You said you gonna show us mantions but we only saw 3. At least 90% of the buildings I saw on your video is shacks and junks. And instead of showing people the mansion, you were just driving around. Driving around is not a good way to show people stuff.
it is only an Igbo man that if he is not even a dollar in his pocket, believes that tomorrow he will buy a car. What a positive. An Igbo man once told me this. From ghana
Yes that how my village is. I built two storey building in my village. It commands respect and makes have peace of mind that no matter how poor you ever becomes in the future, your village house won't be sold so it is still your signature building and will still remind people there was a time you were rich.
I think after the Biafran war, the Igbos saw the need to build these mansions in their homelands more than anywhere else. And to be honest, I admire them for that🤷
😂 It's not true, igbos do not have a shared consciousness, and since no explicit statement was written for everyone to do come home and build, it shows the theory is wrong.
@@achillesglacia7700 Shut up, Yorober man. What do you know about the Igbo culture or thinking? Always everywhere causing disunity. How about minding your business in the West? Her submission is right.
How do you admire one human having allotted huge amounts of space when the masses have little to nothing If you are doing business with the space to generate income to help yourself and fellow man, one can truly appreciate the effort. You build a huge building and no one occupies it. Whow!
Building mansions in lgbo started after the Nigerian civil war. Most lgbo men who fled the North to the East, came back penniless, without any place to stay, some lived in their trailers, most millionaires lost everything including their mansions and money they invested in the North. This experience made them y realize that they should start bringing their wealth back home in case of any eventuality in Nigeria, they won't lose everything.

The natural beauty Nigeria is to be admired in the villages and countryside - Some of those huge houses may be being built by those living abroad working hard to make the money to construct and furnish them - If anyone knows of person who has built one but can only visits once a year and needs someone to live there while they are away ( I am typing of myself ) PLEASE let me know ,I can make myself available. Really appreicate the airel views with the drones. As I have often wondered what is happening behind those high walls and beautiful gates.
I don't know if you remember how this Nigerian musicians called P square were humiliated in their village and insulted by Igbos for not building a house in their village? This is not about being a rich man or not. It's a Big Dream and a Need for every son of the igbo soil to have a house in the resting place of his ancestors, Yes! Because even after he dies, that's the same place his own bones will be place to rest along side his ancestors, so it doesn't matter if the house he builds is a duplex, bungalow or just one or two rooms in his village, what matters is that he has fulfill a big dream of not just making his ancestors proud but also given dignity and honor to his name, his future generation, and that of his ancestors. There will be joy of fulfilment in his life and he will be respected among equals no matter the type of house he ends up building as long as it's a modern block house. Also having it in mind that that's his "Ishi Obi" ( His resting place) and no matter his travels and hustles in life, he will always come back to this house to rest his head, for it's only in this house (not withstanding if he builds other houses in different towns), that his pride and respect lys among his peers in his village, and that's the biggest respect an Igbo man have. As I am talking to you so, I am building my own small small, it might take another 2 years to complete, but with the help of my ancestors, I most surely complete it and when I get married and have kids, my family and I will live inside the house peacefully when ever we visit the village.. Issee 🙏🏾
@@achillesglacia7700 what would I benefit from making such thing up? Anyway, if you think I am making this up, then you know nothing about what transpire in the village when this two music celebrities lost their mother and was about doing her burial in the village, in fact, it was all over the internet, a lot of Igbo bloggers where all talking about it.
@@Franklin8701is not true psquare have Manson in their village, people insulted them because they abandon their father's house and never renovate it, because nobody live there again since their mum died, in Igbo land when u comes of age u buy ur land and build ur own house because u don't depend on ur father's own, u don't just live in ur father's house with ur wife and children, because ur father's house is inherited by the ist male child of d family, so others who have make money will move out and buy their lands and build because they believe it's a shame still living in ur father's house after u have come of age, but if u haven't make it u can still be living in ur papa house but they see it as shame, that's why igbo men hustle very well to make it because they need to make it in life, so psquare were not insulted for not building house in their village but because they abandon their papa house and it was unkept, and since their aren't the first born they feel it doesn't concern them and no one live there too, even the first born has already buy land build his own desired mansion Else where, go and verify, psquare and the brothers have big beautiful mansion in d village. Next time read story well before coming out to write things u don't know.
@@divaqueenconcept2353 say what you know, my in-laws are from Ifitedunu, and I've been there so many times passing through Square father house, they didn't build any mention there, the house they have now was build after their mums died.
I'm Igbo and have definitely observed this. I just wish these large homes were combined with building up the community - tarring the road, boreholes for water, solar farms for electricity, farm equipment rentals for the subsistence farmers...my other other concern is that the younger generation aren't usually interested in going to the village even during the holidays; a lot of us now live outside the country. So what's going to happen to these homes?
What's going to happen?!? Seriously, so everyone's aware that most countries in the continent aren't truly functioning as their fully developed however that hasn't stopped the continent's elderly from aging & when this happens how many of them are honestly thinking that this is the prime to relocate in their lives leaving behind everything they've ever known 🤨 So this can easily become a business opportunity for those that are thinking like that by converting these beautiful home's into retirement facilities w/ some even providing live-in care (job's) these are just some of the ideas as to how avoid letting it all go to waste or lugging along an elderly family member who might not even be in the best of health that you probably won't even have much time for being that nobody expects anyone to quit working
@@walkwithsimonit reminds me of the bamileke people of Cameroon, similar to the Igbo, they build passions in their villages, these mansions for the most part are abandoned because the kids are in the west. I think it is good to have these houses in the village, but what the Igbo and the bamileke are failing or failed to do is teach the importance of not only the family name but what it means to be in the village, the tradition, culture, etc
Why is it your concern since you've chosen to live elsewhere or run away? If you're so concerned, you should be quick to return with investments to contribute your quota.
The big homes move the concrete affair to the village. I can hardly see any trees in the compound. Seems with time Nigeria will have no village. Chek out Kenya and see the village and the wealthy side. Greenery is key to ideal living.

