This is my drive-through of Abuja central business district and me showing all the things I could find during my drive through. I hope you guys like it and if you do, please LIKE and SUBSCRIBE to my channel - Zábava
I'm from 🇨🇩congo drc I like Nigeria is best country to Africa
@pwati you are welcome to the family. Much love. Please subscribe if you haven't already done so. It will be appreciated.💖
Thank you so much Bigwillz. You have no idea how much this means to us living in the diaspora, especially those of us planning on relocating back to Nigeria. Please continue doing what you're doing, well appreciated!!!
It's a pleasure. Thank you for your kind words.
@Afri Media 👍👍
I believe this is the best business district in Nigeria. The Nigerians in the Philippines somehow suggest in their "culture shocks in the Philippines" that Nigeria is better. It is the opposite based on many videos of Nigeria like this one. Those, (not all) that act like Nigeria is ahead should look at their country on the ground. Those Nigerians also talked about poverty in the Philippines. They shouldn't. We all know there's 18 million poor Filipinos and there are 88 million Nigerians living in poverty. This is not to put down Nigeria but to call on Nigerians that it's fine to be proud, but no exaggeration is needed because social media shows everything, images and data.
Nigeria is a rich country, So beautiful, greenery, organized, and clean environment
Thank you
Our abuja central district. Nice video
Thank you
Nigeria’s capital is a class in Africa and actually meets world standards as it is still evolving. Great content.
Thanks @Truly
I do not see any world class development here . The business district does not have a downtown setting . No streets , no commercial center . No entertainment center .
@@tralbriggs104 point of correction,Abuja is a serene and well planned capital city and not a commercial hub but an administrative city of Nigerian's government.if u want to see commerce,then go to lagos,the financial hub of West africa. nigeria got it all.dont get it twisted.
@@izevbizuaosaigbovo6341 mention one city on earth that does not have commercial activities . LOL you just sounded like a typical Nigerian Ignoramus . Nigerian cities including Lagos do not have commercial districts. Normally , in every city , the downtown is the commercial district . Nigerian cities , towns and villages do not have downtown . Port Harcourt was planned so but after independence , Nigerians could not maintain it . Now they refer to various Ikwerre villages as Port Harcourt with pure hamlet settings .
@@tralbriggs104 u that is sounding like a typical senseless African that doesn't respect people's views witout insulting his father ,I hope u no there is a sharp difference btw Johannesburg and Pretoria,new York and Washington dc.that same difference exists btw lagos and abuja.pretoria and Washington are administrative cities just like Abuja.
With all these videos I won't be lost in Abuja
My thoughts exactly 🥳
Hahahahahahah, If you get lost buzz me
😂😂😂😂😂
Wow...Abuja is beautiful
Thank you
Nigeria is so Amazing🇳🇬💯
Welcome to the family bro
This is beautiful, i wish Lagos roads can be as free as this......
Trains will solve that problem
Beautiful City, Very good🇯🇲
Yeah it is bro
Thank you, very good video. I just returned from Abuja and was at ICC and stayed at the Sheraton. As an American, I enjoyed it I felt very safe. He is spot on regarding the Muslim money changers that is their business and they are serious about. Be sure to hire a driver and local to change your US dollar to Naira. The people at the Sheraton were warm and truly amazing, The compound is huge and lots to do onsite…it’s very secure property. Can’t wait to go back. US ladies be mindful of your attire and don’t wear our trendy military camouflage pants or tops…it’s not advised especially if you didn’t serve in the military.
Thank you Alisa, for taking time to share your experiences here. Much appreciated. Please do subscribe to the channel and help share the video to friends and family. Thanks once again.
Some comments in the comment section are out of this world. This guy took time to show a very small part of the city yet people are calling it ugly. I agree as citizens of this country we deserve better but we should learn to appreciate what we have at the moment while building the city. I really enjoyed the tour my brother, well done.
Thank you for the show of love. I truly appreciate it.
Greetings from Trinidad and Tobago,you all have very magnificent structures in Abuja,and the streets are clean!
Thank you and welcome to the family. I hope you like what we do in this channel. Please subscribe and be part of the family 💕.
Abuja is really so beautiful.
Yes it is beautiful
Beautiful city
Thank you 🙏
This is awesome! by 2040 or 2050 this will all be even more developed. More and more people from the diaspora will be moving here and into Lagos.
