I absolutely agree. Im Zimbabwean married to a Nigerian. The first thing I did when we moved to Lagos was to plant a lot of beautiful flowers and shrubs. The workers at first thought I was crazy digging. Nigeria has so many beautiful species of flowers.
As an architect, the finishing is indeed very poor for a luxury mansion, I wish we would actually know and respect the meaning of luxury in Nigeria, not using generic Deidei market finishings. Great tour and commentary!!!
@@danielokolo97 but I feel that's nothing but the truth the gold railings look cheap the kitchen lighting is wrong, mansions are meant to have greenery this is just cement and paint and why are the doors looking so cheap, the entire interior is a disaster
@@akpakp3196you don’t talk down someone’s work that way as if he’s fighting with the person. Even if the home is that bad as he’s making it look, he should’ve taken a more subtler approach to it not being too bad mouthed about it.. that was too much.
Great video ... 1. When the guy on native said "lots & lots of dignitaries here" at 2:05 , he meant "lots & lots of Nigerian thieves" 😄😄... 2.

The outside trees being too tall and way too close to the house 2:58 will definitely undermine the security of the house (with the present security situation in Nigeria) in case of an attack. Attackers would have been too close to the rear fence before they are even noticed to be repelled. The trees would give them the much needed cover they need. 4. I could not spot any CCTV for surveillance (maybe it is present but I did not notice it or it is still being set up). 5. Great job with the bulletproof (if true) entrance door 4:07. 6. No greenery. 7. I could also not spot any fire extinguisher or sprinkler system (maybe they are still being processed like the fire alarm 11:50). I believe that a $1.3m property should have all of these included.
Nigerians associate “greenery” with bush or poverty. I’ve seen concrete slabs be referred to as “clean.” There’s just a general dislike of greenery in general.
I have for a while compared houses in South Africa and Nigeria. I have noticed houses in South Africa are way cheaper and way better. Nigeria is great too but I think prices there are way too high
Whoever's reading this, I pray that whatever you're going through gets better and whatever your struggling with or worrying about is going to be fine and that everyone has a fantastic day Amen
I would definitely redesign the interior design in the kitchen and bathroom as well as the outdoor landscaping. Also redesign to get more natural lighting. Otherwise great space 🙂
Steve please tell your friend to start adding greenery in his apartments. Let it be part of it cos is important for nature. Things like coconut, guava, mango trees etc instead of artificial greenery and non useful trees. He's great inside but outside should be upgraded or else it might be difficult for him to sell his exceptional arts. He's doing great, and I'll like to work with him in future. How can one connect with the company?
It’s too dark the windows are too small there’s no lawns no green spaces too much gold paint . I don’t think they’ve ever heard of understated elegance
Honestly Steven, you pointed out all I didn’t like. This house was just big and not functional and didn’t scream luxury for it’s price. The worst room for me was the kitchen. I think it just need to be redone. Still think is a beautiful home.
I honestly think House like this should be illegal to build. How the hell do you build a home on 1800sqmtr without a single touch of greenery anywhere. Don’t even get me started on the the design, layout and decor. Gosh what is wrong with people in this country. For such amount of money with horribly cheap finish. Where are the regulators? Oh they too don’t know any better never mind. But this is what happens when you lack standard (I mean quality standard) any one is a builder now
Thank you so much for this. This is a bullcrap design for any schooled and tutored eyes this nothing but a gilded cage. #800,000,000 for this? Walled in , no greens... I'm tired of Naija Architecture-- largely utilitarian but less Aesthetic
You might be right, but you might also be wrong. The only way to find out is to try it out for yourself. Buhari has made everything, including building materials, very expensive and, from the look of this building, it seems most of the materials used were imported. Then factor in the cost of land in Abuja. Of course, builders go collect their own from inside.
Thank God you guys pointed out my major concern, the issue of greenery. We have to address that in Nigeria. Artificial greenery is still a no-no for me. Nice property anyways.
Very big no no. How can I buy concretes full compound without greenery. Nigerian developers aren't getting it. Funnily enough it will be difficult to sell that house in Abuja die to lack of greenery areas.
Nice house though, the Kitchen island is too small for that huge space, remove the club lights from the kitchen because I will like to see the colour of my jollof rice. Also, the environment matters when choosing a house👍🏼I need to see same quality and house design on the street. Can’t be the only rich person in the neighborhood. 🤷🏻♀️ Beautiful house👏🏼👏🏼
Shocking over the top fecor choices. What were they thinking? 1.3 million no land or landscape whatsoever. These lights, is it to be used as a night club club? Heavens! They need help in decorating. Good luck finding a buyer who will like this garish place.!
