@@thabisomaila8095 I'm not sure this comparison makes sense. Sandton city is actually a district in Johannesburg Metroplex and you're comparing with an entire Metroplex of its own.

Thanks to the very obvious presence of Westerners in the country since Colonial times. But comparing a district of a city with another. I'm not sure that's right. But if you will, then I think canary wharf in London is nicer than any South African city structurally. And Malibu CA blows all of Africa totally
Very true but as you walk around the city there is a lack of toilets, and Nigerians tend to defecate behind corners when there are no public toilets so be careful where you walk.

Cape Town blows European countries out of the water… I have been there so many times but every time I go it still manages to blow my mind, the natural beauty is second to none and the infrastructure is world class
@@ig1948 And Nigeria Has The Worst Slums In Makoko,The Last Time I Checked,Abuja Doesn't Even Make The List Of Twenty Best And Beautiful Cities.Dont Try To Be Smart .Get Your Facts Straight
@@PhilBullock-b3e I didn’t say anything about Nigeria nor was Nigeria anywhere in this conversation. It’s about South Africa and Europe. He said it blows European countries out of the water but really doesn’t. Also Cape Town is nowhere near the 20 best cities in the world.
Cape town is always in the top ten international list of beautiful and developed cities nearly every year. I have never seen Abuja even in the top 50 international list of developed and beautiful cities. So the comparison is seriously unfair.
Abuja is not a bad city but you really cannot compare it to the most beautiful city in Africa...maybe Cairo would have try to match the standard my opinion though
Abuja has one of the most advanced, most developed, and most sophisticated road networks not only in Nigeria but in Africa. The fact that there is traffic congestion doesn't mean the city doesn't have standard road network or infrastructure. The reason for the traffic congestion is because Abuja has so many cars. You can see that all the roads leading to and out of the city centre are around eight to ten lanes with many flyovers which are of high standard any where in the world, yet there is traffic congestion. And the traffic congestion doesn't occur always. It usually occurs in the mornings and evenings when people are going to work in the city centre and returning from work respectively. The reason is because Abuja has so many cars that's why in spite of the metro train transport system within the city one still observes traffic congestion within the afore mentioned periods. The same goes for the city of Lagos. These two cities are places where the population of cars compete with human population.
Having an advanced road network isn't always necessarily a good thing. A city that is too car-oriented tends to lack culture and substance. Abuja should be focusing on public transportation if it wants to be a considered a world class city.
@@dewa5747 Until you travel extensively the two places or at least stay in one of them for some time, before you can know what I'm talking about, and before you can adequately judge. Don't judge on the surface.
In addition, Abuja's development just started in the 80s like you mentioned. If you observed well, you would have also noticed that massive construction work is ongoing daily in Abuja. So bear in mind that Abuja is still under construction, by the time the master plan is well accomplished, it may outclass Cape town.
ask any nigerian u know is leaving in capetown will tell how beautiful is capetown I know what im saying ave been there for 5years there ar so so many Nigerian there alot
Most of this is a comparison between white South Africa and Abuja as a black South African you are only allowed to stop us from comparing the sowetos,diepsloot,kyelishas of this world with anywhere else cause we will not find comparisons let white people to stop us from other comparisons in SA
Having lived in beautiful Abuja for more than 10 yrs, I would admit that Capetown ‘s geographical landscape gives it the edge in this comparison. You barely across cities with such landscape.
Have just discovered your channel and subscribed. There is no need for comparison between Abuja and Cape Town. Cape Town has longer history of development than Abuja.

Cape Town is better developed, and the city maintains it's infrastructure. Abuja is newly built and already has decaying infrastructure which is not being looked after properly. Cape Town is a much more natural human city.

Abuja is very beautiful and capetown is also really mind blowing, the nature around it and buildings are beautiful, please let's stop trying to compare them but appreciate them
Can we please not compare african countries with each other, it creates hatred and unnecessary competition. we should be focusing on how to build our economies as a continent, not competing against each other. How can we do real business with each other and share skills and help each other in building an africa we can all be proud of? Our governments are already discussing this on a macro level, but we can discuss this as individuals and as small and medium enterprises. I'm a South African, and would rather engage in constructive conversations rather than topics such as this one, this is not going to make us strong as a continent.
Thank you, I've been saying this for many years now. Everything is South Africa vs Nigeria, woman, building and all this senseless nonsense that won't take us nowhere, we should be planning how to overthrow all this stupid politicians and move forward as Africans, danko

