- Abuja Nigeria.
Maitama is one of the top and most expensive residential districts in Abuja city. It is also the safest and most beautiful in terms of the environment. Many expatriates (expat), politicians, abuja biog men, ambassadors live in Maitama.
This video is a drive through Maitama abuja, so you could see how beautiful this place is. there is also a drone shot of maitama included in this video to give you a better perspective of this beautiful place in abuja nigeria.
Abuja Master Plan is divided into phases. The Phase 1 area of the city is divided into five districts which are : the Central, the Garki, Wuse, Maitama, and Asokoro.
There are also five districts in Phase 2. They are Kado, Durumi, Gudu, Utako and Jabi. And the Phase 3 districts are Mabuchi, Katampe, Wuye and Gwarimpa.
There are five suburban districts: Nyanya, Karu, Gwagwalada, Kubwa, and Jukwoyi.
Along the Airport Road are clusters of satellite settlements, namely Lugbe, Chika, Kuchigworo and Pyakassa. Other satellite settlements are Idu (the main industrial zone), Mpape, Karimu, Gwagwa, Dei-Dei (housing the International Livestock market and also International Building materials market).
Wow wow wow!! ❤ David, sir, you have really outdone yourself with this one! Maitama is beautiful!!! I realize now that I only know a small small part of Abuja. I want a house in Maitama!! 😭😭😂😂 (it's nice to dream! 😁😆) Man you are becoming the true main travel ambassador of Abuja. Excellent works my friend. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you very much Sir.. May your dream come to pass oh... Amen.
@@DavidNkwa stop being an idiot. There is nothing like richest neighborhood in Nigeria
@@Da_Champion there is no need for a bad language.
We are tired of Negative Vlogs on Nigeria, it’s high time Nigerians start promoting the good aspects of Nigeria to promote Tourism and foreign Investment in Nigeria...just Subscribed 🇳🇬🇺🇸
Thank you for subscribing
Too right!!!👊🏾🇳🇬👊🏾🇳🇬
No tourism rest, Nigeria itself is negative.
@@your-neighbor you are a fool. God punish you there
@@your-neighboryour papa nor get sense
One thing I like about Abuja is the trees planted every where, it makes Abuja unique and similar to most European cities. Wow! It's high time we Nigerians should start to appreciate the beauty of Nigeria and stop painting our country black on social medias. It's very painful that the outside world are perceiving Nigeria with a negetive views. Please lets control the way we blackmail Nigeria and work together for a greater Nigeria. Thanks @David, you are a good son of the soil 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🙏🏼
And did you know the funniest thing, Abuja is world most planned city on earth
Abuja is so pleasant. Can’t compare to the level of stress in Lagos. Definitely looking to move to abuja when I relocate back to nigeria.
That will be nice.
Thank you for watching. Kindly subscribe if you haven't yet.
Good content. I also notice that there are no electricity poles visible unlike Lagos. Cool environment.
Some parts of abuja have underground electrical cables
Good observation.
This video brought me back so many memories. I lived here for more than 25 years. The block of flats at 13:27 was where I grew up as a kid. Thanks for sharing.
that's the plan my brother, to bring in good memories and keep us updated. Thanks for watching. Kindly subscribe for more content
All 36 states should have similar infrastructure.
ikr, Lagos cities are so developed while Kano state be looking like something from a century ago.
That's that tribalism war going on Nigeria..they should develop all 36 states..nobody is staying in that Abuja..Abuja is nothing but money stole from Nigeria government and its citizen
@@westpointemsllc276 Prove it !
In your dreams my dear.
Am telling you.. i blame our former heads and governors.. state like kano , most cities are beyond repair to be honest, they are extremely bad planned to the extent that it's practically beyond rebuild.. wonder if maybe there wasn't knowledge on urban planning or what in the 70s and 80s when the foundation for this should have been built
I can't wait for my first trip to Africa, and Abuja nigeria is where I'm going 👍
Abuja is waiting for you. When you come you can explore any of these activities here: ua-cam.com/video/JfRa20MT3FQ/v-deo.html
I been there 3 times
@ 3:24 minutes into the video, the narrator says 'we're just going to go left, let's go left', but he takes a right! Welcome to Nigeria!
