Embark on an extraordinary journey with me as we delve into a reaction video to a Nigerian mansion tour, expertly guided by the distinguished Steven Ndukwu. This adventure is more than just a tour; it's a cultural exploration that reveals the essence of Nigerian luxury, where the grandiosity of a roof is not merely architectural but a significant flex of wealth. Steven Ndukwu, through his unparalleled narrative, introduces us to the epitome of opulence within Nigeria, offering a perspective that is as enlightening as it is visually captivating.
In this unique reaction piece, we'll also touch on the contributions of famed mansion tour aficionados like Enes Yilmazer, Ryan Serhant, and Jason Matouk, showcasing how their insights enrich our global understanding of high-end properties. However, as we marvel at the splendor of these Nigerian estates, we'll navigate the essential art of identifying flaws in properties-a skill equally vital in appreciating the craftsmanship and beauty embedded in these architectural marvels.
This Nigerian mansion tour is a vivid illustration of how beauty and wealth manifest distinctly across different cultures. Here, Steven Ndukwu's expertise is paramount, as he leads us through luxurious homes that, while might be deemed perfect and opulent by Nigerian standards, present an aesthetic that could be perceived as unconventional, or even outlandish, to the Western eye. It’s a testament to the diverse spectrum of luxury, deeply rooted in the cultural and societal norms that vary from Africa to the Western world.
Steven Ndukwu’s narrations are a crucial bridge in understanding these differences, offering viewers a rich, nuanced view of Nigerian luxury living. His insights not only celebrate the grandeur of these mansions but also challenge our perceptions of beauty and wealth, encouraging a deeper appreciation for how cultural context shapes architectural expression.
As we traverse through the landscapes of Nigerian luxury with Steven Ndukwu, let this mansion tour serve as a beacon of cultural exploration. It highlights the fascinating contrasts between local aesthetics and what many in the West might find unconventional, offering a window into the diverse expressions of luxury and architectural beauty across the globe.
Join us on this captivating journey through Nigeria, as we dissect the essence of opulence, culture, and architectural divergence. Remember, the beauty of these mansions extends beyond their physical structures, reflecting the rich tapestry of cultural values and aesthetics that define luxury in different parts of the world.

I never understand why Nigerians don't like grass in their compounds 🥺
Bugs spiders
Yes we don't like greenery it's attract powers
snakes bruh
@@sixtysyxti3235 bugs and spiders live happily in houses without needing grass.
@@amandadavid5675 explain please.
Another reason for the high roofs which wasn’t stated is that 1- it helps reduce heat in the house. Nigeria is very hot, a high roof prevents heat from the sun from radiating easily into the house. 2- those roofs last longer because the rain easily runs off the roof and the impact of the rain drops is reduced.
The middle east is hotter but their roofs are not this ugly
@@kudzaimushonga9797 how is that roof ugly, please move away
@@JustinClark-r4z it’s his opinion though not sure why you’d be triggered by that
@@JustinClark-r4zThey just copied Western designs. Those type of roofs were meant to shed off heavy snow that could cave in the roof. Houses in Maine, Florida, Utah or California don't have high ugly azz roof. This something not be fancy with.
That roof is not ugly, so what are you talking about?
Oh wow I was not expecting that last couple of minutes, knowing that they build those mansions that they don't even live in to inspire and help their community changes everything. That is an extremely honorable thing to do, hats off to them.
I know … and their close family actually gets to stay in one of the structures …. Very kind
You would think that if they really wanted to inspire and help their community, instead of building empty trophy monuments to themselves, they would build a school or job training academy that would actually directly help people to help themselves.
It is always bad to judge without having facts. Not only do they build the big houses which their relatives ends up being the ones who occupy them,they also build schools and community centres and roads and drainages via pulling funds together to make it happen. Am from that part of Nigeria and we in diaspora actually just pulled funds together and built an ultra modern market worth $8m for my community. Dont hate on people when they build trophy houses to pat their selves on the back for having done well for themselves.
It's called greedy
You can tell there's no zoning board or Water/electrical grid to tie into. Everything is hodgepodge and built like a movie set. ( not for real use )
From an engagement point of view: the surface silly-ness of the homes grab viewers, but you skillfully add in real cultural perspective and insights.
