Yaoundé Cameroon vs Abuja Nigeria
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 июн 2024
- During my stay in Cameroon, I couldn't resist the allure of Yaoundé. This ancient city, adorned with lush hills and verdant landscapes, instantly reminded me of Kigali. The upper district of Bastos, a hub of vibrant nightlife, upscale hotels, and opulent residences, including those of numerous diplomats, stands out as the crown jewel of Yaoundé.
French reigns as the official language in Cameroon, but the neighbourhood of Obili is a testament to the country's linguistic diversity, hosting the largest anglophone population. English and Cameroonian pidgin (creole) are widely spoken and understood. A fascinating linguistic development in Cameroon is the emergence of a hybrid language, blending French, English, and local dialects. The culinary scene in Cameroon is a true reflection of its cultural diversity, offering a vast and varied cuisine that I believe is unparalleled in Africa.
Conversely, Abuja is a mixture of solid planning and a typical sub-Saharan African city. The people are equally diverse, with English as the official language. However, most people speak Nigerian pidgin English (creole) or a variant of English. Abuja's central area is dotted with trees, wide roads, and carefully planned boulevards and avenues. It is in the savannah and hinterlands, with a balance of rainfall and sunshine. As with the rest of West Africa, there is no winter. Instead, there are two seasons: rain (wet) and dry.
Abuja has a metro system, which the government is trying to sell to the people. Nigerians are unfamiliar with the concept of a public transportation system. Despite the vastness of the city, it lacks both public transportation and a standardised emergency system. The city is the fastest-growing in Nigeria, doubling in population within the last decade.
Let us know what you think in the comment section.
Point of correction. I am a Cameroonian based in Nigeria. Yaounde can only be compared with cities like Calabar, enugu, kaduna etc not Abuja
No. I have visited Yaounde and toured throughout Nigeria. Yaounde cannot be compared even to Calabar, Enugu and Kaduna. You can compare it to Borno State in Nigeria. 🤔😑✌️
You should be comparing yaounde and Enugu not Abuja
@user-ce6mk8tr1p
Yaoundé can be compared to Abuja. There are many areas where Yaoundé come ahead of Abuja.
Thanks for stopping by.
The comparisons were about two national capitals!
Enugu is a regional capital!!
I imagine you mean Enugu, let alone Abuja, is good enough to compete with Yaounde, but that wasn't the vloggers intention!!

Don't mind these Generator Republicans. All they're good at is looking down on other African countries. Ils sont foutes@BantuCityDiaries
I like it. Not biased. Intelligent comparison. Come to think of it, Southern Nigeria and Cameroon are very connected. In 2005 I was there for three weeks, noticed Cameroon learn everything about Nigeria even in schools. Quite impressive.
@agadezthoughts
So true. They are very connected. Most people in Cross River State have roots in southwest Cameroon. They even have mutually intelligible languages.
@BantuCityDiaries Likewise, most people in Cameroon especially the English speaking Cameroonians have roots in Cross River State/South Southern part of Nigeria too.
@realebonyqueen7485
It is actually the other way round. If you care to watch, we shot a two episode documentary in Cross River which were published on our main channel. See the link below.

Those Cameroonians were actually Nigerians in the 60s and before then. And that was why Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe's political party was named "The National Council of Nigeria and the Cameroons (NCNC)", which they all voted in Nigeria's elections. It was only due to referendum that they mistakenly chose to vote to belong to the Cameroonian divide and ceased to be Nigerian citizens since the 60s.
@dermotwallace5533
I was referring to their indigeneity, not their European-demarcated borders. Yes, the 1960s plebiscite decoupled southern Cameroon from Nigeria, uniting them with the French Cameroon. I touched on this in my video comparing Douala vs Lagos (you can watch if you'd like).

