Reactions as man shares observation about village mansions
@1remendazero said:
“Most of those houses are a form of “retirement homes ” for the Igbos. My dad and most of his peers lived in Abuja, Lagos, and other parts of the country, but as of some years back, almost all of them are now chilling in the village.”
@Horiyourme said:
“Man is in the west and now understand it’s not about what people think of your money. It’s always about what your money can do for you. Understandably people back home wouldn’t get it, to the majority, it’s always the ability to show people that I have money.”

“Honestly, in my opinion, he is right. 5-6 rooms duplex with a very large compound is ok for a village house.”
@ChiosLens said:
“To him that does not come home it is a waste. There are a lot of people benefiting from their village mansions.”
@orebobo said:
“Ok. Let him do with his whatever he wishes.”
@iam_arinzona said:
“Sometimes, everything is not about next of kin. It’s about what makes you happier. Some people have spent the money in Lagos or Abuja, but they demolished it. Some spent the equivalent of the money in the clubs. Note: Never start building when you don’t have the money.”
@TalktoTosin09 said:
“If you don’t agree with his perspective, simply scroll past instead of insulting him. He’s not saying you shouldn’t build a house in your village, but he’s pointing out that it’s not economical to spend so much on a mansion in a location where it holds little value.”