This is not a fair comparison. Abuja is a relatively new city that is not 40 years old. Secondly, Cape Town is uniquely blessed geographically. There is no basis for comparison for now. Abuja is still coming up.
How old is cape Town and how old is Abuja? Abuja has 4 developmental phases and we re just in the first phase so there is no point comparing the new city of Abuja to Cape Town that has been there for years .
Cape Town is 370 years old and Abuja is 40 yeas old while Toronto is 37 years old yet 1million x more developed than Abuja. You cant keep making up excuses, you'll are 215million and we are just 60 million
@@thabisomaila8095 I agree with you on the part where the age of the city alone is not a determinant. Even within Nigeria, the best developed cities are not always the oldest. But I disagree with you on the age of Toronto. It's not as young as you said. It was settled since the 1700s and formerly incorporated as Toronto in 1834. The issue with Nigerian cities and some others around Western Africa is the high rate of rural urban drift Which oftentimes outpaces pace of infrastructural development before different districts become habited. So you end up with a situation where there's a big gap in quality of development between affluent areas, middle class Neighbourhoods and low income homes. this you'll find in just about every city including national Capitals across West, central and east Africa
How long has South Africa gotten it's independence as opposed to the Giant of Africa when you like to make comparisons between SA and Nigeria completely disregarding that ANC has only been in power for exactly 30 years.

Putting it together is deceit and it won't help us. We need to be analytical. My Analysis Of Abuja Vs Cape Town 1. Road Network = 50/50 2. Railways = Abuja leads slightly here. It has light train within the city and even SGR connecting to other cities. Cape Town doesnt have light trains 3. Luxurious Mansions = 50/50 4. High Rise/Skyscrapers = Cape Town leads here. Airport = 50/50 .... debatable Landscaping/Greenery = 50/50 ... debatable
Am a Nigerian but Cape Town is way ahead of Abuja in terms of everything, however, Abuja is right up there let's not forget that its a relatively young city
I gave Capetown this one before watching BUT i was hoping the host will educate the young about the age of both places! Capetown is over a hundred years old vs Abuja's 40. Not a fair comparism. Abuja wins by even being considered next to a 100 yr-old competitor like Capetown!

You are very correct, except that Abuja is not up to 40 years old because, the capital city was moved from Lagos to Abuja in late 80s. Therefore, the comparison between the two cities are uncalled for or premature at this time.

Cape Town is a million times better than Abuja, stop comparing south african cities to other african cities because South African cities even stomp European cities like Berlin, London and Barcelona, there is no comparison here
Look, there's no comparison between Cape Town (South Africa) with Abuja (Nigeria) because, Cape Town has been there forever, and should be better than what it is today than Abuja that had just started in late 80's. Remember that the capital city of Nigeria was moved from Lagos state to Abuja, and Cape Town was not moved from any where. As the capital city, the British settled in cape Town and made it what it is today, whereas, Abuja was a mess, and where Hausa people settled with there goats, cows and many other livestock. Again, Nigeria has faced severe economic barter due to the leaders looting and stealing the country's finances for ages, and you don't expect a country with such history to do well, but Nigeria is doing great, regardless of all the short comings. They just need great and serious minded leaders who fights for the people and the country like we have here in the United States Of America.
Up and above that, Nigerians should realize karma is a b..... what most of their countrymen do to other people would affect them negatively, one way or the other.

I think this presenter doesnt know how to do comparison. Cape Town is centuries older than Abuja. Abuja is just 30+ yrs. It's young even amongst Nigeria's cities, it's just because of the money being pumped into it because they want make it the Capital Territory overnight. Even in wrestling you consider the years of building. So don't compare 2 incomparable cities
It seems like there's some sort of competition that is done by Nigerians but us (South Africans) are not aware. When you're done or tired of your comparison please dont forget to count how many Nigerians leave their so called beautiful country and come to South Africa, also count South Africans that are in Nigeria.

Abuja actually has more green spaces than Port Harcourt or any other city in Nigeria. Each district has a series of gardens and dedicated green spaces (different from undeveloped plots that look like greenery in other Nigerian cities). Though I'd praise Port Harcourt for the Port Harcourt pleasure park. This one is a really solid addition to the city and I hope another similar development can be setup on Azikiwe road and eastern bypass
Abuja is a newly built city less than 50 years, Abuja will definitely bit Capetown, so it is a cheat comparing it to Capetown. you would have been neutral if you compared Lagos to Capetown.

