No tribes dominates no religion dominates. And again it all depends on your area or where u stay. Abuja is a city for all Nigerians and Africans at large. Nice vlog enjoy your stay
@@AdekunleEnoch-n1g it's like u're saying Russians are the indigenous people of Alaska bc the USA bought it from Russia. Nope it belongs to the USA now, it's USA property. Abuja land was sold long gone, developed by oil money from the Southern Nigeria. The south provide oil and imports trades and the Northern Nigeria provides food
@@Silver-l5x it wasn't sold, if Nigeria divides into 6 countries, ABJ will be in the middlebelt, nothing was sold, know this and know peace, pushing for the capital to be moved away from Lagos was the best thing my people did, you could've been saying crap
Abuja has the best and most expansive road networks in the whole of Africa. By the time the markings are completed and more areas developed, the FCT will be unrivalled. It is curious to me that you noticed but never highlighted the greenery in Abuja which ranks topmost in most of Africa. Yes, the city is thin on skyscrapers because the capital of Nigeria was originally conceived to be an administrative and not commercial nerve centre (hub) of the country. Lagos is the commercial capital because it is located close to the coast of the Atlantic Ocean for seaports and industrial corridors. In a few years time, Abuja's magnificent looks as an ultramodern Metropolis will be better enhanced. More investments in different sectors will make that possible. What makes it a unique city is its original African nature devoid of Western influence unlike cities in Northern, Eastern and Southern Africa. Enjoy your stay.
Abuja is the original home of the Gbagyi/Gwari people. Although its now the home for all Nigerians since its the capital city. Abuja is located in the North Central Region of Nigeria, hence you'll see more Northerners there.
Abuja was intentionally designed to be a low rise city hence the few sky scrapers, the centenary city is a district in Abuja meant for exactly business and the potential sky scrapers. It's in development phase as at now. Great video sister. Welcome to Abuja my city.
Have missed this city so much 😢 Abuja the best place home to many beautiful people and home of great amazing night life with delicious food 😋😋 and beautiful places... I love Abj!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤
Abuja is deliberately plan not to have many high scrappers, maximum of 12 floors, no ethnic group dominate Abuja, Abuja is planned as non ethic city but a place where everyone will come and feel at home either Nigerian or non Nigerian
That house has never been called the most beautiful house in Abuja! It used to be called the biggest residential house in Abuja but in recent time, bigger houses than it have been built. You need to check the one in Guzape, it's bigger and much beautiful/modern.
Gbagyi people are the main indigenes of the land Abuja was constructed from and they are majorly Christian in faith, although they are not large in number as a tribe. Abuja is Federal Capital Territory so it belongs to all.
Good job you did a better job here than in lagos 👏 you also remind me when I visited garoua there is a sweet call bom bom a kind of yellow round ball sweet I ask the man what is this? He said is a sweet 😅
We don’t use bus in Abuja, the cars painted green and white are the taxi, but They are some places u won’t find them, eg central area etc. so people tend to use bolt in that area
All that will change soon cos the new minister of Abuja fct, has just commenced construction of 4 major modern bus terminals in various parts of the city and it will have a bus interchange with use of cards for payment. It's by same company that built the Oshodi bus terminal & interchange in Lagos. The buses will transverse the city, thereby taken out most of the small cabs. The terminals will be completed by the end of 2025.
Originally, Abuja territory was the villages of the Gbagi/Gwari but the federal government have seized it from them and made the city a no tribe's city but the center of unity.
@@elomocaroltv There is an Abuja city plan which restricts buildings to a particular height or number of flooors. There is a central area designated for tall buildings, but they are yet to build them, Abuja has four phases and I think only one or two phases currently are completed, according to the Abuja Masterplan. That house is no means the most beautiful house in Abuja, lol. Your guide should take you around Katampe Extension and some other areas so you'll see then houses.
