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.

It's really, really beautiful. A classic example of what happens when we support one another and lift one another up. ❤

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😊

@@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.

Nice city, with a dozen factories the city will come alive and there will be more employment for the youth.

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 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.
