OP is definitely on one of those twin tower high rises, near the Dome. Not exactly a nice view though because the area is under construction anyway.

Op did you take this pic on a Sunday morning? See how the roads are deserted.

Really discouraging, Abuja of all places? Nigeria can't compete at all, we have a long way to go.

Haba.
This is a satellite town of Abuja just like the OP stated.
This is not the main Abuja City.


Marry ur dictionary

Amazing view. Sweet Abuja, how I love that city. Very peaceful and quiet unlike Lagos, a very lousy city.,

The Central Business District is actually in the Abuja metropolis as well. It isn't a satellite town.

Onli someone who hasn't visited Abuja would say Lagos is better than ABJ.
Make Una no d spill trash for here. No hard feelings lagosians buh Lagos city can never be compared with ABJ.

I can identify al buildings there @ day. U r standing on 1st floor of word trade center, I can also site church gate, I can very well c nicon insurance, I c CBN n also very well c NNPC tower, central church, central mosq.

First off, you picked the wrong part of town to take a night skyline image of. Second, you have not used proper photographic methods in capturing the night time images.

People often think photography is just the act of clicking a shutter.

What ISO settings did you use? What shutter speed was used? If you can't answer, then you wouldn't be able to capture that wallpaper looking image you were hoping for.

besides op took a picture of a place under construction.

go to the likes of Force headquarters, Secretariat, head of service, ministry of finance, Sheraton, eagle square, War college, CBN,NNPC towers etc and behold the beauty of Abuja not a place under construction.

This pic doesn't portray Abuja city actually. This is just pictures from Constitution avenue. For those criticising Abuja, maybe OP should take pics from Asokoro, Aso drive, Maitama, Wuse 2, amongst other places

There simply isn't enough light in the pic due to the epileptic electric power of the country. It has nothing to do with ISO settings, shutter speed, etc.
The attached pictures were taken without applying any photography skills.

YourNemesis:
Abuja still has more of the "Big town" feel than a city feel.
Lagos is the only place in Nigeria that actually looks and feels like a real Global city.

Culturally speaking, Abuja doesn't even pull any weight, and has no real defining character.... So bleh.

have u been to abj before?

Have you been to Accra or even Johannesburg??....Just Negodu!

NaLaugh:

Like the name suggest is a business area most places around there are under construction.

mikron:
have u been to abj before?

Ask him.

op sounds bias, first u took a photo of a newly developing area just behind the NNPC mega station in the churchgate area of central area and judge with that? besides we all know the epileptic power situation in the country so u will not expect most offices to leave their lights on in the night when they are not working, granted Abuja is still developing (the fastest developing city in the world) so comparing the night life feel with a place like Lagos (the commercial capital) is a no no for me. u want a good night scene why not go to the federal secretariat, maitama around transcorp Hilton, zone 4 around Sheraton and towers, ministers hill etc areas of abuja to capture good scenes? there u will see the beauty of Abuja even at night not these scanty environment u want us to see.

False.

Certainly, Nigeria's power problems aren't arguable. I lived in Nigeria a long time ago, so I know.
However, the power issue has very little to do with this particular case. It has everything to do with proper night time photography technique.

I'll give you a personal example. About 7 or 8 years ago, I took the dark, blurry image below with a DSLR camera at night, for a college photography class.
I parked on the overpass, put my hazard lights on, and attempted a quick shot of the Boston skyline.

Safe to say that attempt failed woefully. Why? Because I knew little about proper image capture at the time, and my settings were bad. It doesn't mean Boston has a power problem.

The bad pic is my failed attempt, and the second is someone else' image of the same place, from the same place, at night. I hope my statement makes more sense now.

I'm not impressed with this pic buhh u can't compare abj with lag na abuja is top notch lag is overrated

kings09:
Lag make sense pass Abj by far. But if dis is our capital city then our leaders shld cover their faces in shame.

which lagos make sense pass abuja? Maybe the one in america and not the lagos of nigeria. Travel out a little pls

Lolz i wonder oh.. Me self live in Abuja even Karimo fine pass all this photo wey dem dey post...
The Op need deliverance... Like seriously

englishmart:
these picture were taken on the same day.
I just got this inspiration and decided to take pictures of a well known location in Abuja both at night and day.
The location is Constitution avenue /Central Business District and its environs

Day pictures were taken at 12:45pm
Night pictures were at 8:15 pm

Pictures were taken from the penthouse level of one of the tallest buildings in the FCT

Your camera pixel ain't good enough, those night pictures would have been better, the last time I passed through the road between CBN and Central church, the views were awesome

You are OYO o, though I have never been to Lagos but I hear amazing things happens there, Abuja is just Career Oriented, everything nah serious serious...

XaintJoel20:
Some people will still have the gut to compare this 'slum' to major cities in the world...

[size=15pt]The slum of all the major cities in developed countries and most developing countries have steady power supply.
This is 2016; most progressive thinking countries have sorted out their power supply issues[/size]

See as nigwria capital be like cambodia capital


Very local
