Flaws Exposed: Nigerian Mansion Tour disaster | ROOF FLEX?

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.

[@fistandpen2505]

don't mind the nama. talking out of his pie hole lol

[@mekuscpekus]

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.

[@tiktoksshortvideoswithaolu84]

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.

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. 😊

[@ladybistre9596]

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.

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.

[@Comegetyourdose131]

[@derekmiles767]

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.

[@haguiyi]

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

[@Omenastudios]

Nigeria didnt borrow high roof styles from Romans or Greeks, its a modernised form of architecture of our ancestors who often built their homes with high roof for ventilation and cooling of the homes during hot weather. Those homes with high ceilings are often cool during hot weather so you dont even need air conditioning most of the time so it saves energy Our forefathers homes were often built with mud slabs which are quite innovative bcos they helped to keep the house cool during hot weather and warm during cold weather. They were eco friendly too as our forbears cared a lot about the environment unlike we their descendents who are more destructive unfortunately. Next time do proper research on local customs before reacting to videos bcos a lot of your observations are borne out of ignorance of traditional customs of the local people

[@victorsolomon-vr7wl]

Exactly

[@annonymously331]

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

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.

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

[@victorsealey3486]

I noticed these mansions have no enclosed gararge

[@pascalagu7928]

Don't be surprised about anything... Nigerians have got some of the best buildings

[@ArvinHaddadOfficial]

This is in a vilage ... in lagos and the capital you find much nicer buildings

I lost it when his wife said "This Is Very Large" 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@memesmark1]

They duel so much on heights than in astetics and comfort. Nothing but show off. Very vague taste

[@Hen2471]

What happen with the street 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

[@mikeoze]

The IGBOs are the most hard working people so they deserve the best

[@user-zu6kf1xo5m]

In the united states,are all length and breadth the same? If you don't know what to talk about,make more inquiries

[@karozimathestar929]

Unless they are expecting snow in near future ( probably the vodu predicted for snow future 😂😂😂😂)

Pyramids is an Africa thing and the high roof help reduce heat. Africa is hot.

[@everymanisyourteacher9951]

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. 😂

[@gelmibson883]

So the heritage of Arabic culzure transported in modern architecture is square? Straight lines? Postmodernism? Puzzleinterlockings? . . Rrtright

[@patecar20]

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.

Oyibo, be quiet, must we like what you like? We build our mansions with our money the way we like.

[@barbarasara4033]

And y'all still poor

[@Kiki-en9vm]

First they have to do this type of building and then their type.

[@techeepeach1197]

Oh wow! Those curtains, that staircase, the massive grounds with no greenery or pool, or anything else, just all around was too funny!!!! Loved your commentary!

[@martinsgates1141]

If you have seen a village you would know why none of that is necessary .

[@Speedy300]

If the houses were wider, they would have been more beautiful.

[@kshenriques]

It looks like its expensive to live in Africa. It's worth it though if you can afford it 🙏🏾

[@victorsolomon-vr7wl]

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

[@ifeoma_amaechi]

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.

[@kingsleyodu9796]

Watching from Nigeria 😂😂😂

[@ArvinHaddadOfficial]

Thanks for the support

[@lvbadboy]

So funny he brought up Iranians living in Los Angeles because the Iranian mansion is definitely a thing there but it also was the kick off of the anti-McMansion city ordinance

[@Rachietutu]

When I lived in Beverly Hills in the 90s we called them "Persian Palaces."
