New Year 2008 in a Nigerian Village (music by Circleslide)

[IfImBeingHonest]

God Bless Nigeria.

[omoibile]

Seeing those happy kids shows they enjoy the natural lifestyle...

[eddyabali]

That looks so much like my village. I guess they all look alike. I miss the village so much . .

[muzungu108]

Wooo! its just like country side in Russia.. Only difference - in our villages only old people are left... all young went to cities. But seems in Nigeria village life is not that boring! And you don' t have winters :P

[rojovanna]

not all 9ja is like this anyway even here in romania at the country side u can find something like this too :P

[ecblack4]

I've been to a number of places in Europe and Central America that have a similar way of life. The video isn't intented to criticize. I live in a Nigerian city and I actually enjoy going to the village for peace and quiet. There is more to life than good roads, steady lights, and McDonalds.

[hinnies1]

yeah u right ,i don't know what is wrong with some people they are just being paranoid.

[lordcimek]

Infact i really like it when foreigner visit us in Nigeria and are happy with us...It makes me feels so happy.

[jnwokeoma]

This looks like Anambra state

[sassychioma]

Johniwuji this is one of the poorest villages , most igbo home towns are almost like cities.

[nelvette4u]

no most villages look like this..and aint nothin wrong with that..i hate when ppl try to only talk about the nice and upscale places when those are few and far inbetween.. I love Nigeria for its rich and poor places..so dont try and act like eerbody livin in mansions or sumtin..

[sassychioma]

nelvette4u there is nothing wrong with this village its a normal village. i don,t know where you come  from maybe you are hausa or yoruba etc. am talking about igboland here e.g abiriba, awka etiti, oji, itchi, obosi, ngwo, aku etc, to name but few are igbo villages that are almost like cities.

[nelvette4u]

ok...idk what ur saying now, but b4 u said this is one of the poorest villages, and i said "no" that a lot of villages look like this nd its fine, so how can u say this is the poorest nd most are not like this, im igbo and u jus mentioned awka(a capital city)...we are not talking bout cities we talkin bout villages, and these are how most villages look..it is not the poorest!

[sassychioma]

Read my comment before you reply. awka - etiti is different fom awka(capital). awka - etiti, abiriba, aku, ngwo etc are villages but they are almost like cities. believe it or not its true nwannem

[nelvette4u]

wateva..im done

[johniwuji]

we are still backwards

[adunbarin4]

Not from where I sit. From my seat, I see happily proud people.

[iwuji]

so dont u agree wit me?

[adunbarin4]

Nope, I don't agree with you. Advancement is overpriced. What is the point of advancement when u lose the very soul of your community? The neighborliness, the abandonment with which children live their daily lives, the collective responsibilities? I wont trade that for highrise buildings, fast cars, large paved roads and all the trappings of advancement.

[impodds]

Who said both advancement and nature cannot coexist. Need i remind you, that before we were not formally educated.

[africcafooolife]

[anthonette50]