It is prohibited because they cannot afford to build even one. Look at that millennium tower for more 20 years abandoned unfinished. And Lagos has only one skyscraper but the actual building will not even qualify as skyscraper unless the height of the spire is included to reach 160 meters. If the spire is not included the height of Necom House is probably at 120 meters .
1. The stadium is the Nigeria's National Stadium known as Moshud Abiola Stadium 2. The mosque is heavily guarded cos of the calibre of dignitaries that attend the prayers. 3. The CBN is were our Naira are printed. 4. The Natl Christian Centre is not a church, its a non denominational centre. People also do events there.
No the Naira is not printed at the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) It is printed at the Nigerian Security Printing and Minting Company (NSPMC) which is close by to the CBN building. The both have annex offices in Lagos, the CBN around Marina & Broad street Lagos Island, while NSPMC is at Victoria Island.
I am not sure but according to the master plan. Abuja does not encourage too much of skyscrapers that is in terms the height , that was what I learnt from folks when I visited the country last year from Texas.
Facts, but a district or area has been set for that, to comprise lots of highrise buildings, golf course etc, it is the Abuja Centenary city located off the airport expressway on the city outskirts.
Elomo, there are 24 hour roads in Wuse 2, where there are shops and some open 24 hours. Adetukumbo Ademola Crescent is one of those roads on the other side of Wuse 2 also..
Madam, Abuja has a master plan and high rises or skyscrapers are limited to a certain height and in the CBD area. Abuja was designed to avoid the concrete jungle look, many big cities in the world have.....thats why it has lots of trees, greenery, parks to give a serene, calm natural ambience that makes Abuja stand out from other capital cities globally
Thank you for another excellent video. Your passion and enthusiasm always shine through. The security at the mosque is probably for the benefit of the president and other VIPs that come to pray there.
National mosque is NOT heavily guarded. CBN building is for administration, not currency centre. Production of currency is at a different centre entirely
Abuja has the seat of government and high rise buildings are somewhat prohibitted. It has no major ethnic group. The original land owners were relocated to a different place while the land was developed into a city from scratch.
He mixed things up, he meant to say it's the most expensive private residential building in Abuja. Been there for so long and no one can really tell who owns it or what what
I have been waiting for this video, am happy u are enjoying your time in abuja i hope u will ride on the abuja metro train around some section of the city i believe u will like it .
There’s a place called The Presidency, it’s an office and you can go take pictures there or if there is something valid to do in the Presidency you will get to go through
Originally Abuja was planned to ve skyscrapers not more 12 floors but that has changed. you can built 100 floors now if there's demand for more office space.
The Naira is produced by the Nigerian Security Printing and Minting Company Limited (NSPMC), a separate entity with offices located in another part of the city. The CBN is just the headquarters of Nigeria's fiscal and monetary policies, and oversees the commercial banks in Nigeria.
The top of the mosque the round gold top is actually gold and it doesn't fades. Abuja is actually my favorite city but Lagos have the vibs Lagos is like one of a kind second to non the were way dey Lagos no be here
@@elomocaroltv for the Christian worship center it's will have a regulatory body and doesn't belong to only one church its for all churches you have to book ahead if your church want to use the center. But for me the most iconic christian worship center in Nigeria is built in Uyo, akaw ibom state trust me the one at uyo will steal your heart. Research on international worship center Uyo
It doesn't have sky scrappers because sky scrappers are not compulsory in a city and it was deigned not to have sky scrappers . not because it was designed as a residential area. Even its business districts are designed without sky scrappers. However there is a new city being built I believe it's called millennial city or something like that that has been approved to have some sky scrappers
The native people of Abuja are the Gbagyi who are also native to Kaduna and Minna. Talking about demographics, Christians dominate Abuja. You can even observe that from the number and sizes of the churches compared to mosques. The largest groups in Abuja are Gbagyi and the closely related groups from central Nigeria (southern Kaduna, Igala, Tiv, Ebirra, Plateau, Idoma, Taraba, Adamawa, Nupe etc) ; with the Igbo (of southern Nigeria) and the Muslim Hausa-Kanuri-Fulani people constituting large communities too.