Thank you for showing us part of Anambra State. Some homes are indeed massive and beautiful. But the dirt roads put them to shame. Why is nobody paving their roads? Have they never heard of asphalt roads? Do these citizens not pay any taxes to build infrastructure?
Anambra state has good roads, where I showed you is a village and not every village in Nigeria has good roads, some villages keep it that way because it helps draw the close to nature.
I am Kenyan and this is very normal in my country. Buying land to build a house in the city is expensive. That is why a lot of Kenyans ought to build their dream homes on their ancestral land.
It’s quite different here in Nigeria. They are not building houses in their villages because they can’t afford to own lands in the city. It’s more of a cultural thing than finances
Actually lands in my village in Anambra is more expensive than land in many cities in Nigeria. It is not about cost of lands. Also those Igbos who build mansions in the village already has houses in the city.
It is extremely expensive to lay down asphalt. It also causes drainage issues (which we unfortunately already deal with but it would be worse), damage to vehicles. Yes, these are already issues with dirt packed roads but they would be worse with poorly maintained asphalt. Imagine the damage from jagged asphalt edges would be far worse on vehicles and motorcycles.
Since childhood, I've always had a fear of large houses, especially those located in remote areas surrounded by dense bushes. The darkness of the night amplifies the terror I feel. However, as I've grown older, my preferences have shifted towards desiring a beautiful, modern house with a contemporary design, situated in a pleasant neighborhood with well-maintained roads and friendly neighbors. The idea of such a home brings me comfort and a sense of security, replacing the fear I once associated with secluded houses. Also, I will feel bad knowing that my surroundings neighbors are less privileged than I. {i hate being at the center on attention}. lol
The real reason dates back to the irrecoverable loss of lives, properties & family legacies during the Biafran war😢 The Igbos had to escape and leave everything behind...
Its true, my father always warned me not to build a house outside of Igboland due to the Biafran war whereby Igbo's were only given £20 regardless of prior wealth, and Igbo abandoned homes being taken away 😢
Building big houses in a village is good but the worse is what is the structure in the village such water station, hospital, environmental care and library plus school , parks and museum in the village to help those in need.Big houses without people is like a tomb.., cimetery Mentality...
@@mysterieuseenvoyee2432 you made no point at all. Who are you to tell people how to spend their money. That's who we are advice your people and leave Igbo alone
@@mysterieuseenvoyee2432 So plz can u tel us Abt ur own village n how they av build hospitals n other tins u mentioned, besides u ar nt in those villages to knw if they built all those things
Correct there mame, they build in selfish isolation, trying to out do each other, the hate is too much. If they could sit to plan things together it would be a lot more useful than just sprouting concrete anywhere and in any direction
A giant house with a dirt road. Can they be required to connect the road with each house that is built? I will admire this, but when the infrastructure is deemed important for each housing development it will be greater.
Building a road is a very expensive proposition, government and towns are more able to undertake such projects. Still if they bring their heads together, they can pave roads close to their homes.
show ur red muds and huts infested hungry man village this are class of mansions most of u goes to take picture in their front in the cities poor man with guts advising rich men how to spend their money is not a job go get job.
The local governments should help in urban planning of villages. There are many beautiful houses but lack of planning makes it difficult to see the beauty and serenity of the suburbs.
Same as Kisii Bantu people in Kenya whose ancestors immigrated from The Niger delta region.The Bantus most of them built home in acordance to the tradition and get buried their.
This is one of villages in Ihiala local government. Guy una too enter inside ooo. They want to see the city part of Ihiala and you are taking them to ose. I never reach that side.
Thank you for showing the world what igbo land looks like, haters of igbos from other region especially south west shld shows us their villages if you will not see mud houses with dilapidated brown roof everywhere all of them are in Lagos shouting our state our land even ppl from gbuogoo😂😂😂😂😂proudly Ada Biafra Igbo amaka.

