VILLAGE MANSION TOUR! Why do Igbos waste money on building village houses?! 

My sis I luv ur content...much luv

You already know you will be insulted. Anyway I have forgiven you but take note it is not a waste because we once started from village and our village is precious to us so deserves the best. It is called Aku ruo ulo.. If you see my village mansion you go shout yet I'm living in Asia and that house brings respect to me in the village.

@@amaranwaiwu682 thanks sis

@@RealityStand there is no reason for me to be insulted. Anyone insulting me obviously didn't watch the video completely. Cos even the Aku ruo ulo you just typed, was mentioned in this video

Nwanyi oma kedu ka imere please have you married?

I agree that it is important to invest in your village. That is what we should do. However I respectfully submit that your comparison between Americans and their vacation homes and our homes in the village misses a very important point: INCOME GENERATION and RESALE. Vacation homes in most other places can generally go on Airbnb when not in use so the owners can make money. Also, they can resell the home if or when they choose. That is not really the case in our villages, many of which don't have consistent electricity, adequate Healthcare or amenities and thus are not vacation options. Our homes are our permanent ties to our land.

This is another valid reason too

@@dera_giselle I can tell you that at a certain age, most owners of those houses won't be able to walk up the flight of steps up stair conveniently. And I know for a fact that those of them who live abroad are not likely to return home definitely anytime soon to live in their houses. Furthermore, most children born and being raised abroad tend not to be much interested in "country homes", that's if they are interested in returning home at all. A modest well-built house is better than building a mansion for rodents and reptiles....or even village petty thieves.

@@Nadel60 They can live on the ground floor, people in village are actually more healthy, so they will be around 100plus years before they wont

@@nenitafrica6851 🤣🤣🤣🤣jokes

For those close to an urban centre its a good idea..for those abroad..nobody is coming back to live anywhere..we have no healthcare..when they get old they will live abroad or in an urban centre where they can get access to a good hospital..until we have electricity and good amenities in villages..few will ever return to live in the village..and will bank on their city properties for rental income as the village house cannot generate much income..its good for personal development..ego..the comfort of a resting place..weddings and funerals and other village festivities..

Exactly...people want to come back home to a comfortable mansion. We come back once or twice a year and the feeling is always amazing..🕺🏿

Those days are gone. Where's the comfort and security with all the killings, poisoning and kidnappings? People living in abroad are scared to visit home these days.

@@cyriacusduru2312 you have a point but people didn't see all these crisis coming, that's part of life, anything can happen anytime. BTW I don't just support building mansions, I support building them when your business is rock solid..

Unfortunately it doesn't help infrastructure or beautifying the village when the homes fall into disrepair due to neglect or lack of use. Our climate is warm and humid and our homes need to be aired out frequently and be lived in to reduce mold and infestation. Sure they're big and fancy for those few weeks while we are there but I posit that the infrastructure improvement begins with adequate power, Healthcare in close proximity, schools and fewer bandits, thieved and touts. The last time I was back home in 2019 the kidnappings were particularly bad. I'm going back in Feb and pray the situation has improved.

That makes zero sense.

Exactly

Its not waste but people with such mansions should as well have businesses because businesses build communities not houses.

And you are bearing my native ibo name MBA

Hmmmm! Let’s wait for the video to premiere before we decide😁

@Dovelina Sanchez Now that the video has premiered, have you been able to see the point I made?😊

@@dera_giselle yes I have! I also insist we need to develop our own instead of settling and building other ppl’s land‼️ Great video!

You're saying the same thing with me😊 I gave reasons why it's not a bad idea to build mansions in the village

Who own Lagos or Abuja, does any tribe built those places, they were all built by FG, and those places Igbo made a huge contribution

Dont tell us wat to do MUGU, how many factories n companies does almageris have, igbos has develop many places in nigeria n ur here talking about factories

Thank you so much 🙏

I like your thought

exactly that is the problem with naija, nice houses but bad road..

Great idea

It doesn't matter where you're buried. The dead don't live in houses. You build your best house where you will retire and spend your old age. It's also smart to build in your village in case there is another ethnic war where you live. You have a home to retreat to and something for your children to inherit if you lose everything you have in other parts of the country.

Justza question, if husband dies nd is buried in the house ground can the wife remarry nd continue living with new husband in the house where her late husband is buried??. X u

@@tombimashri8149 it doesn’t matter if the man is buried there or not. While there’s no law against that, the entire village will be against it. The house is to continue the linage of the man, not to house a stranger. Also, the children of the new man will not be accepted as members of that family/village.

@@tombimashri8149: We have culture. If the man died and has a male child automatically the first male child becomes the father so there is not need for the woman to remarry but can have a boyfriend but if she decided to marry then she will never ever bring the new gold-digger-man to inherit the house of the first husband. The house belongs to the first born of the woman. If her children are only girls before the husband died, it is normal for her boyfriend to pregnant her and she will give birth to male in the house and the male will inherent the house. As long as the money paid on her head is not refunded she remains the wife of the dead man so it doesn't matter who pregnanted her the child belongs to the dead man. She may adopt male child or she can marry another woman (not lesbian marriage) the new woman will be married in the name of the dead husband, the main target is to bring a male child to bear the name of the dead husband and inherit the property. It is also right if she marry a woman who has young children without husband (meaning a woman who got pregnant without marriage and no man claimed responsibility) so once she is married, the children automatically got adopted into the family and takes the name of the late husband and the first male child will inherit the property of the man at last when the big mother died. All the female children has no right to inherit their father's house because their right is in their husband's house so they are expectrd to marry and go to their husband and build a home.

@@jiksawo08: The children of the woman's boyfriend will be accepted if the late husband doesn't have male child before death and the woman was desperately in need of male child or else the late husband's property will be inherited by the late husband's brother. If she wants to leave the family of the late husband completely and start new life by getting married to a new man then first thing is to refund the *diary paid on her head, if not whatever children she have with the new man remains the children of the late husband and must bear the name of the late husband.

Yes oh

Yes oh I'm so proud of Igbo people 🥰 those village mansions always give me joy. It's good we learnt our lessons

You are so beautiful

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Exactly 💯

@@dera_giselle Igbos were building in villages to compete with themselves since the time of the British. It is not because of war they build, but to compete with others for local respect

Money is not an Igbo man problem that is when you will no that man pass man.

Yes oh

Gbagamest

Thank you so much🙏🏼

Did you watch the video at all🤣

Amen 🙏

Thanks mummy🥰

Yea. I explained the concept of aku ruo ulo in this video

Thank you 🥰

Exactly my thoughts @precious is that u on your Avi. Those eyes 😘 captivated me. Are you coming home for your Igbankwu or u married ☺️..lol

Amen thank you so much🙏🏼

Thank you so much😊

Yea

@@dera_giselle I am building a 3 bed room house in my village in Uganda and some friends thought I was wasting money. I feel vindicated after watching your video because my house is very basic compared to these mansions. Building in the village supports village economy and provides employment. I mostly used local materials , I even bought cement from my local traders. Only the tiles did I get straight from the factory.

It's their money. They are free to spend it whichever way they want.

Daalu❤️🙏 I really appreciate this

At all oh😂

Thank you so much 🥰

Thank you so much🙏🏼

Nooop.

🥰thank you so much

Thanks mummy❤️

Thank you so much🙏🏼

Amen thank you so much 🙏

Thank you so much🙏🏼

Thank you so much and welcome to my channel 😍

Thank you so much for watching🙏

It doesn't make any sense, it's better to build a hotel then you will be able to employ people or build a children home it's better

Thank you so much ❤️