As for the national Christian center, it's a non denominational Christianity center opened for rentals. Every body that wants to have a christian program/activity can come and rent it. It is done based on first come first served (first to book, first to use).
Its not compulsory to have sky scrappers to make a city a city. The design of Abuja was made deliberately not to have sky scrappere... They however have a new city being built in abuja (i think its called millennial city)where sky scrappers have been approved.
Lagos has more high rise building. Abuja is not dominated by any ethnic group. Abuja has better roads than Lagos. Lastly the station was formerly name national stadium but later change to mushood Abiola station to honour him. Good job girl
The White House also restricts people from going right up to it. You can take pictures outside the guard rails which is actually quite far from the White House itself. You can only go past those rails by invite of the White House or on a tour of the White House and I'm sure it is high security background checks too. Some military and police will definitely be in plaIn clothes also. Same with Buckingham Palace in London, you can't go beyond the gates unless you have a royal invite or you are on a tour.
That house is the most expensive house in Abuja, the land was bought for $7.5 million dollars in 2005, it belongs to chairman of A.A oil mugul. No one knows the worth of the house bc no one knows what's in there, estate experts says the house would cost $4 million dollars to build. As expected oil mugul in Nigeria 🤦🏼♂️ would just build an expensive house and just abandon it while wasting our natural resources and money Gosh
Nigerian leaders and policy makers deliberately chose Abuja {Central location} because of its neutrality. The idea behind building a compromise neutral location for the capital city was in order to elimate the question that you have asked about who owns Abuja. Our leaders wanted every Nigerian to feel a sense of belonging in the capital city and that is why a central location was chosen to build the capital.
😂😂 I like ya flyer slogan "You Can Be Happy". Actually the person who made that flyer hasn't been to my country yet. In my country, there is no reason to be happy apart from apart sep.
That's the Nigerian national stadium...l dont think you are allowed to build skyscrapers in Abuja,12 storey is the highest for business premises and 4 for residential.The world trade centre was granted special permission to build those skyscrapers....That dome at the top of the national mosque is pure gold,not surprising the mosque is guarded.Because Abuja was built from a village unlike lagos almost every Nigerian tribe lives there equally..The locals were compensated by Nigerian government,so the territory called FCT belong to every Nigerian...
You are comparing lagos as a state to Abuja municipal area. Thats a wrong comparison. The FCT is three times bigger than lagos but because lagos towns and local government are joined together like one city, people easily forget that lagos is not a city but a state that comprised of many cities. But i understand why the mistake is made. Lagos is the smallest state in Nigeria in terms of territory but its the largest in population, as such, all its cities are joined together like one city.
Abuja is planned in such a way that won't see a lot of residential buildings until you start visiting estates 🤣🤣 anyways waiting for your Port-Harcourt vlog
@@Wady112Yes, the Gbagyi are the indigenous people, but according to law, the Federal capital territory is not a State, county etc So it belongs to no tribe or ethnic group. Hence there's no state house of assembly or representative like other Nigerian states. Most of the Gbagyi indigenous people were relocated from their villages in many parts of the city where u find transcorp hotel today for example, to the outskirts and other areas by the General Babangida and Abacha Govt. Only recently some where also relocated or asked to leave for their villages for the construction of the new Abuja Airport runway and expansion. Though they were compensated by the Govt led by aviation minister Mr. Festus Keyamo.
@@Freddvibzey the question was who are the indigenous people of Abuja? The funny thing is my mom is Gbagyi. So you are saying if you ask the Gbagyi man where he is from, like his state of origin, what will his answer be? No where?
Gbagi have been resettled and thus, Abuja is constitutionally regarded as no man's area and that's why it's not a state where state governments can cater to the indigenes. Abuja is a federal property and thus, belong to all Nigerians..@@Wady112
No particular ethnic group dominate Abuja but hausa language is more widely spoken and broken English.The original ethnic groups of the FCT are Gbagi or Gwary,Bassa,Gwandara and Egbira koto.
