The thing is men are afraid to buy houses in abroad because they feel the law favour the women and they might loose such houses in the event of a crises in their marriage. Secondly, it's an ego thing driven by the culture where we come from in that if you live in diaspora for instance and you don't own a house in your village, you are seen as a failure even though they know you may own one abroad. And until we change this mentality of respecting people for the material wealth they have acquired, the situation wont change. But do they really abandon these mansions as these videos claim? Thirdly a lot of Igbos did not have homes during the civil war and most lost their properties in cities like Lagos and Port Harcourt, so its a wakeup call for them. And when they are constantly told in other parts of Nigeria to go back to their land, they are not going to perch on trees or dwell in tent in the case of a situstion that would warrant them returning home or have we forgotten so soon "Abiola race" or "oso Abiola". Afterall, we all want Igbos to go and develop igboland not necessarily building only palatial mansions but also factories that would create jobs, housing, healthcare facilities etc. Or do we want our villages to turn to jungles when the old people there pass on? It should also be pointed out that its not everyone that can afford to build a mansion, its either you're in politics stealing money, some are ritual money while some may be into some illegal business and they cut across all tribes in Nigeria except of course some people in diaspora who are making it big or those who own legal businesses in Nigeria. The truth is that a lot of these rich people are selfish and don't have any sense of community service or giving back to their community or creating lasting wealth. They only care about that status and the control they have in their societies. Anyways in whatever way they make their money, you can't really tell people how to spend their money or what to build or where to build for that matter. That is not our place. Then again we don't want to sound like we are having an entitlement mentality to their money or jealous of their prosperity because that's what leads to the killings and unhealthy competitions we are seeing in our society today, that is the craze for material wealth among our youth. To me I don't think the issue should be, don't build in your villages rather it should be centered on how people who build are getting their money. If we know the person building that mansion do not have genuine source of income, we should call them out instead of celebrating them, singing their praise and giving them the front row seat in our churches and community gatherings May God give us wisdom to always think of laying good legacies while we are still alive

Those that prefer to build in the township like the Edo's you gave as an example. My question is where do they go during Christmas time or traditional celebrations? Don't they go back to their villages to celebrate with family. If they do, will they stay in those mud houses if they see building in village as a waste of money? For me, It makes sense to build something in the village no matter how small even if someone lives in the city, because the city where the person is living is not their fathers compound.

Pls you guys should stop saying is because experience of 1967 civil war. Culturally is part of being a complete man in igboland time immemorial whether a mud thatched house 🏠, block or mansion as long as is a house. The mansions these days are reflection of modern era. Our villages are part of our lives - village meetings, yam festivals, marriages, burials(is a must a dead must be buried in their village whether they died in overseas or big cities. Igbo communities in those places contribute to make sure the corpse is sent home village when the familycouldn't afford the expense). This village connection has helped the igbos to strive to succeed and propelled their hustling spirits hence they are seeing what their age grades, cousins, relatives and kinsmen are doing(inspiration). Those that built mansions don't see it as waste rather completion of adulthood. You can not separate igboman from his village even if he was born in big cities thus parents always make conscious effort to travel with their kids mostly August(new jam festivals) and Christmas periods. I was born in city but I know my village in and out by those festivity visits which helped me to know my root, relatives and villagers. Today I can't visit Nigeri without going to my village despite most of my business engagements are done in the cities. Christmas time in the village is fantastically inviting, no dull moments, too many activities - weddings, meetings, visitations, your people from all over the cities of Nigeria and beyond come back. Time to know your relatives one hasn't met before, networking and so on.

Tina you are not entirely correct about why the Igbo resort to building mansions in the villages. Yes, it stemmed from the aftermath of the civil war. However, it was because during the crisis when they returned home, some of them did not have a building to move in. Thus, immediately after the war, the Igbo in money first builds in their hometown before any other place or location.

Finding fulfilment is relative. An average Igbo man finds fulfilment in building a well conducive mansion in their country home. That might not be same for someone who comes from another tribe or culture. For an average Igbo man, it does not make sense to have all money in abroad or in other states, while you do not have any house in your country home. It is a poverty mentality to say that it is a waste of money, when the people who build it are not complaining. The Igbos find fulfilment in building this big mansions in their country homes and are proud of it.

Please let me know whether Igbos build these mansios in truly rural areas or suburban areas.I don't think it gives you any embarrassment. Why I ask this question is because I can not see any rural activities such as farming or rearing livestock going on. At least you could give the size and population of the village. This is an humble request by a subscriber from India.Thanks for sharing the video.

@RKesh, I think that your question was answered in part by Tina - the civil war in the country (1967-1970) is the major reason why the average Igbo family would build a home in the village rather than in the city. Pre-civil war Nigeria, Igbo people lived in different parts of the country. They felt at home and built their homesteads where they lived. When the pogroms that preceded the civil war arrived, and with thousands of Igbos and other Easterners getting slaughtered, especially in Northern Nigeria, millions fled to their original villages. Alas, the majority of them had no real houses in the village to move into. Many of the married ones came home with wives and children. They found themselves overflowing from the mkpuke (Mkpuke is grandma's house) and into the obi (Obi is a house within the compound where the patriarch of the family resides. It usually has but one bedroom and a living room. It is strictly for men and boys, just as the mkpuke is for the womenfolk). When the war ended and Igbos returned to commerce, the trend began to first build a place of safety in the village before investing in the city. Nigeria convulses ever so often and Igbos suffer the most because they are the most travelled. I hope this helps.

Igbos will soon finish all their farmland building houses with no resell value that remain vacant 90% of the year. Then later will complain when Hausa people start selling them yam at N1000 per tuber. Igbos should be wise and plan accordingly. Big mansions with no land to farm on will lead to hunger when you depend on your enemies to feed you. Food is already the most expensive in the East compared to the rest of Nigeria. Which is deliberate. IGBOS BE WISE.