Please more of these - I'd love to see more from your home country Iran.
If you try to correct them they'll tell you with insults that you're jealous.
What exactly are you correcting???
It's your money. You build to your taste. Simple.
We know what you're trying to allude to but you're failing so bad. The issues pointed out in this video apply to houses ALL OVER NIGERIA. The video could be even more critical if done in major urban cities outside the region. These issues (terrible utilisation of space, lack of central air conditioning, bland to terrible architectural design, lack of functional areas and utilities in compounds, militarisation of compounds to name a few) apply all over Nigeria and are even worse in the urban areas.
They already started insulting you.
They are triggered beyond belief that someone would critic that hideous roof design & the mansions.
@@Alan_GA Not your money, Not your house, Not your problem. Not everything deserves an opinion. Should we also follow your fashion sense n whatever hairstyle you find acceptable 🤔😒🙄
These look so much like the McMansions being built around Bossier City, Louisiana; I swear they had the same architect. And there, too; it's all for show. And the same lack of landscaping.
I guess it's what works in Nigeria, for Nigerians. It's not for me, but I'm not from Nigeria. I'm sure there are more architecturally pleasing homes in Nigeria, but these seem like specific neighborhoods, with this unusual McMansion design. We have the McMansion trend in the states also. And it's really really bad.
Edit: What the house owner said really made a lot of kind sense for his family and village. I like why he built it even if I don't connect with the architecture personally. 😊
I really enjoy Steve’s videos. This particular video was hilarious. I couldn’t not find one property that functionally made sense or was even aesthetic enough to justify the absurd design and flow. These homes are the result of prioritizing putting on a facade for your neighbor’s validation.
There is nothing like Nigerian standard, people build houses according to their taste.
I don’t think these houses are being built 100% according to their taste … as most are being built without the owners ever seeing the property
don't mind the nama. talking out of his pie hole lol
No one builds a house without seeing the overall architectural design.
When it rains in Nigeria, it pours heavily and that informs the roofing style. It prevents percolation and encourages runoff. The high roof also helps to reduce heat. The fact that the compound is big, does not mean that we should build a football pitch for a living room.
@@ArvinHaddadOfficial trust me this is to the man's taste and pocket... Nigerian houses are mostly built to taste except you buy from estates... And that's what I love about Africa...we are not boxed like the West.
@@ArvinHaddadOfficial...you are not a Nigerian..we build according to our taste ...even if we are not seeing it physically..the owner of the house always direct the operations through video calls
Just found your channel by chance and I really like it! Your charisma and knowledge is off the charts. Thank you for producing excellent content; UA-cam is very important to me.
They spent $1million and it shows. No landscaping, the pillars look like stucco with a thin veneer of stone like you see in the surburbs, almost no architectural detailing. The second house had those stupid bulbous extrusions that just ruin the design, the windows look like they’re from a prison. The ceiling height in the living room is ridiculous in proportion to the length and width. Any why do the houses only come in black and white!! The third house is not much better but at least it doesn’t ruin Palladio’s design those any further
It’s probably the material that is most available
Hate comment
That's Nigeria for you. The best landscaping I've seen is artificial turf with concrete paving on the side 😂
Nigerians really aren't big on landscaping. Kinda annoying
Ooh, please do mansions in South Africa. Aliya Homes & Let's Prop In have really amazing houses they showcase
I frequently express my dissatisfaction with Nigeria's architectural design and architects. The land resembles a prison, its bulking and imposing structure. You won't find any gardens, trees, or pathways outside and they consistently copy the design from one another, including minor modifications. Reasons houses are too hoot:
1. Poor orientation
2. No wall or roof insulation
3. Unshaded and Small size windows
4. No verandahs
5. Inadequate ventilation
6. Lack of windbreak planting
7. No well thought cooling system.
4.
