Abiriba - A village where billionaires are born. 

simon would you be able to narrate?

@@fistandpen2505 yes I can do that. Email me lets talk more

Where are you based and how much do you charge?

@@AAED-NPO I stay in uyo, Akwa ibom. Pls send me an email or still dm Instagram @walkwithsimon

The village does not need any tourists please . they already have their money and want to remain natural.

Yes bró

Please abiriba is in abia or Anambra

@BlessingAugustine-ls5lw it's in abia state

That's exactly what the place needs

Anambra also has good houses

You can say that again bro

​@@walkwithsimonbut can't be compared

IGBO AMAKA...

Pls stop. We are one. We learn from each other..

Amen!!!

Thanks much sir

Africa is blessed

100% village! Their houses are owned by the indigene of that village. Igbo people don't build houses in other people's villages because no indigenes rent an apartment to live in their villages, if they don't have to get free from family members. I was laughing myself off when he said come buy land there, right away I knew he knew nothing about Igbo culture and people.

Abiriba are blessed people

Tell us your home town

Who would play on the playground? These days, there are hardly any people in these villages because their families are resident in cities. They also hardly return and stay home cos of the security situations.

​@@13thghost42say what you know

@@user-tt3hb6xf6t read again for more information. This time, read slowly.

They do have. This area he shown is the worst side of abariba.

​@@13thghost42you will surprise, visit there in one of festivals or Christmas season everywhere is jammed. They are one the most cultured people in the world. An abriba kid birn abroad knows their culture, their parents take them home for age grade fraternity and festival. They jniw their roots and don't leave it.

Your always welcomed sir🙌🙌

❤

That's a good and lofty aspiration...but don't forget that as you grow older, you may have many health challenges and will need excellent health care if you are not to succumb to your ailments and frailties. Ask yourself, how many standardized health care facilities do we have in the rural areas in Nigeria? The nearby cities are not faring any better...besides, most health care personnel, myself included, and even those of Abriba origin, have all emigrated abroad these days...that is my biggest concern personally...You may still need to be flown out for care every time you fall ill....let it not come to you as a surprise that most of the owners of those houses you see, have no real intentions of living there permanently for extended periods of time. Those structures serves as their holiday home, and family home for their less privileged family members and older parents...at least, that is my personal story😊

@crackerjack4989 one of things we Africans or blacks have forgotten to do is by living by nature and herbal treatment. Western medicines are good but the side effects are very deadly. Food is health so what goes in matters. My gran was 120yrs before she died, my dad was about 90yrs too. There is a lot of strange sicknesses here in the western world and its not good for blacks esp we lack son which help us with our bones.

​@@blackentrepreneur8564 well said my nwanne. There is no big deal here in western countries, many of us regretted coming. Food is wealth my bro. COVID really exposed the west.

We said bro🙌🙌

Abiriba is blessed

Kaa kwanu,nwanne.

Very true sir, we expect more from Abia state

They are blessed

Very few people live there. Did you see anybody on the streets? But the caption is right. It is a very beautiful village.

Abiriba is blessed👌

What is so special here I don't see any development here

You are jealous

Talk truth .. development full

Abiriba is not beautiful when you see it on video,what you just saw is sight,when you get there you will then see how magnificent. Abiriba is,

You sick will have nice house in Yoruba language try go Lagos and sick

Start with your village. You want flowers on empty lands, right? Show your village. Not-do well like to give unsolicited advice and why?

@@thetruth6396 You ask why? I' ll tell you the "truth" !!! Because without any of that Abiriba would remain a village!

Abiriba has two general hospital a library,post office,two stadium,so many secondary and primary schools all built by the age greads I think Abiriba need a park for relaxing that is what is lacking

@@aframaco9491 did they tell you they want to be a town? Village is fir relaxation and family reunions

@@thetruth6396 If we check am wellu wellu, you are not from Abiriba sef! Abroko people dem, never want development !

Sure it is

Then u are yet to visit igbere in same abia.That one should compete fine with abiriba but only that abiriba houses are bigger but igbere roads and layouts are de best in east

Every village still has rich and poor people😂😂

Madam every state have poor indigenes What state are you from plss Just want to know

There are poor and homeless people in London and America too.

@@walkwithsimon Even United states and Europe has poor people in their land today. Those rich men you see in Igbo land are one-time poor people. None of them was born with silver spoon. Example, one of the richest Billionaire in Nnewi/Igbo land COSCHARIS GROUP OF COMPANIES while growing up as a small boy he used to be a street hawker selling Akara and Akamu for his widowed mother early in the morning before going to his elementary school class every day. He also engages himself in hired laborer like cutting of palm fruits from a tall palm tree (OTE-NKWU) including helping the brick layers by mixing concrete and sand for brick layers in a construction site just to make some money to help his widowed mother at his early age before he managed to finish his elementary 6 class and move to the bigger cities for greener pasture as a servant boy to his master. The rest is history.

Thanks much sir🙌

​​@@walkwithsimon very beautiful but why so many high walls and barbed wire ? Do they have shops, banks, gas stations and other commercial activities?

🤗🤗

Very true bro...very industrious people. Mostly merchants in the used clothing and stock fish trade way back when...and they made it big and are still making it...these days, you have some new e money in the mix too!...I remember them going home to their homeland from Lagos, every December, in the 70's as a kid.

You mean they stole money early.

​@@pixpushathey are not into government nor Yahoo nonsense. They introduced okirika, stock fish and merchandise in Nigeria.

