im from America and plan to move to Africa. to get back around my roots. Africa is advancing on many levels and world powers don't like that Great video
Africa has been advancing until you visit you will not know. There is nothing new about this video. Even way back in the 1980s many cities across Nigeria had amazing building and not everyone who owned the was stinking rich or a political criminal.
@@gerardonochie3408Exactly. Foreigners just didn’t know about the thriving Africa because their media did not want them to see it. Now that the people own their own media, the truth is reaching the world. Africa hasn’t just started thriving. It has been thriving in different ways.
Were expecting you, come and enjoy Africa. So the coups taking place recently don't send the proper messages to you guys or you guys just decide to ignore them? A guy just showed you a few estates and you're planning to come back to your roots😈
The tragedy of Abuja is that (as indirectly mentioned by the Estate Agent) it is basically built on and sustained by an economy of corruption and the mismanagement of Nigeria's commonwealth..to succeed in Abuja (and to even think about acquiring/renting one of the properties shown in this video) you are either in government or reliant on someone in government in some shape or form..the Estate Agent didnt tell us where or how a politician or General comes about 2/3/4m USD..and I just refuse to be a part of this travesty because simply put..because any one of those houses in Abuja is the reason why a road in Bayelsa in not tarred or a govt hospital in Zamfara does not have drugs.
You're so right. The common man buys into the hype and relocates here, only to be disappointed because he doesn't have the means to sustain a life here. The same people rushing down here are also rushing back to where they rushed from.
It is thesame allover the world! Is the western world any better? Atleast Nigerian politicians are building in their country, how about politicians in other African countries who buy expensive properties in New York, London & Paris which can be seized at the blink of an eye
This is one of the reasons why our politicians don't know most people are suffering in this country. It would have been great if this development could be spread across the federation. Much love for Abuja❤. At least is not as congested as Lagos and everywhere is cool and chill.👌
It is incumbent for every society, every country to advance, to grow! Development is always welcome, it can never be too much! I don't imagine why there would even be an iota of doubt that Nigeria(Africa) can and should have riches! 👊🏾🇳🇬👊🏾🇳🇬!
Abuja is hands down my favourite city around West, central and east Africa. The only African city that has it bit in my opinion would be Cape town and Egypt's new capital city (under construction - which seems to be taking on Abu Dhabi structurally). Abuja is a truly amazing city (nice greenery, roads and modern houses - there's always a new and amazing estate being developed). The centenary city and airport city when completed would add even more architectural value to Nigeria's federal capital city.
With the emergence of the Centenary city, Abuja will be really closing the gap between it and Capetown! You need to know it is also modelled after Dubai, Singapore and Monaco! God give you and me long life to live and witness the city! 👊🏾🇳🇬👊🏾🇳🇬!
@@aframaco9491 I agree with you. We'll both be alive, hail and hearty to witness and live in these choice places in our lifetimes. With the rate at which Abuja is developing, It should catch up with Cape town in terms of opulence.
Abuja is beautty but dont forget Cape town is also still growing and building cities within a city its not only Abuja that is growing bro be real@@deu8894
I swear to God.....the numbers of super cars and power bikes in Abuja is insane is like there vibe.......this is Abuja daily vibes....... hiking around the hills,super cars and bikes driving around the beautiful roads......that's just Abuja for you......and very friendly with the metro rail line......very fancy restaurants.....very modernise.....
Owned by mostly politicians who could have used our money to develop even Abuja better and other cities properly. Abuja is supposed to have an effective metro lines; under grounds. Fast trains to Lagos fast trains to PH. Because the city was planed many years after British Nigeria and at the time the city was built London and Newyork have had trains long and long before.
Yeah how they make their money..? Im just curious. Its again some uneducated people that got rich by corruption and buying big cars and big house like young boys... It show how chilfizh they are while all of their population are suffering...
Also there are public basket ball courts and football fields in a couple of places I saw. The only problem I think is some of the roads have to be maintained because of pot holes
I think guzape should have made it in here though. Guzape in my opinion is better than jabi in terms of presence if wealthy people and also more modern infrastructure and greenery
Not true. Guzape doesn’t have half as much greener than Jabi. Guzape is just starting to develop and doesn’t have that much greenery yet. Even infrastructure wise like amenities and proximity to town and market Jabi is still better
It is great to see that Abuja has a large investment that draws in the wealthy and affluent in our society. Realistically it is too expensive for the average person or middle class. With the economy of Nigeria at the moment and the high cost off food prices and fuel. Showing this video can only be for the extremely wealthy. You did not even show the areas where affordable housing are and how people are living in reality. It is good to advertise and promote our country. It is also important to give real facts.
Exactly and it's just 1% of people here who live like this. Mostly Northerners and people in government. I laugh when people say Lagos is better than Abuja. Yes, but only in terms of an environmental yardstick- traffic, crowd, etc. In reality, Abuja has A LOT of very bad roads. Only the expressways are developed. 99% of people here aren't rich. They're barely middle class and just surviving. There are hardly any good opportunities here except you're in government, employers don't pay well, businesses aren't doing so well because people are unwilling to pay for things. Everything is "expensive" to them. People are relocating en mass from this same Abuja Lagos people are running to, to the same Lagos they're running from. So ironic. Lagos is the place to be in terms of opportunities, career growth, businesses, talent, etc. Abuja, if you're not Hausa, Muslim or connected to any elite Northern circle, things will be very difficult for you to break into. It's strictly who you know and who knows you. The real movers and shakers are in Lagos, not Abuja as most people think. 99% of people watching and commenting on this video don't know that the have a 0.000001% of attaining anything like this in Abuja.

