9 Good Reasons Why You Should Not Rush Into a Relationship

There is something freemason like about this building.

DrPrickson:
1billion for land alone as far back as 2005, heaven knows how much the building itself cost. Am not hating but seriously it makes no sense in a country where so many millions are not sure what to eat this money. Graduates roaming endlessly for a job any job.

Btw . Niger delta oil creating billionaires while Niger deltans wallow in poverty. And they say we should not complain.

did anybody stop niger deltans or nigerians from grabbing their own share of the national cake.complaining is not a solution o

I asked what that place was many a time - no one in Abuja seemed to know.

It looks more like a bank or court house than a residential building and it looks completely out of step in that part of Abuja, I would understand were it in a residential quarter.

I appreciate his desire to improve the quality of materials used but the design is not appealing. Definitely not the most beautiful building in town.

shakazuldadon:
big house, small compound, its the same guy that owns the one opposite Mr.Biggs at wise 2.

Just wanted to say that now. It's d same architectural design

The house belongs to that man who owns A.A. Rano Oil. A gallon of the paint used for the building costs 58,000 naira. I know the company from where the paints were bought.

True wealth is defined as the number of people whose lives were transformed through you.
I don't want to see /hear the number of your houses, cars, or properties but the number of people you have raised to be like you ...

Yet the owner's Grave yard is 6ft in most cases. We shal ll meet there..not funny -is it?

You won't understand until u try to seek employments or contract in one of those companies. Then u will understand me better.

I will only have respect for this building only if itz fully integrated with full home automation system. Otherwise, what's luxury about the building if you still have to walk through the whole house to switch off all lights for instance.
A house of this size and price value should come with full home automation which should include light automation, security/alarm systems, CCTV, video and audio distribution(full HD quality), video intercoms etc.
From my findings so far, more than 80% of these types of building dont have these systems in place not to talk of automating it.
If you can afford to buy a house of 50M not to talk of buying land alone for N1B, you or your builder should be exposed enough and be able to afford to automate the whole house at fraction of a cost of the building.
IMO, a luxury house should be intelligent enough to make some routine decisions without your interference.

This is what home automation does and stands for. For more info and further consultation, send an email to abioduno@homcontechnologies.com.

Hahahahahaha. Lwkmdh. Aunty abeg wake up oo, na 10:30 a.m be this oo.

Ladies shaa, dem too like better thing.

Its beautiful. Not your typical nigerian building

Classic French style medieval structure.

D problem with that house is lack of space and serenity.
It needs a quiet and natural environment around it for one to value it's beauty.
Very far from d city

The Maitama District of Abuja is best known as the playground of the rich and famous. A district well developed with a lot of magnificent architectural master pieces which never cease to amaze passersby. UGBOJA FELIX OJONUGWA writes on one building that has left many  comments in its wake.  

Among several jaw-dropping edifices in Abuja, the very popular exotic-looking building on Gana street, adjacent to the Transcorp Hilton Hotel stands out like a castle on the hill.

According to a number of taxi drivers in Abuja, it is very difficult to drive a passenger past the building without hearing, “wow what sort of mighty house is this?” …”Who owns this expensive building?”…”What is this building meant for?” And the questions go on and on.

Without a doubt, there could be more expensive buildings in the city, but the strategic location of this one, how monumental it looks, and the lack of clear details about its use makes it even more interesting.

The assumptions surrounding what the building could be are quite numerous. For such a structure to look like that, a museum, library or a public memorial building would readily come to mind but these are mere guesses.

A number of people who spoke to LEADERSHIP Friday aired their different and very interesting opinions about what they think of the building.

“I think it belongs to the Pope,” said Abalaka Julius, with an innocent smile.

“This building? It belongs to Okocha, na,” Chima Eze says with every level of confidence he could muster.

“Someone told me that it belongs to IBB, the former president,” said Oyilonla Damola.

“It belongs to AA Oil,” said Ali, a taxi driver.

There is no unanimous stand among several people spoken to about who and what the building is all about.

In the quest to know more, LEADERSHIP Friday went to Development Control Abuja to inquire about the building. From there, LEADERSHIP Friday was further directed to Maitama District office, where a staff revealed that the building most likely belongs to a certain Aliyu Abubakar, chairman of AA Oil Limited.

Looking at the nature of the building, its environment adorned with statues and a terrace lawn, one could tell that the material for erecting such a building were solely imported and its design also inspired by that in a foreign country just as Alhaji Aliyu Abubakar would admit in an online interview sometime ago retrieved from nairaland.com.

According to the chairman of AA Oil Limited, he said he acquired the plot of land where the structure is erected in 2005 from an indigene of Zamfara State at a cost of N1 billion.

The interview further revealed that Aliyu, who trained as a building technologist before venturing into oil business, said that he financed the building from his personal savings, as he did not obtain any mortgage from any bank.

“This building belongs to me. I bought the land occupying this building around 2005 from one man from Zamfara State. I bought it for N1billion because of the location. Thereafter, a thought came to me. By the way, I am a builder. I specialise in building houses of model quality. Any house I build is usually very special.”

“The whole idea about that is just for everyone to know that it is very possible to replicate the type of things we see overseas in Nigeria. So, I resolved that since I had the opportunity of acquiring this land, I would put up a structure that would be equal to none in the entire city and maybe the country.” He said.

Without doubt, the building has generated a lot of interest and has remained popular among enthusiasts in the city of Abuja.

If the purchase of land could be worth as much as a billion naira, one could only imagine how much it would cost to put up such a magnificent edifice on it. Certainly millions of dollars.

With the level of security surrounding the building, and a gate manned by stern-looking security personnel, it was impossible for LEADERSHIP Friday to gain access into the building. But a number of people spoken to revealed that Aliyu Abubakar does come around, although it is unclear if the building is entirely a private residence or whether some offices occupy some spaces within.

Aliyu Abubakar, chairman of AA Oil, should thank Al Mustapha for his status now. A smalish man with great investment strategies.He has very beautiful buildings in GRA ikeja.He is mostly into real estate investment and all his buildings are tastefully furnished before he offer them for sale. I know him very well. He is a very generous man.

Nothing spectacular about the architecture,just a lifting of a foreign architecture,nothing special about it though,we see numerous buildings that look exactly like this in foreign countries
