Thank you for this brotha! Us Americans don’t often see Africa in this light & it is MUCH needed.
Agreed
@Kevwe Tony basically you want everyone to be western? Dude there are a lot of people who live in small towns and villages. It isn't bad Africa as a whole doesn't have to have western flats or houses and streets. I never understood this mentality. I highly doubt that many people in the countries mentioned can live in this affluent areas.
@Kevwe TonyLOL i'm one of those 🤣🤣🤣
You could get a much nicer place than that for $1500.00 it’s tiny.the thing we have in South Africa is space.....
Exactly
I really love the general positivity and comradery in these comments. It is so rare seeing South Africans and Nigerians enjoying online content without unnecessary fights. Well done on great content bro, much love and welcome to SA
I'm also shocked🤣🤣 so much maturity
So true
Lol, here is an unnecessary fight...
I might be wrong, but I think it's partially because S.A's one generally looks better.
Noise is usually where Nigeria does better, e.g in music...
They like boasting about their artists' achievements and stuff like that.😂
@@LwaziNzimande one can argue that in the greater scheme of things, Black Nigerians are doing generally better than Black South Africans. They own their industries and means of production (to a large extend) than us black South Africans. There isn't any major industry that we control (except Taxi industry which is at the far end of the transport industry).
In general terms and if we were to be honest with ourselves, we aren't doing better than them. We are merely managers in the SA economy. A topic for another vlog/time.
@@NkataM well yes...
And that's actually not as simple as "in general" type of topic.
It's a complex topic with multivariate factors that we'd have to take into consideration.
The first one being that Nigerian got their independence 60 years ago, and we got ours less than 30 years ago. I think there are many things we can unpack from that info alone.
We'd have to take the population of the two countries. Discuss the pros and cons of having large populations you can sell to vs a small one... etc etc.
Those are just two of the large factors that we'd have to take into consideration.
And then we'd have to scale down the impact that black South Africans have on their economy vs the Nigerian ones... scale it down so much that we compare like for like...
Compare which one is doing better.
And that's not a simple task if you ask me.
The first apartment look like a community living with is really nice and place to raise family. The Lagos one is big but quality is not the same as the South African house. The house seem to build with a purpose whereas Lagos house looked to be built for a profit.
Awesome Comment! Thanks for sharing !
Couldn't have said it better!! 👌🏽👌🏽 Spot on!!
Yes. The SA one seems consciously trying fit their end consumer like they imagine what the needs of that consumer may be. The lagos one is more just to have something nice and big and profitable and the buyer/renter can figure out for themselves whatever else they need.
Totally agree
said solomonically.
For me the apartment in south Africa is it. Ticks all the boxes.
Look forward to seeing you soon Odubanjo
Adeniyi Odubanjo thank you
Thank you ❤️🇿🇦🇿🇦
Like we Yorubas say you can't compare death with sleep
This was one of the last videos I recorded before the lockdown. Hope you guys are staying safe. Get Ready for some Stay Home Content! 😁❤️
Tayo, you put Ghana flag on your thumbnail.
@Sthembiso Mbili don't take it too personal.
@Sthembiso Mbili people make mistakes.
Yeh can’t wait for the stay home content 😊
Tayo, was that artificial grass in the back yard of the South African apartment?
I'm Nigerian living in SA.
There's no comparison when it comes to apartments in both countries.
South Africa is way ahead in that aspect & every other aspect.
Bede SN thank you for telling the truth, not even sure why he’s comparing the 2. He can try compare a Sowetan posh section of that township to posh parts of Abuja or Lagos, that’d be a fairer comparison.
Thandisile C just knew someone would come along and say something really dumb. Glad you didn’t disappoint. SMH 🤦♀️
TheRealist it’s the truth, I know it hurts
@@therealist2866 don't mind her it's the idiot that commented first and gave her room to make this dumb reply I blame
Oga, South Africa is more developed, but don't say in all aspects, so keep ur limit of praising. Am not jealous in anything but just the fact. I also love South Africa as u love there.
Luxury in South Africa is so affordable, I honestly miss it
Were are you now wen are you coming back
Tell that to the millions living in squalor...
Ed will obviously he is referring to what he can afford bro. We feel for this in squatter camps though.
Exactly... I feel the same.
Not in cape town looool
The Greenery around the South African home is everything...gives a more natural feel.
