Freshly tapped Nkwu and Ngwo, okorosha and ogho traditional festivals, weddings, burials, spending money, visiting relatives who arrived from abroad, séx with my villa babes . . .etc

Dr A Y: I the go village because of my girl friend and my parent.

tout like u

Bushmeats not animals ooo

Etumgbe: Village breeze

no wonder ur skin is lik dat of scale of fish

The scent of d air I inhale, the sight of trees and bushes is just natural and heart warming, the treatment rendered to a township dude, my former girl friends and the chance of meeting a new girl friend in d bus while traveling!

NRI PRIEST: For me it is visiting aged relatives and listenning to them talk about ancient Igbo land(oge gboo)....I miss my grandmother who always tell me stories of how life was in the early 1900 century. About great ppl who lived and what made our town tick. How I wish I can bring back the ancient Igboland with all her traditions.

For the ones in bold.
Who said you can't? First, give out or destroy every of ur modern day possessions, demolish ur cement house and replace it wt mud or thatch, start walking about in ur adamic cloth (unclad), etc, others will join you.
GOOD LUCK!

Antivirus92: For me, eating ji oku(roasted yam) with red oil and ukpaka. Going to the stream/river to swim.

Ewoooo! nwanne ima ebeano,

The fresh and clean air...away from all the polluted air in the city!

Everything about my hometown appeals me. It's my root and I MUST identify with it, in and out of season.
Every visit to my hometown reminds me that I need to work harder to make a visible impact that would transform lives for the better in my ancestral home and beyond.
For those of you who see no reason for going home, I wouldn't advice you to do otherwise but bear in mind that the city isn't your root. One day, your children would ask you where their root is.
Always strive to make your root better than you met it.
OneLove!

visiting the village is always fun
but these days evil men dey too much.
A lot of promising young men have been cut down
in their prime because of one jealous relative
or the other.

A lot of young people are too scared to go back
home these days for fear of evil men.

--I can wake up and grab the nearest hanging gown and swing it over my head and go out without bathing, washing or pressing, and still blend in.
--Local delicacies (which wil look unhygienic in the city) gulped without a damn.
--Being updated with the latest village gists (the witch by the stream has claimed her 9th victim, mr so-so is rumored to be dating another man's wife, etc.)
--From one end of the village to the other- 10 minute motorcycle ride.

On the negative side: people that will be swarming your house for their own share of the "National Cake"

Natural environment
Seeing my parents and my younger ones (like to be in their midst)
Seeing, with nostalgia, my places of play as a small boy - the primary school I attended, football field I used to play, etc
Getting to meet old time, childhood friends

I always wish sallah holiday is longer

The fresh fruits from the village.

as me no kukuma no get village, na to waka pass remain

odumchi: M bu nwa a muru na Aro.

I love everything about it: it's hard to choose.

Ma monwo kwa

Seeing some of the comments above,I guess the trip is worth it.
I've always wondered why people subject themselves to so much stress;bad roads,hold ups,exorbitant fares etc.

Tradition, not technology. Know the difference.

The thought of my local soup(okoho) will always make me think of going to the village.

the palm wine fresh from the yard, fresh cashew fruits at this time of the year, everything is fresh(oha, onugbu, akwu, bushmeat and tilapia fish). And more importantly, the near zero polution level. And if you have my kind of eyes, you will always spot the fresh virgin punnies in the villa.

1. I do enjoy drinking water from the clay pots in some households in the village.
2. I enjoy Oil bean (Ugba) gathering. This practice is almost dead now because of development. It's a pity most Ugba trees have given way for electric poles and other developments.
I enjoy Igba Okii (thatch making). Again, most of those houses which I reroof with the thach I make are gone. I don't know if this is good or bad.
I enjoy cutting grasses and leaves and palm fronds for domestic animals.
I enjoy drinking locally made anti malaria herb drinks popularly called Ogwu Iba.
I enjoy making baskets with palm fronds as well as brooms for house sweeeping.
I also enjoy going to the bushes to gather mushrooms popularly called Ero. But those bushes are groing thin daily because of urbanisation.
I also enjoy making bird cages with palm fronds. But those birds that are attracted by the maize grown around my village have disappeared for ages.

The fresh palmwine $ football matches

I really enjoyed my visits to the village when grandma was alive because of the ''ofada rice'' she cooked and those jeweries sold for ₦20.00 she bought for me.
Now that shez dead, no one to check on at the village!