Nonchalant I agree with you
Development is not by building concrete jungle. Nature is everything. Abuja is very ok just need maintenance. Most of you need to decolonise your mind from chasing things that are not relevant(concrete jungle) to things that are relevant(nature).
Strong point eSoft
Abuja is a capital city with an expanding population, it should look an function as such. They moved the capital there on purpose but are unable to follow through completely. It's not about 'colonised minds' it';s about the gov doing what they say they will and what funds have been released for. I follow what the gov say they will do and have done for many years but there is a trend of not performing in that. I don't feel they are sincere in actually delivering. I grew up and live in cities where the governments follow through on projects or get the private sector to commit. The gov have just gotten Nigerians groomed to being satisfied with words but no action. Funny that they are right on time with stealing resources released for projects though. Abuja is a balance of metropolis and nature, that was it's USP.
@up black peoples up Africa Yep. Younger people need to get involved or be allowed to get involved.
SylviasWorld where the heck in the earth do you live. Please share TF is wrong with you freaking mind
I will subscribe this is for my first time to see Abuja Aaaaaa it's Massive and Beautiful l like the city and its clean from Malawi.
Thank you Molly it will be nice to have you subscribe to the channel. Thanks for taking time to watch and commenting. Appreciated
Wow very satisfying,no single potholes on the road, highly classy
This is what we want to see in every state in the country. Would that but be great?
The policy on high-rise buildings has changed.It use to be 12 floors.but now you can built any floor u want ie why you be taller buildings now coming up.
Abuja is beautiful
wahab balogun Yes it is beautiful

Nice video. You covered about 65%-70% of the central business district.
I tried.
Government need to fund people like you sir. Good enlightenment. You are the Google map to many of us. Good job sir
david bunshak Hahahaha thanks David
Nice
Thank you
Came across your video for the first time. I subscribed immediately.
Thank you 🙏. I appreciate it.
You're very welcome. Keep the videos coming. I am actually learning from content creators like you who have been doing it for a long. I just created my own CZcams channel and started uploading videos for about 2-3 weeks now. I am not I know what I am doing but it's definitely a process that will take a while to perfect my editing skills. Haha
Looking at how the road is so free.. lagos is just a hell
💯👍
Great video. Well plan city with lots of trees. No need for skyscrapers fam. We don't need concrete jungle in Abuja. Lagos is enough concrete jungle already.
Hahahahahaha
That's what I've been saying; they want to ruin Abuja with ugly skyscrapers. Those are needed where land is scarce, Abuja has not even used 1/3 of the land allocated to it. They want to turn it to another Dubai, a soulless place
Well, the city is amazing.I wonder what it will be in the next few years.
I believe it will be finner 💕
Nice video. You're very good at this. You have a professional operating the camera. The sound of your car adds a lot to the good quality of the video
Thank you bro
you are doing a great job, this is healing
Thanks otewven
@@Bigwillz osaguhuero. vbeni ijesu.
Osaigbovo Ahunwan Amen
Good road and wide. Lambo or Aston Martin and role here without fears! More Skyscrapers need to be built. Also more lights for good night drives
Good vídeo
Thanks sharing with us. Felt like i was driving with you!
bj dada hahahahaha the roads are really good. Thanks for taking time to watch. If you like my content please subscribe if you haven't already. Thanks once again
@@Bigwillz sure will, watched some other videos too
@@bjdada2889 Thanks bro
Hi, a nice vidoeo you have there. But the Metro station you mentioned and showed is actually the 'Russian Embassy'. The metro station isnt visible except you are driving from the opposite side of that road.
Kudos!!
Great Effort 👏👏 👏 I think alot need to be done to bring the City To *Standard*
Yes I agree
Wow when i get money i will relocate to Abuja
Amen
Thanks for the visual tour... It brought back a lot memories from my last vacation there.👍
Mr Dan I'm glad you like it. One of the reasons for the video. For people who have not been home for a while. Please subscribe if you haven't already. Thanks
Very nice view my dear friend
Thank you Khaled
@@Bigwillz I wish to visit nigeria
@@khaledfrance9513 you are welcome any time
@@Bigwillz thank you so much
A business district should have commercial centers, Business offices , Entertainment center , Museum , parks . Relaxation spots .
