Abomination!!! You are asking for the impossible!

On a serious note, one gets to see the White House including the interior of the White House on the internet but one has never seen our own Aso Villa either in newspapers or on the internet. I know whoever ventures snapping the pictures can get killed for planning coup or for planning to kidnap the president!

I totally dis-agree with u,what kind of rock is it, such that a camera lens can't zoom to penetrate the inside view of it, just like the way we see the pentagon house,

This is why it is Nigeria. People do go as far as seating and playing beside the fence of White House while one can clearly see the White House through the fence but in Nigeria ants cant even dare not to talk of human beings because we are all potential coup plotters and kidnappers!

@ Beaf
Nice one!
Becomerich just got a competitor!

Thanks Beaf. Its not even an impressive building!

I want to believe this picture was taken during the construction process before the President moved in. Also by now, all the dry ground around  the house is now covered with lush green grass.

I hope someday, someone will rebuild all those Islamic looking buildings to reflect the secularity of Nigeria.

I have nothing against Islam and I like the national mosque, I think it's quite beautiful.

But I don't understand why the seat of government and the national assembly should look like something out of Saudi Arabia!!

the picture (2) that beaf showed is NOT aso rock villa. that is a building on the aso rock complex but not the villa it self (could be something like a police or medical building, not sure). the way abuja masterplan was design is not the same as Washington's masterplan. unlike washington, abuja designed its government complexes so that it does NOT interact with the public. the reason is for security. it is easy to maintain a high level of security when the public is not in view/ interacting. nigeria is not the only country that does this, many other countries do the same.

also I'm not really sure, but a while back I read state documents that say they might build a new presidential complex, in side the three armed zone were the old presidential complex is, looking of millennium park

How does the national assembly look islamic? if anything it looks similar to the capital building in washington.

After attaining this feat, I'm sure there will be food, clothing, shelter, jobs, money and everything yanfu-yanfu for every Nigerian because that in itself will solve all our problems!

[size=13pt]Okay if you have been to the gate of villa not entering the presidential building just passing by you would notice that there is a "No photography" sign

Secondly,if you are to enter the villa like a visitor you phones and camera /camcorder bla bla bla would be taken from you so how do you take a picture then ? No way

The people working there have their mobile phones of course but they know the rules they wouldnt upload any pictures else

But if you havent seen the Villa no worries for now,Vote me for President sometime in the future and i would invite you , cheesy cheesy am not joking here wink wink