Especially the amount of natural light. It is my favorite common design feature in Southern African living spaces. Namibia and Botswana have the same quality.
S.A. architecture is just amazing! I'm South African but I live in the township but I know that my country has amazing architecture. Nigeria needs to up it a bit more on architecture and have greenery around their apartments
The truth brother !
Great comparison bro, good job. We are not too far behind South Africa on the houses. We just need to improve on our public utilities and physical environment.
Best comment so far. It's great when another brother shows positive attitude in improving themselves. If all as Africans can have the same spirit, together we can transform this beautiful continent of ours to something greater like the world has never seen.
Chane leadership
You talking crap you can't even come close to Soweto which is a township.
@@kingkunte5479 your comment is unnecessary bro...
Lol with a neighborhood full of cement and overgrown grass ? I am sure you close to Sandton 😂
All i can say is SA architects and interior designers really need to consider going to Nigeria for business
The problem is WE naija ppl, we're not spending on "finishing" also something ppl dont inderstand is the wheather is the key factor, thats why SA looks so good HUMIDITY is our worst enemy
They need to come to Rwanda too!
@@IrakozeLIVE ASAP
Also noticed the same thing. Nah fam Sandton is killing the finishes
Going to Nigeria would be too costly. Imagine the differences in surrounding environment, skill and accessibility of materials. The prices would sky rocket!
In this era of mental health issues. Natural light should a most have in modern homes; modern homes should not appear dark and gloomy inside. Plus, it will help save electricity cost. Thanks again for your great work. Always appreciate your quality of work.
Wow what a great observation for natural lighting and mental health... 👌👌
The Complex were this apartment is situated is a typical of what Developers here in SA are now building . South Africa we buy into Lifestyle than space . This Complex has gym facilities , cinema, restaurant, kids play area to name just few , it's amazing. South african Apartment for me has Value for money.
South Africa won it
*The results of crime being out of control* . Crime has been a blessing in disguise. It has been a catalyst for new areas such as Sandton and Umhlanga to come up which has helped decentralize economic activity. Now there are lifestyle estates for safety and convenience reasons.
Nigerian home is too dark for my taste, not enough natural lighting and small bathrooms.
SA slays on this.
Thanks for the comparison
You are spot on, however land is ridiculously expensive in Nigerin, hence not enough space to allow for sunlight
Great comments on here. SA is probably my favorite country in Africa(with Namibia being a close second).
The northern suburbs are quite impressive though I do like other parts of the country like Harbeesport (North West), Port Elizabeth and East London (Eastern Cape) and the Durban area (KwaZulu-Natal). That said SA has some nice college and beach towns. And a top rated (internationally speaking) university system. I know the nation has problems but guess what? So do every other country. Beautiful country.
thankyou Sir,BEST COMMENT EVER!
Great comment indeed. You know SA very well. Thank you.
Thank you for your kind words. Even though I dont live there anymore I still call South Africa home after 38 years in Australia. I get sick of hearing and reading nothing but negative comments about my country. Yours is refreshing and much apreciated.
@@kersie2000 tjoe you have been away from home for many years now!38 years!
Namibia 😍😍
The apartment in Johannesburg is a far better option overall. While the one in Lagos offers more internal space the Johannesburg one also comes with an environment to match, which for many buyers even trumps space. Crucially the payment options (monthly) offered by the one in SA is more realistic and reflects modern times of people's finances. I'm a Nigerian landlord with a small portfolio in Nigeria although currently resident in London. Never been to SA but from what I see re real estate I think we Nigerians have some catching up to do. Especially with regards to the finance (mortgage,flexi payment, etc)part of real estate. Great content Tayo I'm a big fan. P.S do some more Abuja real estate videos please. 🙏🏽🙂
Come invest in SA real estate, there is a city called cape Town and the real estate there will blow your mind, houses hanging off the cliff into the ocean👌
I feel like the best architects and interior designers are in South Africa. I have seen so many beautiful buildings, even restaurants, that are better aesthetically than most of the places I've been to in the West
There's no comparison between the Johannesburg and Lagos Apartment. Ignoring space standards and external environment, Johannesburg has been designed, built and finished to a higher specification, standard and quality.