This is why naira keeps devaluing. Why should price tag on a property be in dollar when the currency in the constitution is in naira . It’s not only the government that’s behind the devaluation, we the people are also behind it
@@mercylove2011😂😂😂 Slip of tongue perhaps!! But in a way, he wasn't far off the mark, in the sense that President Shehu Shagari during his 4 years tenure, used to relocate to Abuja ( from Ribadu Road) and use it as a government retreat !! Abuja keeps growing!👌🏾 👊🏾🇳🇬!
You can get a lot for your money in Abuja, at least from a UK perspective, wow! Compared to London, even the most expensive properties in Abuja are still a fraction of the price of equivalent sized properties in London in similarly exclusive neighbourhoods . I live a short drive away from a road called the Bishops avenue in London which is for the uber rich, where 6 and 7 bedroom houses routinely sell for anywhere between £25 and £40 million depending on the size of the lot. £1 million in London will get you a very average sized 4 bedroom house, in a very ordinary part of London or it can buy you a 3 bedroom apartment in a reasonably exclusive area.
I like the fact that the guy mentions his prices in naira unlike Steve always using dollars like that's our official currency, gov needs to do something about people that trade in dollars in Nigeria, Steve, stop encouraging it.

I love the commnet he made about "Politicians love staying here"... LOL.. He forgot to add most of those politicians they stay at those places with stolen money... 😂😂😂
from the looks of the houses the prices are really not that bad, seen homes like that in the US going for $20 million US! so $4 million is a great deal!

