But they should rescue the mansion now in their father's memory,it's a shame that no one cares after all the financial sacrifices their father did.This should also teach us the younger generation that we shouldn't be building these kind of mansions in villages,Igbo people are fund of this, building cathédrales in villages that will fall in ruins after they are gone.lt's totall nonsense.

[@anonnona6433]

This needs us all to do some self reflection and look further ahead because this is what is happening in my village. Big houses and big chunks of land have been abandoned once the owners are no more. The young people are in the big cities. The land is lying there unproductive partly due to the dysfunction in many families 🤷‍♂️

Do you have any idea how much it will cost to restore that mansion to it former glory, what if they don't have that type of money or as far as they are concerned, there are more important priorities, such as their families, are you saying they should abandon their important priorities and put funds to a place they rarely visit.

Am a strong believer that the dead still come around to visit and have meetings in their place of residence. It might look old and rusty or in ruins to some but this place still shines and tells the tales of the people who lived or gathered there. Summer, may this journey bring all the healing your soul needs and may you find true comfort and fresh memories to hold on too. Ur mom is a true tropper, she is holding on to all she has but living and dead and that whats making her strong. Big hugs to her and thanks for sharing this. Its not easy taking us back in time and it also shows how we should cherish the old. I would rate this as one of the best videos i have watched on you tube in a long while.

You can also turn the place to a flat some of the local can live there cheaper rent seriously is a waste of space.

[@TeeCokes]

Nice tour. Beautiful house, beautiful memories. The garage where the old car is parked is crumbling due to the trapped heat and humidity. It is best to open the doors to prevent further damage. Advice your siblings to sell the old car for scrap because the fumes from the heat, humidity and deteriorating metal are not so great especially in a that enclosure.
