- The village is been developed by its indigenes and not the government this is so because, the people of this community are so wealthy. I took time to tour around the village and see things for my self

Very proud of my village and all the able sons of Abiriba kingdom.. my own structure is already ongoing.. cheers 🥂
Abiriba remains number one beautiful village in Igbo land. No two ways!
Abiriba is a pride of Igbo nation
Yes as Igbo let’s stop developing Lagos let’s develop our land oh Lord give me money l know what l am saying
It's really, really beautiful. A classic example of what happens when we support one another and lift one another up. ❤
This is Abiriba in Abia State. It is called Small London because of the way the indigenes have transformed it with structures. Abiriba people don't joke with their town. They invest in it and keep it beautiful.
That looks like a city not a village, which I see will attract many tourist eventually. Beautiful.
The village does not need any tourists please . they already have their money and want to remain natural.
Abiriba my home town was called small London in 1946 by Late Zik of Africa when it was not as beautiful as this, so by now it should be way beyond London. Am proud of my home town (Abiriba)
Please abiriba is in abia or Anambra
@BlessingAugustine-ls5lw it's in abia state
No wonder Buhari hates the igbos his village cannot be compared to this village
Abiriba is a beautiful play shaa... My friend was like her Villa is so fine, I was like for where?
Omor... I just confirmed it now 😮
Yes bró
Abiriba, pride of Abia State. D only village in Abia State, that shuts up proud Anambara people and keep their ego in check, from their superiority complex against other Igbo villages.
Anambra also has good houses
You can say that again bro
@@walkwithsimonbut can't be compared
IGBO AMAKA...
Pls stop. We are one. We learn from each other..
Very beautiful i hope the community come together to tarmac the roads and put down proper kerb stones with pavements to all house edges this will polish it off nicely😆👍
That's exactly what the place needs
Abia state government should tar the link roads. Beautiful 👍
My hometown, they helped themselves so much am impressed.
I am proud to be from Abiriba Enachioken! Thank you for this exposé. Great work. Well done. ❤️
Thanks much sir
It's wonderful to people of wealth in Africa, build their own village. Smart living. Shalom from the States
Africa is blessed
I tap from their grace Amen and Amen 10:13
Amen!!!
This is beautiful. Igbo kwenu
The place you showed is not a village, so beautiful .
100% village! Their houses are owned by the indigene of that village. Igbo people don't build houses in other people's villages because no indigenes rent an apartment to live in their villages, if they don't have to get free from family members. I was laughing myself off when he said come buy land there, right away I knew he knew nothing about Igbo culture and people.
Wow Abiriba Ancient Kingdom
Abiriba is blessed👌
waw beautiful houses😮
I am so proud of abiriba people, they are pacesetters in term of development and helping one another, anambra people shld stop developing Lagos, my town is not doing bad in the area of development, good houses and solar system in all our roads.
Abiriba are blessed people
Tell us your home town
Beautiful and Amazing
Wow amazing it's beautiful
Wow. They definitely have the right mindset people whom will respect the knowledge and not bite the hands that provide needful information. Well done guys.
We said bro🙌🙌
Good to watch, I wish the abriba people will map out lands for parks and playground, it is very important in today's world, plant more trees, which will be cleaning the air and bring fress breeze
Who would play on the playground? These days, there are hardly any people in these villages because their families are resident in cities.
They also hardly return and stay home cos of the security situations.
@@13thghost42say what you know
@@user-tt3hb6xf6t read again for more information. This time, read slowly.
They do have. This area he shown is the worst side of abariba.
@@13thghost42you will surprise, visit there in one of festivals or Christmas season everywhere is jammed. They are one the most cultured people in the world. An abriba kid birn abroad knows their culture, their parents take them home for age grade fraternity and festival. They jniw their roots and don't leave it.
Nice city, with a dozen factories the city will come alive and there will be more employment for the youth.
wow i love this small london were you will find great man
This place too sweet chai
The people have a good spirit, I think the deferent between them and Nnewi people is that nnewi bring both their business home but this one they just prepare ahead of retirement from the city, but Abia state government is not doing well, they suppose to install street lights there.