@@walkwithsimon No E money is from anambra in ihiala local government not imo only his wife is from imo State ask others that know about them very well they will tell you the truth
We build mansions in our village because it is our ancestral homeland and all igbo men inherit land in their villages. After being massacred and kicked out of every part of Nigeria in 1966, we learnt our lesson and decided to always make sure we have comfortable house in our homeland. Now you know

Was Rome built in a day? What do you term unproductive? The mansions that is their permanent home and resting places during holidays? Lagos is what it is because of the location: Borderlands and Sea Port. Why are Osun, Ekiti, Ondo and Ibadan not like Lagos? The pride of any bonafide citizen should be his fatherland and whatever is invested there is never a waste of resources.
@@peterajogwu6185 Point taken! Lagos is an Atomic State with Innovative people from local, national and international territories. Place such a population anywhere within Nigeria 🇳🇬 and an innovative revolution, would permeate in an unprecedented fashion within any state in the country. The Man makes a Suit, the Suit does not make a Man! Any state has the potential to be Great! The boarder states, Osun, Ekiti, Ibadan, Ondo and the likes, can copy and paste Lagos without reinventing the wheel. But their past and present governments, are void of the Lagosian can do governance spirit! Hence, the apparent contrast is striking. One Love!
Guy be calming down with this your abriba way be like a street Kalu abriba is very very small to compare to ihiala I know you don’t like Anambra and Anambra no like you too
It’s an insult to compare Abiriba to any Anambra towns especially Anambra central and south Anambra is miles away from you guys, stop the competition cox one Anambra rich guy will buy the whole Abiriba and convert it to farm land
Am also from ariara my mothers side not to compare to some villages in Anambra.....oo Besides your houses are all together and very small village that why it looks beautiful Abriba is just a segment in one community in Anambra In terms of road ngige did wonders in most of Anambra villages including private individuals roads too.. Go to a place first before you conclude
@@Johnemmy344 shut up,have you been to abiriba before to say that it's just a segment. Abiriba is not just the area they show you o,i can even tell you that abiriba is bigger than ihiala. Abiriba is not as small as u think, come to abiriba and go round then you won't be able to make such statement. Proud peacock. Comparing Abiriba with ihiala is a letting down to Abiriba.
Lots in common indeed, but compared to other regions is it that Bad? this questionable "race" is one face of the coin but also bear in mind it shows how bad the management of our economies are by our government waisting such potentials, having no development ambitions whatsover.
It good to build in your village, but I just don't understand the economic sense of investing Billions in a house you only visited once in a year. Look at the dead Eze property with expensive cars rotten and the building rotten. Just for bragging rights?
I and my father visit our village house Weekly because we live in the nearest developed city of Onitsha, my village is in Okija ihiala local government. Some that live very far away like abroad or lagos mostly visit December or during festive season or ceremonies
@@walkwithsimon The subdivisions should be able to TAR their own roads -- let the government handle the maintenance of the Highways -- they can afford to TAR these roads within these MANSIONS
In one breath: "........but today we are exploring Ihiala, one of the villages where ........." In the next: "Ihiala is a city in Nigeria......" Please which is it? Ihiala is a village OR Ihiala is a city?
What is the point if having so much when you are living only to have all your worldly suff left to rotten, rust, and desolate. The roads are not pave. Much wasted space and not but greed of one person. Maybe these people are planning to take these stuff to their after life. What a waste of space.
There is no problem with igbos building big masons in the village because we suffered due to accommodation problems during the war and after. White people build holiday Houses in many places.