South Africa won it
@Billy Kay It's apples and oranges to be honest. It depends on the preference of the buyer. The apartment in Lagos is better than the one in Johannesburg purely on a spacial basis internally. However the apartment in Johannesburg wins overall because of the environment. Because while its smaller the area it's located in has more to offer socially and visually meaning you get more bang for your buck.
@@mr.a2619 It is not a matter of apples and oranges when you are comparing items (namely residential apartments in the same price range...) that also offer similar amenities. If they were different types of items and/or mismatched in terms of amenities, then may be the idiom, apples and oranges would be appropriate. But they are not. How does the global residential property market work, if not by comparison....!!! Space can only be one of a number of factor in a buyers decision. Indeed, if property firms marketed their properties as better than others because they offered more space but fell well short on design, aesthetics and finish then I know which ones would succeed !!
Yeah but Those are two biggest cities in Both Countries. I think it’s a fair comparison
Mr.A you are smoking something .South African one is the better one 🇿🇦
Without a doubt a South African 🇿🇦 apartment does it for me. Even the environment is inviting.
@Unathi Ngunuza thanks 🤩 just checked it out. We need more RUclipsrs exploring African villages
I feel one of the things that let down the apartment in Lekki is that it wasn't furnished, I wish I could've seen it with everything installed and furnished etc.
Maduo Dijeng I agree. If the Sandton apartment didn’t have furniture it wouldn’t look as great.
Just by looking at the kitchen? I doubt. Don't get me wrong though I like Nigeria, always wanted to visit
Then if Nigerian apartment was having finisher the price will not be the same
@@fanievilankulu6412 the S.A. house was staged, you still have to buy your own furniture. Which would increase the price.
@@EloquentlyEse not really, most apartments like that (rental) are sold with a furniture
South Africa own hands down for me! Thanks for showing! :-)
I prefer the apartment in South Africa 🇿🇦 by the grace of God, I will buy a house in Africa. In England the media, have a tendency to show Africa impoverished!!! I’m from London uk , the houses / apartments in Africa are outstanding.
NGOs/NPOs to get funds from you, we all know where all this cash ends up
The (Racist) Media in the UK like Daily Mail & The Sun etc NEVER have anything good to say about Africa.. A House like this in England would cost at least £3k a month or more..Houses in London have very small rooms compared to Houses in Europe.. A typical garage in SA or Lagos is bigger than a Master Bedroom in London..By the way may your dream come true.. Being a property owner is one of the best thing ever.. Best of Luck
Yes because we are still very poor. This 3% of Africa enjoying this luxury. We need your tax money to still survive out here. We can't afford this homes.
Come sis I'll go house shopping with you🤗
I like the South African apartment better. The environment is beautiful and lighting is amazing.
The Lagos apartment is good too but not as great as the first apartment
Hi internet world 👋🏽. I’m in NYC and the apt in South Africa was amazing. I feel like I can definitely live there. Nigeria wasn’t too bad but my preference was with SA. I love the fact that you highlight the continent in a positive light most people have a negative idea of what it really look like. I can’t wait to come visit.
Please watch( the real south Africa ) on RUclips
I have noticed something about Nigeria houses ....especially all this built homes ,they lack trees and gardens or out door or play ground for kids ....don’t they want fresh air ...it makes the home lack beauty
We Nigerians don't play outside we love to stay indoors it's part of our culture
Derick Emmy lol 😆....that’s not true...Nigerian love outside that is why they have compound and kids play on the street...but the trees are needed for fresh air and to avoid congestion
@@lacy4035 I can't argue with you so stick with what you decide bye
@@derickemmy997 lol do Nigerians do not like gardens and trees in their houses. No wonder they always built with tiles outdoors
We don't like green insect and mosquito love them so it's a no
As a content creator, I'd have to go with the SA apartment simply for the amazing access to natural light. In contrast, most houses in Nigeria lack this.
Amazing content as always Tayo.
I am a Nigerian living in Canada but I am all for the South African apartment, that is what a home should look like. Coincidentally my discipline is Civil Engineering and I practiced for some time in Lagos. One issue most lagos construction projects have is the general lack of a care for detailed finishing. The problem is that everyone tries to pay the construction team as little as is possible and this shows in the attitude that is put into the job. There are also lots of quacks in the industry. The likes of Femi Otedeola and Alakija are the ones who escape these issues by contracting construction of their homes to full fledged construction and architectural firms.