Very true sir, we expect more from Abia state
My people unu agbapele umunnem❤
Very beautiful , And I am happy for the people who live there 🌺
They are blessed
Very few people live there. Did you see anybody on the streets? But the caption is right. It is a very beautiful village.
abiriba my home foever let indi anambara go and develope yourouba land but us our land comes first simon good job in Abiriba enachoken its a competition
What is so special here I don't see any development here
You are jealous
Talk truth .. development full
Abiriba is not beautiful when you see it on video,what you just saw is sight,when you get there you will then see how magnificent. Abiriba is,
You sick will have nice house in Yoruba language try go Lagos and sick
wow!!... i never knew places like this exists aside anambra state villages..... nice one
Sure it is
Then u are yet to visit igbere in same abia.That one should compete fine with abiriba but only that abiriba houses are bigger but igbere roads and layouts are de best in east
Abiriba part of my history, some people of Abiriba are Billionaires while some people are poor. Beautiful buildings there❤
Every village still has rich and poor people😂😂
Madam every state have poor indigenes
What state are you from plss
Just want to know
There are poor and homeless people in London and America too.
@@walkwithsimon Even United states and Europe has poor people in their land today. Those rich men you see in Igbo land are one-time poor people. None of them was born with silver spoon. Example, one of the richest Billionaire in Nnewi/Igbo land COSCHARIS GROUP OF COMPANIES while growing up as a small boy he used to be a street hawker selling Akara and Akamu for his widowed mother early in the morning before going to his elementary school class every day. He also engages himself in hired laborer like cutting of palm fruits from a tall palm tree (OTE-NKWU) including helping the brick layers by mixing concrete and sand for brick layers in a construction site just to make some money to help his widowed mother at his early age before he managed to finish his elementary 6 class and move to the bigger cities for greener pasture as a servant boy to his master. The rest is history.
Good job bro, Abiriba is truly great
What i noticed when i visited last month for a funeral was that the people made money early.Beforre the 50s and 60s.U see beautiful old buildings that can never be seen anywhere in Igbo land
Very true bro...very industrious people. Mostly merchants in the used clothing and stock fish trade way back when...and they made it big and are still making it...these days, you have some new e money in the mix too!...I remember them going home to their homeland from Lagos, every December, in the 70's as a kid.
You mean they stole money early.
@@pixpushathey are not into government nor Yahoo nonsense. They introduced okirika, stock fish and merchandise in Nigeria.
Abiriba, in Ohafia Local Government
Area, in Abia State, to the World:
The "Jewel" Of Abia State, and, Igboland, as well as The whole of
Africa / Nigeria!!
I am Very Proud Of My People:
Abiriba Kaa nu!! "Jokwa nu"!!
Abiriba is blessed
Kaa kwanu,nwanne.
Igbo tribe have money ...Enough respect for them..
I am shut of words. This is too amazing.
🤗🤗
Abiriba should go a step further and lead the way in Nigeria by helping to build public infrastructures!
While big mansions are needed and a delight to behold, the indigenes can enhance their reputation by building public parks, public libraries , hospitals/clinics and schools!
In no time at all,Abiriba would be called a town!
I don't understand the lack of pavement and the clumps of wild grass on the sides of the roads!!
The Abiriba fraternity would reach even higher heights!
Start with your village. You want flowers on empty lands, right? Show your village. Not-do well like to give unsolicited advice and why?
@@thetruth6396 You ask why? I' ll tell you the "truth" !!!
Because without any of that Abiriba would remain a village!
Abiriba has two general hospital a library,post office,two stadium,so many secondary and primary schools all built by the age greads I think Abiriba need a park for relaxing that is what is lacking
@@aframaco9491 did they tell you they want to be a town? Village is fir relaxation and family reunions
@@thetruth6396 If we check am wellu wellu, you are not from Abiriba sef!
Abroko people dem, never want development !
It looks a lot like here in Jamaica 🇯🇲🇯🇲
You think so
@@walkwithsimon yes I do
I will not doubt it. A family friend from Jamaica was building a big mansion when he suddenly died from accident
Yes I thought the same but couldn’t be Jamaica because we don’t know how to help our fellow man and even when we do it’s still not a good process, we have a lot to learn when it comes to this
@@pauladavis7205 never say never.
Wow 🎉🎉❤
Abiriba number one in abia state
I ve been there during a marriage ceremony; a very beautiful village or town.
Thanks much sir🙌
@@walkwithsimon very beautiful but why so many high walls and barbed wire ? Do they have shops, banks, gas stations and other commercial activities?
May God continue to bless the people of this community.
I wish this community could team up and build the first " Art and Culture University in the World " or any Specialist University!!
The actually built a nursing school there.
@@walkwithsimon Great houses however they should spend money to fix the horrible roads! This will add more value to their mega properties!
Unity of purpose is key.
@@NathanKwadadetheir roads are not horrible except where buildings are still under construction , and remember the roads are peeved by the villagers,no govt. assistance.
How can you compare this beautiful place to London. Pls dont disgrace yourself. This is most beautiful village and London will dream to have such houses. This is why i want to come back home to Africa and enjoy the proper living and not this stressful overhyped so called advance countries.
