africa 100 years before the British in the 1400s.
@@thepergolacompany Please tell Ghana to compare another area with any Nigeria state, every time it’s Accra vs Lagos , tomorrow Accra vs Abuja, another day Accra vs Port Harcourt, don’t they have another area to compare except Accra.
@@ngoziikemefuna500 True, you are very correct. In fact Calabar was an important place for the Portuguese who didn’t colonise us 100 years before the British arrived. They left their statues of the idols images of Christianity behind for the British to find. It was a capital during the colonial times. My grand father used to travel all the way to Calabar to conduct official business during the colonial era. The British colonisers took the capital to the North once and rushed it to Lagos out of fear of Muslims beheading them the day they lose it once it was clear that the Nigerian youths wanted independence. They wanted to be close to their little ships by the coast of Lagos to escape home to England as a get out of jail card. There were no little war boats with incredibly strong young black men spoiling for a fight and vengeance in Lagos to harass them in the waters of Lagos like in the Niger Delta that can be deployed all the way to the waters of Calabar to cut off their escape if it ever comes to a military fight for independence as some of the youths wanted back then. Some believed that there was honour in using the old ways for regaining our lost independence through bloodshed and some still do today even if they can’t turn back the hands of time. Getting to kill the people who killed your people in genocides on the battle field has it’s perks if you were able to do it while they were still alive. Nigerians already realised that Caucasians weren’t more intelligent or superior to Africans and were indeed physically or genetically weaker than Africans the moment they volunteered to go and die in the world wars of Europe and in every military campaigns the British dragged us to before our independence. Malaria also killed then with relative easy and they had to be carried around like useless excuses for men. Our kind did all the hard work and they just shouted out commands and took credit. Thankfully the British were reasonable unlike the French and we just talked for decades instead of fighting to gain our independence.
You need to travel from Accra to Abuja before you can make any informed comparison. As at today the developmental gap between Abuja and Accra is very huge despite Abuja being a fairly new city. What has a city ranking got to do with the ranking of universities in them or millionaires in them. And in fact there are more millionaires in Abuja than in Accra.
Hello Cyrus,I appreciate your attempt to be honest and transparent. That said, Accra doubles as the economic and political capital of Ghana, while Abuja is the political capital of Nigeria.Another important factor you have missed is that Abuja being just 32 years is a baby compared to Accra. Finally, in as much as I dislike negative comparison,I will advise that going to the two cities in person and having a feel of both places, will give you far more insight than you will ever get from a website. Accra is beautiful and unique in it's way, but I would love you to visit Abuja and spend a few days, before you do the comparison again. I must commend your objectivity though. I wish you and your channel the very best.
@@toontumnetworkbro. Greetings did you just said Accra airport is more beautiful than the new terminal Abuja international airport? Maybe you are referring to the local old terminal. because Abuja actually have two airport. I have see Accra international airport it is beautiful but small. the Abuja international new terminal airport is more beautiful bigger and having more facilities too... you dont have to take my word for its. maybe more research can help.
@@toontumnetwork I won't roast you cos you're my friend. But please try to do research before dishing out statistics on the internet. By the way of doing research, I mean traveling to those destinations.
My brother. Nigeria is a country with a large population. In Nigeria everything is not centred in ABUJA OR LAGOS. Some developments like universities that are rated in the world ranking are not located in any of the two cities. You guys are always trying to measure up with Nigeria. Market your country and let Nigerians market their country. Peace.❤
I agree there's room for improvement from both sides. But this constant and needless debate and competition is becoming increasingly irritating and CHILDISH.
They think that smearing Nigeria or matching themselves to Nigeria will make them feel good about themselves. Ghanaians are some of the people that have smeared Nigeria the most on the internet.
@@Moabayi-yf6ulwho wants to compare themselves with country that doesn't have common electricity and second most corrupt country in d world? Very poor security system and kidnapping everywhere, my guy stop deceiving urself. Even ur fellow Nigerians are running to Ghana because of bad security system and lack of electricity, do you knw that Liver brothers and PZ Nigerian has moved their headquarters to Ghana because of electricity? You are there typing nonsense.
@@jamesrobinsondankwah2838dey there dey deceive yourself. Google pz or lever bros nigeria. You listen to social media too much. Unfortunately if you do a little research you will be disappointed
Things I deducted from this video are; 1. Nigeria is less centralized, unlike Ghana that almost everything is centered in Accra. 2. Accra on average has the basic necessities, while Abuja lacks some, such as stable electricity and security. But when viewed holistically, Abuja has more modern infrastructures than Accra. 3. Price of goods and services are more expensive in Accra as compared to Abuja, despite Abuja having a wealthier population on average. 4. Accra is not just the political capital of Ghana, but the economic capital as well, whereas Abuja is just the political capital of Nigeria, with Lagos being the economic hub. 5. The major economic players in Accra are not indigenous, while in Abuja the reverse is the case. 6. Accra is the top destination for FDI in Ghana, while Abuja is not the top in Nigeria.
Anyone who thinks the major economic players in Accra or Ghana aren’t indigenes is funny… 😂. Also on average Accra has a wealthier population than Abuja. Just visit any economic stats site and learn one thing about Ghana we have a large middle class and salaries after tax are higher than in Nigeria in general. So the average person here isn’t struggling compared to… however Nigeria has many extremely wealthy and same for the many poor folks. Aside that all is correct
@@luckyawadzi3337lol! What is this? Interchange Kwa 🤣! Ghanaians are a very dull people, sorry to say 😂. Abuja has a functional metro rail system. It will take Ghana another 100 years to build such. Abuja has had it since 2019. You must be drunk man to even try to compare Accra with Abuja
You're wrong with the school system in Nigeria, Nigeria have a free education from nursery to secondary and government universities are subsidies by the government
I know this video is about comparing both capitals and ur assessments about both cities might be correct. It is very informative and I appreciate ur effort. But I feel videos like this create a misconception about Nigeria in peoples' minds and that misconception I think people are having is that Abuja defines Nigeria just like how Accra defines Ghana. In African countries most of the time the best things are always situated in the capital, the capital is where everything about that country happens and it usually has the most population, and also the only place where u can get a feel of urban lifestyle. But that is not the case for Nigeria. One thing about development in Nigeria is that things are a little bit more dispersed. For example university of Nigeria is not situated in Abuja or even Lagos, it is not even the best university in Nigeria. The best university in Nigeria is also not situated in Abuja or Lagos. Other things like the best football stadium, or the biggest company are not located in Abuja. I live in the southern part of Nigeria, Rivers state, probably no one outside of Nigeria have heard of this place and it's no where near the capital but here we still get a bit of an urban lifestyle. We have things like Drive-Through, Over-head Mono Rail system (though unoperational now because of the recession), stadiums, airports, seaports, parks, kfc 🍗, basically everything u can find in a capital city we have here, and we don't see Abuja as a goto place for business. My point is to address that misconception. Don't judge or measure our rate of growth or development solely by what u see in Abuja because the focus of the government right now is not on Abuja. The focus is to industralize other regions of the country and to keep many people out of Abuja as much as possible. Abuja is mainly for administrative purposes that's why u don't see many people or industries there.
Perfectly said. Talk of the best stadium in the country, give it to Uyo, Akwa Ibom state. The best state for tourism.... Calabar and Cross River state as a whole City with the best and coldest weather in west Africa and Africa as a whole..... Joe city in Plateau state. Cities with best GDP and great standard of living along with the commercial vibes.... PortHarcourt in Rivers state and Kano state as well. Zamfara and Gombe states in the north gives you the zoo vibes of Nairobi in Kenya. In terms of production, inventions and industrialization give it to Aba city in Abia state and Onitsha city in Anambra state. Almost all our 40 cities have airport each, In terms of estates and tourism give it to Enugu state, State with the highest number of hotels and restaurants.... Give it to Imo state in the east, State with the best road network in the country.... Akwa Ibom state Seaports.... Lagos, PortHarcourt, Delta etc. So you see? Development in Nigeria is spread everywhere, it's not just about Lagos and ABUJA.
Funny how u said accra have lagos vibes.. are you a Ghanaian??? Come stay for mainland to see for yourself..the comparison is wrong abeg no compare accra to lagos .. it’s not even comparable till u have an experience of living in mainland not island .. come trenches and see
@@SamuelIkpakalu aaah! See this illiterate o!!! Who told yo Accra is a city? Accra is a region just like Lagos state Ode! Ghana has 16 regions check Google if Accra is not one of them.pls do ur research properly before you argue stupidly okay. Mind you regions are just like states in some countries. If you do ur research, you will not call Accra a city. Inside Greater Accra, there is a city called Accra just there is Lagos inside Lagos. Guy I knw Lagos pass u wey you called urself a Nigerian.
When Nigeria played Ghana during the past world cup qualifiers. One of ur journalists that travelled to Nigeria for the game admitted that the airport in Abuja was better than kotoko international airport when asked on live TV by a Ghanaian TV host. The video is here on RUclips. Funny thing is that only 2 out of 4 stages of the Abuja airport was completed then. But bro u just sat there and made ur own conclusions without even doing a proper research.

