It still looks like shit. I use to live in cleepthorpes. Very low budget area in uk. Not even a city. It’s cleaner and finer than maitama.


I live in Benin now. Na desame eye I take dey look the whole Nigeria. Stop celebrating mediocrity

Have you ever paid any form of local govt tax in Benin where you live now?!!.

Childish comparisms as usual just to let us know you used to live Cleepcrap in UK. Some insecure dumbfvcks are even giving you likes too.

U said it's where super rich people lives and okada dey enter there. U must be a clown ���

Okada dey reach some places na! No be Naija u dey?

Visit Guzape ....that's another place for the super rich

F**k Eko.
Abuja is the bomb.
Even in middle class areas there is a School and green area for each zone,like in Wuse and Garki.

Well organized roads and addresses,with serene environment.

The company where I used to work installed the cinema of that white house (The first picture) the house is soooooooooooooooo big

victorv12:
Don't be fooled. I am into real estate in Abuja. Most of the rich guys hardly live in these houses. If you're talking about the rich guys, are you talking about the politicians? If they're the one, majority of them don't live in Nigeria. They live in Dubai, US, London, Monaco and some offshore islands. It's only when they're coming for plenary at the National Assembly or their state to collect money they come to inspect these properties. Majority don't live there. They live outside Nigeria.

Interesting,so they are literally living abroad and just come to collect their salaries and co?

Yes because it's a new layout and phase 2 of Abuja City plan. Them never dey misbehave so the big guys have not seen them as problem to drive them away. Also, building construction is still seriously ongoing there. How do you want the artisans to navigate the place if Okada no dey enter like Abuja phase 1.

Mhykel217:


Lekki de play.

im telling you. Theses are houses with good roads, layout, good drainages. Not lekki wey rain go fall for one day and every house will turn to swimming pool.

isaiah4life:
Lekki is still the bomb. Eko.

is it that place dogs are stronger than men?

isaiah4life:
Lekki is still the bomb. Eko.

Is it the same lekki that when it rains, residents will be looking for canoe?

NB: the OP wasn't making comparison. He was only showing what is obtainable in Abuja

It's only in Abuja. It's everywhere. Bottom line is the owners of the buildings will Sha enter inside one day. All the houses there can't be empty at the same time

Like zombie land.. Lekki, VGC, Surulere, Festac, Vi, Ikeja etc are more lively more beautiful and also expensive 2-3 bedroom goes for 3m or more.

Guzape is the new rich hub

Bros you can lie! Cleethorpes finer than Maitama? Is it with all the old victorian houses?
Cleaner? Yes, but certainly not finer.

Stop the mediocrity. This place can't be compared with an average street in the US. Nigeria is still the poverty capital of the world.

Shut up, it is. Have you ever been there before?

Ministers' Hill?

Lol. That's where most politicians now spend their stolen loots these days, erecting mansions.

It's a cool place.

While people are wallowing in poverty

Bbbw:
Where the thieves lives

U can say that again...where d real thieves are

Zidane199:

Katampe extension is still under construction okada still de move there sir
When they’re done the okada will definitely be banned from there
Keke don’t go there self

It is not the duty of the rich to close the gap between poor and rich,it is govt responsibility.Govt and religious centres must create a welfarist society not the rich.

The rich only got opportunity or better ideas to make money than the rest of the populace.They owe nobody any duty but are encouraged to do charity.

And it quite unfortunate that the said super rich are the same people parading themselves as leaders.

If government can provide basic need of masses, there wont be any need to worship money.

You never reach minister's hill for Maitaman you dey talk.

I tell u, op ya head get oil. Who no no no no.

iCauseTrouble:
I guess this OP is trying to advertise this area because Katampe no even reach top 10 places where rich people live in Abuja

You saw the extension, didn’t you?

E be like I go enter Abuja on my next holiday , make I see as e dey

subsidywise18:


Well, we don't have council taxes in Nigeria because you Nigerians don't want to pay it.

Let's be honest. If we all paid taxes like council tax, we would have a big eye on what government does well well, and put more pressure on them to do the right thing...and thus they would not steal. Because it is directly affecting us.

I'm not blind. Corruption exists in Nigeria. (It's why I cannot in good cosncience vote for PDP or APC since 2003 when I first voted). BUT.....the fact is, there isn't enough money to pay for what we need to keep our cities looking good as well. The corruption and mismanagement makes things worse.

Plus when Tinubu, Buhari, and company were not in power, Nigerians were not paying enough in tax EITHER. Even when you have leaders you like...like most of us Southerners like GEJ....we no go gree.

We rely on oil money for everything in this country...and we live under the delusion that it is enough. It is enough for a country of ten million people or less, not 210 or 100 million people like Nigeria. That's where the payment of taxes comes in. But since most of us don't pay taxes because we are poor, government services are bad (and then the stealing too makes things worse.)

You get what you pay for. No council tax in Benin, Lagos, Owerri, Kano, Abuja, etc....no money for better municipal servicies. And our budget, need I remind you, is not up to one quarter of what the UK spends on healthcare.

Our tax to gdp ratio is 8.1%, in the UK it is 34%. See the problem

P.S

Pension thieves got caught. Some of them have gone to jail self.


P.S 2

UK budget for 2021...one trillion pounds. for 60 million people. Nigerian budget: 28 billion pounds for 200 million people. Expecting UK level service on that low a budget is magical thinking really.

well I agree with your summations. You re right. Leadership is still the problem. If govt imposes council tax on all state capitals + 2 cities in each state. Then enforce and oversee the usage. That’s a start. People will pay

zicoraads:
You should be talking about Guzape, not Katampe.

Guzape Hills is where the new Abuja rich rich are building.

Katampe is overrated and not so upscale. I was there some weeks ago and even Apo can compete with it, even Garki sef.
Guzape is for the nuevo rich...it's safer, and going to be like Asokoro main in the next five to seven years.
I have lived in asokoro main from childhood, so now that I'm living in a less affluent area (airport road) I know that I'll definitely desire to go back there in future, if I can hustle and make those billions....It's either those main areas or I run away from Naija. Lol.
When I'm 45,I should be in those porsh areas, otherwise I would have failed on my target.

Nigeria is just one big scam.

What is stopping these evil old men called politicians from doing the same development in other parts of the country, why limiting the modernization and civilization in certain areas The black man mentality in them will not let them see the reality that all the technology and manpower used to develop these areas can also be transferred to ordinary Nigerian youths to make this an all round development for the country.

How much for 2 bedroom in iyapaja?

BJanta:



An area where a 3-bedroom flat is rented for 3 million Naira is where your own rich people are living ? In Abuja? How much do you think you can get a 2-bedroom at Iyanapaja in Lagos that's not even high brow. You must be a village man coming into the city for the first time.

Nope no no no. A welfare society always lets the lazy ones live off the toil and sweat of the hard working people.Besides ,the rich and the poor always get 24hrs in a day equally so who's to blame if some poor folks can't think for themselves.

Nigeria is overpriced for poor amenities. I’d rather live outside the country in weather a little cooler than tropical.