Everything you said here is false. Especially the part about windows. Most houses in Nigeria now have French windows
Wall or roof insulation in a hot country? Do you know how hot that would be. You lot just criticize without thinking
What do you mean by inadequate ventilation?. That means you haven't seen any houses in Nigeria. You are just commenting for the sake of it
We have well thought out cooling systems and use air conditioners most times because of the humid weather. We also make sure we gave cross ventilation. How can you be commenting on something you know nothing about
Ok I get from Nigerian posters that the high roofs are to help with the rain & heat, but that doesn't mean we can't point out the unproportionate size of the rest of the house. After watching & subscribing to Arvin's channel you learn to be a little more discerning. If its supposed to be luxury why no 15 foot ceilings? The ceiling height is what you would find in a middle class home in the US. Why no interest in natural light with windows? The insides look like a cave. Mansions in the Philippines or other parts of Asia - also hot climates don't look like that.
Having too much windows in Nigeria and Africa as a whole is a security risk.
It’s the same in Indian culture the explanation of why they do this .
You go to India and everyone has left for living abroad but still they build massive mansions that lay empty.
Whole villages where most of it is empty
Keep doing these tours/reviews of mansions around the world! I love to see the differences and get tired of the same modern styles.
I think the height is for the heat. The avoidance of grass and a pool is because there is no water. I think it would be too hot to play tennis. I’m sure air conditioning should be paramount. My favorite one was the one with the brick floor. The dream part is awesome.
Great job Arvin, really Interesting video. living in Africa in the '70s/'80s I remember houses were influenced by British architecture, adapting to the climate, and blending with the environment for a warm atmosphere. The houses in the video look like Lego blocks, lacking warmth and not blending with the surroundings. Building with the environment and culture in mind is key to beauty and warmth. The Romans also built according to the environment and climate. Showing wealth! In Africa my observation was investing in infrastructure helps the community more.
You are correct the American family had also built a school in their village
beauty and warmth according to who... you? Have you asked them if the home lacks beauty and warmth? original mumu
@@fistandpen2505 you know nothing
@@MondaySam-xr1iy and you're a fool
I like the new format. Thanks.
Glad you like it! Well done more
I'm watching from Nigeria
welcome to the channel
Thank you
The owners are very smart to have razor wire atop their gated compound.
2:50, that's one ugly house and yard, zero landscaping and like you said, the proportions are off, so unpleasing to the eye. 😮😮
Coming from someone living inside the cave. 😢
That tall and prominent roof has always looks absurd to me. In Nigeria it is mostly people with new money that insist the architect design it that way, people with class doesn't follow the majority
Class indeed 🙄
What kind of roof did mud houses have??? 😒🤥
@@TheIkeman74 Thatch roof
@@anasabubakar4125 tell that chap, that thatched roofs were not only environmentally friendly but served a purpose of cooling the house plus enhancing air circulation.
Hey bro, I thought you were Iranian! Good to see you achieving goals and very successful 💪
I saw this video. I am prepared to accept the high pointed roof as Classical Nigerian - lol. But my overall impression was that the homes were going to miss on functionality. Either on rooms being too small or wasted space. And yes, I noticed the absolutely barren landscape with not a tree in sight. I mean, tropical people have to deal with bugs and whatnot, and they love having fruit trees around if the property is large enough.
Love these videos!
Thanks pal
Can you do a comparison between 1 million dollar houses in Nairobi and Lagos under the same channel PLEASE!!!!
I have a friend from Nigeria. I can confirm that she and her husband own a compound in Nigeria that is populated by their extended family. Incidentally, she went “home” for a funeral and found that some family members kicked out other family members. What a mess she had to handle, just for doing what she is obligated to do. One of them even poisoned her own son with snake venom.
I'm from mbaise IMO state
The reason for spacious compound spaces in our village mansions are for parties ..igbo men throw parties in their house most time they visit ..and this are nit small parties .. they are concert like parties ..in Nigeria we dont throw small house parties like u guys do in America
Cool thanks for sharing
Is it is Business. How we build our houses should not be his business.
