- This is the first time I am taking a walk around my dad's village. I was taken around by my cousin. My cousin moved to the village about 15 yrs ago and has since gone into politics. I hope it works out for him.
I gave money to my cousin to help rebuild the burial place of my dad. Hopefully, he will do it for us.
I hope you guys like the video and that you find it entertaining.

Khara Sir, I hope you will one day do a tour of Ekpoma..... Great to hear you are Esan.
My broda, Ene gbe? Nice to hear from you bro. I wanted to come but was told that the road is very bad. I will wait for the dry season maybe the drive on the road will be better.
Great stuff bro.
This is my village. I was there after 28th years away living abroad. Ewohimi has change a lot for the better.
I actually build a standard house in the village in 2015. I really enjoy myself when I was in the village few months back.
I intend going home often with my family
When I was in the village I took the warri train to Itakpe kogi. It was fun.
Thanks for sharing bro.
Wao interesting. So nice to meet you bro. I was glad I visited and now have plans to do something at home.
My late uncle ,driver called Ewohimi to Lagos, " from Amahor, used to live here, and as a kid ,I used to visit this town. Good memories.
Wao interesting. I'm glad the video brought you good memories 💕.
Proud of you. It’s difficult to visit village when parents are diseased. As you said, meet with your brothers to set up something. You have to build. I pray God will provide you resources to set up something. Once you have house, believe me you will be visiting.
*deceased
Thank you 🙏 bro
@@Bigwillz Hi Bigwillz, I just ran into this video and was highly surprised! I'm from Ewohimi too. The Onogie of Ewohimi is my cousin. His late father and my late father (Prince Martin Okoyomo Enosegbe) were brothers. My father's house is not far from the Palace.
I'm really elated to find a video about my village on RUclips.
@@wmartin1998 Amazing, I'm so glad to hear so and connect with you.
Wow great video bro. That's my mom's village. Thanks for sharing
💕💕💕
Homecoming can be nostalgic, especially seeing graves of loved ones.😢😭😢
Bitter sweet: you handled it quite well, BigWillz!!
Thank you bro. 🙏🙏🙏
Woow Esanland, brought back memories.The time spent in Esan most have shaped my life that l live in a village now in England.l prefer village life for sure. I use to eat a lot of those bush mango, miss them till today. My mom is from Esan as well not far from your bad's village. It's funny your uncle said "vinegar, the one they gave to jesus" . Well, Esan/benin wrote the Bible. Many people don't believe me, but they will when they wake up from the deception of religion.. Topic for another day! Thank you.
I'm so glad to hear that this video brought you good memories.
I agree with you that village life is cool.
Please subscribe if you haven't already. It will be nice to have you as a family member. Thanks
Beautiful village life. I can see you were taken aback by these village experiences. One thing with villages in Africa is it is always there for you. Never too late for anything. I like your village - very cool.
Thank you 🙏 bro
I know all this area well.
I play around this place but I'm agagada side but due to party night and days we romanrow around this area.

bross you need to develop your father legacy
I will go do something on my dad's land hopefully this year. And I will be documenting all I will be doing.

