@@Mark-z5v8m you are right but do we have any natural disaster in that country? The answer is no and that's why I linked their disaster to natural disaster
Abuja is the Capital of Nigeria. Lagos used to be the Capital. No, we have not witnessed any natural disasters in WEST Africa except for floods which is in Lagos and some outside Lagos. Now in Nigeria, we have the Northern part of Nigeria, which is Abuja, Kano, Kaduna etc; then the West, which is Lagos, Ibadan etc, in the East we have Enugu, Owerri etc and in the South of Nigeria, we have Port Harcourt, Akwa Ibom etc… these are the cities in those regions or areas but not the States. So, when you do the map, you were seeing Abuja outside Nigeria but, it is Inside Nigeria. You will understand it better when you take a trip. Hope this helps!
Abuja is knowingly pinpointed as a central location! In relation to Lagos, Abuja is in the north, in relation to Kano, Abuja is in the South! I think it's best referred to as the Middle Belt!👍🏾 👊🏾🇳🇬👊🏾🇳🇬!!
You just divided Nigeria into four cardinals but in real sense it has 6 geopolitical zones: South south, South west, South east, North central, North west and North east. Abuja is in north central, kano and Kaduna are north west. Lagos and Ibadan are south west, Port Harcourt and Akwa Ibom are south south, Owerri and Enugu are south east.
Its not the president house the owner of the white house is a Nigerian oil mogul from northern part of Nigeria ..his name is Abubakar Aliyu . The Chairman of AA oil.
Basically almost every where in Africa most homes are built with concrete because African continent has a lot of natural stones that are readily available and cheap too.
She's smart about the water front. The soil in Abuja is naturally red in colour, because of the high content of iron in the soil. So water bodies take the colour of the soil.
No, I think it was the building of the apartments (the dig8ng of the foundations that unsettled the soil. I've been to Jabi Lake from many times even before those apartments were built.
Nigeria is very beautiful and there are still other beautiful cities with beautiful houses like Portharcourt, Calabar, Uyo, Jos, Enugu , and the rest. But you will deffinately be wowed to see bigger mantions in villages or hometowns in the Eastern part of the country😊. That is because the Igbo people of Nigeria are typically from that region and they prioritise building mansions in their hometowns. This is very beautiful because you get to experience luxury at the countryside or billage, and not just while you are in the city❤
I appreciate both of you for your observations, personal growth in your knowledge and understanding of what Nigeria is and indeed for how Nigeria needs to develop for the future of the nation. I must add however that there are many more cities towns and villages with greater potential and standing. Ibadan, Enugu, Jos Calabar, I could mention 100 more where your own personal tastes can be achieved. I do also say cautionarily that Nigeria is still extremely tough for most! Great reactions, I thank you.
Flooding is one the most common natural disasters. And the hurricanes actually starts 2 miles off the west coast of Africa. Hope this gives you an insight?
Nigeria does not experience any natural disaster. People talking about flooding here are exaggerating things as flooding is occasional in just few places and not all that serious. The water flows away in matter of a few hours as soon as it stopped raining.
Don't say that. Every year when the Cameroonians release their dam, villages along the Benue river in Taraba state lose most of their crops too flood. That is VERY serious
@@ElijahSir-gawi Those were houses built on flood plains. Houses are not supposed to be there. Houses were not built there originally. Where these places Lagos, the houses will be demolished.
They are mesmerized and can’t comprehend how developed Nigeria is. They were expecting to see Nigerians living on tree houses. There are posh houses all over the country. Navigate Nigeria further and you will be more amazed and your heartache will aggravate.
By the way, I don't know if people have mentioned but the big white house isn't the president's The president lives at the "Aso Villa" in an area we call "Aso Rock" and a city we call "Asokoro"
Flood is our most common natural development and occasionally, tornado touchdowns. This reason for this, for example, hurricanes that hits the United States are formed from the hot Sahara desert air currents which travel over the Atlantic Ocean and eventually meet the cold air currents coming from Canada.
Niger has never witnessed a single tornado. You do not know what a tornado is. What we experienced occasionally are sandstorms or a very small whirlwind.
That white building is a house, its called "Queen Lilian". A man built it for his wife. I asked the security guards who are stationed there and asked if it was actually a house too.