I have been to both, Abuja is more well planned, one thing I noticed about Accra, is only the major roads that are tared and properly fixed but in Abuja all the roads and streets are all tared with pavement. Abuja is better planned
Please can you stop this comparison, Ghana should not compare with Nigeria, everyone of you used the same method, by saying someone recommended the comparison, you said Ghana and Nigeria should be doing business together, but recently a Nigerian woman went to Ghana to sell hair, Ghanaians beat her up injured her and sent her out of Ghana, you think we have forgotten, you do things and forget, our payback day is coming, you think Nigerians have forgotten, we will payback Ghana for their evil ways, remember Ghanaians are in Nigeria weaving furniture and baskets in Nigeria, we will payback just like Ghana must go.

I have never see a Nigerian blogger , come out to compare ghana and Nigerian. But Ghanaian also do that. Remember the way Nigerian is arranged is totally different from Ghana. Try to know more about something before posting. And if you want to do research ,go to the country your self not online.

you can not compare heaven to forest. Man, don't waist your time comparing Abuja to forest. Even as a fact that Abuja is a new capital city in Nigeria, comparing Abuja to Accra is a complete waist of time and effort.
Overall great job. However you completely missed the age of both cities. Abuja is very young compared to Accra. You also missed the fact that Abuja is the first major city in Africa that was planned before construction started. You also missed the fact Abuja is not considered an industrial city in Nigeria.
@@Trigger_the_Spirit_man It's relevant because for Ghana, almost everything takes place in Accra... whereas for Nigeria, things are distributed all over the different cities in Nigeria, especially in Lagos, Port Harcourt, Kano, Kaduna, Aba, Onitsha..etc...