@Comelia..lol
Bros I confused self 🤣🤣🤣
Just so you know, the narrator (Dave K) isn’t the driver!!!
A little miscommunication perhaps, so blaady what??
I like Nigeria to live i will come some day and start business, watching it from Somalia. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching @Juneyd. You are welcome to Nigeria. Kindly subscribe if you havent.
OK i subscribed for yr channel, plz tell me about the life of Nigeria is it cheap or expensive? How about the rent of the houses and when I want to come to Nigeria, how can i? Tourism, education, etc
@Juneyd, life in Nigeria can be cheap and expensive as well, it all depends on what you are looking for.
If you are concerned about running a business and making connections, Lagos is your better spot. In every state in Nigeria, including Lagos, you will find cheap or expensive accommodation, no what budget you have, you will have something. If you want to come to Nigeria, you have apply for visa in Nigeria embassy in your country. You will normally get 30days entry visa, after which you can extend. As for tourism, there are lots of place in Nigeria, it all depends on your focus I will say.
Thanks for your information bro. I hope you to get 1m subscribers.
Come on down to Naija. Our African siblings are always welcome!
What a fine production and very educative. I live in Abuja but I don't know some of these landmarks.
@Obinna Onah, Thank you very much for watching and commenting, I appreciate it.
I am definitely going to have a Mansion in Abuja, regardless. And visit on Holidays with family. Thank you for sharing such a Great Video
continue the good job David!,we honestly need more of you in nigeria
Thank you very much my namesake.

Not all white people who lives in Abuja are expatriates, some are just immigrants living in Abuja please stop referring all as expatriates please, Nigerians expatriates in America and UK aren't referred as expatriates but they are referred as immigrants in the UK and US.
We should stop this inferiority complex mentality. Please 🙏
Blessing by name ! Blessed by nature!
Thank you! That irked me too!
We need to change a lot of our language in Nigeria!
No white person would immigrate to Nigeria. Stop lying.
@@daviusdavis2537 Your ignorance is concerning! Nigeria was colonised by white British, which means that they lived there for over a hundred years or so!
But fast forward to 2021, there are still whites who invest there, some naturalise by marriage!
Like in any country of the world , Nigeria included, people from other countries naturalise to become citizens! Google it !
It's easier to make money with less investment in third world countries and Nigeria is one of them so many people of different races come here to invest cause labor is a lot cheaper and taxes are less. Please read.
"Expatriate" does not convey any sense of inferiority complex. It has nothing to do with the term "expert" or some other hint that Caucasians are inherently better skilled or smarter than us. It is simply saying that they live outside their native country. For e.g when Shell cross-posts a Nigerian from PH to The Hague, the said Nigerian becomes an expatriate in the Netherlands.... and when they return it's a "repatriation".
Most Europeans in , PH ABJ and LAG, are indeed expatriates because they are in Nigeria for work/business.
Now if you are referring to the ,Levantine(Syrian and Lebanese) or Indian, long time settlers, then that's a different issue.... There is no documented (or noticeable) trend of significant Caucasian Euro/USA to Nigerian migration.
Wow 🤩 David you are flexing!!!
I like!!!
Hahaha Aframaco the Boss!
Wow, sunt încântată de ce văd!!! Așa da, sa tot urmăresc! Aș merge în Abuja, aș călători, cu mare drag! 😘🤗🤗🤗❤️👍🙏🙏🙏
Omoo Abuja 🙌🏽🥇
This awesome David, thank you for taking me round, Abuja is truly a planned city nd i hope to live here in future 👍
Your welcome Nwajei
Nice video David ! next time you want to film on the major roads in Maitama try Saturday mornings between 8 - 11 street’s are very free no hold up & the greenery looks much better because of the cool morning weather. Sunday is even emptier just that some Churches in the area block the roads. Keep it up 👍🏽
Thank you very much. Advise is taken.