I am a Cameroonian living in South Africa. You are correct my brother however i think that Yaounde housing and road infrastructure is shameful while Abuja is one of the well-planned cities in Africa
Yes the metro has started running again, but you were wrong in saying Abuja has no intercity rail. Actually there's the Abuja-Kaduna State train service since over 7years
@mrnaija101
You are absolutely spot on. A single intercity rail between Abuja and Kaduna has been there long before the Abuja metro. You are 10000% right, and I was flat wrong.
Thanks so much for correcting me. My sincere apology.
@@BantuCityDiariesalways make your research before doing your videos
@tundebakare6887
I did my research; you didn't. You claimed Abuja has more Christians, which is untrue. Missing Abuja's limited Abuja-Kaduna rail system doesn't constitute a lack of research. Your submissions, as evidenced by your numerous comments, demonstrated a limited understanding of Abuja. You should not be the one telling me to do research.
@@BantuCityDiaries your submission about Abuja having more Muslims than Christians is not true. There are more Christians in Abuja particularly in most North Central Nigeria than any northern region of Nigeria
@@BantuCityDiaries the Karu satellite town which is the biggest in the Amac has more Christians than Muslims and also Gwagwalada area council and bwari has more Christians than Muslims.

Abuja is NOT home to more Muslims, as the indigenous people of Abuja, the Gbagis are mostly Christians. Don't come from Cameroon to change our narrative please.

Nice job 👍. Abuja has an intercity rail network from Abuja to kaduna and the intracity metro isnt just from the city center to the airport, you can also connect from the city center to idu then from idu to Kubwa suburb.
Your Yaounde is miles away from Nigeria's old capital Lagos in terms of development not to talk about Abuja.

@@BantuCityDiaries don't forget that at point in time the English Cameroon was part of the Nigerian extended territory given that there was a political party called the democratic party of Nigeria and Cameroon (NCNC )
@tundebakare6887
You are something else. My other videos have already documented this.
The Cameroonian pidgin is so simplistic in nature that it makes it very easy for Cameroonians to understand any form of pidgin being spoken out there. Even the Caribbean patois and the Sierra Leonean Krio. However, Cameroonians understand Nigerians very well, even though the reverse isn't the case. And when I say Cameroonians, I mean just the English side of Cameroon. As history will have it, the English part of Cameroon was part of Nigeria for 46 years. So basically, we have a connection. We have been part of French Cameroon for 63 years. This means for over 100 years, just like the Israelites, we have been in bondage for over a century in two places we have never liked being a part of thanks to colonialism. We would have been okay without colonial influence, but shit happens. We can't even be our own.

Is Yaounde the capita city of Cameroon
@sppower4456
Yes, it is.
Bro everything you said about Abuja are all lies
@ekeemekaeric3603
Everything? Even that Abuja is Nigeria's capital? That's very interesting, lol!
Abuja was not named after an Hausa individual. It was a small village inside the area that was later named Abuja in its entirety.
@rotimikayode1072
The name Abuja was coined from the Hausa language and derived from Abubakar-Ja. Abubakar-Ja is derived from the name of a person called Mallam Abubakar JA. Abubakar is an Islamic name. Simultaneously, the Hausa language interprets the word "JA" as red or yellow, symbolising Mallam Abubakar's light skin tone. He was called Abubakar-Ja. Abu is the diminutive of Abubakar; the JA was added to form the name Abuja.
Why are you making assumptions about something you don't understand? Go do some reading, and thank me later.
@@BantuCityDiariesThat is a historical fact, not sentiments. You are absolutely right with your account.