Real estate in abj and lagos is way too overpriced. Dollarization of commodities in Nigeria is worrying. These guys are pricing houses as though they located in the US. 😂
Thank you Mr. Steven. We're blessed to have you doing such an amazing job . Africa is indeed beautiful. Keep up the great zeal and lots of love from Uganda.
Steven, please could you do a video of these places showing 'affordable' properties?..for rent and for purchase too. It'll actually help the average middle class Nigerian. Looking forward to it🙏🏿
Abuja has the best quality of life than Lagos and the people there are friendly and warm...... Lagos has great quality of life but Abuja will give you an European vibe lifestyle...... which Lagos don't have
This video clip highlights the mindset of a typical corrupt 🇳🇬 citizen. The way the guy described the target audience such as military Generals, ministers etc as those who could afford the classy properties underscore the rots in 🇳🇬 as a nation. Any sane society will question why a public servant should be able to afford such expensive property if living within their means. Some are so bold to even speak about it as if it's a normal thing. What a shameful time in 🇳🇬. The peoe are so corrupt that they have turned an anomalous situation to a norm
Thank you for shedding light on this extremely important FACT!!! We get so romanticized about Africa we disregard the reality of what's really going on
I agree. Imagine boasting about politicians living in luxurious areas on top of funds stolen from the people. He’s clearly chopping from their hands😒😒 and shit like this ruins these kinds of videos for me. How can you claim to have a legit channel when you feature a lot of shady ass people with money?? Make it make sense.
Well said. I will never understand why we Africans, yeah, it's not only Nigerians, seem to find normal to have ministers and other civil servants living in the most luxurious areas of the country, thanks to the public funds they are stealing with no shame whatsoever.
Lovely video as always Steve. It is sad that when the agent is asked the kind of people that live in all these areas, he mentions politician, military generals, ministers and a host of government officials before businessmen..That is the sad story of Nigeria and Africa 😢
@@fesderi3933 Exactly ! There aren't even 50 ministers in this current administration! There are only 109 senators and 360 representatives! People like to give the impression that only politicians live in Abuja ! How can less than 3000 people occupy nearly 2 million homes in Abuja?
I stayed in a mansion, in Asokoro last year. My uncles best friend owns it and invited me to stay there, for my first ever trip to Nigeria. It was probably the best 8 days of my life, staying in Abuja and visiting my family in Jos. The houses blew my mind, very different from what I'm used to here in boring England.

The areas are great and the properties are huge and luxurious! It's a shame that we have a country where many of the politicians and some senior military officers are able to own the most expensive real estate in the country. A society can never make progress like this! Question: Where do the politicians get the money from to buy properties worth millions of dollars and billions of naira? Answer: Public Funds, Taxpayers money
Nigerian real estate is relatively affordable. Accra properties cost as much as Dubai real estate and they're not as beautiful as these Abuja properties.
I thought Port Harcourt city had good estates until I saw this video. Wowww, the difference is really wide. The ones in Port Harcourt city and even Lagos are to some extent affordable but the ones in Abuja as I have seen in this video is wayyy expensive. Even some 'rich' people can't afford it. This video really shows the difference between being rich and being wealthy. Beautiful structures by the way💯 Kudos to Steven👍
@@neggro123portharcourt is a mess bro.Enugu have better real estate than even portharcourt.A place where u have rich guys living in the midst of those with shanty houses and mosquito infested gutters with no greenery.Rivers have the money but needs to create an area suitable and clean to the extent someone can have nice breath while in there

This is not the real Nigeria, but a theme park for the rich. Abuja is only there for the 0.00001% of the population who live on the backs of the rest of the countries' population.
De nombreuses personnes ne connaissent pas Abuja ! En Afrique et bien ailleurs tout le monde pense que Lagos est la capitale du Nigeria. C'est vraiment formidable de ta part de nous montrer cette ville qui semble être belle et dont on doit mettre en avant, j'y songe déjà à faire une vidéo dessus , merci pour ton travail 💯👏
I previously lived in Lagos for over 7 years and I can objectively say that I prefer Abuja to Lagos. The serenity of Abuja is charming!! Abuja's greenery is obvious and it is a serene city to live in. The only edge that Lagos has over Abuja is the extensive coastline & water-front view.
Saying you prefer Abuja to Lagos is like saying you prefer a 5 star hotel to a 3 star hotel....It's an Obvious choice...but the thing is that Abuja is made for the well earned class...for a young graduate or a beginner entrepreneur...please go to Lagos...the market is bigger, the opportunity is far more, anything sells in Lagos...anything...move to Abuja when you have a steady flow of income...nothing less than a million per month guaranteed.😮
There’s definitely much to admire about the beauty and infrastructure in Abuja. It’s the people that make it a very special place. With all that said, there’s NO WAY IN HELL that I’d pay some of the prices I was seeing! Just because of its size, I can see the Queen Lillian going for about $800K USD depending on internal amenities etc, but it’s right next door to some extremely mediocre looking apartments. The beautiful waterfront apartments with a view of dirty water ain’t werkin’ fa me. The developers should consider using the non-toxic water coloring. The beautiful homes next to highly substandard properties and garbage stacks in front of the entrance makes a case for major price reductions. I’m not saying they need to be extraordinarily cheap, but surroundings matter.
@@goodallknight7847That's Nigeria in a nut shell. Imperfect. Soon as gates close behind your g wagon, poverty strikes and armed robbers are waiting. Unless you live next to protected ministers like my uncle does...
Nice progress towards development in Abuja. However, I will like to see emphasis placed on community development and recreation. It appears the focus is only on the houses with little effort placed on community parks or recreational areas. Developers should start considering building places for outdoor community activities like tennis,soccer stadiums or golf courses. Also, that lake needs to be developed before the site is considered prime real estate. Looks more like a swamp in its current state.
All these places you mentioned are in Abuja, even the lake side you see here is a large outdoor recreation area. And as for the lake, I wish it's allowed to show you the real color of the lake, I've been on a boat across it and it's way clearer than what it is in this video. Everything is carefully planned in this city and most things that makes it family friendly is put in place.
Steven you’ve did it again! Made a video I’ve been craving to see, lifestyle’s of the Rich in Abuja! You’ve spoiled me with how African homes are designed and constructed! I can’t get enough of your content! ❤🇳🇬✊🏽