@@DavidNkwa true actually
Intercontinental trade in Africa will lift Africa and Africans to another economic level
You may have even live in Maitama but have never seen it this way, mere watching this clear pictorial you can tell someone in Maitama, what's in Maitama he doesn't know or have seen !
So the kids don’t grow up to be a challenge in the future.....😂😂😂😂.....Word !!!
Its so beautiful never expected, hoping to see more of village life
Alright
We will have that series soon.
If there are specific things you will like to see in the village life(living), do comments as well. Many thanks
Hey sir, How are you? Before thanks for qualities videos and commentaries, it’s when you are not from there. I watched recently the Asokoro’s videos and to me Maitama is a better place. Asokoro is really really really really too calm amd it’s cool to live when you’re old after you achieve greats things in your life and you need peaceful place far away noises. Maitama you can find same thing you know but it’s really accessible with some infrastructures like markets you know; it’s good when you’re rich and you have energy. May God make us rich Ameen. ✌🏾😊
Amen.
Thank you
Awesome job man, excellent reporting and editing the mix of drive through and drone shot is just excellent. Thanks for sharing, which dashcam or camera are you using?

Subscribed 07/17/22 👍🏼 I’m traveling to Lagos soon…absorbing all of the information I can find!
Lovely
You can always reach out by email if you need additional information
If only we can get Godly directions on how to spend our wealth, resources, how much more beautiful it will be to have the whole of Abuja without a single slum.
Are there any slums in Abuja??
I love this Nebogh hood🇳🇬
Beautiful ❤full 👌
Superb, ce văd m aș muta acolo! 🤗❤️👍🙏🙏🙏
I have been here, amazing neighbourhood 🇧🇼
Lovely
Hmmm. Nice. People are still struggling to make a living. Brief enjoyment.
.
This is the nice parts . But it’s a real part that needs our help
3:25, ‘lets go left’, take the centre lane and then ... turn right 😂 ...
... still all the road markings, signs and lights are wholly advisory or for decorative effect unless the police are around ...
Yeah chuckle all you want! I hope you enjoy it!
Every state should be like this.
You would be surprised, as I was, but there are areas similar to Abuja in smaller sizes , in Maiduguri, in Kano, in Kaduna, in Enugu, even in Asaba!
Absolutely!
Nice one.
Thank you
Home is Home
Nice
Can you tell me why some unfortunate people still think my country is still underdeveloped!?
Maybe because of the water dwellings.
Nigeria is very underdeveloped its capitalist that are carrying this country without capitalist Nigeria would be completely useless cause the government doesn't do anything
@@Robio_scorpio
What are you saying exactly? Because what you wrote above is not ascribing to anything
Lol I hate to break it to you. But Nigeria is underdeveloped. Unless you don't know what a developed country is supposed to mean
@@victorsoderu9491 honestly I dont know who is deceiving this one
I live in abuja but dont know some of these locations
David! That house you called Mike something something chambers belongs to Mike Ozekhome, the famous activist lawyer !
Oh really. Thank you
And next to this district is the largest slum in the Abuja like why? Why can't the president do something, or is he to busy having the time of his life?
In the developing world, slums have their purposes !
@@aframaco9491 will you live there ?
@@adewalealamu9678 Not unless you're my next door neighbour!😂
It looks like Beverly Hills
70% of "expatriates" live in Maitama??
Who are they, these "expatriates"??
Why throw around figures and percentages when you are not cast iron sure?
Tut tut My favourite Mr David!!
👊🏾🇳🇬👊🏾🇳🇬!!
that building you say you love is very ugly. I keep seeing it in other videos.
Lol, how do you mean it's ugly? Maybe the place you saw it, was not well capture.
