Largest Slums in Nigeria Capital City, Abuja

The 10 largest slums that exist in Abuja Nigeria are located in Jabi village, Garki village, Asokoro Village, Kpaduma, Apo village, Mapape, Gwarinpoa village, Utako village, Mabuchi village, and kado village. Are these villages are slums within the city center.
This is a documentary video showing the slums in Abuja Nigeria
The government has tried to demolished various slums in Abuja, but over time, it resurfaces again, because there is no affordable housing scheme by the government.
Housing deficit in Nigeria is over 65% regardless of what the government data says. Many people can afford to pay rates in Abuja, so they live in the slums

Breathtaking cinematography David, and the production and editing are world class. If this was shown on BBC2 in the UK you'd have millions of viewers.

Thank you Mark for you kind words always. Appreciate you watching and commenting 😊

[@truezladye1893]

That's true I had the same thoughts.

Thanks for this video. These are the areas you will never see on TV 📺 when government promotes Abuja to the world.

[@wowneche]

This is a big problem that need to be solved
If someone like me lived in Abuja I'm still going to live in one of these places
Government should develope cheaper housing for the low income earners that's one of the first step in stopping the rise of slum settlements

[@DavidNkwa]

True 💯

[@Bigwillz]

Honestly speaking something has to be done to solve this problem.. The government need to step in to develop affordable housing for the low income earners. Thanks for sharing

[@DavidNkwa]

You are right Bigwilz, we need affordable housing that will truly get to the poor. Thanks for stopping by bro.

[@Bigwillz]

@@DavidNkwa 💯❤️

[@tosinojo7310]

The only thing that will be done is sending those people out. When you TH-camrs make videos like these …just know it will not be of benefit to the residents. The government has a one track mind ands it’s centered arround capitalism. That’s how many of these communities are noticed by the government and made homeless

[@DavidNkwa]

@Tosin, your comments shows you did not watch the first video, do check it out

[@sidex4]

You and I know where the problem is....if these houses are built, the people at the higher level would buy them up and turn it to something else. I see what was done at apo resettlement, today, its no longer for low income earners. If corruption can be eliminated, I believe it would really help in solving this big issue.

[@jmarilyn1747]

The people look very happy and doing the best they can

[@harrycarry9896]

All that sun and not a solar panel in sight? not even in the affluent areas...

[@dr.kashifulhaq6372]

A great insight on the situation in Abuja. Great to see. Nice filming.
Thanks for your hard work.❤

[@patjlinnane]

Breaks my heart i had to help pay rent for my gf. she lives in Jikwoyi in Karu. And thats a slum too even though she doesnt want to admit to it. Self contain 250k ngn. But she says its easy for her to get to the city and her cousins in Nasawara. At least she has street light and no crime there.

[@JoyGift-zx6bj]

Good job 👍

[@misswogdaily2344]

Greetings my African brother. I have enjoyed watching your last couple of videos on the Nigerian slums. You may have mentioned this in your video but some parts I couldn't hear; but, I was thinking the government could create low income apartments and slowly move residents from these communities into the apartments. They could choose which families move first based on the first letter of their last name; for example: A-C would move first; then D -F... I saw something like this implemented in Kigali Rwanda except the families were placed in beautiful low income homes instead of apartments.The neighborhood was SUPER clean.

[@DavidNkwa]

Excellent suggestions, however for now, this is not been done

[@anikeadegoke2112]

Thanks David....top notch video...watching from the UK

[@DavidNkwa]

Thank you

[@medfitconsultant]

When you consider civilisation, in this age, you will expect Nigeria to have moved on, but the mindset of Nigerian politicians is far from reality. Keep exposing the weakness of government and hopefully one day they will get the message.

[@oluwashinalasisi5606]

The conditions of living here are not so good honestly especially in terms of the environment and all but I understand people live here mostly due to financial constraints.

[@motherofallnationadefoundation]

Hello can I get your number ? I would love to visit any of the villages.

[@margitbach4802]

Never in my life I saw such a traffic like in Abuja

[@hayal1693]

Somehow if I could help my sisters & brother it trust it could bring joy to me. Who ever owns the village , collecting the rent should do the sewer system at lest so the waste not a trail in the walk way. Who pays that builder that was doing the brick work or repairing the building. Maybe the people just might not want improvements.

Abuja is a well planned city. Are the 10 slums there included in the plan?😅 All the markets there are dilapidated and look like shanties with unconcrete roads that makes the market messy.

[@godfreyojeator999]

I was trying to come visit Abuja now this video is scaring me off because Abuja was never like this in the 80s when I lived there.

[@DavidNkwa]

It has always been this way, you just didn't visit this part of Abuja.
The good part of Abuja you know is still the same way and better

[@akrikaakrika1474]

Unbelievable! It's like every district and highbrow area has it's own slum, non of which is fit for human habitation. What about Kabusa? Overall, this must have not been easy to do. Good job!

[@ryantaylor6935]

David Nkwa, nice video bro, what is the percentage of people living in the slum compared to people living in the beautiful neighborhood?

[@DavidNkwa]

There are no official data to show. However, I will say 70-30, especially if you have to put together all the slums in Abuja

[@Bigwillz]

I think your approximation will be just about right. You have more people living under these conditions than those living in the estates.

[@akinkunmiakinpelu6263]

I thought Abuja was planned and designed as an improvement on Nigeria’s erstwhile capital, Lagos. God knows why we get everything wrong in Nigeria. The Brazilians built themselves a beautiful new administrative capital in the State of Goias. Their new capital city is called Brasilia and has never been blighted by slums. Brasilia remains a beautiful enclave to behold. Brazil has nearly the same population as Nigeria. So, population explosion is no excuse for successive Ministers that have administered Abuja. El Rufai, over to you! Why did you let this happen to Abuja. You used to be in charge of Abuja. Please explain how these ugly structures came about.

[@Open_DoorMedia]

I'm disappointed to see that all the highbrow areas in Abuja have slums within them. After watching this video, I can conclude that Lagos is actually well planned(in the real sense of it) than Abuja. Abuja is a facade.

[@sharonsmith1505]

Walking through does what, if not to help them. I See Asians doing the same in villages. But no help. All us I have not seen a Caucasian village yet.

[@augreybaker9800]

Everywhere in the world were is a big city is slum, and poverty because people move there for work. And because it’s very expensive they have to resort and compromise to survive for their families.

[@joelsonsilva397]

Are these places that you are visited dangerous or not?
Here in Brazil, these places are considered hight violent... We call it favela.
It's impossible record these places as you was recorded...