Thank you, my brother. I am making plans to build at home. Home sweet home.
Thank you for your kind words.
Wow, am from auchi, etsako west. The last time I was there is 1996. My parents live in Jos. So nobody to visit home. But I hope to go with my dad for Easter next year.
It's the same with me too. My parents gave birth to us in Kaduna and they never took us home. We have to find our way home.
wow, congratulations !! Getting your origin and heritage is amazing, especially now you can show it to your children.
👍❤️
So Bigwillz you are Esan man? It feels so good to hear people speak Esan language and even see a village like this. it reminds of me of alot of things . I am from Ohordua and the last time i have been to the village is over 30 yrs ago. I am so happy with this video and see even Fulanis living ad doing business in Ewohimi.
Esan Oyeeeee
Oyeeeeeeeee.
Yes o. Esan man for life.
It was nice visiting my dad's resting place after so many years. I hope to visit again this year to do some building work there.
And it's nice to meet you too.
My Brother i envy you, home coming is a good thing... Obokhian obhi aba. Let us talk.. Your uncle is a good man.. I love him...
Okpia e ne gbe? Nice to hear from you guys.
Esan oyeee,that is Eguare Ewohimi,..
Nice to meet you,
Nice to meet you too my lovely sis
Is good wen one has lovely relatives to make u feel welcome wen u visit 😊😊😊
Definitely
BigWillz,Your brother is a very nice man, and you came from a very nice and beautiful village, BigWillz you need to do something you most show the world that you are the true son of your great father,May his soul rest in perfect peace amen, Just do something similar but unique.MY BROTHER,MAY GOD ALMIGHTY CONTINUES TO BLESS YOU AND ACCOMPLISHED YOUR FATHER'S AMEN.
What do you want him to prove and to whom?
Is being an upright and hardworking son not enough?
External and unnecessary pressures are what push people over the edge.
How did our grandfathers do (materially) to show they are worthy sons of their respective fathers?
Okpia, bodiaye? I am blessed by this video. My house is at idumekhai idumegho not too far from market square.
Odianose my bro. Wao interesting. That's nice to know. When I visit again I will visit your place.
Well done bigwillz. Happy to know you are Esan like myself. Keep on the good work, and hopefully we catch up someday.
Thank you bro. 💖💖💖
Love this. Doing this with the Erudite Oduma gives it even more colour. He is a good man.
💯
I could fee your emotions from here when you worked back from the backyard after seeing the huge vegetation on the walls of the house!
I wish I have the resources, I will start work there immediately.
Uche, I felt the same too. Willz and family are blessed and doing their best.
Nice video . Good to see Ewohimi again. after 29 years
Waooo. I was glad I visited.
Omia baaaaaa.
Well done, welcome back home. your uncle is nice.
So much love from my people 💖💖💖
So you are my brother I have been watching your video for long I didn't know you are from the same village with me
Yes I am. So so nice to hear from you. 💕💕
Rest In Peace to your father🙏🏿I genuinely enjoy your village videos. What a beautiful environment. The medicinal plants are a good source of natural remedies.
@Tito, thank you very much bro
Wow ???!!! So you are Esan man Ewohimi like myself. Oh am so so proud of you. I actually thought you were igbo. I was at Ewohimi last two months of ago
Wao interesting. Nice to meet you bro 🙏 🙏
Chai history kawai. Thank you for sharing with us.
You are welcome sir.
Impressive video that leaves me speechless.
There are some dynamics associated with village life. That can make many weary of going back. But I think you've overcome, it's really a FAITH WALK if you ask me.
I commend you . You will be BLESSED, it's said, "Honour your Father and Mother that it might be well with you and your days made long".
That's the word of God, you are Blessed.
Thank you very much!
I see many encouraging words of support.
Support with actions is true blessings, maybe you should set up a Gofundme account.
Memorial fund to my Father in Ewohimi, that should help build a good and decent house.
If just a thousand subscribers donated £10 that would be £10k converted to Naira would be a good start.
My suggestion is in good faith, let's see.
@@konukonu6368 I truly appreciate your comment and suggestions. I will be honored if you can set it up for me and I can make a video about it and share the link so people can support if they want to. What do you think? Please let me know. Thanks once again
@@Bigwillz I am one of those people that believes in truth and honesty. In addition I feel it's not enough to be honest but one must be seen to be honest.
Getting involved in an a fund raiser, leaves me with trepidation. Giving for me is my preferred option.
What I can say is, how can I gauge interest to determine I'm not alone in my thinking.
Thanks bro you reminded me of my village
❤️❤️
I also wish to visit uromi also someday
That will be cool
I truly inspired by your videos, well done
Thank you 🙏 🙏
I'm**
God bless you so much ❤
Thank you
Welcome home. I hope you bond well.
Yes, I did. Thank you bro.
Good job
Thank you
Nice village setting. It's refreshing
💕💕
Sure it is bro
Your content is great. I love watching and viewing our cities and villages online. I have been following you since the year 2020. I wouldn't mind you visiting Ievbu/Ake to showcase it's rich Edo culture and the beautiful rocks.
Thank you for the follow and the support. Appreciated.
I think I have to do a complete Edo state vlog. Thanks for watching and commenting.💕💕
Are you from Ake Ievbu?
@@gideonakhogbai7320 I guess he is from there.
DO BASIC TWO BEDROOMS AND USE TREES and flowers make it more beautiful !!!!! but try to secure documents for that land , that land is more important than any land you have or want to buy in abuja , is a family land , from generation to generation, to secure cofo in edo is easy and cheap
Noted and thank you bro.
May his soul rest in peace Amen 🙏🏾. I just lost mine last week Tuesday 😭😭. May their souls rest in peace Amen 🙏🏾 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Sorry for your loss. May his soul rest in peace. Amen
@@Bigwillz Amen 🙏🏾 bro
I’m from
okiangben.
@@Seed318 wao. Interesting.
We are bros.
This looks like road to ewatto …because I got to visit my village for the first time ewatto esan this year for my grandma’s burial
Wao...Sorry about your grandma. I believe you will have a good time there.
No Ewatto is after Ikeken,this place is Eguare
Welcome home Sir 🙏
Thank you
Nice video. Thanks for sharing. I have some questions
What about power? What about the cuisine? What about access road? Is the place safe? Can they communicate in English ?
Is the soil fertile what things grow naturally? What crops can some plant there for commercial purpose? Is there lands for plantation size farming?
Everything you asked for is there, talking about fertile land, that's a very funny question to ask from a place with enough food for it's community.
I’ll visit here someday
👍
No. One bundle of zinc will NOT cover the houses roof. My 14’ x 10’ took 1 1/2 bundles. Good luck.
By the time we got a Carpenter, I had to pay some additional money. But the unfortunate thing is that the job was not done. I hope to go and get it done myself.
Nice one
Is there a river in this community?
If there is, please tell me what it's called
I have never been there before but I was told that ewohimi is my maternal home
@AguCharles-i7n, it's nice to meet a brother. There is a river, it's called River Odu. It's the major source of water for the community.
Thank you for watching and commenting.
Hello sir this is my original village sir I plan to return to the village Sir
Me too. I plan to some day soon go build a small house on my dad's land.
@Bigwillz I want to set up a farm there but I don't know if they will allow
The house you entered is in idumuje,
💯👍
Hmmmm so cool
Thank you dear.
How far have you gone with the project where your dad is buried?
I have to go back there again to complete the project myself as the money I gave for the project was not used, I was told many stories. My plan is to go back some time early next year to complete it. Thank you for asking.🙏🙏🙏
@@Bigwillz NEVER give money to ANYONE to do something for you as they will spend it on themselves and tell you stories. I have learn not to thrust anyone EVER!
When all the loves are gone 😢😢Home?
I miss home ooo
Home sweet home
ANY TIME YOU GO BACK HOME MAKE SURE YOU BRING YOUR WALLET WITH YOU, IT IS THE SAME EVERY WHERE, THERE IS USUALLY A LOOOOONG LIST
You are right my bro. It's the same everywhere.
❤❤❤
💖💖💖💖 it's been a while.

Good morning. I really want to know your father’s name please. I saw Oduma Ogierua introducing you in my Mom family houses and community.
If we can do this off line.

I was not around when he passed .May his soul rest in peace.
Wao interesting.