Abuja is mainly Political capital of Nigeria and I once heard from a politician that Nigeria gov. Did not want to industrialise the capital just like Washington DC or Beijing China. I live in Abuja and I love it
I am a Lagosian and I visit Abuja when visit Nigeria on holidays. I left Lagos because it was an extremely busy mega city with people running rat races as early as 4:00 AM and I sat down watching busy people going about their daily routine at 5:00 AM one day and I said that’s it. I need a change of location for a while and I was off. I still enjoy visiting Lagos the city of my birth. I will always love Lagos more than any Nigerian city for unapologetically biased reasons. I was very impressed with Abuja the first time I saw it before leaving Nigeria. I couldn’t believe that any African country has the capacity, knowledge, capability and the money to plan and develop a capital city fresh from the jungle and actually build it in record time. I grew up with relatives visiting Lagos and cursing it for having all of Nigeria’s money spent on it’s infrastructure and development as they claimed in my childhood. But when I saw Abuja for the first time? I understood what they meant and felt jealous and proud at the same time. Proud that my country built this and jealous of Abuja’s residents. I am also proud that many states of Nigeria has started to develop like a monster in steroids. I traveled a lot across Nigeria in my first visit back home since I left after almost 2 decades in December last year. I saw massive developments everywhere despite the bad governments. I understand that it was the citizens of Nigeria behind most of it all and the governments only played a little part wherever it was possible for them to embezzle our money. African politicians never do anything for free without a motive and they always have a culture of expecting their people to thank them for doing a job that they were paid and bribed to do. I will never understand that. Nigerian leaders are worse in this regard.
One thing to note is Accra has been the capital since it's independence while Abuja became Nigeria's capital not so long,so the time it took to develop the city is impressive compered to Accra , take lagos for instance which was the capital from independence you'll understand my point.
@@toontumnetworkI understand your subscribers compelled you do this comparism, but in my opinion, for the sake of the huge disparity in age between the two cities, comparing them is absolutely unrealistic. Besides, like you rightly pointed out Accra serves as both a political and commercial hub for Ghana, while Abuja is more of political relevance. Simply put, for example, historical Rome, like Accra should not be compared to say, latter city like New York or Hong Kong or even Shanghai.
@@joshlaryea9638 why can you compare the two. You still haven't given me reasons. By virtue of one being older to the other in itself isn't good enough grounds to not compare. But I appreciate your opinion. Thanks
Good job brother. We are all brothers of the same struggles. When African countries compete amongst themselves on which country is better, it is like a competition amongst dwarfs - Musiveni.
Hi here, from a Nigeria. I think the most important take away here is your final conclusion, which is we have more in common than what divides us…..However, it is misleading to compare Abuja and Accra. It’s like comparing London and Washington DC, comparing Zurich and Pretoria. Abuja was setup as a seat of power….for government offices etc… just like Benn in Switzerland, and to some extent Washington DC. Like u said Nigeria is big population and large land mass. A lot of industrialisation is spread and business is spread in other major cities -- Kano, Lagos, Rivers etc…. Unlike Ghana were most things seem to be concentrated in Accra
Compare Accra to Abuja is you not doing Accra good , if you have been to Abuja you will understand why you should not do that comparing , I have been to Accra before is just like one beautiful state in Nigerian not in the level of Abuja and lagos thanks
E be like say if una no talk or compare una self to Nigeria una no go feed😅😅😅😅😅 All this triggered because we get fine metro. I cant even imagine Nigerian bloggers using their time to be discussing other countries much less Ghana. But una 24/7 na Nigeria dey una mouth.. Anyway its a complement seeing you cant fo without talking about us...lol
Abuja is solely an administrative capital, it wasn't designed for the industries you are talking about. Abuja is neither financial nor industry in design and strictly political that services the needs of politicians and the others. So the comparison is flawed lol
Ghanaians will not kill me with their over hyping 😆😆😆😆😆 Comparing Accra to Port Harcourt, Comparing Accra to Lagos, Comparing Accra to Abuja. For Christ sake is Accra the entire Ghana?? Don't you people have other places in Ghana to showcase?? Imagine comparing Accra to Abuja 😆😆😆😆😆
Can you imagine? Everytime Accra this Accra that. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I went to the same Accra few years ago and I can assure you that Enugu is more developed than the dusty Accra. Take the tiny airport city away from Accra and you have another Niger republic 😆😆😆😆

Moreover, Nigeria's education system is both private and public at all levels. I don't understand this idea that you don't have a good educational system because of the preponderance of private schools.When it comes to education, no African country beats Nigeria. None.
Your comparison is biased,when was accra named the capital of Ghana?... Abuja is a new emerging capital city which is barely 32 years ... Accra has been the capital of Ghana for way too long when compared to Abuja.
Abuja as the Nigeria's capital is just thirty-two years old. Accra, Ghana is close to seventy years if I'm not mistaking and you didn't put into consideration too.
awesome podcast. i love it. but i think most of this site you use for stats are outdated data, you need to check whats currently happening in these countries expecially in nigeria because you are in ghana and you will definitely know whats up in ghana.
example those data you use sometimes are not trust worthy is that lagos and abuja just launch a new worldclass airport just some months ago and some medical facilities that just get up and running but those outdated sites will still be showing you nigeria situation 5 years ago
Accra is just another African city with unpaved dusty roads,littering, kiosk here and there,while Abuja🇳🇬is majestic an epitome of beauty and well organised.
@@toontumnetworkhe is right tho. I have been to Accra so I know this. Take the tiny airport city away from Accra and you have yet another Kumasi or tamale. The whole of Ghana looks disorganized and tacky like Kumasi. Your cities are not aesthetically appealing to the eye. I don’t know if it’s the architecture or the way you layout your cities,but clearly is odd. Most aerial of your cities is as tho you marinated decent areas with a slum. I guess building permit are not issued in ghana,anyone wakes up and decides to build their rubbish anywhere they like without caring how bad it’s makes that place looks. It’s rather obvious there is no form of city planning in Accra.
@@toontumnetworktbh I'm in Accra right now. The electricity situation (from the grid) in Accra is indeed better over-all than Abuja. However, I am shocked at how many roads off the main roads are unpaved dirt roads. Even in good areas. The open gutters are also something I am struggling to understand. They should cover them up, even with just iron grates imho. I live most of the year in Abuja and part in London, my hometown. What I do love about Accra, is the Ghanaian people and the overall vibe. Certainly not how it looks. Although, I do like the new high-rise buildings as they are modern and high quality. The truth has to be told. You need to visit Abuja to truly understand.
@@sylviasworld9397 it's a leadership problem that shouldn't have been the case. My podcast is sort of to indirectly bring certain key necessities to the attention of our leaders. Hopefully it works. Thanks for sharing
Can you guys stop this divisive nonsense you project to do the coloniser’s jobs for them to make money? How much do the pink man pay you guys to do these types of videos? Ghana is extremely poor compared to Nigeria. Ghana is tiny compared to Nigeria and it’s unfair to compare both capitals because Ghana isn’t even in a contention to start with. You can’t even compete Ghana to tiny Lagos a city in Nigeria which is the economic powerhouse of the African continent. We want videos that unites African peoples and not divide them. Compare Ghana to the coloniser’s cities in Europe instead. Thank you very much.
@@toontumnetwork Yes I just finessed watching it and as a Nigerian who grew up with Ghanaians in Lagos and had them as friends abroad, I am sick and tired of these comparisons because it has driven a wedge that would want dah lead to enmity between our brotherly nations if we are not careful in this generations. You just don’t compare a giant with a smaller sibling, it’s disrespectful and Nigerians are better then everyone else in their minds. Nothing can ever change that. They naturally sees these types of videos as attacks even before they watch it. Which is good for the colonisers. Africa must unite and see what united us historically. My family were trading and visiting Ghana centuries before the colonisers divided us into countries. Thank you very much for your quick response.
@@toontumnetwork I agree. But it’s our leaders who work for the west that should be put on their toes and they do not care about our peoples.