Yaounde or Abuja does it really matter my people? Let's embrace Africa and aim for a borderless continent. We are one people why the division in the comment section it's sad😢
@christellesafricanlifestyl5834
African is not an identity. It never was and never will be. Africa has always had borders, and there should always be boundaries. What Africa should do is re-demarcate its borders to reflect ethnic identities, republics, or statehood as they were pre-European adventure (slavery and colonisation).
We can never be the same, as we are not the same. However, we should strive to work together by strengthening what binds us against what doesn't. Striving for a single African nation is naivety at its finest.
I am a Nigerian of Igbo descent and identify more as an Igbo person than a Nigerian. Nigeria, in fact, is an obstruction to my identity. How, then, do you intend to nationalise Africa when the European-created countries have people who don't accept each other as one?
PanAfricanism was a placebo sold to ex-slaves in the Western hemisphere who had no connection to Africa but a need to align themselves by skin colour.
@@BantuCityDiaries Go read more about the African people and their history.
Why will someone compare Abuja with Yaounde 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Very poor analysis and inaccurate information which is evidence of no research. What yardstick did you use to arrive at the present government being better and achieving more than the others in the past 12 years? Inaccurate information on the railway line and Abuja metro line. Could not provide population census of the two cities, etc.
It is very annoying to even dare to compare Abuja to Yaounde, Yaounde is a village to compare with Abuja, no one does that.
This man !!! so you are still on the go? I last saw you in Botswana 🇧🇼 now you are in Cameroon 🇨🇲 😅😅
@austinestar1940
I still am, lol.
That comparison is not well placed. Abuja is newly developed city after the capital was moved from Lagos. On the other hand Yaounde is an old city.
@aquinasntab71
Cape Town is hundreds of years old. Still, it is 100 years ahead of Abuja on everything.
London, Berlin, Tokyo, Paris, and Seoul are over a thousand years older, yet hundreds of years ahead of Abuja.
How old a city is does not matter.
Lagos is old and still far ahead Yaounde in terms of infrastructure and development.
You need to make proper research before passing your information. You were mostly not correct in many of your presentation.
Decent comparison.
But some of your information about Abuja is incorrect.
Abuja has intercity rail and it's a standard gauge double track rail system which connects it to Kaduna (another large Nigerian city)
The road that connects Abuja CBD to the airport is 10 lanes and not six lanes.
Electricity in Abuja is not as bad as most may seem. The fact that Nigeria is said to have issues with electricity doesn't mean that all 230m Nigerians are having that challenge. There are parts of various cities around Nigeria that have at least 20 hours electricity each passing day (except there's a general grid downtime) besides. There are estates in certain Nigerian cities that run their own electricity grid to ensure 247 access to power supply.
In terms of the look and feel of a city and advance infrastructure and high-end homes, Abuja is light years ahead of not just Yaounde but also Douala as well. I'd probably compare Yaounde with Benin city, Nigeria or Kumasi in Ghana. Certainly not an Abuja comparison even though both cities are the centre of politics for their respective countries.
For the shopping mall. Please share pictures of the shopping experience in Yaounde which you said is better than anything you've seen in Abuja.
Once you take off the CBD of Yaounde with the few adjourning neighbourhoods where politicians reside. The rest of Yaounde might not be more developed by Ile Ife or Ogbomoso. Cos majority of the 4.6m inhabitants of Yaounde are not living in the best of places around the city.
Even Douala which in my eyes is more modern than Yaounde still has most of the city lacking proper infrastructure. The only nice bits are around the seaport and airport which are not far from each other.
But in terms of the political situations of both countries. I agree with you and in terms of attitude of the citizens i also agree with you. Truly, Cameroonians are more law abiding and orderly that Nigerians. And politically there's freedom of speech in Nigeria much more than almost any other African country and even some of the developed world.
