Guzape is one of the areas in Abuja, I will recommend for anyone who wants to invest in Abuja real estate. Other areas include Katampe and life camp. I love Guzape because of it hilly topography. Well done Willie
We should move away from being locked away in gated communities and gated houses. We should build HIGH quality mixed use mid-rise (5-7 story tall) buildings - increase the density, make the areas walk-able, pedestrian-centered, full of parks & green spaces and have lots of small businesses. Visit certain parts of Spain to see how amazing things could be.
I couldn't agree with you more. Unfortunately, most Africans have a deep hatred of high density living, even though density is the only way to make cities walkable and livable for the majority of citizens (who don't even own cars).
@@WillieFungo We can't rely on others to do it. We should be the ones to bring about the change we want. Once people see a working model, they'll learn to like it. No, they'll DEMAND it in other parts of Africa/their country.
Abuja wasn't mapped out for high rising building, it's on the master plan, the city is supposed to accommodate just 3.5m people, making high rising will defeat that purpose
Remember Abuja Nigeria Master plan was designed from part of Washington USA, Paris France and Brazil capital, how ever Abuja still going through development stages, if the authority stick with Abuja masters plan the city will be among the most beautiful cities in the world, good work, brother
This houses were built with cash , no loans to pay back , yet Africans will always hate on themselves, African is too backward, Africans against Africans everywhere in social media
Very very nice properties, they just need the same energy on the manicure of the grass and keeping the neighborhood Seren and the they would rival anywhere in the world big time.
I liked the street that had trees which provide shade. I also like when I saw sidewalks. I notice they plant palm trees like where I live. I know that palm trees are clean because you only have to worry about the fronds dropping off, but they don’t give shade.
Thanks bro I have been watching your numerous videos on Africa I must state here that you aren’t bias as many others which I know, you are doing a great job in projecting the continent in the way it should. Thank you am subscribing right away 🤛🏾
Sir Bob Geldorf, once said,( We white people feel uncomfortable when we see African people living like us). Responding to a question about the depiction of Africa as always hopeless on Tv. In the 80s, he spends more time in African countries and concluded that the discrepancy between what he saw on the continent, and what was shown on tv (only ghettos), is because of the above reason. The comment below proves that.
This, ladies and gentlemen, is what a neighbourhood looks like when you've got people with money, but no class. Thanks for the video bro, appreciate it.
The owners of these homes don't live in other countries. Well, maybe, a few of them live in other countries. Nigerians who live abroad can't afford to live here. Although, this is just an upper middle class neighborhood. I live in this neighborhood.
In America you loan money from the bank to build or buy a house then you start paying the bank with high interest for 30 years but in Nigeria, you build your house according to what you can afford. No borrowing of money from the bank and no higher interest rate or forsclosure if you cannot afford to pay the bank to worry about. So Nigerians are really trying. I love that country. I just pray things to return back to normal so we can all live in peace. God bless Willie for his interest in going to video Nigeria without being scared of what people think about Nigeria. Thank you Wellie.
@@anneebiefung8591 Africans can’t even appreciate their own , too much I know it all, some of this people in the comment section don’t even have a place to sleep, Nigerians build there houses with cash ,no loans , respect to them
In theory, all cash, sounds good, but I’m not so sure. Where I am from, we have a mixture of “ build as you go” as well as low interest American style loans. It’s not an all or nothing approach. Can see the benefit of both. I think the thing that sets the Americans apart, which works, is that they used their government over decades to build a large middle class which they could then tax. The middle class in America really pays the bills for the country. So while the Average American does not live is such grand oppulance, neither does he/she live with a lack of services. The actual system ( while it’s not perfect) works for a broad cross section of American life. What I mean is, you can be poor by American standards but still have electricity, running water etc. and The Americans have a pathway to higher education for those who want to take advantage of it. That’s what I mean by a system in place. Take my sister in law for example. She came to the states with Nothing, enrolled in community college, lived humbly and just took her time piece by piece… today she is an OBGYN. So, the Americans do have a way to achieve if you have no money… you just have to be motivated. So, as an immigrant to the United States, I have to be honest about the country. If you aren’t intellectually lazy you CAN achieve here.

There are WAY better places in Nigeria than this place. I was actually expecting to see one of those places, especially when being compared to Beverly Hills. If you search Nigerian Mansions for sale or maybe even Eko Atlantic (just to name a few) then you'll see the difference.

Really? No one is considered undesirable or not fitting in? Like in the US? Isn't that because the "undesirables" can't afford to live in such decadence and opulence compared to the rest of the population? If the poor start building mud huts and robbing the rich people, you'll see how quickly it becomes "us vs them". Also, pointing out that Nigeria's answer to Beverly Hills is "24/7" electricity just wreaks of white Western privilege, which is on full display as I watch your videos.