This house is huge n nice 🥰🥰🥰 But Why most nigerian houses dnt have Garages - cars packing outside get damaged with change in weather 🤦🏽♂️ Nigerian houses n attention to detail 🔥🔥🔥🔥🥰🥰🥰🥰 but i feel they lack somethings - ive never seen an open plan from lounge, dining room to kitchen - its door n lots of doors - n thats unnecessary - doors are necessary in bedrooms n entrance to house the rest theres no need 🤦🏽♂️ The kitchen island is too small - for that big kitchen a bigger island with a stove in the middle would do - This days we do a potable kitchen - den do Scullery and storage for our food n kitchen utensils- den main kitchen is appliances we use daily n mini table for quick breakfast. I agree those lights are too much - one could get 😵💫 dizzy
Quite a luxurious house, excellent finishing but poor planning honestly, the kitchen could be designed a whole lot more better and what're those lights, Greenery is a must have, a garden, trees to bring down the temperature and also to enjoy a nice view, not feeling the completely concrete structure
The entire house is a poor use of space. The kitchen, stairs and hallways especially, all that space for what? Don't even start with me on the outside concretes....all that for $1.3 million. No way!
@@2020pancaro Concrete house cost more money. It's a choice and taste of individual... Go to most America billionaire houses, you will hardly see tress🎄 or any flowering decoration.

I love African architecture, art, furniture and fabric. If I were rich, I would have a collection of things from every African country. I absolutely love the round mud house with the thatched roof. I thank God that my ancestors were Africans.
I'm sorry to say but houses in Nigeria are not built in a standard level go to south Africa please go and check out how mansions look I'm not impression please we need to upgrade
Awesome video! 👏🏽 The house is very massive and the spaces very generous. You said most things on my mind, particularly the lack of greenery with such amount of land space. They shouldn’t be even talking about artificial greenery. They’d best break up some of those concrete and plant trees and flowers. I thought I was the only one that I had a problem with the small seize of wardrobes. The party lights in the kitchen is totally unnecessary. And the ones by the stair area too.
Another great video my brother, I still can't understand why you where not invited to the South African tourist indaba. Caz your work speaks for itself. An tour some of our South african properties on that price rage an see the difference. It would b interesting. Like I said great work 👏
Uninspiring and lacks imagination. With a budget like that, surely they could have done so much better. The kitchen was a flop, it feels like the designer would be better suited for designing night clubs than kitchens, the wall tiles in the bathroom with a jacuzzi was ghastly. The use of gold paint came across as tacky. Not much to like about the house. The lack of any green space is very telling. I would give it a 4 out of ten, not worth the price point.
Your 4 is graceful. This is a catastrophe. Oh dear! It doesn't look like an architect worked on this. I can't even believe it was approved. But then again...Nigeria. Ugh! Such a waste of funds.

Beautiful house, I wish it was built in an area that is fully developed with neighbors all over the place. The greens can easily be modified. I rather build this house using rammed earth, to make the house cool all year round!!! If I have the money to buy this house, I rather build mine to my own specifications!!!
@@IdorenyinIbanga_ I know there well and I do know one thing, it is good for a neighborhood to be full and everything. You know exactly what I am saying anyway.
We Nigerians too do paparazzi for house. I will give that kitchen 4% out of 10, and the tiles 3 and half out of 10.. Those are bad ground tiles. The toilet tiles are far better than the rooms tile. Why that? The engineer need to be whipped.. I bought a house in Tallinn Estonia for 1.550M Euro, far beautiful than this Abuja house.. Inside swimming pool.. I can send you a link of my house if u want, and whenever u come to Estonia u can come check it out.
the house looks good, is not everyone that like Grass and trees in their compound, I can't be clearing grass always n lots of dried leaf everywhere, I love this house
This is a ugly ass House. It's not modern at all, it's just a mixture of a basic building with ancient Greek/Roman columns to make it seem grandeur. More so, as Nigerians we should also focus on garden architecture. A house or a building can never be complete, unless the outside area is also well designed. That's means more greenery, trees, flowers, plants, lighting systems, masonry etc. Omo, this one na higgy hagga........ Anywho, Steven you are just doing your job. I appreciate your content and your efforts bro.
House feels like a project done by a village developer who never sat a day in an architectural class! House is ugly asf! Big for nothing! With such land mass no greenery, layout is terrible and price point is scandalous!!!
this is the kind of house someone who got illegal government wealth with no creativity would buy. take out the guest house, move the main house back, bring the pool to the front and give it a different shape with maybe a hot tub attached to it, put some chair or some kind of sitting area close to it, put some natural plants around and in front of the fence, remove ALL the gold and replace it with white stainless or rose gold, make the gate design simpler, put a half basket court or something in one Conner and then maybe i'll consider dropping $1300000 for it
Cemented floor everywhere. No beautiful garden landscape. This is the problem with Nigerian developers. They don't know that soil helps to reduce the sun's heat and makes houses comfortable. The house looks like a warehouse from the outside. But inside is not bad
Nice big Abuja traditional house. I would have eliminated the guest house to make the pool bigger and create a garden. I would have created a third floor with a flat roof that can be used. Somebody that buys this house can make those changes.
