Why Do Affluent Areas In Nigeria Do This? by Raydos: 2:40pm On Sep 12, 2023 |
Why are Most buildings in Nigeria especially commercial towers fenced off? From the Downtown of Lagos, To The most Affluent areas of Abuja, They all have something in Common, All the Skyscrapers are all fenced off and not open to the public! This make the city look ugly, In modern society, Skyscrapers down floors are rented out for restaurant, Boutiques, e.t.c, Which makes window-shopping possible!

There are some streets that you can't even take a walk at night, all because most of the buildings in the street has been fenced off, Before 8pm in the night, It will look like a ghost town!! But by renting out the down floors of those buildings to restaurant and boutique e.t.c, It will make it more lively at night time! 126 Likes 11 Shares

I know most corporate Bodies like to fence off their buildings for security reason, But with a CCTV camera placed at every corners of the street, security issues will be curbed to some extent And besides, if down floors are rented out, There will be so much activities in the streets at night which will some how curb security issues to some extent too, it's easy to steal in a lonely street at night than a lively street with people everywhere!! 152 Likes 8 Shares

The mindset matters. Right from the projects conceptualization. Having supermarket and shopping centres infused into skyscrapers is a way to beautify the city. Attract people to the building and get secondary and tertiary funds for the building's maintenance and the likes. The also clime matters too, but for me I'll say Nigerian rich and affluent likes to keep people off. If you think otherwise, how many of your friends who made it before you chose not to de-friend you. Let's start from here. 143 Likes 15 Shares |

This is how modern society look like, I watch a video of a foreign YouTuber recently, who complained about this in his first ever visit to Nigeria! He was so surprised, every building is fenced off! Window shopping makes street look beautiful, Affluent areas can afford all the security to keep this place safe, at night, But it seems like they just don't give a damn, They all okay with their sub-standard tower! 48 Likes 4 Shares

Fence is for security. Even shopping malls are fenced. With fence, security can see any bagger trying to get in illegally. Without fence, security will be at disadvantage. Forget talk, Nigeria is not safe especially at night 139 Likes 16 Shares |

Imagine renting the down floor out to restaurants as you opined. That's a good place for angry jihadists to drive in trucks and bring down the whole building in protest to a perceived jewish guy who farted in front of a holy tree in Saudi Arabia. 146 Likes 20 Shares |

The thing is Black people don't trust themselves... If they use those ground floor for business and window shopping...a fight might just come up especially when there's a power outage and the things might be vandalized... 12 Likes 3 Shares |

Chei.. God in heaven. These ones really think they have a country. Security becomes your number one concern when over 75% of your citizens have been pauperised through deliberate means of the ruling class. Think of the fortified castles built by nobles and Kings of old Europe. This is what is happening in Nigeria. If they try what you're saying, all those shops/boutiques and whatever in there will suffer heavy attacks from armed robbers. 36 Likes 1 Share |