National Mosque and National Church buildings were financed by Federal govt in the early 80s, and the religious bodies build by themselves. Same amoung was given
As someone who has lived in Lagos and now in Abuja, i can tell you that the main difference between the two cities is the type of people you meet. Lagos professionals are more internationally exposed than Abuja's
One mistake I notice in the video is that you compared Lagos State area to Abuja (city) area. This is so funny, Lagos is a State, but also, most of the state is called Lagos like a city. Abuja is just one town in FCT. So the correct comparison will be Lagos (state - 3,475 km²) vs FCT (territory - 7,315 km²), and not versus Abuja (a city inside FCT). Also, as you can see, Abuja has lots of space so the city does not need any skyscraper. Lagos is tiny with smaller space so it needs skyscrapers. If the FCT gets congested in future, which will happen, the government may start building skyscrapers by then.
Abuja masterplan prohibited skyscrapers. I learned they are beginning to relax rule. Abuja originally belongs to the Gbagyi people but is now a National capital with no dominant ethnic group. Finally I suggest you do more research for your voice overs. Maybe consider using a script
No tribes dominates no religion dominates. And again it all depends on your area or where u stay. Abuja is a city for all Nigerians and Africans at large. Nice vlog enjoy your stay
Thank you
Abuja also has indigenes, just because people live doesn't change the fact

No one knows the worth of the house bc no one knows what's in there, estate experts says the house would cost $4 million dollars to build.
As expected oil mugul in Nigeria 🤦🏼♂️ would just build an expensive house and just abandon it while wasting our natural resources and money Gosh
Wowwwww, that's alot of money indeed.
Nigerian leaders and policy makers deliberately chose Abuja {Central location} because of its neutrality. The idea behind building a compromise neutral location for the capital city was in order to elimate the question that you have asked about who owns Abuja. Our leaders wanted every Nigerian to feel a sense of belonging in the capital city and that is why a central location was chosen to build the capital.
Abuja is an hausa land own by the gwari people
The original inhabitants are mainly Gbagyi and Gwari but as it is, a no man land.
Nice
Nobody get Abuja. Those Gbagyi people were resettled by government
Abuja belongs to nobody. Gbagyi people were resettled by the government
@theafricanheritage4542 oh really

That's the Nigerian national stadium...l dont think you are allowed to build skyscrapers in Abuja,12 storey is the highest for business premises and 4 for residential.The world trade centre was granted special permission to build those skyscrapers....That dome at the top of the national mosque is pure gold,not surprising the mosque is guarded.Because Abuja was built from a village unlike lagos almost every Nigerian tribe lives there equally..The locals were compensated by Nigerian government,so the territory called FCT belong to every Nigerian...
Oh wow pure gold. You guys are so rich oh
There are no sky scrappers in Nigeria...... you have high rise towers......and yes there are more high rise buildings in lagos than abj😊😊😊
Ok ohhhh
The original ethnic group in Abuja is gwari and it is middle belt
Ohhhh thank you.
You are comparing lagos as a state to Abuja municipal area. Thats a wrong comparison. The FCT is three times bigger than lagos but because lagos towns and local government are joined together like one city, people easily forget that lagos is not a city but a state that comprised of many cities. But i understand why the mistake is made. Lagos is the smallest state in Nigeria in terms of territory but its the largest in population, as such, all its cities are joined together like one city.
In other words, can we say, Lagos is like the UK and Abuja like the US, in terms of land mass and set-up.
@OluwaseunOluborode-bb2jd wow
ABJ can't have many sky scrapers cos it's the federal seat, it's like DC you can't have many sky scrapers for security reasons
This makes so much sense now, thank you
I like you 🎉🎉🎉❤❤
🙈🙈🙈 awwww thank you.