You did not mention that from the big entrance gate the late ezego single handly built and construct the road
It's was mentioned
Pls visit Nkwerre and Oguta in Imo state
Alright sir will definitely do that
I'm sure it'll be more beautiful than this place
Visit Oguta in Imo state,it’s beautiful and well planned
Your background music is awesome the sound it’s not loud it fits great job and thank you for sharing. 0:57
Beautiful and green. Get those roads tarred!
That's correct
It is extremely expensive to lay down asphalt. It also causes drainage issues (which we unfortunately already deal with but it would be worse), damage to vehicles. Yes, these are already issues with dirt packed roads but they would be worse with poorly maintained asphalt. Imagine the damage from jagged asphalt edges would be far worse on vehicles and motorcycles.
If you think asphalt is not appropriate, you can use bricks or cobble stones(which are more durable than tarred pavement) to pave the roads.
Am not Nigerian.. Forgive me for asking but isn't that supposed to be done by the government?
@@bella-qz6ls yes, but the government wont do it for you
Smiling, one of my tribes.
Since childhood, I've always had a fear of large houses, especially those located in remote areas surrounded by dense bushes. The darkness of the night amplifies the terror I feel. However, as I've grown older, my preferences have shifted towards desiring a beautiful, modern house with a contemporary design, situated in a pleasant neighborhood with well-maintained roads and friendly neighbors. The idea of such a home brings me comfort and a sense of security, replacing the fear I once associated with secluded houses. Also, I will feel bad knowing that my surroundings neighbors are less privileged than I. {i hate being at the center on attention}. lol
The real reason dates back to the irrecoverable loss of lives, properties & family legacies during the Biafran war😢 The Igbos had to escape and leave everything behind...
Its true, my father always warned me not to build a house outside of Igboland due to the Biafran war whereby Igbo's were only given £20 regardless of prior wealth, and Igbo abandoned homes being taken away 😢
Every Igbo Man want to build a good house in there home town...we are blessed people but our problem is the useless government.....
Building big houses in a village is good but the worse is what is the structure in the village such water station, hospital, environmental care and library plus school , parks and museum in the village to help those in need.Big houses without people is like a tomb.., cimetery Mentality...
Worry about your own village leave Igbo people alone. You are not Igbo so keep that thought to your self

The criticisers are likely the ones that came from popular mud villages i guess
Igbos bring your wealth investment mansion home
Wish up think of 2023 election violence 🧠
Protect the trees very important else it turns to a concrete jungle
That's correct
Correct there mame, they build in selfish isolation, trying to out do each other, the hate is too much. If they could sit to plan things together it would be a lot more useful than just sprouting concrete anywhere and in any direction
Now you are going to Eddeyso main house
A giant house with a dirt road. Can they be required to connect the road with each house that is built? I will admire this, but when the infrastructure is deemed important for each housing development it will be greater.
It's a big village, but the main roads are tarred
Building a road is a very expensive proposition, government and towns are more able to undertake such projects. Still if they bring their heads together, they can pave roads close to their homes.
You know nothing about nature. Dirt road? If only you knew the importance of that red earth to the human body
show ur red muds and huts infested hungry man village this are class of mansions most of u goes to take picture in their front in the cities poor man with guts advising rich men how to spend their money is not a job go get job.
The local governments should help in urban planning of villages. There are many beautiful houses but lack of planning makes it difficult to see the beauty and serenity of the suburbs.
Hello Simon, do you know how to move in?
Move in where?😂
@@walkwithsimon to one of these beautiful homes! Are they built but hundreds of people?
I’d like to move in to Igbo land!
You have pass,Edeson house ,the next house is Dunga house and that's my house
Wow, sir am surprised, your house is beautiful
@@walkwithsimon thank you
Am happy alist you show my home town umuowerri akwa
Go to nkwerre in imo state and documentary 😊
Same as Kisii Bantu people in Kenya whose ancestors immigrated from The Niger delta region.The Bantus most of them built home in acordance to the tradition and get buried their.
Ndigbo, move on, comeback home, build, unbuild and rebuild your homes as you like it, make your place the envy of those detractors sorounding you.
Monument to vanity.
BYOOODEFEL HOMES🎉😂❤
Aku rueulo
This is one of villages in Ihiala local government. Guy una too enter inside ooo. They want to see the city part of Ihiala and you are taking them to ose. I never reach that side.