Abuja is designed primarily for administrative purposes. Other things are minor. The fulcrum of Nigeria is Lagos , the original capital. Abuja being landlocked was for a reason the reason the capital war moved from a state with Seaport ( Lagos) it was chosen for defense purposes. You can't attack it from the sea

Simple fact: Abuja has a master plan before construction started. It's like a house that has an architectural design. Everything is in its right place. How can you compare such a city to a chaotic city like Accra. Universities, hospitals are irrelevant in this context.
Most Ghanaians don’t have the privilege of traveling for Nigerians that’s their hobby, when you have visited Abuja before you won’t make this mistakes , Abuja that the govt won’t allow you do anything everything their is controlled by the govt , note no small shops on the street’s except for designated places

And you called this the ultimate comparison? Just day play! If you knew what to do, you'd give a brief history of the two cities, not just the established system in them. Abuja was founded just three decade ago. It is still undergoing development at its cradle. For size, compare Nigeria's first and still the economic capital city, Lagos, in terms of industry, public schools etc and come back...

You tried but your analysis is not really the way it should be done. It's like comparing lemon to guava. Accra is both the capital and commercial centre of Ghana. Abuja is the political capital of Nigeria just like Washington DC or Canberra in USA and Australia respectively. It is not and has never been a commercial centre. So there are no basis for comparison. it is like us Nigerians comparing your economy in Ghana to the GDP of Lagos State. That would be insulting. Don't you think? Nigeria do not concentrate all their amenities, education, infrastructures etc in one or two cities. You tried but next time, try and visit the city you want to analyse and feel the place and see for yourself before you go online. Thank you
Hey man, why Nigeria all the time fucus on other countries in Africa. The reason Nigeria is because Nigeria is destined to be greate so you like or not it is destined to be so
Richest cities ranking is very funny. Some of the richest persons in Nigeria live in Abuja but most people think Lagos is Nigeria capital so you find Lagos on most rankings

Make una continue to compare😅😅😅😅😅
Help me ask them o..lol
They are massaging their ego and think they can rob shoulders with Nigeria. By the way, it is only Accra they have? In Nigeria, we have Lagos, Ibadan, Uyo, Port Harcourt, Onitsha, Kano, Asaba etc
The comparison is flood because unlike Ghana which has everything focused in Accra, Nigeria is different,
1. Abuja is just mainly the capital where all federal government headquarters and a lot of embassies is at and has good infrastructures and roads
2. Lagos is the business and entertainment hub of Nigeria where you will find the most private companies, Lagos GDP is bigger than the combination of Ghana, Benin, Togo, Senegal, Niger and Liberia's GDP and it is bigger than 47 African countries GDP individually
3. Akwa Ibom, Delta and Port Harcourt is where most Oil and Gas Companies are in Nigeria
4. Calabar is known as the Tourism hub of Nigeria
5. Kano is known as the Agricultural hub of Nigeria
and so on, there are alot of states that plays different key roles to contribute to Nigerian economy, But it seems like most things in Ghana are happening in Accra
It is the same in Nigeria. Everything is concentrated in Lagos.
@@paintsildesmond8495 How is everything in Lagos?
@@paintsildesmond8495everything in lagos, oga where do you live
Calabar tourism hub?..pls tell me one upscale dining place in calabar?
Which city in west Africa is more naturally and beautifully endowed than Calabar? Calabar is in the same league with Cape Town and Nairobi when it comes to tourism. What you don't know is bigger than you. Also Uyo city in Akwa Ibom state is 💯% safer than Accra, and the city of His in Plateau state has light 100% than Accra and the whole of Ghana. Development in Nigeria is diversed and it spreads across cities unlike Ghana that's only Accra. Nigeria na your mate?
Well I am happy with your content, I just want to add that Abuja became the capital of Nigeria of recent compare to Accra that has always been the capital of Ghana in other words Abuja officially became the capital of Nigeria on December 12, 1991. Before that, Lagos was the capital. The decision to move the capital to Abuja was made in order to create a more centrally located capital that could better serve the various regions of Nigeria and to ease congestion and overpopulation in Lagos, which was the country's economic hub. The move to Abuja was part of a broader plan to decentralize the country's governance and promote equal development across Nigeria's regions
Well said. Which is why Lagos remain the main city for Nigerians in the minds of Nigerians because everything was put into its development including time, centuries in the making from the days of the BenIn empire of Nigeria and the trade with the Portuguese who were in West Africa 100 years before the British in the 1400s.
Was about to highlight this, good you’ve done a good job. Accra is older than Abuja by close to 100years.
@@thepergolacompany Please tell Ghana to compare another area with any Nigeria state, every time it’s Accra vs Lagos , tomorrow Accra vs Abuja, another day Accra vs Port Harcourt, don’t they have another area to compare except Accra.
Calabar was Nigeria first capital before Lagos and now Abuja
@@ngoziikemefuna500 True, you are very correct. In fact Calabar was an important place for the Portuguese who didn’t colonise us 100 years before the British arrived. They left their statues of the idols images of Christianity behind for the British to find.
It was a capital during the colonial times. My grand father used to travel all the way to Calabar to conduct official business during the colonial era. The British colonisers took the capital to the North once and rushed it to Lagos out of fear of Muslims beheading them the day they lose it once it was clear that the Nigerian youths wanted independence. They wanted to be close to their little ships by the coast of Lagos to escape home to England as a get out of jail card. There were no little war boats with incredibly strong young black men spoiling for a fight and vengeance in Lagos to harass them in the waters of Lagos like in the Niger Delta that can be deployed all the way to the waters of Calabar to cut off their escape if it ever comes to a military fight for independence as some of the youths wanted back then.
Some believed that there was honour in using the old ways for regaining our lost independence through bloodshed and some still do today even if they can’t turn back the hands of time. Getting to kill the people who killed your people in genocides on the battle field has it’s perks if you were able to do it while they were still alive. Nigerians already realised that Caucasians weren’t more intelligent or superior to Africans and were indeed physically or genetically weaker than Africans the moment they volunteered to go and die in the world wars of Europe and in every military campaigns the British dragged us to before our independence. Malaria also killed then with relative easy and they had to be carried around like useless excuses for men. Our kind did all the hard work and they just shouted out commands and took credit.
Thankfully the British were reasonable unlike the French and we just talked for decades instead of fighting to gain our independence.
You need to travel from Accra to Abuja before you can make any informed comparison. As at today the developmental gap between Abuja and Accra is very huge despite Abuja being a fairly new city. What has a city ranking got to do with the ranking of universities in them or millionaires in them. And in fact there are more millionaires in Abuja than in Accra.
Help me educate him
Hello Cyrus,I appreciate your attempt to be honest and transparent. That said, Accra doubles as the economic and political capital of Ghana, while Abuja is the political capital of Nigeria.Another important factor you have missed is that Abuja being just 32 years is a baby compared to Accra. Finally, in as much as I dislike negative comparison,I will advise that going to the two cities in person and having a feel of both places, will give you far more insight than you will ever get from a website. Accra is beautiful and unique in it's way, but I would love you to visit Abuja and spend a few days, before you do the comparison again. I must commend your objectivity though. I wish you and your channel the very best.
Thank you so much for your input and it's taken in good faith
@@toontumnetworkbro. Greetings did you just said Accra airport is more beautiful than the new terminal Abuja international airport? Maybe you are referring to the local old terminal. because Abuja actually have two airport.