@@marony3529 I tire oo .... instead of him to study people before doing this video, he just watched and started condemning and complaining, everyone has their own taste and most Nigerians build their houses with their taste except for those buying in estates
HUGE OR BIG ROOF IS ACTUALLY AFRICAN CULTURE, EVEN THE SMALL HOUSES WITH SAND HAVE HUGE ROOF... LIKE PIRAMID AND GREEK COPY TRIANGLE IN AFRICA
Not African culture, just Nigeria 😅
@@griphnr 🧢🧢🧢. Almost all Bantu. Even West Africa huts 🛖
@@antonymwangi4986 Maybe West African thing, I live in East Africa and we don’t build houses like that

Please do a real estate video in Lagos Nigeria (lekki,ajah,ikoyi or banana island)
will take a look
Mc mansion hell
@@ArvinHaddadOfficiallol Nigerian architecture/engineering is so bad most of the time smh
This one doesn’t have his own video,just a sliding some one video
Thank you Arvin! I’m Nigerian real estate construction agent. I hope to see more videos of yours about my country and one day you criticize and let me know your opinions about my building and architectural designs too 😊
Architecture inspired by the Coneheads movie. Or, actual extraterrestrials. 👀
You're old !
Arvin I really appreciate your stepping in for these people by relating about your own culture. Western architecture, style, and taste has gone through a few thousand years of refinement so of course when it's used by another culture it's botched. The same thing happened to Europe when they discovered the wonders of China. 1600's european chinoiserie looks very pretty to western eyes but the Chinese know how ridiculous it is.
The air conditioning is not wall mount as you presume. It is actually centrally controlled.
They are working on the house. It is still new
The first house has no trees!!!🤯. With that much land they could have a horse range.
Neither garden...... The house with no soul 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
We used to have the culture of welcoming family members coming home to the village. But that is if you are a good person with a good heart for your extended family. We remember family. So building a house for your extended family to stay is noble and kind. But we are losing it now. The Western culture is eroding our family values and way of life in Africa not just in Nigeria. So sad.
Interesting thanks for sharing
For a moment there with the guard tower and rifles, I thought this was in Texas
Ya or a zombie movie
I graduated BHHS in 1977 and the Persians were not in great numbers yet, but my nieces also went there more recently and the population distribution is much different now. I really notice the new columns in our 1920’s Spanish style houses on LaPeer Drive.
The Oyibo is making a biased judgement without proper inquiry directly from our indigenous engineers , we never borrowed high roof building from anywhere, is part of indigenous style of building, the high roof help to absorb heat during hot weather, we are prone to hot weather because of climate, but if doubts me just stay under a flat roof building during hot afternoon and do the research yourself, you actually understand why we build houses with high roof , our forebears under this better and there is no difference from their styles of roofing from our modern roofing
He was referring to the COLUMNS as Greek style as they most definitely are. Get off your high horse and racism.
Hey man new subscriber here. As an architect here in Philippines, I learn something new to your critic videos that gives insightful information to inspire and educate the viewers on what it should be done and deliver on architecture. Cheers! Looking forward for more!
well done Arvin you inspire me. please critic more NIgerian house like wigwe's house .... keep soaring man
Our mud houses in the 18 century had high roofs. It’s not the Greek style
There are literally greek columns under the triangular roof, that's when he said they were inspired by greek style - not referring to the high roofs
I'm afraid to say anything.
Hahahaha
Lol
LMAO.......🐴
Best decision. Even the Bey Hives wouldn't dare
Won't mention about that wife huh 😅
Thinking about what the ancient civilisations built 🤔 It’s really nice when heritage of the country is incorporated - as in the work of the Iranian architect. So much to draw from
The high roof style is popular in southwest Louisiana. I don't know if it's a status symbol there. It's just the style of higher end homes in small towns and rural areas.
Can you share an address would love. To study it
High roofs are for cooling effect as its often hot during 'dry season' or summer in Nigeria. Its cooler during rainy season
Did you guys play The Sims (the first one) when you were young? Because I feel like the red shirt guy architect did and was and only using the high roof configuration which look exactly like we see here. Way too high and the black was the option by default. I swear its identical.
I'm no roof expert but....I don't see a single air vent in an of these roofs!
Nigerian houses typically don't have air vents or chimneys. Be it the north south or eastern people, it's just a Nigerian thing. Even in Nikon town, maitama or banana island (wealthiest neighbourhoods in Nigeria)a very tiny percentage have chimneys or air vents
@@thatoneguywholovesthena-4529 chimneys in Nigerian homes? For what purpose? Chimneys are for a specific purpose, to let smoke out of homes while burning wood to heat homes during winter; we don't need to heat our homes cos no extreme winters here, except maybe in Jos and other parts of Plateau state and some mountainous areas in Taraba and Adamawa states
@@blackoralArt that isn't the only use of a chimney though. "The primary function of the chimney is to direct the smoke away from the stove and out of the house"
@@thatoneguywholovesthena-4529we have fume extractors in our kitchens
@@thatoneguywholovesthena-4529we have heat extractors for that.