It depends on the village
Sometimes If you go to some villagers , the build closely
Also sometime some of them build for there neighbors
So don't say what you don't know
But what do you want him to be doing in the village
Is this the America of Igbo land
That's vilage id!ot..make we see your own vilage
Empty mansions does not portend a great economy. Why not live there to improve the economic circumstances of the region?
What have you yourbas contribute in Nigeria at large, even since Igbos have been contribution in Nigeria economy, yourbas are not good in City and there not good there village, even yourba villages is empty and dirty all of you run and parked in Lagos doing Agboro job Mumu tribe, claiming king without crown Lazy and witchcraft tribe, your haterd well never ever bring down, The Great Igbo tribe excel golob world and nothing you can do except you go die because they are on Top even without them being president of Nigeria or no president, They are on Top

Mansions after mansions in the villages that don't the necessary infrastructures. Governors after Governors come and without the slightest thought of developing these villages.
Exactly, everyone is 100% patriotic on a UA-cam video, but the truth remains the complete opposite, a picture of selfishness.
What of E money house in ihiala
They are from imo state

@@philontimeoverseaslogistic3347 you can actually correct me without being rude
Where is the buildings, we are seeing nothing
We build mansions in our village because it is our ancestral homeland and all igbo men inherit land in their villages.
After being massacred and kicked out of every part of Nigeria in 1966, we learnt our lesson and decided to always make sure we have comfortable house in our homeland. Now you know
Just like bamilekies in Cameroon
Big Mansions lined with dirt roads. Poor infrastructure negates the prestige of the houses.
Big house but they can’t pave the streets? Cmon man.
We are not seeing the buildings
how do u call another man "all mighty"?
In one breath the presenter says : "......but today we are exploring Ihiala, one of the villages where ......."
In the next he continues : " Ihiala is a city in Nigeria.........."
Which is it? Ihiala is a village OR Ihiala is a city?
Your kind only looks for faults
They Need To Start Buidling Business Development In The East. Lagosians Want Yoruba Lands In Lagos. Everyone Should Go To Their States To Established Business Cities
What is stopping lagosians from establishing business…?? Why are you waiting for Igbos to leave . Start your own business.
after selling up ur father graves and squandering the money in marrying many wives and parties u wish to have them back more like eating ur cake and wanting back you should instead ask why most villages in ur region are linters with muds and huts every Yoruba now claim Lagos developed with all Nigeria resources Lagos is less than 2pcnt of south west what happens to other 98pcnt of ur region IGBOS have the business cities this is villages show ur poor village if u are not ashamed of it jealousy people
Give biafra her country or approve regional government with each region in control of thier resource then. Let's see how it goes. Anyhow capping
There's is nothing in this video that impresses me. The village still looks impoverish with few dotted expensive houses along poor unpaved roads...
Yoruba woman show us your dilapidated house in your vi, igbophobia will kill you.
@calistermadukwe7977 cmon keep quiet.
@talijahtalijah1258 please accept my apology on his behalf, feel free comment and to criticise ma.
Show us your village ooo with mud houses and brown roof, yorubastards, we go leave this country for una very soon
This is how cities starts mumu
Ihiala is not city yet just a beautiful town
Thats rights
This one is nothing self go to villages and see mordern houses am in abagana village anambra you will mistake it to city you will see multi billionare mansions in villages accrose south east
Beautiful landscape with sprawling empty Mansions. Only in Igbo land!
Lagos would not permit such an unproductive display of economic jamboree!
Was Rome built in a day? What do you term unproductive? The mansions that is their permanent home and resting places during holidays? Lagos is what it is because of the location: Borderlands and Sea Port. Why are Osun, Ekiti, Ondo and Ibadan not like Lagos? The pride of any bonafide citizen should be his fatherland and whatever is invested there is never a waste of resources.
@@peterajogwu6185 Point taken!
Lagos is an Atomic State with Innovative people from local, national and international territories.
Place such a population anywhere within Nigeria 🇳🇬 and an innovative revolution, would permeate in an unprecedented fashion within any state in the country.
