- Asokoro District abuja nigeria is an exclusive, upper class neighborhood to live in abuja nigeria. it houses many important local and international institutions including ECOWAS and WorldBank. You will find many Nigeria Governors Louge and ambassadors residence in Asokoro.
Embassies and state house lodges are scattered all around the neighborhood. Nigeria’s Presidential complex known as “Aso Villa” and the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) Secretariat are both found in the district.
Other places of interest include Glamour Lounge and the National Children’s Park & Zoo.
Many of Nigeria’s high net worth individuals live in Asokoro including business magnets, celebrities and top government officials. Despite being a primarily residential district there is selected commercial activity.
The neighborhood hosts several high-class shops and restaurants. A number of Abuja’s best hotels are also sited in the area. The district has often been described as Nigeria’s most desirable place to live in.
So beautiful. It's a pitty people have to leave their beautiful country with lovely sunshine to live in places like the UK and the USA. Some of these first world countries treat people like they are from the jungle.
Thanks for watching and commenting.

Absolutely correct 👍
I tell you, you are spot on!
By the time Nigerians and indeed Africans realise their mistake, it is too late!
Instead our Africans abroad compound the problem!
Their foooolish pride won’t let them return home in a hurry, and these does two things 1) it continues to perpetuate the myth that Europe and any white country are forever better than africa for Africans still living at home!!!
And 2), the Europeans are convinced of their superiority when they see this unending influx of African toilet cleaners and care assistants trooping in to their country!
@@aframaco9491 ....a thoughtful reflection. You are right ✅. I think services and infrastructures must be made publicly available and not just for the wealthy. That is the difference compared with Europe. Nigeria 🇳🇬 has the 💰 money to develop these services, but the cash 💸 💰 are looted or stolen by politicians. Kuwait, Qatar, dubai...etc love their country better, hence the public enjoy advance services and infrastructures. The politicians in such country aren't wicked or selfish compared with Nigeria or black Africans leaders in position of power.
Abuja is a well planned city' unlike Lagos where their roads are jam-packed with traffics, am currently at a traffic hold-ups at appo junction leading to festac, it's a nightmare to navigate through traffic here.
Lagos has almost 30 million residents while Abuja has just 4 approximately.....Lagos also has the smallest landmass in all of Nigeria and for some reason everyone wants to live here, I don't think your comparison remotely makes sense honestly.
Beautiful!
wow i love this video
Great video! Thanks for sharing! 😃😊
Thank you
You are the first TH-camr that covers within Villa I think. Amazing. During obasanjo person can drive through Villa and pass the other way without being interrupted, good olden days will sure come to exist in Nigeria by the grace of God!
Amen.
Lots of security oh. Very difficult.
But I have a more detailed video on villa and National Assembly coming soon
Everything changed after that bomb blast on independence day in 2010
Amen
Thank you
Wow... it is beautiful. Thanks for sharing :)
Thank you very much for watching. Hope you are doing well
Nope, I love me Maitama.
Asokoro is not even close.
It's beautiful though.
From Model secondary school u could have gone to where Saraki side which is like maitama extension and see the very beautiful houses there or ministers hill in maitama
Mr David you are really doing a great job, I like what you are doing. Am also a graduate of tourism and hospitality management federal polytechnic idah, yeah tourism is life and travel is knowledge, keep it up bro.
You're doing a great job brother
Thank you.

Please bro I love seeing more of this kind of video also I need to see some former president house and former governor house please I no ibb house
My State, Enugu Governors lodge is beautiful. Great work as usual.
I agree oh
Asokoro, I was there the last time I was in Abuja. Very sweet place ❣️
Sure it is
@@DavidNkwa but very very expensive tho 😂
Not me....Thinking the Nelson Mandela Street is a Sign for me to visit Abuja.... My worry is I might not want to go back to Home😂
Maitama for life
Expatriates and Ambassadors don’t OWN houses in Abuja, they might live in Abuja, but they don’t own the houses!
Most do. Their countries buy and hold for their staff.
@@akendon7260 I know for a fact that Nigeria doesn’t own the houses their ambassadors and diplomats live in overseas, so I don’t understand the “most do” you are chatting!
Ambassadors and diplomats can be recalled back home or reposted to other countries , so it makes no sense to buy property in the country of service!
Why is that jealousy exist for what reasons did this come about who owns over payment please let people enjoy ☺️
@@aframaco9491 Nigeia owns properties in many countries where its diplomats are posted. Not all, of course but many. Yes, the diplomats return home but the officers' quarters and Ambassador's residence in many countries have been bought and are owned by the Federal Government of Nigeria.
❤
NICE VIDEO, GOOD JOB,, I ONLY SEE WORLD CLASS ROADS WITH ZERO STANDARD HOUSING,EVERY WHERE FENCED LIKE BARRACK
Lol fenced like barrack
Those houses re fkin expensive why won’t I fence it 🤷
Ebonyi State Government Ludge looks More Beautiful than Others
At the beginning of your video you were driving through Guzape and not Asokoro extension.
I was expecting security agencies everywhere. Is like the poor need security the more😂😂
omo see trees
Bro I watched your video about Maitama’s , you did not go everywhere in maitama
Iam asking from NYC America Is there a Tennis court there
Why are the common areas in the front always look unfinished and full of dirt?
I’d like to see more houses than roads
Noted.
You can watch my other video in drone shot.