I can tell you it's beautiful, because that my way to work every.
@@DavidNkwa I like modern architecture. it looks like and old Greek buildings. which they copy from the ancient Egyptians back then it was beautiful and modern.
Ok I get your point.
@@taharka3897 the whole it's Igboland go and research about your ancient history and know yourself, what is Greek building peace .
@@chukwumaolisehemekaouwarre3236 I don't study history I study facts. you can not comprehend what I wrote. I said Greek buildings which they copy from ancient kemet (Egypt) its ugly to me. most of you white Jesus worshiping nigerians don't know shit about your own ancient facts. fuckin idiot.
this is what you need to show. American media don't show you their slums. nigeria have great potential to be one of the best countries in the world. but nigerians hate Nigeria and love America and Europe.
Lets call a spade a spade, things are not working, a real government will put things in place for growth of the nation, security, electricity, hospital, proper roads in all states, great schools, health insurance, cheap food and a strong currency. i was born in naija and electricity problems have been the same even for people born before me and you. The fact is the undeveloped part of naija is larger than the developed parts and you can't hide it. How long did it take before they built another airport in lagos? the old one is embarrassing and the new one is still not open. The matter long guy.
@@MajorrBison Iam an American. America is falling apart. that's why BIDEN is trying to get his trillions of dollars infrastructure bill passed.
So you want Nigerians to be lying to the world that we are living in paradise?in nigeria we don't enjoy electricity or water or security or good roads or food so what your talking is nonsense ,America is still a dream country
American dont really have slums they just have low income areas
@@Robio_scorpio you obviously doesn't know America. i,am from America and as a traveling cable tech I work all over the country. I worked in places thats below third world living. and most of them where white areas.
@2:17... the issue is Nigeria needs to provide free education for secondary and primary level... similar to public school education in the US
Nigeria already provide free basic education
@@DavidNkwa oh ok, cool.. so why kids do not go to school based on what you posted in that video spot
@@macanthony1982 It's often local cultures or religious beliefs and mores!
Having said that, begging for alms is alive and well in almost every country in the world , including Rome , London, New York and Paris!!
You can't educate all for no equal opportunity!!
@@aframaco9491 correct but with education, Nigerian will realize that the politicians have been screwing them all this time
I miss home, this video made my day.
@Vine S, thank you for watching.

Look like mpape
Not the most expensive but one of, Gusape is the most expensive land in Abuja now.
Those houses are beautiful...however I can’t get with the bob wire. It makes the area look like a prison. I know it’s for security but there are other things they could use.
Security, killing kidnapping is a serious issues in Nigeria, you don't want to take chances.
@@DavidNkwa I understand but bob wire around those beautiful homes? Crime rate in America is the highest in the world. If I attempted to put up bob wire around my house they’ll chase me out the community. Where I live houses start from 375-500 USD.
My Dear, if you live in Nigeria, you will understand why.
Crime rate may be higher in US, but Nigeria situation is a bit different.
@@MI-vn4tp It’s called Barb Wire for a start!
And behave, it’s not every house that have “Bob wire”!
More often, it is public buildings that are more likely to be fenced off so!
You need to watch ample videos before you arrive at an informed opinion!
@@aframaco9491 I’ve watched other videos and have seen quite a few homes with this barb wire. No capital letters in barb wire since we’re using correct spelling. Lol. It’s just my opinion it makes a beautiful home look like a prison.
Thank God no holdup onlike lagos.
Who are the builders of such beautiful estate's China?
No.
Nigeria
Naaah! Chinese are newcomers to Nigeria, and they only work on government projects like the rail lines!
Abuja has been ongoing for over 35 years!
How do you vlog in a car
Mount a camera on your head.
Oh my, I live in Maitama Amazon street 🤣
Your street is on UA-cam now lol.
Thanks for watching kindly Subscribe if you haven't yet
Complimenti!! You are very good filmaker thank you. !