The Man makes a Suit, the Suit does not make a Man!
Any state has the potential to be Great!
The boarder states, Osun, Ekiti, Ibadan, Ondo and the likes, can copy and paste Lagos without reinventing the wheel.
But their past and present governments, are void of the Lagosian can do governance spirit!
Hence, the apparent contrast is striking.
One Love!
It is better to make the jamboree at home than to make it for you people
The house painted ash is actually in Abiriba and I know the owner and not in ihiala
So one can not replicate in other places
Guy be calming down with this your abriba way be like a street
Kalu abriba is very very small to compare to ihiala
I know you don’t like Anambra and Anambra no like you too
Lol
Who told u that I don't like Anambra?
Even the new house he changed the background too painted white above is also in Abiriba
It’s an insult to compare Abiriba to any Anambra towns especially Anambra central and south
Anambra is miles away from you guys, stop the competition cox one Anambra rich guy will buy the whole Abiriba and convert it to farm land
Big house in the middle of nowhere very intelligent I bet there are constant break ins
This is their tradition that's been going on since a lot of their births so who are you to come along & insult it 🤨
So this is the bushes they came from
LoL
That's ihiala not small London Abiriba.
Make we see osun state wey thiefnubu from
Abiriba remain the best village in Igboland. No good road in Ihiala
God bless you
Am also from ariara my mothers side not to compare to some villages in Anambra.....oo
Besides your houses are all together and very small village that why it looks beautiful
Abriba is just a segment in one community in Anambra
In terms of road ngige did wonders in most of Anambra villages including private individuals roads too..
Go to a place first before you conclude
@@Johnemmy344 shut up,have you been to abiriba before to say that it's just a segment.
Abiriba is not just the area they show you o,i can even tell you that abiriba is bigger than ihiala.
Abiriba is not as small as u think, come to abiriba and go round then you won't be able to make such statement.
Proud peacock.
Comparing Abiriba with ihiala is a letting down to Abiriba.
@@Johnemmy344 even the house they use to do the background of this video is in Abiriba
@@Johnemmy344 there's nothing in ihiala
Like Mbamilekés in Cameroon / nonsense
Lots in common indeed, but compared to other regions is it that Bad? this questionable "race" is one face of the coin but also bear in mind it shows how bad the management of our economies are by our government waisting such potentials, having no development ambitions whatsover.
It good to build in your village, but I just don't understand the economic sense of investing Billions in a house you only visited once in a year. Look at the dead Eze property with expensive cars rotten and the building rotten. Just for bragging rights?
Who told you it's only once they visit home, keep quiet if don't know what to say
I and my father visit our village house Weekly because we live in the nearest developed city of Onitsha, my village is in Okija ihiala local government. Some that live very far away like abroad or lagos mostly visit December or during festive season or ceremonies
all we here you saying nobody live inside nobody live inside what are you trying to say please be happy with good things n be cool
Try and watch full video before you drop comments, understanding is key

So Igbos are basically the Kwahus of Ghana.
Let us leave God's way not the devil's way is not good just look at beautiful places

Another primitive village in Anambra to silent those comparing their villages with Abiriba. No wonder they (Nde Anambra) refers to Abiriba as town.
😂😂😂 this one go pain some people ooooh
Go carry cup
Childish comment, is anyone competing with you?
Abiriba can not complete with Agukwu nri. Osumenyi. Ozubulu.Ndiowu. Nnewi/ Agulu Dey play. Abia people complete with Anambra lol 😆 😂. Werey
Abiriba remains the best and not all this hype men villages with evil forests and snakes surrounding them 🤣🤣🤣😂

What is the point if having so much when you are living only to have all your worldly suff left to rotten, rust, and desolate. The roads are not pave. Much wasted space and not but greed of one person. Maybe these people are planning to take these stuff to their after life. What a waste of space.
There is no problem with igbos building big masons in the village because we suffered due to accommodation problems during the war and after. White people build holiday Houses in many places.
Cheap land, low or no taxes? Shouldn’t be an issue to return where you come from.