My brother.
Nigeria is a country with a large population.
In Nigeria everything is not centred in ABUJA OR LAGOS.
Some developments like universities that are rated in the world ranking are not located in any of the two cities.
You guys are always trying to measure up with Nigeria.
Market your country and let Nigerians market their country.

Easy tiger. I think his analysis so far was on point. There's always room for improvement for both countries. We are both no there yet.
I agree there's room for improvement from both sides.
But this constant and needless debate and competition is becoming increasingly irritating and CHILDISH.
They think that smearing Nigeria or matching themselves to Nigeria will make them feel good about themselves. Ghanaians are some of the people that have smeared Nigeria the most on the internet.
@@Moabayi-yf6ulwho wants to compare themselves with country that doesn't have common electricity and second most corrupt country in d world? Very poor security system and kidnapping everywhere, my guy stop deceiving urself. Even ur fellow Nigerians are running to Ghana because of bad security system and lack of electricity, do you knw that Liver brothers and PZ Nigerian has moved their headquarters to Ghana because of electricity? You are there typing nonsense.
@@jamesrobinsondankwah2838dey there dey deceive yourself. Google pz or lever bros nigeria. You listen to social media too much. Unfortunately if you do a little research you will be disappointed
Things I deducted from this video are;
1. Nigeria is less centralized, unlike Ghana that almost everything is centered in Accra.
2. Accra on average has the basic necessities, while Abuja lacks some, such as stable electricity and security. But when viewed holistically, Abuja has more modern infrastructures than Accra.
3. Price of goods and services are more expensive in Accra as compared to Abuja, despite Abuja having a wealthier population on average.
4. Accra is not just the political capital of Ghana, but the economic capital as well, whereas Abuja is just the political capital of Nigeria, with Lagos being the economic hub.
5. The major economic players in Accra are not indigenous, while in Abuja the reverse is the case.
6. Accra is the top destination for FDI in Ghana, while Abuja is not the top in Nigeria.
I think I mentioned some of your points but all the same thanks for sharing and hope you've subscribed
@@toontumnetwork You did. I just summarized what I got from the video.
@@ekinematics thanks for sharing then....
Anyone who thinks the major economic players in Accra or Ghana aren’t indigenes is funny… 😂. Also on average Accra has a wealthier population than Abuja. Just visit any economic stats site and learn one thing about Ghana we have a large middle class and salaries after tax are higher than in Nigeria in general. So the average person here isn’t struggling compared to… however Nigeria has many extremely wealthy and same for the many poor folks. Aside that all is correct
@@goldboateng8073sis we have a higher population than Ghana so in reality the middle class Nigerians are more than Ghanaians 😂
Oga Cyrus u can never compare accra to Abuja. Abuja is far better beautiful than Accra Ghana
accra has the biggest interchange in africa ,do you have that in entire nigeria
yeah in many ways thats true but in some other ways Accra appears a notch better. Thanks my man for your comment
@@luckyawadzi3337lol! What is this? Interchange Kwa 🤣! Ghanaians are a very dull people, sorry to say 😂. Abuja has a functional metro rail system. It will take Ghana another 100 years to build such. Abuja has had it since 2019. You must be drunk man to even try to compare Accra with Abuja
You're wrong with the school system in Nigeria, Nigeria have a free education from nursery to secondary and government universities are subsidies by the government
i think i mentioned it but gave a little bit of difference in the two
I know this video is about comparing both capitals and ur assessments about both cities might be correct. It is very informative and I appreciate ur effort. But I feel videos like this create a misconception about Nigeria in peoples' minds and that misconception I think people are having is that Abuja defines Nigeria just like how Accra defines Ghana. In African countries most of the time the best things are always situated in the capital, the capital is where everything about that country happens and it usually has the most population, and also the only place where u can get a feel of urban lifestyle. But that is not the case for Nigeria. One thing about development in Nigeria is that things are a little bit more dispersed. For example university of Nigeria is not situated in Abuja or even Lagos, it is not even the best university in Nigeria. The best university in Nigeria is also not situated in Abuja or Lagos. Other things like the best football stadium, or the biggest company are not located in Abuja. I live in the southern part of Nigeria, Rivers state, probably no one outside of Nigeria have heard of this place and it's no where near the capital but here we still get a bit of an urban lifestyle. We have things like Drive-Through, Over-head Mono Rail system (though unoperational now because of the recession), stadiums, airports, seaports, parks, kfc 🍗, basically everything u can find in a capital city we have here, and we don't see Abuja as a goto place for business. My point is to address that misconception. Don't judge or measure our rate of growth or development solely by what u see in Abuja because the focus of the government right now is not on Abuja. The focus is to industralize other regions of the country and to keep many people out of Abuja as much as possible. Abuja is mainly for administrative purposes that's why u don't see many people or industries there.
You've said a lot out of which I'm going to take some advice from. Thanks for your input and hope you've subscribed
Perfectly said. Talk of the best stadium in the country, give it to Uyo, Akwa Ibom state.
The best state for tourism.... Calabar and Cross River state as a whole
City with the best and coldest weather in west Africa and Africa as a whole..... Joe city in Plateau state.
Cities with best GDP and great standard of living along with the commercial vibes.... PortHarcourt in Rivers state and Kano state as well.
Zamfara and Gombe states in the north gives you the zoo vibes of Nairobi in Kenya.
In terms of production, inventions and industrialization give it to Aba city in Abia state and Onitsha city in Anambra state.
Almost all our 40 cities have airport each,
In terms of estates and tourism give it to Enugu state,
State with the highest number of hotels and restaurants.... Give it to Imo state in the east,
State with the best road network in the country.... Akwa Ibom state
Seaports.... Lagos, PortHarcourt, Delta etc. So you see? Development in Nigeria is spread everywhere, it's not just about Lagos and ABUJA.
The fact is Accra has Lagos vibes, no city in Ghana has Abuja vibes, I am sorry.
Accra isnt Lagos vibes. Its more Port Harcourt vibes to be honest. I would compare Lagos more to Atlanta
Funny how u said accra have lagos vibes.. are you a Ghanaian??? Come stay for mainland to see for yourself..the comparison is wrong abeg no compare accra to lagos .. it’s not even comparable till u have an experience of living in mainland not island .. come trenches and see