Nigerians are vert expressive and wouldn't mind opening their can of worms in public when they talk about their political leaders. But they can also be very patriotic as well
@Uty-yo9np
You make such brilliant points with incredible precision that even though I may disagree with some peripheral components (like the Abuja airport's six or ten lanes. They are six; the adjacent lanes are for the settlements within that axis, they don't necessarily count as additional lane based on road network system), I'm hugely hesitant to bring them up as the overwhelming characterisation you penned there makes them look meaningless.
Thanks for stopping by, I enjoyed reading everything you wrote there.
I was waiting for him to show us the shopping mall I yahoude he doesn't know after south Africa Nigeria has more shopping malls
@tundebakare6887
For Yaounde Mall, please see the link below.
ruclips.net/video/AFOf-POEUec/видео.html
@@BantuCityDiaries airport road is 10 lanes. Made up of six express lanes and 4 service lanes. They are not district roads.
In Nigeria, most 10 lanes roads are designed with service lanes incorporated.
That's like calling the highway 401 within Toronto Ontario 10 lanes. When it's actually 20 lanes and even more in some sections. Cos the lanes have been carefully separated into Express lanes and service lanes.
Road designs across the world vary. In equatorial guinea for example. They have "adjacent lanes" like you put it to connect the communities.
For Nigeria and some other countries. These are part of the technical description of the roads.
Or are you suggesting that Abuja and Yaounde's airport roads are identical in width since you said they are both 6 lanes
@@BantuCityDiaries I have watched the video on the mall in Yaounde and I haven't seen what makes it better than malls in Abuja. (Take note malls in Abuja and not just one).
So I'll assume you haven't really been to the malls in Abuja. You perhaps went to a supermarket and decided that's what Abuja's, malls looked like so I'll help you out:
There are 6 very prominent and large malls with multiple anchor tenants such as ShopRite and they are situated on airport road, wuse zone 5, Apo, Jabi lake mall, cedi plaza.
There's also Dunes and a host of other malls around the Abuja city area.
So I suggest you visit Abuja and ask for these places and be the judge of what you see in those malls and compare with the one which you shared the link.
What I'm willing to give to Yaounde over Abuja might just be the stadium. But everything else, it's day and night difference as it's not at all close. The Abuja road network is one which Nairobi, Accra and Abidjan can't match at all. The only cities in Africa that can match Abuja's road system are Johannesburg, Cape town, greater Cairo (areas around the new development, 6th October city and the new capital of Egypt under construction). Let's not even get started on sidewalks, trees, road detailing, neighbourhood parks (so many of them), etc. The list goes on.
And for the population, at 4m for Abuja, I believe this does not include the far flung satellite townships. Cos of those are added, abuja becomes Nigeria's second largest conurbation as you can drive upto 80km on a continuously urbanised zone which starts from Suleja through Zuba, Kubwa, maitama, AYA, Nyanya and Mararaba. At least 60km of that drive will be on a flawless 10 lanes express road with multiple flyovers that begin from Nyanya and run all the way to Zuba.
Nice though
But how would a normal country run a government for more than 10 yrs
@user-hc5ci8ks2r
Well, the former German chancellor Angela Merkel ruled for almost 17 years. The UAE and its emirates are lifelong governments. Xi Jinping of China has been there for over 10 years with no sight of ending, as has Vladimir Putin.
It is not often the longevity but the benevolence and dedication to one's people by the person in charge.
Initially I wanted to believe that you are objective and fair minded, how ever, this your reply really betrayed your true thoughts. If a country has a truly democratic system and the citizens chose to elect the same person for eternity,then it's ok. Where a particular person keeps winning elections because the system is flawed,then it means the Will of the people doesn't matter. Therefore,no matter how good that eternal leader is,then they people are in bondage.