If this is the best place to live in Abuja, then Nigeria has extremely long way to go.
Why ? What irks you so sir?
They're other places in Abuja o even more expensive but more private and maitama is more publt
#Joe_M show us where is more beautiful than this? Am waiting. UA-cam troller mtchew
Even in your next live you can't afford those houses..you just want to feel among. but we know where you are from..
Theas aren't the best places to live in Abuja you toolbox. I've just come back to the UK after staying in Asokoro (the most expensive part of Abuja), and I can tell you my jaw dropped seeing some the homes there despite knowing lready what they were like, including the one I was staying at. Most of the homes will have in house cleaners, cooks, security, drivers, waiters etc.
Nice coverage with beautiful building, 80% were suffering pls visit any village and show the world too.
Thanks
People in villages don't suffer as much as people who flock to the cities without skills and live in slums!
Villagers can often farm and feed themselves!
Take your own camera there to satisfy your crave for negativity.
Nigerian houses need some serious update to their design. They are still using designs from 20 years ago
You want to judge the whole of Nigeria houses based on this place? Watch other videos as well on the channel, there are modern houses
@@DavidNkwa I have seen other videos. Yes we have improved but with the new updated builds, they are still not impressive at all but they are charging prices comparable to houses in the West. Either reduce your price or give amazing designs. Maybe it is because i am in the west and more critical
@@mr.increediblle7964 Mr M leave the West out of the argument!
Nothing is as disheartening as self degradation.
There are houses in posh areas of London that have been there since the time of William Shakespeare!
Guzape and Katampe have thousands of houses that are ultra modern and can hold their own any day!
@@aframaco9491 Even if i leave the West out of it, compare it to fellow countries within Africa. I love Architecture hence why i am critical and to be completely honest, we haven't improved ours in a long time. Mostly incremental changes
We are not exactly leading Africa when it comes to Architectural builds. I guess Nigeria has more problems than what our houses look like
@@mr.increediblle7964 Well build your house Mr Architect make we see now!
Or do you forbid being a trendsetter??
These houses are mostly built and designed and owned by individuals .
To criticise another man’s home because it doesn’t appeal to your own taste is a serious low !!
Is Abuja a walkable city or do you need a car to run your daily errands?
It's walkable, it's motorable, any one you want, you will find it within
You better get a car! Abuja is the nearest Nigerian city to American ones!
It is a car city ! At this time, there are almost no public transport!
Possibly in the future, but right now it is cars, including taxis and Ubers to get around!
The city is not walkable whatsoever. You need a car.
@@WillieFungo I love your Rwanda videos bro
Not true.@Willie Fungo you can walk if you want depending on where you are going.
THE CITY IS BEAUTIFUL BUT THERE IS NO SECURITY. ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN .
There is no security in Maitama? hahaha, you don't know this place. That's the safest place in Abuja, even the Inspector General of Police lives here. DO you know the kind of people that live here? ask
Sharrrap ! All the mass shootings in America, no one can stop them!
Nigeria is by far safer than The US, Brazil, Mexico, India, Bangladesh and even South Africa!!
Any given day!
It might be the most expensive but it’s far from well built, well finished or well maintained ...
We are waiting on you man ! Come and play your part !
Your opinion
@@King_Nez not an opinion but an objective analysis based on a lifetimes observation of buildings and structures around the globe.
@@aframaco9491 .. I’ve done my part building infrastructure power plants in Nigeria only to see them crippled by gas supply issues, poor grid connections and poor bordering on incompetent maintenance.
Nothing is 100% perfect in this world anywhere in the world. So appreciate what you see and leave the rest.
You didn't travel through the farmers market in Maitama?
I show it sir
No Road signs no Road markings...
Are you sure you watched the video?
I will love to help those kids
That will be a good idea
Give them #50million next day you will see them on the street same place.. they were trained to beg .
Things could change if you have good governance that implements it's policies
Are you serious? You see two kids on the street and you want to help??