ABUJA is the capital of Nigeria and it is in the North-Central region of Nigeria. That is the seat of government like Washington DC in America. Luckily, Nigeria doesn't really have issues with natural disasters except floods and landslides. Also, the massive white house in this video ain't the President's crib like you think 😂😂 The Presidential Villa is called ASO ROCK, just like the White House in America.

Lagos is the largest city, Kano in Kano State is the second largest city, Port Harcourt is the third largest city, Kaduna is the fourth largest, Abuja is the fifth largest city in Nigeria. 99% of all homes and other built up property in Nigeria, is paid-up purchased, the other 1% are mortgaged. Mortgages are not really a thing here. There are no hurricanes or tornados or typhoond or earthquakes or volcanic eruptions in Nigeria. The comments talking about flooding have no idea what real flooding (a la Louisania when levees fail) looks like. When you see the $ sign in these videos, it refers to US dollars. The Nigerian currency is called the Naira and uses the ₦ symbol. Nigeria doesn't enforce speed limits, but there are minimum speed limits on highways (100km/hr) and maximum speed limits on on/off ramps(50km/hr) and within urban streets (30km/hr) but as a matter of principle, we don't observe the speed limits and the Police don't enforce them. Any other questions you have about Nigeria, let me know and I will try to give you the answers. PS: That "White House" y'all kept talking about? It's owned by an oil fortune billionaire, I drive past it literally everyother day. And he is not even close to being the wealthiest person in that particular suburb of Abuja
Nigerian homes are MOSTLY DONE WITH CONCRETE AND CEMENT. We have a sizeable amount of limestone in Nigeria so we can get iur iwn CEMENT. The most of natural disaster we have in Nigeria is MOSTLY floods. Some few states have erosion problems though. Very few states. In the northern part of Nigeria, we have desertification. Apart from that. Nigeria ix good. The dollar sign is USUALLY USD.
And guess what causes the erosions? Flood. And why do you have flood problems? Infrastructure negligence and lack of planning. Africa is far too blessed which is why your governments are lazy and corrupt.
So let me just explain how we segment cities here in Nij (not necessarily segment but u get what i mean😂) In Abuja, It is just a chill place where you go to go and relax or for Business trip... Same with Port Harcourt.... But when it comes to night life and entertainment, We leave it for Lagos and Calabar....

@@mazijoseph8177 You make reasonable points of sorts i must agree. But then I think a national (re)orientation is in order first!. At least to get rid of the Nigerian Locust mentality! Every Nigerian screams about our bad leaders, nobody talks about the terrible followership! The locusts mentality to destroy everything in its wake , needs to be remedied as a matter of course! There is no bridge or flyover in Lagos in particular where the hand railings are still in place!! People strip these aluminium railings which are meant to provide safety, off to sell or use for themselves! Even the newly refurbished Third mainland bridge was not spared! The second Niger bridge spanning Asaba to Onitsha was opened to much aplomb after decades of it being built!! This bridge was constructed and opened with what you mentioned...to create an economic environment for people to raise money!! But within months of it being opened, people were vandalising the edifice, the metal components were stripped and stolen leaving the bridge dangerous to use!! Any protests in Nigeria ends with the serious damage and ruination of toll gates , bus shelters and even private business properties! In the Niger Delta, the worst possible humanitarian crisis is being caused on a monthly basis! Pipelines and oil flow stations in the region are being destroyed by human leeches!! They smash open these pipelines, to tap the crude, but are unable( possibly unwilling) to cork it back, so the crude seeps into the rivers, creating an enormous environmental degradation! In the southeast, misguided and misled youths are holding the citizens to ransom on a weekly basis by their illegally imposed "sit-at-home" campaign!! The most industrious hub in the entire Nigeria, cannot trade or do business without a threat to their lives and livelihood!! Similar decadence is in the north, where bandits and kidnappers have blighted the region and as such if affects farming and food crisis!! So "we the people" have not yet learned about civic responsibility and full national patriotism!! So you see, the leaders can only be as effective as the followership allows them to be!! In life , if you plant the wind, you will reap the Whirlwind!!! 👊🏾🇳🇬👊🏾🇳🇬!!