There are some errors in this comparison. First of all, Yaoundé is not the most populated nor most developed city of Cameroun, douala is. Second, the images were made not to show the beautiful part of Yaoundé... all I saw was the best part of Abuja against the worst of Yaoundé. Even when you talk of the trainway station what you show is not Yaoundé. I know Cameroon has some problems But Yaoundé doesn't lose to Abuja, nor Douala to Lagos. And just to prove my point even the big malls you spoke of about Yaoundé you weren't able to show because it's not very far from downtown. Nigeria I already has the highest economy in Africa. If you need to hide the best parts of Cameroun before comparing the two cities then it lets me know we're not that bad indeed.

Yaoundé has overtaken Douala in population. See the links below. Although you make excellent points, which I agree with, I apologise for not showing the best parts of Yaoundé. However, the bits shown of Abuja aren't its best parts either.
I'm afraid I only have to disagree with two points: Yaoundé has overtaken Douala in population, and I did not highlight the best parts of Yaoundé. For the latter, my sincere apology: I will do better next time.

@@BantuCityDiaries Liked your answer. If you want we could do another video together I'll be glade to help... like when my country is spoken of
You are comparing the incomparable
How do u say Nigerian Abuja is more corrupt when Nigeria has successfully changed from one democratic govt to another with the hitches
@BRICKStv9864
It would appear that your measurement of corruption is based on the transfer of power from one president to the next. Unfortunately, that's not how you measure corruption.
W
hat democratic transition are you talking about? The one that seeks to actively exclude all Ibos -25% of the population- from central governance through criminal gang ups? Go and rest.
A city is measured by human welfare, not by infrastructure. Yaunde is better.
@Chukwudi-ze6li
You make a valid point. It is Yaoundé, though.
Parochial assessment
Is so disrespectful comparing Abuja to Yaounde, Yaounde can only be compared with Osogbo the osun state capital not Abuja.
Your coverage of Abuja was not representative. There is really no basis for comparing Abuja with Yaoundé.
No basis for doing what?. This video was done by one of yours, a Nigerian who probably lived in Yaounde for some time. He knows better than you, so sit quiet
Please leave Nigeria alone, we beg 🙏🏾

Abuja is the sixth largest city in Nigeria not third. Do your research well

Abuja is alo a hilly city
@IkhideroJupitus
Abuja's topography is characterised by savannah and crystalline rocks, not hills. Whilst Yaoundé, on the other hand, is characterised by hills and rainforests.
Stop comparing cities, African RUclipsrs! Each city in the world has it's own uniqueness and cannot be adequately compared. It's like saying "comparing Paris to New York", each has their vibes and are both good.