By the way this is a village not a town or city
Yes when u think about it’s actually not bad for a village
Arvin I love the consistency! Great Job!
Thanks pal
The observations are absolutely apt. Give it a decade and the structures start looking ridiculous.
ya its not gonna age well
Wrong. Travel Abita, go to Nigeria and take a look at mansions hundreds of years old.
I would explain the roof height as being inspired by ancient grass thatched roofs that had to be steep to let water run off easily.
Isn't high roof means more natural cooling system for the house? I'm from tropical country (Indonesia) exactly in Equator, this is what we do, especially in old houses or our traditional house
It is but you could see the bias from Mr content creator . If you speak they would say you correct them on everything .
You have never been to a place to view the property but you are criticizing it , i would like to see his house.
@@martinsgates1141 that'a one ugly ass house, such tall roofs are absolutely not neccessary for cooling, that's purely aesthetic, and it looks ugly af
The Nigerian houses look ugly from outside and some both interior and exterior, it’s a total waste of space . The roof , furniture , kitchen fittings , few plants are just a few things wrong about these homes
Good thing it's not your money 👍🏾
Btw , where can I go to see the one you built?
Nice critique.. they need to wake up
This was a great video 🏆
It looks like a military compound
I cracked up laughing about this statement
as a 9jar I love your videos. I think your observations will make us better in our buildings structure.. we mostly look how big and beautiful the houses are not the details.😅.
Wo leave I would pick naija houses a hundred times more...can't wait to go back the houses are too small abroad
When 9ja get R for ending...dey lie we no sabi u for our country 😂
@@victor_idhiarhi😂😂
If these guys show u his house I bet there will be a lot of flaws too and people will still criticize it. Ppl do what suits you and don't live your life according to somebody's taste.
The whole video was just trolling and embarrassment . Imagine you telling a man how to build his own home .Talking about the culture of a place he has never visited .
@@martinsgates1141 yeah i loved the mentions in the us because he seemed knowledgable about the market and tastes of the different states and what goes well. but he was completely out of place and lost on this one. i cannot imagine myself criticizing another culture s house because it is shaped by their history and climate. yup pretty embarassing
@@mouhalo The sickest part is this homes are in the rural village not the cities or urban areas . It was the condescending tone for me that put me off.
nailed the editing this time
Thanks pal getting better
They have to have armed security in that area with their wealth vs the surrounding. Seems like the entire property is setup from a security standpoint. Thats why i think the house is so small compared to the property
Arvin, you’re bound to get a million subs very soon. Keep it up!
We had always had high roofs cause Nigeria is so oo hot, it’s worst in the east they don’t even have water you literally have to dig and dig to get water up, then about the Miele appliances they literally have a branch/office in Nigeria Lagos to be precise.
Its all about exposure. I have actually been through hell trying to build my place with my own plan, a bit of brutalism, minimalist and modern contemporary but most often, the builders will force or push their own designs simply because that's what everyone is doing. Its copy and past, you will be the odd one out if you do something else. 😂
🎯
Heat rises, so maybe having a huge area above the home allows the lower level to stay cool?
No. The roof is black and exposes an enormous amount of surface to the sun. The heat from the lower levels can‘t rise upwards because it‘s already hot there as hell.
What u must realize is that nigerians sacrifice not building car garages....for a bigger home...
also surrounded by dirt roads……very chic! 😂
These are village homes; many towns and cities have better architecture with beautiful landscaping eg mansions in Abuja and other cities will wow you so dont generalise that this is Nigerian standard just from watching one video.
Nigeria is very diverse, styles varies from region to region, state to state
What is wrong with the houses. Absolutely nothing. They are beautiful. We don't always have to listen or go by standards of the west
@@lauraokoro3888 It is the audacity for me . If the man is bold he should show us his house , I am 100% sure there are things that will displease me .