Although the Nigerian Apartment is more spacious the apartment in South Africa is more stylish and even with minimum furniture it can still look cozy.
That's bcos it is furnished and the environment completed
@@danorous1260 No environment in any nigeria city is ever completed, it's almost like the owners of the properties are forgetful of something even Lekki lol. If you you see a mansion and you look at the front area sometimes they have open gutters or an uncompleted building next door for years even some of the houses have the left over sand and blocks/bricks used in building the house; I tire.
@@MajorrBison It's corruption bro. Nigeria is a corruption infected country
@@MajorrBison couldn't have said it better 👍
Ayo how long are y’all gonna keep using that stupid argument?
The issue I have with the Nigerian style is we always try to maximize space and pay little attention to recreation all in the name of profit, this is why I can't live in Lagos all my life but will prefer to retire in my village,...... I just need a fish, poultry and pig farm, nice house, orange, banana, and guava orchard and I'm good. The house in SA is better in my opinion, bc of the neighborhood and amenities. Tayo all the best, always appreciate your effort and hardwork.
everything there in South Africa looks clean, well kept and well planned even the sky is blue...u must be enjoying yourself there 👍
The apartment in lagos is still under construction
Yes thank you we are enjoying
DAMN WHT COLOUR ARE YOUR SKY IN NAIJERIA LOL??!!!
Even the sky is blue 😅😅
@@gifttshipandu I HAD 2 LAUGH MY IN MY POES
Am Nigerian, but I prefer the south African apartment for contents where as the Nigerian apartment is centered purely on profit.
This isn’t in Sandton, it’s the polo fields in waterfall, which is more Midrand than Sandton. It’s Balwin’s most luxurious estate/complex in Gauteng.
Amanda Mashego was going to comment that it’s not Sandton
yeah it aint sandton
Thank you for noticing that. Waterfall falls under the Midrand umbrella than Sandton.
Well Sandton ain’t all that, since you rambling on about Sandton.
John John Sandton is nice. Relax.
South Africa is built to 1st world standard and most of south Africa is developed to a first world standard. Lagos can have big houses but looking at the streets alone, you can tell how disorganized it is.
My observation too
Yes. You cannot roam around freely in the surrounding of your neighborhood in Nigeria. And you will always be scared of your life in Nigeria. Worried about which members of your friends or families are going to set you up to be kidnapped in Nigeria.
Cocobutter Chin lol I’m not sure you’re familiar with infamously high crime rates in Johannesburg (Sandton is in the general Johannesburg area). Johannesburg is considered more dangerous than Lagos. SA was also going through a severe power crisis last year.
Shut up olooku
@@minaa.1984 as as I know Sandton is crime free,place where crime is high in South Africa is Hillbrow in Joburg and most Nigerians stay or frequnt there because of trade in drugs. One other thing they don't do kidnappings in South Africa. Kidnappings are said to be more rampant in Nigeria .
Nigerian 🇳🇬 apartment =ghetto, South African South Africa 🇿🇦 =class
Why are Nigeria bathrooms always so small.😂😂 im nigerian nd that just pisses me off.
We don't sleep in bathrooms that's y.
😂🤣🤣🤣
@@roberttv6904 😂😂😂
Have you been to New York? That's what happens when you have so many people in a city. How many people are in South Africa as a whole?
You can't compare luxery in S.A to Nigeria, population has an effect on a city or a country,put Nigerian population into S.A then you will see difference
I'm South African,
And I'd like to thank you for making this video, I've never been to Nigeria and I feel like visiting now after seeing this.
🌍🌍♥️♥️
THANK YOU
As someone from NY, where 1.5k will get you a shoebox both properties are BEAUTIFUL.

@@ayoa3892 lol what are you talking about
At least you learn to see Africans in a positive image bc I know New Yorker attitude towards Africans.

and convert minimum wages of someone working in NYC, say 3000 USD, thats close to R60 OOO, and put in high earners. Yould have to be a chartered account with experience.
peole always compare the one without the other.
A person rent a shoebox in NY, for similar job, would geta shoebox or even worse in Africa, our inequality is worse then states, so the economics gets skewed as you go down
Sandton apartment looked better by far for such a price. Don’t know why Lagos houses are always expensive but the expense don’t match the finishes
Thats my point couse price is the same
Thats my point couse price is the same
Omo baba Olowo thank you🇿🇦❤️❤️
Omo baba Olowo
Thank you. I'm planning to invest in property in Lagos in the near future and I gotta say I'm not impressed with the finishes. I think the best thing to do is buy land there and bring the South African style finishes.