Abuja is not a bad city but you really cannot compare it to the most beautiful city in Africa...maybe Cairo would have try to match the standard my opinion though
Abuja has one of the most advanced, most developed, and most sophisticated road networks not only in Nigeria but in Africa. The fact that there is traffic congestion doesn't mean the city doesn't have standard road network or infrastructure. The reason for the traffic congestion is because Abuja has so many cars. You can see that all the roads leading to and out of the city centre are around eight to ten lanes with many flyovers which are of high standard any where in the world, yet there is traffic congestion. And the traffic congestion doesn't occur always. It usually occurs in the mornings and evenings when people are going to work in the city centre and returning from work respectively. The reason is because Abuja has so many cars that's why in spite of the metro train transport system within the city one still observes traffic congestion within the afore mentioned periods. The same goes for the city of Lagos. These two cities are places where the population of cars compete with human population.
Having an advanced road network isn't always necessarily a good thing. A city that is too car-oriented tends to lack culture and substance. Abuja should be focusing on public transportation if it wants to be a considered a world class city.

The issue with Nigerian cities and some others around Western Africa is the high rate of rural urban drift Which oftentimes outpaces pace of infrastructural development before different districts become habited.

My Analysis Of Abuja Vs Cape Town
1. Road Network = 50/50
2. Railways = Abuja leads slightly here. It has light train within the city and even SGR connecting to other cities. Cape Town doesnt have light trains
3. Luxurious Mansions = 50/50
4. High Rise/Skyscrapers = Cape Town leads here.
Airport = 50/50 .... debatable
Landscaping/Greenery = 50/50 ... debatable
Dream on brother, dream on.
Mansions The whole Nigeria even roads or Airports can't even come close

