    Whenever he is asked who lives in these expensive places? its always: "ministers" , "politicians" and "top military officials"
    Not business folks, tech gurus or innovative young minds.

      Happy to see at least one comment pointing that out. Political ethics in Africa does not exist at all and the extent of bribery is insane. It's a nation struggling to survive and funding the life of privileged few (criminals). Nothing to be impressed about. Hopeless for the whole continent.

      I can assure you that you are wrong my brother! I don't know if you are on the continent or overseas but I've been back for 15 years now and I can tell you for a fact that there's real wealth on the ground here that has nothing to do with politics! Nigeria has a population of over 150.000.000 people how many of those dyou think are into politics? But when you see the amount of wealth on display in Nigeria it's not just sustainable that politicians are behind it all

    • @aframaco9491
      @aframaco9491 Před 7 měsíci +5

      That , actually is an often repeated lazy summation!
      For a start, there is no such thing as a "politician" in the true sense of the word!
      Most people who go into politics are often people who have had previous different careers !
      And of course only people of means mostly go into politics in the first place!
      Lawyers, ex military generals, bankers, businesspersons and even doctors all get involved in politics!
      But many Nigerians don't seem to take on board that politics is very transient!
      Politicians win elections and lose elections , they can be impeached, their tenures in office do come to an end!
      Additionally, court tribunals can upturn election results and sack any incumbents!
      Instinctively, most politicians, like most Nigerians actually do like to retire to their home states .
      All told, politicians along the three tiers of government are not up to 20,000 individuals!
      So how can 20,000 or so people own or occupy over one and a half million homes in Abuja??
      We are too quick to buy into these tropes of corrupt politicians dominating our society!

      This is why the country is never going to move forward. Politicians are living like celebrities in a country whereby millions cannot afford one meal per day. Majority of them made their money through corruption benefitting from the country cake. If we have a good country like the United States or Britain then most should be in prison by now. They don’t even pay property taxes or contribute a dime to the economy.

      Late President Mugabe's quote onAfrican Education System has surprising outcomes.
      "The smartest students pass with 1st Class & get admission to medical & Engineering schools. The 2nd Class Students get MBAs and LLBs to manage the First Class students. The 3rd Class Students enter politics, and rule both 1st and 2nd Class students. The failures join the Army and control politicians who, if they are not happy with, they kick or kill them..... Best of all those who did not attend any school, become prophets & witch doctors, and everybody follows them."

    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.

      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.

    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.

    Hi Steve. This is a great reveal. Thanks, I loved it. You'll do well to reflect this areas on the map of Abuja. This way, we have a sense of their location in relation to, for instance, the CBD. Katampe looks like a place I'd love to have a home.

    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.

    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.