I am a Lagosian and I visit Abuja when visit Nigeria on holidays. I left Lagos because it was an extremely busy mega city with people running rat races as early as 4:00 AM and I sat down watching busy people going about their daily routine at 5:00 AM one day and I said that’s it. I need a change of location for a while and I was off. I still enjoy visiting Lagos the city of my birth. I will always love Lagos more than any Nigerian city for unapologetically biased reasons.
I was very impressed with Abuja the first time I saw it before leaving Nigeria. I couldn’t believe that any African country has the capacity, knowledge, capability and the money to plan and develop a capital city fresh from the jungle and actually build it in record time. I grew up with relatives visiting Lagos and cursing it for having all of Nigeria’s money spent on it’s infrastructure and development as they claimed in my childhood. But when I saw Abuja for the first time? I understood what they meant and felt jealous and proud at the same time. Proud that my country built this and jealous of Abuja’s residents. I am also proud that many states of Nigeria has started to develop like a monster in steroids. I traveled a lot across Nigeria in my first visit back home since I left after almost 2 decades in December last year. I saw massive developments everywhere despite the bad governments. I understand that it was the citizens of Nigeria behind most of it all and the governments only played a little part wherever it was possible for them to embezzle our money. African politicians never do anything for free without a motive and they always have a culture of expecting their people to thank them for doing a job that they were paid and bribed to do. I will never understand that. Nigerian leaders are worse in this regard.
And high building are not allowed too
Are you saying government does not do business in Abuja?
One thing to note is Accra has been the capital since it's independence while Abuja became Nigeria's capital not so long,so the time it took to develop the city is impressive compered to Accra , take lagos for instance which was the capital from independence you'll understand my point.
Right...it has been the capital of Ghana since independence and it's an indictment on our leaders in how slow development has been here so far
@@toontumnetworkI understand your subscribers compelled you do this comparism, but in my opinion, for the sake of the huge disparity in age between the two cities, comparing them is absolutely unrealistic. Besides, like you rightly pointed out Accra serves as both a political and commercial hub for Ghana, while Abuja is more of political relevance. Simply put, for example, historical Rome, like Accra should not be compared to say, latter city like New York or Hong Kong or even Shanghai.

