I go once in a year too. And I never spent 14 straight days for that once-in-a-year visit.

I must confess I dont know the section to post this. But I have a serious question I must ask.
Is it necessary to have a house in the village when you spend most of your life outside the village? My uncles hardly visit their mansions in the village. Other people are just occupying the property. They only come back once in a blue moon. They can just breeze in and breeze out tomorrow.
My question now is, is it not better to have that mansion in the city, than rent an apartment in the city. You are a tenant in the city in one poor make-shift house, but own a duplex in the village that is empty. Is it even economically wise? It baffles logic and common sense. Dont give me that shity excuse about Home town and burial.

Land is most likely more expensive in the city than in the village so the village might accommodate the size of house they want as land may not be expensive but in the city you'll be paying through your nose for a huge piece of land in a good area. Besides that, if you're Igbo I think it's a traditional thing. Is it not?

Same with people abroad who have mansion back home while hustling their lives abroad and squatting with friends or living in tiny apartments,...

Take note : they visit HOME once in a blue moon

To me it's called Show off and lack of common sense.

In Igbo land, your house is representative of who you are and that's why they feel it's necessary to build a house in their village.

It is a culture they should discard. It's simply penny wise, pound foolish.