Commercial centers are mostly found in Wuse 2....that zone functions 24/7
Thanks, Bigwillz for sharing these modern parts of Abuja.. Just a bit upset that the Government is not spending as much to develop the rest of Nigeria and to complete the building of the dam sooner than later.. 😢
💯👍
Great videos! Pls can you do a tour of Jabi and the houses there?
Noted and thank you
Agreed.
My capital city is beautiful
🙏🙏🙏
bro you're making us proud of naija...i wish l'd money. l'll love to live in Abuja with my family.
Little by little, you will move here.
bro l'd already build in b/city.
@@francisosage9629 That's cool. My City
l'll try bro, by the grace of God almighty.
@Bigwillz, the building you thought was a train station is actually the new Russian Consulate/Embassy. I think all the train stations are to a set design, unless, maybe the station is attached to the embassy.
Thank you for pointing that out. I apprecite
@@Bigwillz No worries.
The current Minister have to do more..Great one from you.God bless.ur content very informative... gaskiya the current Minister have to improve on is job.. imagine Abuja metro still not yet functioning properly many projects incompleted, street light very poor..very weak administrator
👍🏼 Thank you
I had lived in Abuja around 2000 and 2002. I enjoyed all your videos on Abuja. Thanks for refreshing my memory. But I think the tour is not complete without showing Nicon Nuga Hilton Hotel in CBD or so. I have not seen it in any of your videos either. I think it is the best Hotel in Abuja and Nigeria
Shafe Musari Noted. It will come. And Thanks for being here and taking your time to watch my videos.
It's no longer Nicon Nuga Hilton. It's now called Transcorp Hilton
@@alphonseonye3009 🤣 thank you bro
Nice video! Please try to visit the site of the Nigeria Cultural Centre and Millennium tower!
Noted.
@@Bigwillz i think you have done something on the millennium towers and cultural center before. Although you passed it today without mentioning it
@@sidex4 you are right bro.
Thanks for this one Willz, CBD is okay especially with the hills, but honestly, even in Africa we are seriously being left behind, just check. Designs are stuck in the 80's and the gov really need to start approving buildings fit for 2020 and beyond. Abuja is a capital city, after all so I'd like to see ,such more ambitious and modern buildings for the city. ABJ is still pretty though.
As you can see, these buildings were done in the '80s but we keep seeing changes in other areas, as new structures are coming up.
@@Bigwillz London was built in 50 AD but they have managed to keep the old with the new. I just think Nigerian leaders are not that ambitious for Nigeria and don't really see her true potential. I know I'm complaining but ABJ deserves more.
@up black peoples up Africa Even before Centenary City there is an Abuja master plan which included a Boulevard that is supposed to be in the CBD and would have provided the type of cityscape I am referring to. Looks like they've just abandoned it. Like many other projects. I'm just not giving them excuses any more. Image search Abuja Boulevard, you'll see. Abuja lacks the city feel because they fail to follow through, perpetually. I have been looking at other African cities and it really shows the gov is really doing the absolute bare minimum. It just really annoys me because we have so much potential.
It is not for the government to approve it is for private investors to want to build things. In the case if Nigeria and Abuja as a whole. There is nothing attracting private companies to build modern edifices in Nigeria. This is what needs to be understood
@@newnigeriaupdates1060 So what was the master plan about then? The FG are supposed to build what they said they would and tempt companies to ABJ. Dubai was built in the desert and was engineered to success by it's leadership. The FG has to market Abuja , plus companies don't build office buildings, they lease them.
See road nah 😢
Very nice city bro, Nigeria, thanks for showing this City, what is temp now, hot or Cold watcher,
It's 24 degrees this morning. Please subscribe if you enjoyed my content. Thanks Roy
was this on a Sunday. It looks lee traffic on the streets. It looks kind of neat and clean. Wondering how is the security compared to Nairobi in Kenya
It's a working day and I must say that the security here is very good not anywhere near Nairobi. Lagos is the city that has security issues like Nairobi
It is a fine showcase. But firstly, you were driving too fast and secondly, for personal safety, you shouldn't have been the one driving the vehicle while tour-guiding. In spite of this the showcasing was very fantastic and it is a strong motivation.👍🏾
Thank you @Mensu for your concern for my safely.
Omo this CBD needs some high rise buildings to put the city on par with the likes around the world.