That's actually Midrand, not Sandton my guy.
I love seeing Africans promoting Africans🙌🏾❤🌍
I like both the Apartments🙂, The Nigerian one is bigger but the the South African one has very nice luxurious finishes.
But if I had to choose, I would choose the one in Johannesburg, South Africa🇿🇦
South Africa looks beautiful....the out door terrace, barbeque and free appliance is my favorite, well organised and reasonable price. for 9ja u'll pay alot for that
Those aren't free. You have to pay for extra appliances.
@@godsongodson1675 It's included in your monthly payment, you don't pay an extra amount to use appliances when renting monthly.
Thee Real One tell him
We love to braai(BBQ) my patio also has a grill area
Braai
I like both they pretty nice and high en. I like how the Johannesburg one feels modern luxury with the finishings and amenities. The surrounding infrastructure a looks modern and established. Africa is a great place!
Oh my God!! Definitely buying a house in Africa one day.. My favorite was the home in South Africa 💖💖💖. Just beautiful!!
South Africa all the way! In Lagos I know some of the challenges have to do with distance to the CBD it's difficult to get cheap land in these areas that are between 5-25 mins to the CBD and one of the reason why developers don't bother about building a community in the first place and houses with greenery. That being said, I think our developers should improve on quality when it comes to finishing. Light! Light! Light! No living space should be dark. Just like Tayo said, window design and lighting the room. Please pay attention to details, wall screed, skirt boards though tiles is mostly used here, interlocking without weed and holes that can snatch my heels, lol. For me, the kitchen is very important and I won't entertain any shoddy work especially with the materials used for cabinet, cheap smelling MDF is a no no, backsplash is important and should be quality material, countertops cannot be over emphasized, it has to be quality, I don't want crack and scratch after a year. Cabinet handle/knobs should be selected carefully to work for families, kitchen sink, go stainless if you're going to charge that high and same goes for bathroom vanities, faucets, and neat tiling job in all rooms and bathrooms. I particularly don't fancy kitchen cabinets with legs, I want everything covered all the way down. Attention to details makes the difference. That's all we are asking for.
Thanks for this amazing review!! Appreciate you!
I live in Nairobi, I have lived in Lagos for over a year & I have visited Jo Burg. Nairobi & Lagos are just over priced its ridiculous. Jo Burg has much, much better housing for cheaper than either of those other cities.
Jo Burg is a fresh city, in terms of amenities, infrastructure , entertainment, food and cost of living. I have had mentions about insecurity but didn't experience anything but then again wasn't there for too long.
Great video.
The sandton apartment is the real deal
Cool
S.african apartment have this obodo Oyibo feeling. It's all about the finishing touches. Good content!
The South African property just pipped the Nigerian one to the post for me.
It was the quiet elegance , the outside space and the general setting that did it for me.
We Nigerians are doing a good job but can definitely learn a thing of two from our South African brethren
God bless and keep up the good work Tayo .
@Dee Jay I really like and appreciate your positive attitude... quite frankly i think both us here in SA and Nigeria can definitely learn from one another and collaborate on many aspects. Musicians and corporate companies in both countries are already doing that. Only if we could just learn to understand one another, relate through our differences and leverage on our strengths. In SA we have a saying that says.... "One day is one day"...i shall remain hopeful.
This is such a beautiful video. The Nigerian apartment was spacious but I would imagine the yearly rent is out of reach for most people compared to South Africas monthly rent. The South African apartment offered alot of value for your money, gym, kids play area, pool, restaurant and bar. Plus the big windows to allow for natural lighting are the cherry on top 👌🏿
Apartments in Nairobi cannot rival this apartment in Sandton, let alone luxury, and they're even more expensive than this. This is so much better! I would pay my money to live in this apartment.
It's not in Sandton it's in Midrand.
In kenya we are being ripped off. Housing in kenya is so expensive its ridiculous
I see Tayo's video I click faster than the speed of sound.