He is not wicked. El Rufai was known for the same thing, when he was FCT Minister. In sane countries, you are not allowed to build illegally and your building still stays up. You MUST get approved planning permission and stick to those specifications. There is an Abuja Master Plan for a reason and an engineer or from Aegis or AMAC must come to your plot and approve your building plan, according to that master plan. Even if its a small encroachment, it must come down. Nigerians love lawlessness and illegality and like to dare the government. They can do that elsewhere, not in the FCT. Far too much money and hope was invested in building the FCT, for it to be allowed to descend into another Lagos. No Way!!!
I own a house in gwarimpa and these places are near me. When i go t nigeria im stunned at the construction but my neighborhood in gwarimpa has hinge houses for far less and it’s safe.
Abuja is like New York where you see wealth and skyscrapers but you're unaware of poverty in some parts of Brooklyn, Bronx, and some parts of Queens. Please guy, people like us in America are not amused by those stolen public wealth buried in those mansions. Keep your story to yourself while Nigerians figure out how to afford garri, bread etc.
Abuja is what Lagos should be. It is spaced proper, stores/houses not built on top of each other. People not crowded in the streets, clean, proper sewer/electric, proper designated residential/mixed use/commercial areas. Imagine if Lagos was built like this.
Remember, Lagos has the smallest land mass in Nigeria having the largest population in Nigeria. How will you expect such city to have wide roads like Abuja? The only way out is railway networks. But thank God the government are putting that in place for citizens.
We like our lagos, all cities in a country cant all look the same, there must be differences or else the country will be boring, some people prefer Lagos with it's density.

Africa has been advancing until you visit you will not know. There is nothing new about this video. Even way back in the 1980s many cities across Nigeria had amazing building and not everyone who owned the was stinking rich or a political criminal.
@@gerardonochie3408Exactly. Foreigners just didn’t know about the thriving Africa because their media did not want them to see it. Now that the people own their own media, the truth is reaching the world. Africa hasn’t just started thriving. It has been thriving in different ways.
Were expecting you, come and enjoy Africa. So the coups taking place recently don't send the proper messages to you guys or you guys just decide to ignore them? A guy just showed you a few estates and you're planning to come back to your roots😈
The tragedy of Abuja is that (as indirectly mentioned by the Estate Agent) it is basically built on and sustained by an economy of corruption and the mismanagement of Nigeria's commonwealth..to succeed in Abuja (and to even think about acquiring/renting one of the properties shown in this video) you are either in government or reliant on someone in government in some shape or form..the Estate Agent didnt tell us where or how a politician or General comes about 2/3/4m USD..and I just refuse to be a part of this travesty because simply put..because any one of those houses in Abuja is the reason why a road in Bayelsa in not tarred or a govt hospital in Zamfara does not have drugs.
You're so right. The common man buys into the hype and relocates here, only to be disappointed because he doesn't have the means to sustain a life here. The same people rushing down here are also rushing back to where they rushed from.
That's the truth.... unfortunately.