@@ArvinHaddadOfficialYou ain't got no love for anything. Nothing at all. You have no say and no right
@@amandakalu2601what's your problem
... not all Nigerians show off.
How do you know this?
Interior, exterior and landscaping is so painful. Not to mention just basic functionality. It doesn't seem like these houses have ac and other basics down.
The man should read up history of Nigerian architecture over the years
I have a home for you to review next. You'll be amazed by this I promise you.
This house is probably the biggest sin that was ever created by a residential architect. Oh man you are in for a treat. Watch the video 'Touring a $30M Ultra Modern Desert Mansion' by Ryan Serhant.
Will take a look
From the beginning it said it’s in the village and they don’t live there, those empty compound will be used as later as the wife said.
They won’t be needing pool But they should have at least indoor pool.
My problems with the house owners is why build such a private building in a very large landmass when u can build a public housing and get back the value of their property over the time, while living it when they get back
it baffles me when people think things are borrowed from others.
Note Arvin that you are wrong for saying it is the Nigerian standard. How many Nigerians houses have you seen. Come to my little house and see style. You will not want to leave and the coziness will make you fall asleep. I love trees and like to do some gardening too.
Awesome … we’ll the standards in the village
@@ArvinHaddadOfficial please continue the critic. We need it, all over the world. I am going to subscribe to your channel now.
These houses are like the things that DJ Khalid owns - you can tell they are expensive, but they don't inspire envy.
I think the houses look nice tho, I've seen more ugly mansions in LA, but this is kinda okay, at least this is not generic white boxes buildings.
The only critics I would give is probably not enough plants, pristine gardens with green plants and colorful flowers.
This video was therapy
why
@@martinsgates1141 I thought I was the only person that noticed idiot architecture found out we are many is therapeutic.
Anyone else see a parallel between Arvin’s hair and these roofs? Those of us who are balding certainly do.
Firstly; High roofing is not a "Nigerian" standard, that's like saying a contemporary Texan Architecture is the American Standard (By the way, an American state in which i've seen quite a number of high roofs). Anyway, it's more of a South Eastern Nigerian Architectural preference than a "Nigerian" one.
Secondly, those high roofs actually serve a decent purpose towards keeping the rooms a bit cooler; you don't want to be in a low ceiling, very low roof home when it's like 34°C and there's no Electricity, then you'd understand why you need to make the roof and ceiling high enough to conserve more of the heat to those areas.
Thirdly, Architectural preferences in the first place are not even meant to be a unitary preference all over the world; in certain regions, it can even be culturally influenced in some instances. I would say though that the one thing that annoys me about large Nigerian buildings is the extreme lack of trees, especially given our hot climate.
Pyramids is an Africa thing and the high roof help reduce heat. Africa is hot.
Your analysis are really interesting...I am learning ❤
You preview is wonderful 😂
thanks man
they visit the homeland each year and meditate in their pyramid power super structure, manifesting a brighter future for nigeria
Sharing your wealth is actually really bad for communities. You want people to work hard and make life good for themselves. Like with the American Dream. Furthermore you want wealthy people to create more business and make investments, to become more wealthy themselves, but also lift the community to higher economic levels. But when you have to waste all money on your village, then you will just spend all money and it will leave your community forever.
If I lived in Nigeria and became wealthy, my first purchase would be a one way plane ticket.
WHY are there spot lights on the curtains?!?!?!
This region is the south Eastern region of Nigeria also known as Igboland. It is inhabited mainly by Igbo speaking people. The houses are beautiful and serve as apart of our culture.
They look exactly like the Monopoly game house pieces.
Planting in rural areas is redundant. We’re already surrounded by nature and vegetation.
Bro all architecture in the world can't be the same as what you have in the west
We have different climates
People have different wants and needs they won't waste money on unilities they don't need
The proportions are not wack they're unique
Maybe i'm crazy but I think these roofs are inspired by pryamids. Infact Nigeria actually has like 10 pryamids. There's no way those shapes and all the colums, plus the signifgance of height meaning wealth just happened. There's likely an unspoken cultural component there not aware of.
" No Vegetable Garden "...lol.....❤