As someone who is into building luxury houses and apartments in UK , i strongly believe the house is a waste of resources , kitchen is a NO NO for me , ironmongery is not befitting a property of this magnitude, spaces are wasted and above all no green environment, common guys this is 21st century.
Yeah, there's enough space for the rooms to have bigger walk-in closets. There's space to add more closets though. The pool should have been stretched a bit more too, so swimmers can do proper laps. The way it is now is just suitable for getting in and splashing water, not ideal for actual swimming. Narrow but long pools are more useful; you can mess around in them and serious swimmers can also do laps in them; they are actually aptly named lap pools. I also think the developer set too much of a tone for the decor of the house with all the gold trims. This makes it a harder sell to people that have a different decor philosophy.
The pool oh I cry for the pool …. 😭😭😭.. come on if this is called a Modern house in Nigeria .. then why be so partial to the pool .. Abi the architect dey vex !!!All the talk about ..so much space this !! So much space that !!!
The exterior of the house is beautiful but in some parts of the house luxury is lacking and I feel like a lot of the design was a little too basic in terms of the price. I also personally feel there was too much contrast with the tiles in the kitchen and queen bathroom ( wide space though, which is good). As u also said the closets were not big enough because i thought the closets would save the rooms but my personal take on this is that the design should be more focused on LUXURY throughout the house. The exterior is flawless still.
This house is atrocious, poor taste. No greenery, no natural light, no free flowing ventilation. That gold decor cheapens the whole thing and that bathroom tile will cause an epilepsy seizure… na Scarface dey live there abi nah one US rapper? Such poor taste masquerading as luxury.
Ok when I first saw this house I thought 800 million for what exactly but to be honest - this house is worth every penny of that 800 million. It’s next level. It’s actually an asset. Because the house is a work of art by itself. I know nothing about Abuja. If this h house was in Lagos I would buy it. Like I said I need the details of the person that did the finishing.
Thank you for posting this gorgeous big mansion house in Abuja. Much appreciated. I do have a question. Does these houses in Abuja comes with an annual property tax to be paid seperately to the City's Government? Asking, because you may know in certain G7 Countries, when an owner buys a house or mortgages a house, that house being owned or mortgaged comes seperately with an annual property tax to be paid to the City's Government. God bless...
Natural lighting is something our engineers should adopt
They also need to adopt green space and trees on the road for cleaner air.

You're very correct. I'm not in that line but I can tell the the finishings are very poor for such luxurious building.
You are feeling, I've seen better luxury homes with less price, maybe it's the location that made it that well. The finishing is bad, no "wow factor".
none of you have ever built anything in your lifes, yet you complain alot.

More so, as Nigerians we should also focus on garden architecture. A house or a building can never be complete, unless the outside area is also well designed. That's means more greenery, trees, flowers, plants, lighting systems, masonry etc. Omo, this one na higgy hagga........ Anywho, Steven you are just doing your job. I appreciate your content and your efforts bro.
Well said
People who cant afford the house alway have poverty opinion. if you cant afford the house be quiet.
Definitely not the biggest Steven, there are bigger ones in Guzape, but lovely video sir 🙌🏽
You forget the big glass window for natural light and the outside you must put some trees or artificial grass
Marhaba bredda big up to yuh channel.
House feels like a project done by a village developer who never sat a day in an architectural class! House is ugly asf! Big for nothing! With such land mass no greenery, layout is terrible and price point is scandalous!!!
You have said it all 😂😂😂
You cant afford it that all that matters, so be quiet.
this is the kind of house someone who got illegal government wealth with no creativity would buy. take out the guest house, move the main house back, bring the pool to the front and give it a different shape with maybe a hot tub attached to it, put some chair or some kind of sitting area close to it, put some natural plants around and in front of the fence, remove ALL the gold and replace it with white stainless or rose gold, make the gate design simpler, put a half basket court or something in one Conner and then maybe i'll consider dropping $1300000 for it
add solar panels too
Oh! Steven!!!! Its house is very good! I Love África! Brasil
Ok this makes me proud of Nigeria. I mean see crib.
Cemented floor everywhere. No beautiful garden landscape. This is the problem with Nigerian developers. They don't know that soil helps to reduce the sun's heat and makes houses comfortable. The house looks like a warehouse from the outside. But inside is not bad
have you ever built anything in your life?