The actually built a nursing school there.

@@walkwithsimon Great houses however they should spend money to fix the horrible roads! This will add more value to their mega properties!

Unity of purpose is key.

​@@NathanKwadadetheir roads are not horrible except where buildings are still under construction , and remember the roads are peeved by the villagers,no govt. assistance.

Umuahia is a village compare to abriba

Igbo land is blessed

Drug lords🙄

@@sinasanusi5317stop he jealous

​@sinasanusi5317 Yes, they are drug lords who specialise in medication to help you treat your madness and jealousy.

Your always welcomed sir

Thanks sir❤

You are blessed

You think so

@@walkwithsimon yes I do

I will not doubt it. A family friend from Jamaica was building a big mansion when he suddenly died from accident

Yes I thought the same but couldn’t be Jamaica because we don’t know how to help our fellow man and even when we do it’s still not a good process, we have a lot to learn when it comes to this

@@pauladavis7205 never say never.

You're welcome sir❤️

It is very beautiful as it is....

Igbho's are like the Kwehus

​@@Kwamebusangayou got it wrong. They are like igbos not the other way round pls.

Obó has beautiful landscape but doesn't come any way near Abiriba in terms of building good structures,come to Abiriba and be dumbfounded

Show us that place lets see how it looks the same we hate liars here.

True fact 👌

Thanks much dear

Your noticed sir❤

❤

That's the truth

Abiriba is blessed

Everything is a process

Good advice. Be the pacesetter.

Why would a person want to turn their hometown into a resort? These are private homes.

All these mentioned they are doing that

@@pixpusha not a person - that's the individualistic mindset I'm referring to. governing stakeholders should have a broader vision of the community. The resort would not be inside the home, I thought that would be obvious.

Abiriba is blessed❤️

Your home is blessed

That's why I love my country Nigeria

We agree!

This a village not a city. Did you see any car on any road there?

Think of your own rural village and understand that here's not a city, not even a local government headquarters.

Will surely do so

Oguta is a beautiful town too

Fatty lies! Most of them are entrepreneurs doing business in Nigeria and beyond. Most of their richest people are Nigeria based.

False. Most of the owners of those mansions live in Nigeria.

Which people living abroad? You have no idea. The real mansions were built by those Businessmen in Nigeria.

Shopping mall in a rural village? They are all building on their ancestral land . nobody there is a visitor.

@@OlierOnah guess they don’t need shops🤷‍♀️..Don’t really care whichever way🤷‍♀️😂

They have developed roads

Moreover that is federal or state government job. They can only help

​Correct

Do you have a village? Doesn't it has a better road networks than they? Jow much have you developed yours? The area he shown is not the best of abriba.

Abiriba have developed road constructed by them desperate it's the work of federal government but we still do our best

Abiriba is blessed

It was Zik who nicknamed Abiriba, not Ojukwu

Nnamdi Azikiwe not ojukwu

Igbo bu Igbo - said Ojukwu when he visited Abiriba and saw their rich culture. It was Zik that called Abiriba small london

The road are tarred not just in all areas.

How many village roads are tarred in Nigeria? Maybe 1%.

Most of these big men don't stay in the village and these village has two side, where most people live and the other where there are big and fine houses but most of them stay aboard

@@walkwithsimon You are very correct in your assessment. Most of them actually stay abroad where, I might add, they also have humongous edifices like these too...the village only come to life during the Christmas period when most people return for the Christmas holidays as they are mostly Christians. Then you can see a lot of people and luxury cars in the village. This is not peculiar to this community. It is the same in most communities in the Eastern parts of the Country. Another time when the village comes to life is when they celebrate their traditional ceremonies and events...cheers!

@@crackerjack4989 well said my brother. Thanks for taking your time to comment on our video.🙌

@@walkwithsimon You are very welcome...Shalom!

It's going to spoil the name called village

Bitter soul which one did you or your ancestors vuild

You are wise, I am a truck driver here in USA, I have seen almost all parts of the country, all I see here is ppl using country-side land for agriculture which provide jobs for the rural people and food for everyone both for the villagers and ppl living in the big cities, not building useless ghost houses that either the owner nor villagers will ever live in

calister you belong to the dark ages. It is your species who can't accept criticism.

They have good roads

Keep deluding urself, Igbere is beautiful too but don't dream of that comparison, we are happy for all our sister community around us doing well too, that's the igbo spirit

@@Emetex abiriba have more bigger houses but igbere is well planned, better roads, neat and also have many good houses but surely not as big as abiriba.I don't think any village is well planned like igbere with layout

@egwusimeon3190 That's your opinion, Igbere doesn't have a single drone shot on RU-vid, not even in a private blog, technology is not your mate, take a drone shot and you will admire the ingenuity of Abiriba more. OUK tried to revamp Igbere, but culture triumphs individuality.

@@Emetex igbere doesn't have dat bcux of low publicity like abiriba that have been know for years and igbere development it's hidden bcux it's not along the road so people don't really know wat it looks like.Ouk and his people have tried so much to give igbere the name and they don't really care about the publicity.Abiriba have more wealthy men than igbere but I still give igbere the title of the best planned village

@egwusimeon3190 That's ur opinion, I am happy for Igbere, we all share in the same beliefs, no competition, and no shame in having someone better, a Prosperous Igbere is good for Abiriba vice versa 😊 Kaa

True sir

Noisy , jealous and egoistic people indeed
