Abagworo: I think mud houses need to be rebuilt and preserved for our future generations. There's little or no mud house left in most parts of Igboland and that is not good. Mud houses can be "funkified" with POP, conduit wiring, Skidded interior and marble floor.

We have transfered the mud houses in Igboland to the Igbo farm village in America

Afam4eva: ^^ Is that really Detroit? I never knew Detroit had water.

Yes, its Detroit.

Can it be turned into this (Detroit)?

Consider beaches and tourism, industrial park, upper class residential and office blocks, etc.
How is the landscape along the entire length of this river on the Anambra axis?

This is Onitsha. How can Anambra leverage this fantastic sea-side spectacle for economic development?

One Naira

Onitsha is not a village. So could you please create anew thread with these beautiful Onitsha photos. We have always only seen the dirty side of Onitsha. These are good areas.

ZE: .....this tread was not opened to pick on others you lunatic

That about sums it up. He is a lunatic

all4naija: Hahaha...There are actually a lot of deceitful Igbo individuals in the thread waiting to do anything possible to pass their erroneous images and messages across. This is not meant to deceive somebody like me.

How can anyone even begin to argue with a blatant ignoramus who cannot discern between movies and real life? To people like you, what you see in Hollywood is what America is in real life. You be proper sheep (aturu/agutan).

bump

all4naija: Thank you very much. We don't need image of selected buildings but aria view or collective buildings.

Most of the pictures in the first and second pages are aerial views of Igbo villages. If you have aerial views of other Igbo villages please post them or STFU. You should be ashamed of yourself for your iddiiotic rantings. You posted fake Igbo villages earlier and FSU busted you. You will soon be history.

Chris-OD:
Post your photos of houses in Igbo villages here. No photos of cities, towns or other urban areas please.

Igbos know what we mean by ''village'' (that place you go to in your state of origin every celebration time)


Village houses in Abia State

In Igboland, ''village'' also implies that place where your grandfather/father (if passed) was buried and where your family has its Obi.

Sunny_bobo: I move a motion that this thread be deleted until January to allow people take pictures when they travel for Xmas as we need more pics and less talk.

If you agree with me, click like.

You lie bro.

However, we will keep the thread alive for you till next Xmas

Osun state special police unit strips a lady for dressing indecently

What manner of correction would you call a situation whereby policemen strip a female citizen because she dressed indecently.

An unconfirmed report by an OMG Nigeria reader (with a picture report sent in) told the story on how the special police unit in Osun state allegedly humiliated a lady because she wore a low-waist trouser, the eye witness (name withheld) said the obscene act went on for couple of minutes before they eventually left her to go. See the picture after the cut (viewer’s discretion is strongly advised)

The Special police team allegedly took their time to savour the “stripping moment”, passers-by could only stand and watch to avoid the wrath of the cops.

If this story is true, lets hope the concerned authorities take necessary actions. The police force should concern itself with the protection of the citizens and not intimidate

I served in a place around Oji River in Enugu State, right on the boundary with Anambra. It was pretty pristine back then. Anyone knows that state of Oji River now?

Afam4eva: Stick to the topic or don't comment at all. The title of the thread is explicit enough. if you must discuss the economic importance of these house then you're free to create a new thread. I don't know what is it with Nigerians and bad belle. No thread is sacrosanct anymore. Anywhere you see people smiling and having fun, you guys will just appear from nowhere with your negative comments to poison the thread. Stop it. it's not good. It's you people that will say Igbos cannot develop or build a house where they come from and when they do, you'll say they're building it for termites. What exactly do you people want?

Please delete/hide his nuisances that he calls posts. You are the moderator.

obadiah777: NOW I SEE WHY EVERY IGBO MAN WAN HAMMER BY FORCE. TOO MUCH COMPETITION

LOL. Only if you can point to any Nigerian ethnic group wey no dey ''hammer by force''

ballabriggs: Mugu 1,

I say it again, anyi talaugba nwuo mmi, ndi agbagba na kuruma. You can spend all your money and build house for termites, that one na your own business.

Me, I no dey that one. So shift now, MUHEHEHEHE.

Jealousy. Any of those houses look derelict to you?

ballabriggs: Nonsense and useless thread.

Most of these houses are only occupied for less than 30 days in 365 days, what economic benefit?

Instead of focusing on how they will reclaim their lands from Ezeala stealing it via erosion, they are busy showing unoccupied houses.

Useless people, make dem dey build their nonsense dey go, anyi talaugba nwuo mmi, ndi agbagba na kuruma.

Who is this idioooot? Please go and continue living in the creeks. At least 30% of the houses in your own village/town/city are owned by Igbos

some-girl:
Something you should know about Nd'Igbo, they save the best for the village.
I don't know if it's a good thing, but it's the way it is.
An Igbo man who lives in rubble in a foreign city might just have a mansion in his village.

May not be economical sound in the short run if you do not live there permanently, but very okay in the long run. And, in a volatile country such as Nigeria, you need contingency plans.

It is not really about economics. It is a tradition that we love.