Thanks for the great content and keep up the good work. I live in the Sandton area and my monthly rental is the equivalence of $1200. The apartment comprises a spacious bedroom, living room, dining, laundry room, and a beautiful landscape with amenities all around. I moved from Rustenburg (about 2 hours' drive) to Joburg two years ago and I must say Jo'burg is where it's at. So many options when it comes to rental apartments or if one wants to purchase one for investments. The beauty of Joburg is robustly growing and become a property and investment powerhouse.
The South African apartment has a story to it. The Nigerian one doesn't. That's the difference.
I love south Africa i have been there more than once..but if I am buying or renting an apartment I will buy in 9ja..
Meet your new subscriber. Planning on buying property back home in SA soon so this came at the right time!
No contest. Been viewing properties in Florida and south Africa for years. Unfortunately, no where in Nigeria comes close. Just think first and foremost about electricity supply, then it's game over.
Well, developers are now offering 24/7 electricity, its kind of a trend now, they use small gas power plants and/or solar plants.
@@samuelagbonkpolo1242 Do you really trust those Nigerian developers?
South Africa Apartment was great😊
Man, I’ll pick the SA apartment just because of the grill hahaha
south africa it is for me. its built with class n standard
Am I the only one that doesn’t understand why kitchen fittings in Nigeria do not follow the modern trends? What’s up with the dark wood and colours? Gloss white is kinda universally seen as the modern go to for kitchen fittings especially in apartments... I don’t get?!
From Kenya. I feel like there isn’t much thought put in Nigerian properties. It’s more about size and flash. The finishing I also see in Nigerian houses is always sub standard, the bathrooms aren’t clean and done well, there is always that one thing that wasn’t done to perfection, a pipe hanging from somewhere or rust in a bathroom, there are always flaws in finishing whereas the south African house was really well thought and the finishing was top notch. You should come do a review of a luxury apartment in Nairobi sometime.
True. Architects and Interior Designers in SA are well trained. We have some of the best architectural and interior design courses/schools in the world.
True. We arguably have some of the best Architectural and Interior design courses/schools in the world. The Architects and Interior Designers are well trained in SA.
Very true.the finishing is not great.and I agree he should do a luxury apartment tour in Nairobi. Very nice houses here.
Maybe the houses haven't been totally completed.
@@OFCnmezi We Nigerians have not developed a taste for good architecture, all we care about is cosmetic looks on the outside
We are hitting 100,000 this week 😍😍😍👏👏👏 Congratulations brother.. Beautiful video...
It was lovely seeing an apartment in Lagos. I have been longing to visit Nigeria for years. Liked the spacious feel of the rooms and the tiles in Lagos apartment, but the kitchen looked miserable. It looked like an afterthought. Kitchens in Nollywood mansions often look the same, like the gateman just recommended his buddy to come and do the kitchen. Eish. In South Africa, people will even make an effort to renovate the kitchen before trying to sell an older house. The Joburg apartment is well thought out and so lovely and cozy with that small yard and braai/grill area. Please do more videos. Thanks.
Great video! Thanks for posting.
I know Lagos is congested but it needs more green spaces. The government should encourage this, by enacting laws that encourage green spaces . It makes the houses more beautiful, healthier and of course environmental friendly.
I will pick the South African apartment over the Lagos one!
The luxury in that apartment in S.A is everything.
Hmm..tough call. Both apartments have pros and cons. The SA one has better amenities and design.
Hey tayo, kindly send me contacts of the interior finishing of this apartment pls.
I prefer the apartment in South Africa, purely based on the quality of the finishing both inside and outside. While the Lagos apartment is bigger, the finishing is sub-standard for the price. Also why will I pay $194k to end up having a communal pool *crazy* 🤷♀️ ***my opinion**
The Communal pool is for the South African property, the Nigerian pool has it's own amenities mini sized however. All together, I prefer the SA property to live in, well built with lots of thoughts put into it, Nigerian property will better serve as a rental investment.
The South Africa house is dope dope 👍
But not specious at all. If you fit the Lagos apartment it will look much better than the south African apartment.
@@ReactwithRandy it's all about quality. Look at the tubs and sink of the south African one and look at the Nigerian one. The Nigerian one is to basic. The SA finishing feels more luxurious. The Nigerian one is really nice to.
@@africaine4889 dont full me there are no difference please. Different design yes and nothing else.