Your always welcomed sir🙌🙌
❤
That's a good and lofty aspiration...but don't forget that as you grow older, you may have many health challenges and will need excellent health care if you are not to succumb to your ailments and frailties. Ask yourself, how many standardized health care facilities do we have in the rural areas in Nigeria? The nearby cities are not faring any better...besides, most health care personnel, myself included, and even those of Abriba origin, have all emigrated abroad these days...that is my biggest concern personally...You may still need to be flown out for care every time you fall ill....let it not come to you as a surprise that most of the owners of those houses you see, have no real intentions of living there permanently for extended periods of time. Those structures serves as their holiday home, and family home for their less privileged family members and older parents...at least, that is my personal story😊
@crackerjack4989 one of things we Africans or blacks have forgotten to do is by living by nature and herbal treatment. Western medicines are good but the side effects are very deadly. Food is health so what goes in matters. My gran was 120yrs before she died, my dad was about 90yrs too. There is a lot of strange sicknesses here in the western world and its not good for blacks esp we lack son which help us with our bones.
@@blackentrepreneur8564 well said my nwanne. There is no big deal here in western countries, many of us regretted coming. Food is wealth my bro. COVID really exposed the west.
I will visit Abiriba in this December, Amen
Your always welcomed sir
Beautiful Village, Nice Houses but it's a shame some part of the road needs construction to be honest.
It looks the same like Obo Kwahu in Ghana. One of the most beautiful village in Ghana (Obo Kwahu) 😊
Igbho's are like the Kwehus
@@Kwamebusangayou got it wrong. They are like igbos not the other way round pls.
Obó has beautiful landscape but doesn't come any way near Abiriba in terms of building good structures,come to Abiriba and be dumbfounded
Show us that place lets see how it looks the same we hate liars here.
Africa is not a country but a continent comprising many countries. 👆👆👆
❤
Imagine if the government situates a university in this village. Everywhere go explode with development
It is very beautiful as it is....
Beautiful indeed ❤️
Please note that I am the first viewer.
Also I once worked in the Catholic hospital in that Abiriba. I think it's at Agbo court
Your noticed sir❤
The broader next step would be to build a thriving community around the wealth, and then create self-sustaining income generation. That's how communities grow. Or plan to make it a communal oasis (think resort), that itself brings in some wealth. Build from inside, out. Good to see as I have connections to Aro, so not far from this community. But let's get systematic rather than strictly individualistic.
Everything is a process
Good advice. Be the pacesetter.
Why would a person want to turn their hometown into a resort? These are private homes.
All these mentioned they are doing that
@@pixpusha not a person - that's the individualistic mindset I'm referring to. governing stakeholders should have a broader vision of the community. The resort would not be inside the home, I thought that would be obvious.
Well done Simon
Thanks sir❤
Please London is not as fine as this beautiful town
Hamburg is the richest city in Germany and i have been to billionaire's neighbourhoods called blankenese , Abiriba in Abia State is far better than what i have seen there
Wow
Umuahia is a village compare to abriba
Proud of my People: Great Abiriba
People in Abia State( Ohafia Local Government Area), in Nigeria!!
Well done brother!!!
Thanks much dear
it's my Village ooo beautiful
Finer and better planned than all the lagos suburbs. If you see igbo man for lagos please respect him ,no joke
Igbo land is blessed
Drug lords🙄
@@sinasanusi5317stop he jealous
@sinasanusi5317 Yes, they are drug lords who specialise in medication to help you treat your madness and jealousy.
Beautiful. Need sidewalks and some nice parks for families to hang out.
We agree!
This a village not a city.
Did you see any car on any road there?
Think of your own rural village and understand that here's not a city, not even a local government headquarters.
Our grandfathers thought us well
Abiriba is blessed❤️
I am proud to be from Abiriba
My hometown
Your home is blessed
Most of them lived in America. They're the ancient region in Southeast, they had early contact with Europeans. They're the main importers of Okporoko stockfish
Fatty lies! Most of them are entrepreneurs doing business in Nigeria and beyond. Most of their richest people are Nigeria based.
False. Most of the owners of those mansions live in Nigeria.
Which people living abroad? You have no idea. The real mansions were built by those Businessmen in Nigeria.
Wow, this is so beautiful. Thanks for the video
You're welcome sir❤️
Abriba I give you kudos.
Abiriba is blessed
Thts Beauty, villages hv big land to build on and no tax and rates to pay
That's why I love my country Nigeria
The Late Ikemba of Nnewi, Chief Odumegwu Ojukwu nicknamed Abiriba during the Biafra/ Nigeria civil war, as small Biafra London. Abiriba town has no rival in the entire Africa.