@@jidebolarinwa697 Such a low brainy comment! Why don't you say what is good and what is bad instead of speaking like someone with very very low IQ.
I just wish Nigerian homes come with an inbuilt garage. This is beautiful 😍
Yeah, you are right.
Then what is the purpose of compound?
Garages are for houses with not enough spaces.
@@adebayomohammed8518 not necessarily. In your garage you can enter and exit your hose comfortably in bad weather. Also more privacy
@@truethots3088 we have compounds already, why build a garage? make no sense.
But why building such a house with no greens on the yard🤔🤔🤔🤔
For 800 million this is dope
Nice big Abuja traditional house. I would have eliminated the guest house to make the pool bigger and create a garden. I would have created a third floor with a flat roof that can be used. Somebody that buys this house can make those changes.
To be honest Abuja architects really need to do away with the that House design of box, columns and hip roof. Especially for a single house client.
Always happy to watch your video thank you so much for sharing this beautiful video with us
As someone who is into building luxury houses and apartments in UK , i strongly believe the house is a waste of resources , kitchen is a NO NO for me , ironmongery is not befitting a property of this magnitude, spaces are wasted and above all no green environment, common guys this is 21st century.
Pls God I need a house like this in my life I pray 🙏 🙏🙏🙏
Biggest mansion in Abuja? Bro's please edit your headline. That's not the biggest mansion in Abuja. Thanks! Lovely video.
Omo... Mad B-Roll shoots.
It would be a very nice filming house for Nollywood.
That is a beautiful house all together,I love this property ❤️
Yeah, there's enough space for the rooms to have bigger walk-in closets. There's space to add more closets though.
The pool should have been stretched a bit more too, so swimmers can do proper laps. The way it is now is just suitable for getting in and splashing water, not ideal for actual swimming. Narrow but long pools are more useful; you can mess around in them and serious swimmers can also do laps in them; they are actually aptly named lap pools.
I also think the developer set too much of a tone for the decor of the house with all the gold trims. This makes it a harder sell to people that have a different decor philosophy.
I've realized a lot of Nigerian houses have this yellowish golden colour. It makes the place look so cheap. My opinion!
Your opinion is irrelevant, no body cares what you think.
@@jidebolarinwa697 Except you, Mr. Bitterness.
The pool oh I cry for the pool …. 😭😭😭.. come on if this is called a Modern house in Nigeria .. then why be so partial to the pool .. Abi the architect dey vex !!!All the talk about ..so much space this !! So much space that !!!
Such a huge house, all concrete? Where is the greener grass or where is the life in this house???
The exterior of the house is beautiful but in some parts of the house luxury is lacking and I feel like a lot of the design was a little too basic in terms of the price. I also personally feel there was too much contrast with the tiles in the kitchen and queen bathroom ( wide space though, which is good). As u also said the closets were not big enough because i thought the closets would save the rooms but my personal take on this is that the design should be more focused on LUXURY throughout the house. The exterior is flawless still.
This house is atrocious, poor taste. No greenery, no natural light, no free flowing ventilation. That gold decor cheapens the whole thing and that bathroom tile will cause an epilepsy seizure… na Scarface dey live there abi nah one US rapper? Such poor taste masquerading as luxury.
You are so funny, I could not stop laughing at your comment!
coming form someone who cant afford the house, it's hilarious.
There are definitely bigger mansis than that I Abujah like some I saw yester but this is a fabulous building
In Kenya the Greenery is the most important part of the high end homes
love the house but with some greenery it would have gone along way
One can invest in better quality real estate in the US or Canada for $200k. Properties in 🇳🇬 are just overpriced for nothing tbh
Apart from the bathroom, the lightning and design of the other parts of the house is too mellow, it suppose to be frandaise for the price tag of 800m.
crazy how in this economy one person could still buy this and used it as a vacation house
Is this Aso Rock. Wow
It's a nice mansion but personally, if I were to get it, I'll do a lot of work on the finish.
The problem is green spaces but it's magnificent
Ok when I first saw this house I thought 800 million for what exactly but to be honest - this house is worth every penny of that 800 million. It’s next level. It’s actually an asset. Because the house is a work of art by itself. I know nothing about Abuja. If this h house was in Lagos I would buy it.
Like I said I need the details of the person that did the finishing.
exactly 💯
Where can one get that made i Nigeria entrance door?
The bathroom makes my skin crawl
Thank you for posting this gorgeous big mansion house in Abuja. Much appreciated. I do have a question. Does these houses in Abuja comes with an annual property tax to be paid seperately to the City's Government? Asking, because you may know in certain G7 Countries, when an owner buys a house or mortgages a house, that house being owned or mortgaged comes seperately with an annual property tax to be paid to the City's Government. God bless...
