  • 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.

    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.

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.

      Memorial fund to my Father in Ewohimi, that should help build a good and decent house.