It is thesame allover the world! Is the western world any better? Atleast Nigerian politicians are building in their country, how about politicians in other African countries who buy expensive properties in New York, London & Paris which can be seized at the blink of an eye
It’s sad that in Africa politicians are amongst the wealthiest in there society 😢. Great video as always my brother 🇿🇦
very sad bro, why must they be rich? why do Africans hype their politicians even when a politician is an errand boy 👦 👦
So true, politicians are some of the people in nigeria that ruin the country.
@@George-zd7muSince 1978 our Politicians are the only people to succeed.😊
This is one of the reasons why our politicians don't know most people are suffering in this country. It would have been great if this development could be spread across the federation. Much love for Abuja❤. At least is not as congested as Lagos and everywhere is cool and chill.👌
The trick is for the state executive governors to latch onto this and start to emulate Abuja, at least in their respective state capitals!

Abuja is just too impressive
From USA wishing Africa the best. I really don't know if such riches is good or bad for Africa, but the homes are really nice to look at!
It is incumbent for every society, every country to advance, to grow!
Development is always welcome, it can never be too much!
I don't imagine why there would even be an iota of doubt that Nigeria(Africa) can and should have riches!

Abuja is hands down my favourite city around West, central and east Africa.
The only African city that has it bit in my opinion would be Cape town and Egypt's new capital city (under construction - which seems to be taking on Abu Dhabi structurally).
Abuja is a truly amazing city (nice greenery, roads and modern houses - there's always a new and amazing estate being developed). The centenary city and airport city when completed would add even more architectural value to Nigeria's federal capital city.
With the emergence of the Centenary city, Abuja will be really closing the gap between it and Capetown!
You need to know it is also modelled after Dubai, Singapore and Monaco!
God give you and me long life to live and witness the city!

Not true. Guzape doesn’t have half as much greener than Jabi. Guzape is just starting to develop and doesn’t have that much greenery yet. Even infrastructure wise like amenities and proximity to town and market Jabi is still better

Beautiful Real Estate luv it blessings my bredda 👊🏿 watching from Jamaica
It is great to see that Abuja has a large investment that draws in the wealthy and affluent in our society. Realistically it is too expensive for the average person or middle class. With the economy of Nigeria at the moment and the high cost off food prices and fuel. Showing this video can only be for the extremely wealthy. You did not even show the areas where affordable housing are and how people are living in reality. It is good to advertise and promote our country. It is also important to give real facts.
Exactly and it's just 1% of people here who live like this. Mostly Northerners and people in government. I laugh when people say Lagos is better than Abuja. Yes, but only in terms of an environmental yardstick- traffic, crowd, etc. In reality, Abuja has A LOT of very bad roads. Only the expressways are developed. 99% of people here aren't rich. They're barely middle class and just surviving. There are hardly any good opportunities here except you're in government, employers don't pay well, businesses aren't doing so well because people are unwilling to pay for things. Everything is "expensive" to them. People are relocating en mass from this same Abuja Lagos people are running to, to the same Lagos they're running from. So ironic. Lagos is the place to be in terms of opportunities, career growth, businesses, talent, etc. Abuja, if you're not Hausa, Muslim or connected to any elite Northern circle, things will be very difficult for you to break into. It's strictly who you know and who knows you. The real movers and shakers are in Lagos, not Abuja as most people think. 99% of people watching and commenting on this video don't know that the have a 0.000001% of attaining anything like this in Abuja.

Quick correction, Abuja was officially named Nigeria's capital on the 12th of December, 1991, and not 1981 as stated in your video.
I was surprised to hear he said 1981.