@@MegaAdedeji I am not talking about equipment but the details of the house, the bathrooms, the defenestration and all
@@ReactwithRandy listen you and I have different taste, even tho the two are nice in their different ways I would choose the SA one because of differ t things i do not see in the Nigerian one. The difference could not be to big but for me they count. Now If for u it's the second one good for u
South Africa all the way because I am originally from Zimbabwe and I live in the UK
Tell them
Wow!! The Sandton apartment is really cheap for all you get! Private Garden, patio/ barbecue area etc. Nice
This is awesome wonderful i love it especially the South Africa apartment looks more premium
@Sthembiso Mbili yeah i agree totally
i B 9ja but I like SA apartment more i no go lie ooo 🙌🏿
The filmography of this video is great, Wonderful shoots of both cities! Great video.
Universities in Nigeria please start offering more courses like, Architecture, interior design and town planning. I’m sure these courses are there but start enrolling more people. The Nigerian apartment had so much potential but lack of light and poor finishing touches.
Your comment reminds me of Vivian, a Kenyan interior designer who came to Johannesburg with intention to do a BTech Interior Design at the University of Johannesburg (honours year or 4th year, which is a post grad qualification depending on where you come from). The university looked at her portfolio and her Kenyan qualification and said no, you are going to 2nd year (not 4th/ b tech) as she wanted. She agreed although she wasn't happy. 2 months in 2nd year, she said to me, now she understands why she needed to go to 2nd year. The work she was doing as a 2nd year student in SA had a quality higher than her entire interior design 3 year degree from Kenya
That of South Africa is dope♥️♥️😍😍 Nigeria's own lacks proper planning nd the environment is not attractive. South Africa's own is just like those developed countries. The most surprising part is that of Nigeria is where billionaire nd millionaire lives. South Africa is too far developed above Nigeria.
Billionaires and millionaires in Nigeria won't settle for just a small house they prefer luxury mansions that they build themselves usually to show how rich they are
Both are amazing😍 I love the one in SA the most cause of it's extra elements but the one in Nigeria is also a win.
Been in Nigeria quite a few times and I absolutely loved what it has to offer, I really felt at home. Love Pat, all the way from SA❤🇿🇦
I love your videos bro! Very detailed, please keep them coming 🙌🏾👏🏾👏🏾

$1500/month is not bad for both. I really like the ambience of the SA one though...oh and that pool with the gym just outside...oof! Would be nice for a long holiday.
Have been watching your videos since last year and discovered that your videos quality are the best of all that have watch. Keep on the good work TayoAina
And as usual the soundtrack is on point💯💯💯💯
Nigerian developers have a lot of work and enough catching up to do. Nice content bro
I'm so glad RUclips recommended this video❤great content! I'm in SA but I've always wanted to visit Ng. Enlightening👌
Wow brother Tayo great video keep up the good work and informing Africans. Quality work as always Tayo. We are learning
I’m so happy I bumped into this channel😁🙏🏽
Firstly, you are doing a great job my brother. Coming to the two apartments I would choose the Sandton one. The finishes, the view, the gym and landscaping 👌💪
I prefer South African apartment - it has a more home feel with lots of light -plus tree lined neighbourhood. Both have their value. Thanks for sharing.
This Sandton apartment is sick.
This is not sandton, it's waterfall midrand
This video will up to millions view. Bet. Been following since 18 and this is it!!
100k countdown...🚨🚨🚨
9.2k to go.
for investment purposes Lagos, but for personal use the semi-detached apartment in SA gives more privacy and comes with a backyard+grilling area...lol
I agree!
Thanks Boo, I have been offered to come to South Africa and Nigeria and this video helped me decide. Great Work!
I've noticed in Nigeria and Ghana the windows tend to be smaller & sometimes not in proportion to the size of the property - the inside appears so dark 😔when i was in Ghana the house was so big and windows soooo small.
The flow of light and air falls short in comparison to other tropical places (included where i grew up), we rarely used ceiling light except in the evening. I've been trying to figure out why for so long
Jburg is pure niceness, more complete amenities...plus the estate is well developed, roads, recreation area etc.
You can even get a $600 apartment in Joburg tht is the same like that. Its just that sandton is very expensive. Other surburbs are affordable and beautiful just like sandton .
Thanks. Keep showing more affordable homes with a touch of luxury like these ones. I enjoyed the video.
Your content is amazing! I hope you’re staying safe in SA. MUCH LOVE ❤️
Thank you!
Love the house in South Africa. The architect and interior designer did their thang