Hi here, from a Nigeria. I think the most important take away here is your final conclusion, which is we have more in common than what divides us…..However, it is misleading to compare Abuja and Accra. It’s like comparing London and Washington DC, comparing Zurich and Pretoria. Abuja was setup as a seat of power….for government offices etc… just like Benn in Switzerland, and to some extent Washington DC. Like u said Nigeria is big population and large land mass. A lot of industrialisation is spread and business is spread in other major cities -- Kano, Lagos, Rivers etc…. Unlike Ghana were most things seem to be concentrated in Accra

The decision to move the capital to Abuja was made in order to create a more centrally located capital that could better serve the various regions of Nigeria and to ease congestion and overpopulation in Lagos, which was the country's economic hub. The move to Abuja was part of a broader plan to decentralize the country's governance and promote equal development across Nigeria's regions
@@natsahjoseph2636Cape coast was the capital of Ghana before it moved to Accra
Moreover, Nigeria's education system is both private and public at all levels. I don't understand this idea that you don't have a good educational system because of the preponderance of private schools.When it comes to education, no African country beats Nigeria. None.
The level Misinformation about Nigerian that keep circulating is alarming!
If you're referring to my podcast...be kind to state which part of my delivery is misinformation? Thank you
We Nigerian caused it.
Abuja is just designed as political capital not a commercial city
fantastic analysis 👍👍
Thanks 👍
You are a very smart guy with your analysis and your stated fact in both countries, no win or lose, we both need to improve are countries
Thanks for appreciating my work. Hope you've subscribed
Your comparison is biased,when was accra named the capital of Ghana?... Abuja is a new emerging capital city which is barely 32 years ... Accra has been the capital of Ghana for way too long when compared to Abuja.
Great research, very educative, but you can do more with the airport aspect, as Abuja and even Lagos have new very impressive airport terminals.
Sure sir.... Thanks for your input and hope you've subscribed
Haaa when did Nigeria population grew to 323 Million?
Abuja as the Nigeria's capital is just thirty-two years old. Accra, Ghana is close to seventy years if I'm not mistaking and you didn't put into consideration too.
awesome podcast. i love it. but i think most of this site you use for stats are outdated data, you need to check whats currently happening in these countries expecially in nigeria because you are in ghana and you will definitely know whats up in ghana.
Sure...I'll look into that next time. Thanks for sharing and hope you've subscribed
sure, i subscribed since i watch the first videos on your channel. I love your content. you open our eyes to other african countries... i love that.
example those data you use sometimes are not trust worthy is that lagos and abuja just launch a new worldclass airport just some months ago and some medical facilities that just get up and running but those outdated sites will still be showing you nigeria situation 5 years ago
@@alchemist001 thanks..I truly appreciate it
It is deliberate. This Ghanaian RUclipsr is a bonafide charlatan. Ghanaians will do..:::: Anything to stay to stay relevant.
But my question to you is this, why do Ghana always compare them selves and their country with Nigeria?
Accra is just another African city with unpaved dusty roads,littering, kiosk here and there,while Abuja🇳🇬is majestic an epitome of beauty and well organised.
Have you lived in Accra before though?
@@toontumnetworkhe is right tho. I have been to Accra so I know this. Take the tiny airport city away from Accra and you have yet another Kumasi or tamale. The whole of Ghana looks disorganized and tacky like Kumasi. Your cities are not aesthetically appealing to the eye. I don’t know if it’s the architecture or the way you layout your cities,but clearly is odd. Most aerial of your cities is as tho you marinated decent areas with a slum. I guess building permit are not issued in ghana,anyone wakes up and decides to build their rubbish anywhere they like without caring how bad it’s makes that place looks. It’s rather obvious there is no form of city planning in Accra.
@@godwinsamuel8671 that's quite unfortunately coming from you. Thanks for your input
@@toontumnetworktbh I'm in Accra right now. The electricity situation (from the grid) in Accra is indeed better over-all than Abuja.
However, I am shocked at how many roads off the main roads are unpaved dirt roads. Even in good areas. The open gutters are also something I am struggling to understand. They should cover them up, even with just iron grates imho. I live most of the year in Abuja and part in London, my hometown. What I do love about Accra, is the Ghanaian people and the overall vibe. Certainly not how it looks. Although, I do like the new high-rise buildings as they are modern and high quality.
The truth has to be told. You need to visit Abuja to truly understand.
@@sylviasworld9397 it's a leadership problem that shouldn't have been the case. My podcast is sort of to indirectly bring certain key necessities to the attention of our leaders. Hopefully it works. Thanks for sharing
Nice one bro love from Nigeria 🇳🇬
Thanks so much and hope you've subscribed
Ghanaians fronting as Nigerians.😅
@@james56660 Exactly 💯 we know them. Very jealous and competitive folks.
Can you guys stop this divisive nonsense you project to do the coloniser’s jobs for them to make money? How much do the pink man pay you guys to do these types of videos? Ghana is extremely poor compared to Nigeria. Ghana is tiny compared to Nigeria and it’s unfair to compare both capitals because Ghana isn’t even in a contention to start with. You can’t even compete Ghana to tiny Lagos a city in Nigeria which is the economic powerhouse of the African continent. We want videos that unites African peoples and not divide them. Compare Ghana to the coloniser’s cities in Europe instead. Thank you very much.
But did you watch the podcast though? Because if you did I'm sure that wouldn't be your response. Thanks for sharing
@@toontumnetwork Yes I just finessed watching it and as a Nigerian who grew up with Ghanaians in Lagos and had them as friends abroad, I am sick and tired of these comparisons because it has driven a wedge that would want dah lead to enmity between our brotherly nations if we are not careful in this generations. You just don’t compare a giant with a smaller sibling, it’s disrespectful and Nigerians are better then everyone else in their minds. Nothing can ever change that. They naturally sees these types of videos as attacks even before they watch it. Which is good for the colonisers. Africa must unite and see what united us historically. My family were trading and visiting Ghana centuries before the colonisers divided us into countries. Thank you very much for your quick response.
@@alvanalvino I don't think we are divided by comparing our situations...it puts the other on it's toes to do more for it's people. Thanks for sharing