Just a mistake
I had to pause the video at that part to crosscheck the facts cos I was living in Lagos as a kid in the 80s when Lagos was the capital.
You can get a lot for your money in Abuja, at least from a UK perspective, wow! Compared to London, even the most expensive properties in Abuja are still a fraction of the price of equivalent sized properties in London in similarly exclusive neighbourhoods . I live a short drive away from a road called the Bishops avenue in London which is for the uber rich, where 6 and 7 bedroom houses routinely sell for anywhere between £25 and £40 million depending on the size of the lot. £1 million in London will get you a very average sized 4 bedroom house, in a very ordinary part of London or it can buy you a 3 bedroom apartment in a reasonably exclusive area.
Brooo Steven u insane😮 keep the amazing job👌🏾👍🏾
I like the fact that the guy mentions his prices in naira unlike Steve always using dollars like that's our official currency, gov needs to do something about people that trade in dollars in Nigeria, Steve, stop encouraging it.
People have the right to exchange currencies as they please. It makes more sense to take US dollars and convert them before brics is implemented.
Steve has lots of foreign viewers on his channel. Converting the prices into USD helps his viewers abroad to easily get the value of these properties.
USD is the international exchange rate currency.
He also gives the nigerian equivalence to his vidoes

I previously lived in Lagos for over 7 years and I can objectively say that I prefer Abuja to Lagos. The serenity of Abuja is charming!! Abuja's greenery is obvious and it is a serene city to live in.
The only edge that Lagos has over Abuja is the extensive coastline & water-front view.
Dirty water lol . Last time i was at the beach human dumps everywhere
Saying you prefer Abuja to Lagos is like saying you prefer a 5 star hotel to a 3 star hotel....It's an Obvious choice...but the thing is that Abuja is made for the well earned class...for a young graduate or a beginner entrepreneur...please go to Lagos...the market is bigger, the opportunity is far more, anything sells in Lagos...anything...move to Abuja when you have a steady flow of income...nothing less than a million per month guaranteed.😮

Thank you for the video. Please continue to show us how the politicians live in Abuja.
There’s definitely much to admire about the beauty and infrastructure in Abuja. It’s the people that make it a very special place. With all that said, there’s NO WAY IN HELL that I’d pay some of the prices I was seeing! Just because of its size, I can see the Queen Lillian going for about $800K USD depending on internal amenities etc, but it’s right next door to some extremely mediocre looking apartments. The beautiful waterfront apartments with a view of dirty water ain’t werkin’ fa me. The developers should consider using the non-toxic water coloring. The beautiful homes next to highly substandard properties and garbage stacks in front of the entrance makes a case for major price reductions. I’m not saying they need to be extraordinarily cheap, but surroundings matter.

Nice progress towards development in Abuja. However, I will like to see emphasis placed on community development and recreation. It appears the focus is only on the houses with little effort placed on community parks or recreational areas. Developers should start considering building places for outdoor community activities like tennis,soccer stadiums or golf courses. Also, that lake needs to be developed before the site is considered prime real estate. Looks more like a swamp in its current state.
Agreed! Brown water was not appealing as waterfront property.
@@hawanyasmith8080The construction may actually be the reason for it being so brown. I don't remember that lake being that brown tbh.
All these places you mentioned are in Abuja, even the lake side you see here is a large outdoor recreation area. And as for the lake, I wish it's allowed to show you the real color of the lake, I've been on a boat across it and it's way clearer than what it is in this video. Everything is carefully planned in this city and most things that makes it family friendly is put in place.

Sorry for those with illegal structures in Abuja. Wicked Wike as Minister of FCT Abuja is going to pull everything down....
He is not wicked. El Rufai was known for the same thing, when he was FCT Minister.
In sane countries, you are not allowed to build illegally and your building still stays up. You MUST get approved planning permission and stick to those specifications.
There is an Abuja Master Plan for a reason and an engineer or from Aegis or AMAC must come to your plot and approve your building plan, according to that master plan. Even if its a small encroachment, it must come down. Nigerians love lawlessness and illegality and like to dare the government. They can do that elsewhere, not in the FCT. Far too much money and hope was invested in building the FCT, for it to be allowed to descend into another Lagos. No Way!!!