BCD's response: Why not? Comparing means looking for similarities. Why shouldn't that be done?
You wrote: "Each city in the world has it's [sic] own uniqueness and cannot be adequately compared."
BCD's response: You have a skewed definition of what comparison is all about. I think you are using "critiquing" and "comparing" interchangeably. Even so, both are absolutely healthy.
You wrote: "It's like saying "comparing Paris to New York", each has their vibes and are both good."
BCD's response: There you go; you have just indulged in comparing. Each has its own vibe, and both are good. Comparing does exactly that, highlighting their variants, unique features, picturesque landscapes, traditions, and so on. What could be wrong with that?
Come to Abuja and see yourself than trying to get more viewers with no evidence
You gotta compare Yaounde to Ibadan or Enugu. It doesn't come close to Abuja.
This your Abuja development comparison with previous administrations is such a fallacy.
What’s the fallacy called?
You lie Abuja has more Christians thàn Muslims I'm from Abuja by the way (indigíene)
@tundebakare6887
I understand your frustration, bro, but I was not directing that at the indigenous Abuja people. I was talking about Abuja's residents. The state of origin, or in this case, the land of origin, Abuja, is not a state, and that framework does not apply to Abuja, so every resident is considered an Abuja native and can run for every office. The city's residents include more Muslims than Christians.
You can do your research.
Thanks again for stopping by!
@BantuCityDiaries the Karu satellite town which is the biggest in the Amac has more Christians than Muslims and also Gwagwalada area council and bwari has more Christians than Muslims. In the outskirts of Abuja like zuba and Suleja madalla I wil say there's a share of 50/50 population of both religion
@@tundebakare6887with this your name you are not indigene and the man may be right .
I am not nigerian,but I have always thought that abuja had more muslims than christians coz I always see people dressed like arabs ushering their cows right in the middle of the city.They are given priority even on highways.That is something you will never ever see in eastern or southern africa.
Don't mind him
Nobody is even addressing the central issue: why should resources from all over the country be concentrated in one area called capital?
It happened before in Nigeria where oil revenues from the eastern region was concentrated in Lagos in the name of capital. Now the Yorubas have seized the city asking everyone to leave and demolishing the homes and businesses of Ibos. Now you people have started again with Abuja which properly speaking is the capital of Northern Nigeria, except for those deceiving themselves.
Oga kano is no where popular that Abuja.
Christians are more in Abuja
U can't even compare this City to Benin City Nigeria not 2 talk of Abuja 😂
Its a lie. Abuja has equal number of Christians and Muslims.
This is an insult comparing abuja to younde
Not much difference
@thabo3866
I agree.
Lol look at dis dirty city u comparing with abuja 😅
Younde at least grew naturally and is organically linked to the surrounding peoples and cultures.
Abuja's only raison d'etre is to share oil rent among the corrupt tribal pseudo-elite that gather there.
There is no linkage to anywhere except maybe Kaduna and nomadic herders whose cattle roam about the major roads, no viable business except vote trading and other complex transactions that add no value to anything.
@user-zx9vk4ks6z
You are 100% correct! Brilliant stuff!
Who is comparing a nation with 250 million people with that of just 30 million people hmmmm people di try. Do you even know the meaning of economy? Economy is the people. Nigerian has the right to be richer than Cameroon in all style, do you know how much taxes the Nigerian government received from 250 millions of people each year? Do you want to compare it with that of a small population like Cameroon hmmmm, please compare Nigerians with countries in Europe with the same population
@jerrodmboh8236
No, sir, I don't know what economy is. So, let's use your economic formula.
Example one:
Algeria has a population of 46 million, a gross GDP of $266 billion, and a per capita income of $5,722.
Your mighty Nigeria has a population of 225 million, a gross GDP of $252 billion, and a per capita income of $1,109.
Example two:
South Africa's population is 62 million, with a gross GDP of $373 billion and a per capita income of $5,975.
Example three:
Switzerland = 8 million, GPD gross = $870 billion, per capita = $99,000.
West Africa's population is 449 million, with a gross GDP of $561 billion and a per capita income of $1,200.
I hope your brilliant knowledge of the economy, against my lack of it, now daunts you.
Thanks for stopping by.
Always boasting vacuously to obscure rational discussions. When was a credible census conducted that confirmed that Nigeria has 250m people? Even if it does, that population is fractured along ethnic, religious lines and other irreconcilable differences which has claimed millions of lives, over 3 million lives in 1966-70 genocide alone. Right now, there are dozens of interminable asymmetrical armed conflicts going on in the ill conceived contraption of a country. A large number of the so-called population is actually nothing but illiterate unemployed and unemployable almajiris used in vote rigging but with zero contribution to the economy. Now you want to compare with Europe!. Meanwhile hundreds of school children are routinely abducted by ransom -seeking groups with no consequences. How much organisation is needed to house, feed, provide medical care for hundreds of children in captivity and what banks process the ransom payments through what system undetected? Bomboclats!
163 million people are in heavy poverty 😂🤣🤣 & close to 10 million Nigerians have migrated to Cameroon for greener pastures so which country is better now ??😂🤣🤣 So Na Cameroon & Ghana wuna dey compare Nigeria with 😂😊 Compare Nigeria with South Africa let see, or Egypt and Ethiopia etc. Nigeria a country of close to 300 million people but yet unable to meet to standard 😂😅😂 it shows if Cameroon gets that population they will do better than Nigeria 😂😅😂
U lie!! If u give Cameroon 200million population Cameroon will be gone 😂 I wish Nigeria is just 30milllion people with our natural resources omo will for be like America
You really sound bitter and spiteful, your information is both incorrect and biased!!
HE IS TOO OLD. WHAT IS WRONG WITH AFRICAN LEADERS? 😢😢😢
Yaounde is not that useful .
You are a liar . Yaoundé has never overtaken Douala . Yaoundé is no way near Abudja . An other lie is that majority of people are bilingual in Yaoundé, that far from the truth. In inner you barely find a person who fluent in English. They all speak French