@@DavidNkwa hi David, thanks for response. To buy a land (if one can see) in Asokoro and Maitama would be how much?
Watching this video tells me all I need to know about our psyche where development is concerned….buildings more important than facilities. State houses are seen as beautiful and your comparisons based on how ‘big’ and ‘beautifully’ built they are…..how about if these ‘Lodges’ are modestly built and the concentration of State funds spent on schools and hospitals and housing back in the state territories? No wonder the best jobs in Nigeria are in politics!
For the moment, perhaps yes, but political jobs are most transient!
Eventually, the private sector jobs would dominate… investors, industrialists, manufacturers, bankers, businessmen and women will be the yardstick for wealth and success in Nigeria!
Indeed, I believe it has already started!
Ben you have used one man’s particular and peculiar opinion to label all Nigerians !
That’s low !!
Wow some big houses.
The roads could do with some work though.
Asokoro definetly wins for me.
Really nice houses and far better roads and less barbed wire
True.
But most people prefer Maitama to Asokoro.
Maitama seems to have more greenery
ABUJA REALY LOOKS AMAZING BETTER THAN BEVERLEY HILLS OR OTHER RICH AMREICAN CITIES . I SURPRISE TO SEE IT THIS COUNTRY HOW HAVE TOO MANY POORS AND SLUMS AND DIRTY STREETS
Fool. How can it became a amazing and better than Beverly hills if there are poor people, slums and dirty roads?
How much for rent
Guzape
Maitama is too old lot of old house there so I will choose asokoro
bro we miss your rich estate videos
Point of correction! The Smoking Hill golf course in Ondo state is bigger than the IBB golf course and is the biggest golf course in Nigeria!
Noted. I was not sure actually. Thank you
Yes sir, thanks for relating back ! You are ace!!! Your content is maaad oh !
Regards!!
Thank you
I believe the biggest golf course in Nigeria is in Akwa Ibom.
@@jeanvaughn7372 Jean it’s not a matter of believing ! Google it and then come back and tell us !
Even roads in IITA in Ibadan are even better than these ones.
Aah !!! So you know that location???
My goodness, that place is fabulous!
I don’t know how the state governments in Oyo haven’t extended that fantastic infrastructure beyond the gates of the IITA in all these past decades!!
And they do badly need it, because Ibadan is one of the most shabbiest city in the whole of Nigeria !
Na wa…north south east and west, we all struggle for real visionary leadership !
Who will help us in this Nigeria ???
Any Ghanaian here , you want to compare yourself with Nigeria keep dreaming
Why the rich live there? Why can't everywhere be the same?
Don’t play
In my opinion... I think asokoro is more developed than maitama
Really not sure most people will agree oh... Thank you for watching. Do check out other content on the channel.
The road are not properly kept i can see some dirty on the road
And so?
@@aframaco9491
Go and clean it
@@petergyang9784 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 Your Fadaaah go and clean it !
@@aframaco9491 thank God I get Fadaa
You wey no know your fadaa.... Nko
@@petergyang9784 E good say you get Papa, So Therefore Get your Fadaah to sweep the streets of Abuja since you are the one complaining!
Why can't all the roads be maintained as the ones in the presidential areas? Abuja is selective of the roads to maintain. We have a lot of problems in this country. We are just punishing ourselves for primitive reasons.
Just jakpa, no mind these primitively wicked people
Lol!
They are both beautiful, but like most of west Africa it looks like a prison. Barbed wire and high walls. It takes away the beauty. Nigerians that live here in the west do not have walls around there houses. And believe me nobody has more guns than American. They are lots of break-in here and they still don't put walls around there houses. IAM not saying they're no walls here but its a small amount. Even in your downtown area there is walls around buildings not good for a walkable city gas station, restaurants. Shops everywhere walls. Again takes away the beauty. Take south Africa they don't have walls around the city. houses yes. But not in an estate. Most of the estate in Nigeria has walls around the houses even with hours security. Nigeria does not have more break-ins than American. ( something to think about)
I disagree. I grew up in Nigeria in an upper middle class family, and I currently live in USA. Back in Nigeria, even with the walls my house was robbed about 5 times. My mum was kidnapped from our own compound. 🤷🏾♂️. The police in Nigeria is not as Good as the FBI here, there's no comparison. There are so many other reasons for the wall😑.
It’s too late, it’s a cultural mentality that is in deep now in Nigeria ! Everything operates behind walls !
Everything operated behind walls. Lol
However with the rising insecurity in the country, wall are inevitable sha
@@haziri5118 you must live in a bubble here. I know iam much older then you. i have seen a lot know a lot. they have kidnapping all the time you just don't see it on cnn and fox all the time. there are robbery and breaking on a daily basis. not to mention murder. if someone really wants you no wall is going to stop them. also you did not read all my comment. I said Nigeria has walls around everything. even with 24 hour security. the problem with most west african is you love America and Europe too much. fixed the problems at home and make Nigeria better stop running away to white people country. I on the other hand have no choice my ancestors was sold into slavery by some of your ancestors. you don't like the government change them. we had one idiot for 4 years which by the way nigerians love no wonder you have a government that are idiots. it seems like you love idiots. africa is the richest continent on earth but africans are not taken advantage of it. they rather run away to Europe and America to drive taxi and clean white people shit. some of them go to South Africa and get killed because they are nigerians. nigerians help develop other countries and curse their own. even a poor country like India nigerians go to why? they hate you their also. the moral of the story is stay in Nigeria and fixed the problem and make it a great place to be.
You will remain second class citizen in Caucasians USA forever, while Nigerians own and control thier father land 100%
Lol...that entire area is at the beginning is guzape
Oh really? Thank you
Which is Asokoro extension as stated!
Stolen funds in exhibition
This looks like a slum compared to RUNDA, NAIROBI, KENYA
Liar. Kenya is village compared to Nigeria

Stop being a nuisance. Hold your state governor and elected officials responsible for the development of your state
Thanks, keep on following and worshipping the evil fulani since U people have become part of their lives and family, but one day will come and don't U forget this day, bye.
