When you compare the Nigeria capital with other Africa capitals like Dakar, Nairobi, Windhoek, Gaborone, Libreville etc you find out that Abuja is Overrated despite the Oil money used in building it.
Its becoming heavily populated like Lagos and the lack of maintenance culture is affecting the city..
I watched a documentary of Gaborone, the capital of Botswana and I was WOW on how VERY NEAT and Beautiful that Country Is..
- Abuja don't have the WOW FACTOR in it and the Architectures are not charming; Brazaville, the capital of Congo Republic will give Abuja a run for its money in all aspect.
- Buhari should pump more Oil Money into Abuja for its redesigning and renewal.
- THERE IS INDEED A REASON WHY TOURISTS ARE NOT TROOPING IN TO VIEW NIGERIA CAPITAL.

I disagree with you

look at cities like Nairobi, Cape Town, Libreville etc and compare them to Abuja.. There is a reason why tourists are not trooping to Abuja

The same Brazaville that has been ravaged by war and destruction for decades? You may have a little point elsewhere but I totally disagree with you on the Brazaville case.

@emboldened
How about pumping in more groundnut money?

bro I know what am talking about. Brazaville is just across the Congo River from Kinshasa. Brazaville is a historic city true, its more beautiful than Kinshasa, true.

But I still disagree with you sha. And yes, Congo Republic has had its own fair share of wars.

Do you live in Abuja? OP is very correct.. Abuja is just an overrated shiit hole. If the same ammount of money pumped into Abuja is pumped into Enugu, it will beat Abuja hands down. I was really disappointment the first time I came to Abuja..Nothing special despite all the hype

abuja was designed by civil servants who got there on quota system so what do you expect? and to make it worse 2 illiterates Bala and Aliero governed it for 8 years so what more? actually only those that haven't travelled overrate it, in africa i wont even rank it in the first 30

Op, how can you compare Abuja, a city of yesterday, with cities that had existed since forever?
In the 1990s, Abuja was still a ghost town, u can count all those living in it before midnight.
It was Orkar coup, and Babangida forcefully asking all federal government agencies to move into it that started giving it life.
And the town is not supposed to have more than 500,000 inhabitants, but there are more than 5 million people in it now.
Corrupt politicians and inconsistency of government policies are not helping matters. All the projects started by GEJ like the airport road expansion and so many others have been stalled since Buhari came in
Abuja is still a city in project, it has not matured