Abiriba is blessed
It was Zik who nicknamed Abiriba, not Ojukwu
Nnamdi Azikiwe not ojukwu
Igbo bu Igbo - said Ojukwu when he visited Abiriba and saw their rich culture.
It was Zik that called Abiriba small london
Why can't they develop the roads? Hopefully they will try to come together and develop the side roads to complement their beautiful houses and town.
They have developed roads
Moreover that is federal or state government job. They can only help
Correct
Do you have a village? Doesn't it has a better road networks than they? Jow much have you developed yours? The area he shown is not the best of abriba.
Abiriba have developed road constructed by them desperate it's the work of federal government but we still do our best
❤❤❤
There is a town called AKPUGO in Enugu State 5 times the size of ABIRIBA they don't have so concentrated structures like Abiriba due to the wide areas they have but guys you will see mansions and shout. Infact the first time seeing an entirely glass mansion .
I love the background song
Abriba is a beautiful city like OGUTA in Imo state but they need to improve on their roads and streets it is narrow and unkempt
Oguta is a beautiful town too
The spirit of investment and support to each other is worthy of emulation. Why are the roads untarred biko?
The road are tarred not just in all areas.
How many village roads are tarred in Nigeria? Maybe 1%.
Amen you should also visit ngor okpala local government areas still comparable.
Will surely do so
Proud Abiriba
Am from ABIRIBA..But in this video there are places I expected to see roundabout, agbocourt, ugwuezi and eche-iyi
I was there for more than 2 months
GO BUILD A SCHOOL , HOSPITAL, MECHANISED AGRICULTURE. THIS WILL PROVIDE EMPLOYMENT AND BRING BACK POPULATION.
Do they have shops? They need a large shopping mall or something..
Shopping mall in a rural village? They are all building on their ancestral land . nobody there is a visitor.
@@OlierOnah guess they don’t need shops🤷♀️..Don’t really care whichever way🤷♀️😂
Abiriba, in Abia State, Nigeria:
The Land Of "Real Billionaires":
"Quiet Billionaires": Not Those
"Noise-makers"!!!
Ana ama Aka??
True sir
Noisy , jealous and egoistic people indeed
Simon, please visit ABBA in Nwangele IImo state that's another beautiful village the hometown of Johnbosco Ozigbo Portharcourt 1st son.
I am a Proud Abiriba Lady 😍
You are blessed
Nice homes, but bad and unpaved roads reduces the beauty of this place.Please fix the roads.
They have good roads
Can you imagine, this is just an ordinary village, take for example we all come back to build our Biafra Land.
Impressive - humongous houses with small gardens though. If I was blessed enough to own a house like those I would like some outdoor living relaxing space. I'd be getting together with my neighbours so the roads were really good and had pavements and street lighting all about. Love the drone images. The surprising thing was there weren't many people about walking up and down or private cars.
Most of these big men don't stay in the village and these village has two side, where most people live and the other where there are big and fine houses but most of them stay aboard
@@walkwithsimon You are very correct in your assessment. Most of them actually stay abroad where, I might add, they also have humongous edifices like these too...the village only come to life during the Christmas period when most people return for the Christmas holidays as they are mostly Christians. Then you can see a lot of people and luxury cars in the village. This is not peculiar to this community. It is the same in most communities in the Eastern parts of the Country. Another time when the village comes to life is when they celebrate their traditional ceremonies and events...cheers!
@@crackerjack4989 well said my brother. Thanks for taking your time to comment on our video.🙌
@@walkwithsimon You are very welcome...Shalom!
Nnamdi Azikwe in the 50s and early 60s kept calling SMALL LONDON
Waoh what a blessed people who reach out to help others not pull down another. Ones wealth is for another. 🎉🎉🎉
True fact 👌
Abiriba my home my pride
Igbos bring your wealth investment mansion home
Help develop Igbo land
2023 election should have open ur eye. Be wise🧠🧠❤️
True brother
Beautiful area but if they extend the area put the powerlines underground.
It's going to spoil the name called village
Abiriba has been known to be small London more than 40 years or more now. Both old and new money from hard working business men and their wives.
That fact is much true
Yes as an Igbo man I approve this😊
Great houses bad roads
If you can come to see Thai village in Bangkok, Thailand. You will see that this village is small small in Bangkok, Thailand.
Definitely will visit someday
You mentioned Bangkok which is the capital of Thailand. Of course Abiriba is not a capital and I can bet that this village is far beautiful than any other village in Thailand other than your Bangkok 😁