@@toontumnetwork I agree. But it’s our leaders who work for the west that should be put on their toes and they do not care about our peoples. That is why I always believe that us Africans need to unite. Thanks for your maturity and understanding. Videos about what we love in each others cultures and way of life to show how similar we are to each others would be nice too. I watch a lot of Ghanian contents including industry and agriculture to see progress that I am proud of because I believe that is Ghana and at least two other west African countries rise Africa will rise. Thank you very much for making your videos. I will watch other videos you have made.
@@alvanalvino Right and thanks for sharing
Ur street are totally bad
I love your program 🎊 🎉 🎉🎉keep it up I love ❤️ Africa
Nigeria is way ahead, Ghanaians never accept that
Ahead in certain aspects and behind in others
WHY IS IT THAT SOME NIGERIANS GET PISSED OFF WHEN ANYBODY SAY SOMETHING ABOUT YOUR COUNTRY? NO WONDERS THERE IS NO UNIITY AMONG YOUR TRIBES THERE. GHANA IS A SMALL COUNTRY, BUT NIGERIANS FEEL THREATENED WHEN WESAY GOOD THINGS ABOUT GHANA. WELL, DEAL WITH IT😂😂😂😂😂
Threatened for what????
We don't care about Ghana.
We're minding our business.
We're investing in our lives & future. That's why Nigerians are very successful globally. We hate this silly unnecessary comparison.
That's why we're calling him out.
Abuja is designed primarily for administrative purposes. Other things are minor. The fulcrum of Nigeria is Lagos , the original capital. Abuja being landlocked was for a reason the reason the capital war moved from a state with Seaport ( Lagos) it was chosen for defense purposes. You can't attack it from the sea
Got it now... Thanks for that information and hope you've subscribed
Exactly 💯 🎉
Brilliant analysts and well researched
Another Dense ….Oponu.!!!!!!😅
thank you for taking time to watch and leave a comment
Please it doesn't make sense an old Accra city to a relatively new Abuja.
Nobody ask you for all this comparison... I am yet to see Nigerians youtubers doing all this. Why do you Ghanaians RUclipsr always looking for a need for all this unnecessary comparison.
You don't need to look far just type it and you'll find many of such. But to be honest, if you watched my podcast I sure you wouldn't have said this. This was not the regular comparison. Thanks for sharing and hope you've subscribed
Why do you Ghanaians always make comparison with nigeria all the time dragging nigeria into silly Arguments.........Terrible...
Did you watch the podcast though because if you did I promise you that wouldn't be your response
Cant you guys make a video about just ur country , must u add nigeria in everything, Y'all just want to call nigeria anytime to give validation to your country or what , u will never see or very few Nigerians doing this , its always Ghanaians ,using nigeria for clout ,nonesense
Are you sure about your observation? Anyway I hope you watched the podcast. If you did, you wouldn't come to the conclusion.
Love your channel sir👌
i appreciate you as well, thanks
Your analysis is well articulated and unbiased. Though I am a Nigerian following you from USA
thank you sir
Simple fact: Abuja has a master plan before construction started. It's like a house that has an architectural design. Everything is in its right place. How can you compare such a city to a chaotic city like Accra.
Universities, hospitals are irrelevant in this context.
Wow... really?
Well done 👏 Analysis on point.
thank you
Most Ghanaians don’t have the privilege of traveling for Nigerians that’s their hobby, when you have visited Abuja before you won’t make this mistakes , Abuja that the govt won’t allow you do anything everything their is controlled by the govt , note no small shops on the street’s except for designated places
Thanks for your input and hope you've subscribed
Who wants to be kidnapped?
Nice one. Yes, healthy comparison. Keep it up.
Thanks and truly appreciate it
Stop these silly comps, makes absolutely no sense.
Ok
Wrong comparism because Ghana has only accra to talk about, Nigeria has Lagos, Ibadan, Kanu, Abia before you talk abour Abuja.
That doesn't make it wrong but rather insufficient. Thanks for you input
Most of the hospitals you mentioned in Abuja are privately owned. You left out most of the public hospitals. Well done.
Please don't compare Abuja and Accra. Abuja is a political capital. We have very urbanised and developed states in Nigeria.
got you my sister, thanks for your input
Both Ghana and Nigeria have areas that need improvements.
Definitely thanks for your input
Well done brother I love what you're doing the riavring should stop and hate between Ghana and Nigeria has to stop
Ur street roads are totally bad
I can't stop laughing out loud, why will you be comparing Accra with a digital Abuja city?
🤔
Sir there is a correction that needs to be made
Nigeria's population is 215 to 220 million people not 323 million
Obviously you should know that is a typo error if you listened carefully, cos he actually said 223 million people.
@@richardpyayok Ok
@@richardpyayokWhat kind stupid typo? That sends out misinformation about another country? Content Creators should proofread their work before posting. It's OFFENSIVE.
And you called this the ultimate comparison? Just day play!
If you knew what to do, you'd give a brief history of the two cities, not just the established system in them. Abuja was founded just three decade ago. It is still undergoing development at its cradle. For size, compare Nigeria's first and still the economic capital city, Lagos, in terms of industry, public schools etc and come back...
thanks for your input
Is it that this dude doesn’t have any other topics except these comparisons?
I do... And I think you're new to my channel. If you go through my channel you'll find I've only done three which has to do with comparison out of the 50. Thanks for sharing and hope you've subscribed
Wrong comparism. Abuja'is not a business city. It was not built for the location of factories.
You tried but your analysis is not really the way it should be done. It's like comparing lemon to guava. Accra is both the capital and commercial centre of Ghana. Abuja is the political capital of Nigeria just like Washington DC or Canberra in USA and Australia respectively. It is not and has never been a commercial centre. So there are no basis for comparison. it is like us Nigerians comparing your economy in Ghana to the GDP of Lagos State. That would be insulting. Don't you think? Nigeria do not concentrate all their amenities, education, infrastructures etc in one or two cities. You tried but next time, try and visit the city you want to analyse and feel the place and see for yourself before you go online. Thank you
Thanks for your input. Well appreciated
Bro you go explain tiered
Hey man, why Nigeria all the time fucus on other countries in Africa. The reason Nigeria is because Nigeria is destined to be greate so you like or not it is destined to be so
Help me tell him o
Richest cities ranking is very funny. Some of the richest persons in Nigeria live in Abuja but most people think Lagos is Nigeria capital so you find Lagos on most rankings
Very true.
The world hasn't caught up with Abuja. Many think Lagos is still the capital.
Great video.