8:57 Nigerians have never been known to build houses with wood but clay or concrete breaks. About disasters, we have erosions, flooding, sand storms and some man made disasters
That's not the president's house, but there a couple of house just like that "white house" here in Abuja. The president's house in Nigeria is call Aso Villa, and it's a lot more nicer on the inside than on the outside. There are barely any police stops in Abuja, but if you get in a police chase, I can assure you that you will not and cannot escape. After all, the president stays here and the city is designed to prevent things like this. Payment systems in Nigeria in Nigeria now is very good. Local bank transfers settle in less than a minute, cross-border or international transfers settle in range of 1 minute to as much as 3 days (US payments). Zoning of apartments is not lenient, your house will get demolished if not approved. No fix this or fix that, they'll tear it down. That $15m dollar house does have all those things you mentioned, I've been there. Steven probably just got bad footage of it or lost some footage during editing. That's the backyard. ABUJA has a bustling night life. Nigerians, we do know how to party.
Fine girl, you are absolutely correct about the water. I want to add that the Jabi lake is a man made lake. Just as you checked the map and spotted Abuja in a landlocked area, I curiously googled the history of Jabi lake.
Also, you need to consider the exchange rate of the Naira to the Dollar. Once you do that, then you would be able to understand the amount of money being mentioned.
There are families that have have more than 6 kids and it is very normal lol so they need space and big homes, and leaving with extended family is a norm here.
Abuja is a city of hills and valleys; but what most people don't know is, it's standing on faultlines with potential for future earthquake...few years ago the city experienced a tremor!
BRo, there are no natural disasters to speak of in Nigeria or West Africa for that matter. The prices are definitely US dollars. That said, the prices are like that because you are actually paying for the house in cash. No loan, hence there is not interest rate to inflate the price. If you see a Nigerian with his house, he built it with his cash. Same with cars.
We have 36 cities as state capitals and Abuja as the Federal capital territory. Each state has a minimum of 2 or 3 mini cities or towns. Nigeria is divided into two regions South and North. Southern and Northern regions are further divided into geopolitical zones making a total of six zones. Lagos is in Southern Nigeria while Abuja is Northern Nigeria. Lagos is located in South West Nigeria while Abuja is located in North Central Nigeria. So being Lagos and Abuja means that the person has only been to only two sub regions out of six and every other sub region have it's own peculiarities. Different cultures, languages, foods and others. The life style of Lagos for example is different from that of Lagos or Port Harcourt vise versa.
Abuja is smack dap in the center of the country. It came about through what many would feel is ethno-political shenanigans. Lemme explain. Lagos was both the political and commercial capital of Nigeria up until the 80s. The Northern ethnic group, the Hausas who make up one part of the trifecta of the 3 major ethnic groups in Nigeria (Igbos & Yorubas being the other two) used the power of incumbency (they held political power at the time) to convince the country that Lagos (in the south west) was situated too far away from the rest of the country -- in other words, "too far from their own enclave". They suggested they carve land from, I believe, three of the most centralized states (kinda like how DC was created from land donated by the states of Maryland and Virginia) in the country. And that the distance from the four corners of the country to Abuja would be relatively the same. And peeps bought into it. The Northern part of the country is kinda like the US north vs south. The Northern US is industrialized and more developed than the deep south. But in Nigeria its the reverse: The south is leaps ahead of the North both in education and infrastructure. So moving the Capital towards the North was their way of consolidating power. Or at least that's their reasoning.
Not everyone wealthy Nigerian man have many wives, many have just one. But polygamy is accepted in some culture especially in the north. But note, Nigeria is a diverse country in terms of tribes and region
The Bible does not forbid several wives as all the names famous from Abraham had several wives . But many Nigerian Men and most of them have just one wife because ALL NIGERIAN WOMEN are feminine and keep their feminine side and don't try to be a Man but very strong and sometimes more successful than the Men
We don't know anything as hurricane or earthquake. We only experience flood also not every part experience flood. We sell most properties in Nigeria in US dollars even some school fees.
No Nigeria don't have any severe natural disasters, except seasonal flooding in the Atlantic Ocean coastal cities like Lagos, Port Harcourt, Warrington/Sapele and Calabar.
That is a private home not president house and that is not even most beautiful house in Abuja google the most expensive house in Abuja and you will see that this house is not among

Yes, they are built like that because you are your own insurance protection. Built to last.