Very true
Even in Africa.
We do need them
Abuja central business district was supposed to look a lot different but with Nigeria’s currency economic growth, no company wants to build things in Abuja. Unless Nigeria’s economy starts to pick up. Than Abuja will remain mostly bare for the next few years.
High rise building for what? Talk as if high rise building is just for decoration LOL
What you referred to as a catholic church is the National Ecumenical Center. It belongs to all the Christian denominations.
Has been brought to my notice. Thanks
Enjoyed your video. Did you live in the uk before? And if so why did you relocate to Abuja. Cheers from the UK👍
My mom and siblings live in the UK, I only visit for holidays.
Welcome to my channel. Hope you've subscribed. Will be appreciated.🙏
@@Bigwillz Yes absolutely enjoying your channel. Been researching where best to relocate and to retire, either Lagos or Abuja. I particularly love the green and the quietness of Abuja.. a lot👍
@@abbyflagesh5012 maybe you can just visit for a week or so. This may help you make up your mind.
@@Bigwillz I agree. Thank you, I really appreciate it..👍
Cool though... Buh where are the Embassies
Aliche Favour They are all over the city center
@@Bigwillz truth
@@ochiegodfrey6428 💯
Where are the walkovers for pedestrians?? or pedestrians crossings??
Some of these things are not available in some places.
O.pat
Pls for safety reason how do u driving and recording at the same time ? is someone assisting you with the video recording ?
I have a videographer in the car with me.
@@Bigwillz the video Grapher is a pro, no shaking of your pictures. Quite commendable
@@alphonseonye3009 I will let her know. She is good
Africa is beautiful like this so why are we suffering in Europe as Africans

He is not showing concrete buildings he is showing institutions and dwelling houses. You talking of nature, are you living in trees or your work place is in the trees.
Great video! No nonsense annoying loud music that prevents viewers from hearing your description of places you show.

Goid foliage trees are not planted They shiukd plant Juniper Areca Palm sumac Cassia fistulae Ficus Plumeria Magnolia etc
OK
Nice content mate but overcast again. For a country with so much sunshine the weather is not on your side when filming.
It happens. It's the season.
Quite different from Lagos. Unlike Lagos, I love the sanity and good roads, good for those of us in the diaspora but the problem I have is the intolerance Hausa Fulanie with their unwelcoming character. I still prefer Lagos, Port Harcourt, Enugu and Benin City where life and prosperity are quarantined.Though Abuja is for people of Middle belt who do not only look like me but practice same religion ,very tolerance people but the fact that the people of core north also live and call it their homes make it a no going area for me
lol no one fights in Abuja..lived there for years..we live in peace with the hausa, fulani etc etc...All my igbo and yoruba uncles live in ABUJA making millions from big business
You are missing out ! Southerners control the business!
Bigz himself is an Edo man ( Bini) who lives in Abuja, you will be surprised how many millions of southerners live in core north Kano and Kaduna!!
Abuja is a neutral point, don’t dull, and don’t fear !
Abuja is popping!
This “abuja” is gassed up so much by Nigerians it’s almost sad. I don’t see any difference between this city and another city in a developing nation. Nigeria will never progress! It will implode. Goes for all of Africa.
Waooo
Org
not very pedestrian friendly
Lol...there are 5 ft wide pedestrian lanes by the sides of the roads, look closely after the green lanes you'll the pedestrian lanes
is there an high crime rate?
Mister D I will say no
Bigwillz thanks because almost all of sources say that Nigeria is very dangerous such as Lagos
@@donnuele7693 My dear it is not.
Bigwillz Intresting I would like after pandemic to travel in places like this
@@donnuele7693 That will be cool
The church is not Catholic but ecumenical
There is no single standard city in Nigeria. That is a shame.
The petroleum stations at the front of NNPC building environment is sandy and not maintain.

@@francisosagie3347 Lol... No, I am not! We don't like to be told the truth and is one of the reasons our environment is so dirty.

Micon plaza.. In 23 minutes.... Is a full and clear evidence on the absence of planning and studying in africa...!! Look at the windows.. Changed to A/C.. SPLIT units opening!! Why? Because air conditioning connections was not provided during plannig and designing of building???!!!!!
Maybe the designer did nit know.. Africa is hot. Kkkkkk
This is why africa is poor and undeveloped.
