When you’ve learnt to make requests in a polite manner, I might respond.
I don’t respond to commands. Good breeding/manners matters

I'm sorry if I sounded disrespectful and commanding. I just want to pick your brain as you have displayed you have wealth of knowledge to share

Oga Michlin, that era has gone past, don't drag us backwards.
People are now wiser when it comes to allocating properties in the absence of a male child.

well I am telling you what I observed about Igbo people. It's not meant to sound sweet because it's a fact

For me and myself, its for the pursuit of happiness. If it is legit, not against my belief, morally right and makes me happy, I will work hard for it.

if big mansion makes you happy, do it.

If a small kobo kobo bungalow makes you happy,build it too.

A criminal is a criminal. He doesn't need an excuse to turn to crime. He is a criminal because that's whom he is. No more no less

The truth is that if I had more money when I was building my house, I would have built a bigger building, because people expect us to build bigger to accommodate other family members. I am even surprised I am saying this, me, an advocate of financial prudence and someone who saved almost all my salary while working and who invested heavily back then.

But when it comes to building houses, my people dont spare anything to make a statement, especially those who suffered to make their money, especially those who grew up in hardship and the whole family slept in one room for many years, that big building is what will change the narrative, and it stays till I am long gone. I am also interested in my peace of mind while alive, I wont like to be thrown around because theirs no room for me to find solace at old age.

But I must also advice people not to rush into building village homes with investment funds, there are funds that must be invested for residual income before venturing into village retirement homes. Failure to invest before building private retirement homes will lead one to retire early, and sometimes into financial problems.

I don't care if my children maintain the house or even return to it, I care about myself for now, and the statement i made when i can, i care about the unlimited joy i feel whenever i wake up from this village house, because that's the real house i have, others could go but this is where i hope to return to, to die in, to be buried around and maybe to be hovering there afterwards (if there's anything like that)

My father built a house, I left it and built mine, if my children dont build theirs, it's their own concern, not mine. In the place I come from, people periodically bring their children home to the village to show them around. Show them the farms, the streams, the local markets and other village customs.

I will forever support honesty and integrity in all business and in everything in life, I can never support people doing crime either in this country or abroad to build houses in Nigeria.

you can't say it any better.

Someone paid $11ml just to visit edge of space. This journey took less than fifteen minutes and na so money take fly. People pay thousands of dollars just to sit in front of a favorite NBA game and boxing matches. That moment of happiness is the only thing they're taking to their grave and nothing else.


I will leave my papa house to build my own. My children are expected to leave mine to build theirs. I will make statement with my own house no matter how little or big it is. I will grow old and hopefully die inside the house. I also hope that I am buried there too. IT IS MY HOUSE.

No, reason why “you “ work hard. A lot of people have moved on from the mindset that drives you. In the end, as long as your aspirations can be achieved through honest sweat. It is dishonest sweat that adds sorrow during a person’s lifetime.

why do you work hard. Sum it up in two sentences or maximum of four

Nigerians should learn to leave crime scene the way they met it. They probably moved him quickly to leave room for another customer to lodge. Right now, they will be emersed in an investigation that might keep the hotel locked up for months to come

First to do no dey pain. As you don throw first punch, expect counterpunch from your opponents.

I don't think any politician is as old as Biden in Nigeria yet that man is already looking at second term. And his office is the most difficult one in the world.

Let's focus on who has the capacity to lead. Personally, I will want Adesina, Peter Obi,muoghalu and other vibrant brains. But we practice democracy which is the game of numbers. One of its flaws is that stupid people usually decide who wins. That's why you reading this must get a PVC and ensure that you vote. You're more informed and intelligent. Don't allow an almajiri to decide who rules you for the next eight years

I fell into same situation too when I built my 7 bedrooms ensuite duplex. All my children and grand-children are born abroad, although I have introduced them to Nigeria life but I still dont see them coming to live in Nigeria with all these happenings. But I have learnt from my mistake o; all other builds are not this big anymore. God help us.