It’s not the president’s house. Presidents house is called Aso Rock; and also white and there in Abuja.
Abuja is a city of hills and valleys; but what most people don't know is, it's standing on faultlines with potential for future earthquake...few years ago the city experienced a tremor!
Really?
Yeah please dyor on google @@Cedarwoman
Nigeria does not have an earthquake, hurricane, or earth tremors.
No speed limit on express way, just smaller roads and sensible residential areas.... If this helps..😂😂
We live to the top.
You only get police check point on highway 20:00
That’s not the president’s 😂
He lives in a very secluded area called Aso Villa with some other dignitaries
Big houses without constant supply of electricity and tap water
BRo, there are no natural disasters to speak of in Nigeria or West Africa for that matter. The prices are definitely US dollars. That said, the prices are like that because you are actually paying for the house in cash. No loan, hence there is not interest rate to inflate the price. If you see a Nigerian with his house, he built it with his cash. Same with cars.
12:50 ain’t your fault . Got it too 🤣🤣 !!!
We have 36 cities as state capitals and Abuja as the Federal capital territory. Each state has a minimum of 2 or 3 mini cities or towns. Nigeria is divided into two regions South and North. Southern and Northern regions are further divided into geopolitical zones making a total of six zones. Lagos is in Southern Nigeria while Abuja is Northern Nigeria. Lagos is located in South West Nigeria while Abuja is located in North Central Nigeria. So being Lagos and Abuja means that the person has only been to only two sub regions out of six and every other sub region have it's own peculiarities. Different cultures, languages, foods and others. The life style of Lagos for example is different from that of Lagos or Port Harcourt vise versa.
Excellently said! 👍🏼
No property tax. When you own a property it’s yours completely
Armed robbers. Mostly built fortified for security reasons. If they build with wood in Nigeria you’ll be robbed literally weekly
Abuja is smack dap in the center of the country. It came about through what many would feel is ethno-political shenanigans.
Lemme explain.
Lagos was both the political and commercial capital of Nigeria up until the 80s. The Northern ethnic group, the Hausas who make up one part of the trifecta of the 3 major ethnic groups in Nigeria (Igbos & Yorubas being the other two) used the power of incumbency (they held political power at the time) to convince the country that Lagos (in the south west) was situated too far away from the rest of the country -- in other words, "too far from their own enclave".
They suggested they carve land from, I believe, three of the most centralized states (kinda like how DC was created from land donated by the states of Maryland and Virginia) in the country. And that the distance from the four corners of the country to Abuja would be relatively the same. And peeps bought into it.
The Northern part of the country is kinda like the US north vs south. The Northern US is industrialized and more developed than the deep south. But in Nigeria its the reverse: The south is leaps ahead of the North both in education and infrastructure. So moving the Capital towards the North was their way of consolidating power. Or at least that's their reasoning.
Cash app works in Nigeria
Not like that we only have government disaster.
Not everyone wealthy Nigerian man have many wives, many have just one. But polygamy is accepted in some culture especially in the north. But note, Nigeria is a diverse country in terms of tribes and region
The Bible does not forbid several wives as all the names famous from Abraham had several wives .
But many Nigerian Men and most of them have just one wife because ALL NIGERIAN WOMEN are feminine and keep their feminine side and don't try to be a Man but very strong and sometimes more successful than the Men
We don't know anything as hurricane or earthquake. We only experience flood also not every part experience flood. We sell most properties in Nigeria in US dollars even some school fees.
Abuja is suited in the North Central of Nigeria.
Are you guys comfortable? I mean, might you need to change your format to give you both elbow room!

No Nigeria don't have any severe natural disasters, except seasonal flooding in the Atlantic Ocean coastal cities like Lagos, Port Harcourt, Warrington/Sapele and Calabar.
Nigeria does not have any natural disasters and has never had any natural disasters
That’s not the president’s house
In Nigeria it’s called villa
That’s just a random mansion
Abuja is smack in the middle of Nigeria. It was designed that way since its was a planned capital. They decided to build arround the exact center
Hell yeah🎉🎉🎉
5:30 Abuja is in the north and trust be we battle with wildlife everyday, don't trust Stephen 😹😹😹
Abuja is in the Middle Belt region.

No speed limit actually if there is no police to hold you drive your car anyhow you want literally