That's pathetic, Oregon is fast becoming the capital of Skid Rows on the west coast of the United States!
Sort your own people out first!!!
Who are these clowns 🤡 🤡🤡🤡anyway?
Jeeeeeezee!!
Very nice video 👌. But please those kids in 2:19 are mostly non Nigerians. They are here for begging only and have no interest in school or jobs, no matter how you try to convince them. They are everywhere in major Nigerians cities with their parents and are mostly from Niger republic, Chad and Mali.
I have a question how much money two people need to eat in Nigeria
How much food would you like to eat ?
What are kids begging for arms doing in maitama?
They are begging for alms not arms!
They are begging for money to feed perhaps?
All develop countries Mark their road and create walk way. Why is Nigeria capital said to be the most expensive area in Nigeria looking this way
You can't write correctly in English!
Fraudulent preek !
You are a troll 👿 !
You must be blind or something not to see the wide walkways on both side of the roads. There are countless number of roads in UK and US without road markings, too many of them. Just shut the hell up
There are sidewalks. The sidewalks are in-between the greenery and the fences. You can't see it from the angle of this driving. Abuja is planned different from other cities.
Estates in other states beats this maitama
Lol
Mention
Won de!! Awon alariwo!
We need to know how much they rent house here
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
It varies. But you can check Jiji.ng
I still prefer asokoro than maitama
I call this a false facade to the real thing that is ongoing in Nigeria. Is only small percentage of Nigerian citizens that enjoy the luxury displayed here in comparison to the ghetto slum shown in his previous video. Is shameful to see some people have the heart to enjoy life's luxuries while others have little or nothing or no compensations life is painful.
Truth 💯
Exactly. This is like a drop in the ocean
In England there are a lot of homeless people just like in the USA and France but they all claim they are first world and very rich ...
@@adetu264 which ocean ?
Bros , that goes for just about every society and every country of the world!
Don’t let anyone deceive you! Life is hard, very hard!
You either work hard or get lucky!
Nobody promised you a rose garden!
You gatta Hustle!!!!!
Why is Maitama the "most expensive district" in Abuja; it looks so crowded with heavy traffic why will anybody spend so much money just to live there?
It looks crowded? Really. Did you watch this video so..lol
Because they want to! In life we have choices! You don’t like it, you wouldn’t want to stay in Maitama obviously, but others like it, and others wouldn’t mind staying there..,,
....So let them be!!!
Because they like the vibe! It’s a culture thing, don’t try to understand it!
The moment you see the videos of Abuja you will know that it is a city in a third world all rather developing country. Seriously, there is no attention to details on the street level despite some good buildings. It is very annoying.
Abuja looks better than some cities in the USA
@@IkesLionsDen Who cares? I am telling you about paying attention to detail in our capital city you are telling me it is better than some cities in USA. Like which cities in USA?
This is the problem we always have in this country. People like you who keep making some bogus points and don't support them with facts. Abuja roads are not even marked in the first place and are dusty.
@@youme1414
Abuja road Dusty!? What are you saying bro
@@michaelomale1975 don't mind his ignorance
@@michaelomale1975 Yes, many roads are dusty in Abuja. In fact, even in Maitama you still find some cracks on the road. Don't even make any attempt to go outside the government areas else you are going to be surprised. In places like Mpape, etc.
You are among the problems we have in this country because you are comfortable with mediocrity.
Ur so excited showing fulani developing places with Ur family and other people's money and Ur so Happy, it's disgraceful and stupidity,some of U people don't have shame.
I agree with you, some of the responses do border on the ridiculous, but why are you so uncivil, why do you need to hurl insults at people! Another thing, learn how to write in English!
travel to abj and see your brothers contributing to its development or sit in ya village crying
I am not putting any insult to any one,all the words I used is not outrageous one it depends on Ur own understanding, Ur friend said I am staying in the village, let him go to Facebook and see were l am living, and very importantly let U guys open up and NO what's up.