Abuja is planned in such a way that won't see a lot of residential buildings until you start visiting estates 🤣🤣 anyways waiting for your Port-Harcourt vlog
🙏
Abuja as a capital of Nigeria is a center of Nigeria unity, so it really not belong to any particular ethic group.
Interesting.
I beg to differ. I agree Abuja is the federal Capital Territory but you have indigenous people of Abuja and they are THE GBAGYIS
@@Wady112Yes, the Gbagyi are the indigenous people, but according to law, the Federal capital territory is not a State, county etc So it belongs to no tribe or ethnic group. Hence there's no state house of assembly or representative like other Nigerian states. Most of the Gbagyi indigenous people were relocated from their villages in many parts of the city where u find transcorp hotel today for example, to the outskirts and other areas by the General Babangida and Abacha Govt. Only recently some where also relocated or asked to leave for their villages for the construction of the new Abuja Airport runway and expansion. Though they were compensated by the Govt led by aviation minister Mr. Festus Keyamo.
@@Freddvibzey the question was who are the indigenous people of Abuja?
The funny thing is my mom is Gbagyi.
So you are saying if you ask the Gbagyi man where he is from, like his state of origin, what will his answer be? No where?
Gbagi have been resettled and thus, Abuja is constitutionally regarded as no man's area and that's why it's not a state where state governments can cater to the indigenes. Abuja is a federal property and thus, belong to all Nigerians..@@Wady112
Lagos has more skyscrapers than any city in Nigeria
Wow
Only one skyscraper in Lagos. Thats the Necom house
@Feroxx65 oh ok

We do not have skyscrapers in Nigeria. We only have story buildings. 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬
Ok
Who told you that oga??
Any tower with at least 100m height is to be considered a skyscraper.
I have never seen a story building in Nigeria.
_…but on my street, there are storey buildings_
No particular ethnic group dominate Abuja but hausa language is more widely spoken and broken English.The original ethnic groups of the FCT are Gbagi or Gwary,Bassa,Gwandara and Egbira koto.
Thank you very much for this
National Mosque and National Church buildings were financed by Federal govt in the early 80s, and the religious bodies build by themselves. Same amoung was given
Oh wow
As someone who has lived in Lagos and now in Abuja, i can tell you that the main difference between the two cities is the type of people you meet. Lagos professionals are more internationally exposed than Abuja's
Lagos is a place for business minds it makes sense
@@elomocaroltv and there are more foreigners in Lagos than Abuja.
@MrSamAdah maybe more foreigners come there for business since it's the economic capital.
The Gbagi people are the original ethnic nationality that owns Abuja before the capital was moved to Abuja.
Ohhhh
That Church is owing me money
😂 you don't mean it. How did they become indebted to you?

Abuja belongs to gbayi that's my language
Lol, I think you mean Gbayi belongs to Abuja while Abuja belongs to Nigeria that's why anyone from any ethnicity can be the FCT minister
One mistake I notice in the video is that you compared Lagos State area to Abuja (city) area. This is so funny, Lagos is a State, but also, most of the state is called Lagos like a city. Abuja is just one town in FCT. So the correct comparison will be Lagos (state - 3,475 km²) vs FCT (territory - 7,315 km²), and not versus Abuja (a city inside FCT). Also, as you can see, Abuja has lots of space so the city does not need any skyscraper. Lagos is tiny with smaller space so it needs skyscrapers. If the FCT gets congested in future, which will happen, the government may start building skyscrapers by then.
Thank you so much for this.
Abuja masterplan prohibited skyscrapers. I learned they are beginning to relax rule.
Abuja originally belongs to the Gbagyi people but is now a National capital with no dominant ethnic group.
Finally I suggest you do more research for your voice overs. Maybe consider using a script
Thank you so much for the suggestion
Your Cameroon president is in Switzerland , seeking asylum why are they still security personnel guarding the presidential villa ? 😂😂😂