@EgunMogaji.... with my Igbo roots, I like big "Obi" o.

here's the thing. We're Igbo people. Our children will always return home and will try to outbuild us. I have been to many people homes from this thread, you will put a respect to their name.

If I get money today, I will build a modest bungalow for old age but you see MANSION, I must build it. It can waste after I die for all I care. But I must have it to my name. You see red cap and chieftaincy title,it must be added to my name. Have you listened to any osadebe or Oliver decoque? Someone is called

"Mkpuogiriga 1 na umuoji". This person can't stand up in his community and you make noise. At the end of it all,all these are the reason we work hard to make money. Many people have enough money to live modestly till they die but they went that extra mile to become wealthy. It might sound vain but then, everything else in life is vain

Cultures have the distinct ways and values. In Igbo land, ones compound (Obi) is his heritage and that make it a valued sacred treasure. Most cannot be bought with any amount of money, The thought of even giving it out is sane.

that's why the birth of a male child in Igbo can not be overemphasized.

We can sound "woke" and all about all children being blessing. But an average Igbo man will always want a male child else his sweat goes to the closest family member

Charly boy should come and see people.

Meanwhile add graphic tag on the topic

We're yet to have energy security meanwhile we're exporting same gas to power our turbines and homes. What's wrong with the leadership of this country

The civil servants in Nigeria are too lazy I swear. They're the ones championing and celebrating this

you can’t discuss everything before you get married… not possible

yes you can't discuss everything before getting married.

But you see genotype and career goals, those are what you must discuss

Why are the younger generation very quick to give into crime.

What business venture has a 21 years old done or what hustle has he done that will warrant him or her to venture into crime.

You haven't even tested your "chi" to bless you

₦200 notes have suffered. It is the most brutalized currency note in Nigeria. I don't know what that murtalla Mohammed did against Nigerians

kopell:
Yes you can, I personally design something similar few years ago. You never know someone may like the design. see attached

this is good sir.

Before you got married, you should have discussed career goals and know how ambitious each other is.

If she says she can't go, let her be and you should start working on some other job for her. Don't come and spoil the peace you have in your house. It's very hard to come by

Twins and triplets should be reserved for the rich. 50k in this economy is nothing at all even for a single person.

You see this marriage thing,if your body no full, comot body jhoor

There is mantra in Igboland known as Aku ru ulo. Any true rich Igbo, that does not build a well befitting house in his village is considered an “efulefu” .
Are theses people not successful in all standards?
From Peter Obi, Obi Cubana, E money, Orji Uzo, Hope Uzodima, Emmenike, Jowe Zaza, Fkavor, kanayo o Kanayo, Dr Godwin M,
Check the internet for pictures of their houses.?

It is a tradition. One that should be encouraged Let some of the wealth come home.

you're not rich until "ndị ụmụnna gị" confirms that.

"O gbùrù efi enyero umunna ya, kedụ ndị ka etu ya ogbuefi"

This country is funny oh.

Let's say the court registrar committed the blunder, what is his punishment for bringing such shame upon the supreme court.

Innoson and GTB should go and settle themselves. E no concern me

We're still working round to clock to replace all the goods we sold

KolaShangOne:
Yes o.. I love looking at these gigantic houses and saying "Wow"..

But personally,

I love my houses how I love my women.

Cute, small, beautiful houses..

KolaShangOne:
Such a gigantic house.

Characteristic of South Eastern houses..

e dey enter your eyes abi?

That's the goal of building such edifice(s)

Remember that perfection is possible

dasparrow:
Nigerian youths are so lost and don't know what is good for them. Are there no other credible people out there that can run for the seat of president other than these old recycled politicians? Common Nigerians! You can do better. Don't end up with yet another corrupt politician who will waste your life and destiny for another 8 years. Are you people not tired of suffering?

when it comes to politics, there's no messiah rather you choose someone with the least baggage who can actually deliver leadership skills when needed. That's the mistake Nigerians made with Buhari by giving him the mantle of leadership with the mindset he will be an angel.

You can't come from outside of the political circle to displace men and women who have dedicated their lives and energy for politics and power

Whenever a Nigerian start telling you about his relationship with God, just raise your guard higher than normal