Nigerians Did Nothing By Themselves,They Stole Alot From So Many ,That's Why They Are Named Scam Artist
Abuja is just a new city established in 1990. Abuja is not completed, development still ongoing. So this comparison is not appropriate.
Abuja is by far the best
Which video did you watch?😂😂
Cape Town by miles
Comparing the best city in the world 5 times in row to Abuja is insane😂
Abuja needs more grassn greenery and flowers ... it should by a leaf from PortHarcourt !!
Abuja actually has more green spaces than Port Harcourt or any other city in Nigeria.
Each district has a series of gardens and dedicated green spaces (different from undeveloped plots that look like greenery in other Nigerian cities).
Though I'd praise Port Harcourt for the Port Harcourt pleasure park. This one is a really solid addition to the city and I hope another similar development can be setup on Azikiwe road and eastern bypass
No any city in Nigeria is Greener than Abuja . I hope u have been to Abuja before?
@@mrvibe1570 Calabar is greener than Abuja
@@gilly8087 weather play a role bro, but during raining seasons no city in Nigeria have the half of Abuja grenery
Abuja needs a proper public transportation system like a subway or metro.
wow abuja
Abuja is a newly built city less than 50 years, Abuja will definitely bit Capetown, so it is a cheat comparing it to Capetown. you would have been neutral if you compared Lagos to Capetown.
Lagos out of all places. Have you been to cape town. I have been to Lagos, with all due respect, Nigerians will also tell you Lagos needs a serious overhaul before it even compete with Nairobi.
So Capetown will be sitting there waiting for Abuja? Capetown will always be Africa's number one best city for years to come there are many projects to be built in Cape town in the future
lets make things easier then in terms of age , lets compare abuja with sandton since they are both fairly new cities 😉
Lagos wouldn't fair better against Cape town. Honestly Abuja is Nigeria's best bet to compare to Cape town.
I think within Africa, Cape town stands out
bit capetown, how can a city cheat ?what kind of English is this.
I don’t like this video content if I have to be sincere and it doesn’t matter to anyone
Though we all know Cape Town is a beautiful city.my question is why do you keep showing pic video of Abuja and you can’t post the live video of Abuja ??
You are bias in your video presentation, you did not cover Abuja well the same way you caver cape town
He had been showing Lagos taxis, and calling Abuja, I am sure he has not even been to Abuja
Still Capetown is the most beautiful City in whole of Africa
Still Capetown is the most beautiful City in whole of Africa
@@skhumbuzintsibande240 Exactly! Nigeria loves place our countries on the same pedestal, yet it is nowhere near our level to be honest.
@@skhumbuzintsibande240 thus most of them go shoot their videos in CT, and live there. How are they going to develop it further to be at CT's level, if they are comfortable here and not going home to develop their country?
Cape town of course.
There is no comparison
There shouldn't be a comparison here in the first place. You are comparing elephant and rat😂
Even we black men we are who we are.
These cities aren't in the same category to appropriately be compared
Abuja is 100× behind south Africa
Don't forget that Abuja is not up to 40 years so comparison is not supposed
Abuja is 💯 owns by the Nigerians and developing by black . Why Cape town is 90% owns by the white. do I go for Abuja the first class citizen City.
But the whites are South Africans born bred so why do you have to high light the race issue 🤔 The reason why South Africa is a rainbow nation and the most diverse in Africa
@@mkza2280 am not high lighting the race issues. The issues is the exonophobic attack by our fellow south Africans black . white are never a problem . but black killing thir fellow black for taking over their businesses is really disheartening and disturbing. I have never been to south African. but u can watch the video for real.
@@mrvibe1570 I hear you but I was responding to what you said previously about Cape Town being owned by 90% White which is different altogether to what you're saying now I personally don't want to dwell in the so called Xenophobia cos there's a lot of underlying issues that are being ignored of which they're the core pathophysiology.
@@mkza2280 in any fire there most be a smoke. My point is obvious.
@@mrvibe1570 Yes there's a lot to be done and looked at by both parties to combat this issue of cause .
Cape Town is the California of Africa. I’m a Nigerian but Abuja is not yet in the same league with Cape Town
U can't compare capetown with nigeria..
It's a mismatch. You cannot compare Abuja to Cape Town. Cape Town is in a different class.
Why not compere Lagos to Cape Town why abuja?
I don't think any Nigerian city has a better road network than Abuja....
Yes they are cities, bro u can only say abuja has more standard road but not road network, in terms of road network calabar is Even better that was y the white colonial masters choose it as there city then, uyo also has good road network than ABJ take fr instance there's this popular road in uyo that links the whole villages in uyo
I don't think any Nigerian city has better road network than any South African city tbh.
@@hopebuhali3887 I don't know much about SA's road network. I'd think Abuja and Lagos might. You should try visiting Tembisa where the white people did not settle and let us know.
@@fistandpen2505 It's not a case of just thinking, it's about facts, do some research. All of South Africa's major cities have world class road infrastructure, the best in Africa. The "Whites built SA" card is null and void because SA, in terms of infrastructure and development, has significantly improved since 1994, Lead by an All Black government, again, Its pure facts, do some research.
Lol you mentioned Tembisa, Tembisa is a township, like every other township in SA, it was CREATED BY WHITE PEOPLE in Apartheid for the purpose of racially isolating black people away from whites, the same way white people in USA created townships for African Americans during the Jim Crow period. If you visit any township, whether in SA or USA, you'll realise there's good road and transport infrastructure, water and electricity infrastructure that most parts of Africa don't have, despite the poverty.
@@hopebuhali3887 lol believe whatever you want to believe champ 👍
Clearly this is an unfair comparison
Just go Google best cities in the WORLD and you will find your answer
You people's don't know about city the best is italian city
The audacity
What do you mean by this? 🤣
fool
If my comment automatically gives you and indication of why i said it... It makes what i said real you even see it without me saying it
@@clueless365 i lived in Capetown for 5 years.... Not even a single South African city comes close, JHB is a dump compared to Capetown, i grew up in Pretoria... My 1st job was in JHB... After i got to Capetown felt like i left SA
@@jyde50 i admire your National pride... But thatd the reason other African cities are leaving you behind, you fail to critique in the name of National pride...
Na, cape town stomps Abuja 🤣🤣
You came up to tell us Abuja is not as good as Capetown. Bye.
Jah
Bye ,The Truth Hurts,Aw So Jealous,Go Sit Down
Why must everything in Africa be a comparison? Why can't we just enjoy both lol
No comparison cape Town s best
This is not right Nigerians will soon flock to Cape town stop this let us always put Nigeria first then they will stay home.
this is so funny, i cant stop loughing.
Abuja is better than Cape Town .
What makes you say so
@@TheNewTourist Abuja is better lol
Cape Town is better.
I am Nigeria.
Lie
@@TheNewTourist Abuja is well built with very beautiful wide roads and very beautiful well led out suburbs ,, that's why I think.abuja is better .
Truly even Nigerian who leave in SA will tell you that South Africa is a better country so stop to compare please
