Thanks for sharing sis. Remain strong for mama. Love you sis🙏🏿
This is just to remind us that everything is vanity and those of us thinking that destroying others to acquire wealth is the best just know that at the end of the road everything is vanity
my dear... it's a message, oh!hmm
Thank you ❤️
Your father definitely was a big and rich man in his days. We thank God for everything.
Your mum had gone through a lot of pain, may she age with grace and be happy ❤
AMEN
Summer ur mom is more than gold and Diamond put together. Against all odds she's still strong and moving. U n ur surviving siblings should keep on celebrating her non stop.
Your father was a very rich man back in the days, 2 stories building consisting of 21 rooms is not a baby walk. Life indeed is vanity. Be strong, and thank you for taking us through this memory lane.
I can't imagine how magnificent this house looked during your Dad's life. So sad seeing it in ruins 😢 21 bedrooms!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why did you guys abandon your father's house, why is it in ruins?
@@nonyeosi2446expensive maintaining such a huge house when siblings dnt live there.
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.
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 🤷♂️
Pls leave her alone. She is used to village life
Only people that have lost loved ones will understand, especially if you live in diaspora.
Absolutely! I live in the diaspora (UK) and I can relate to this video because my story is very similar; lost both parents, 2 siblings, and now the only surviving son. watching your video made me sad and I feel like visiting home as well as I haven't been for about 20 years now.
@@christophernwachukwu6972 20 years is a long time. Please plan to visit.
Your mom is still strong and fit
Please preserve those pictures.
@@amazinggrace2117 All those things can be artifacts of useful records for grand and great grand children .
you can suggest to your brothers to renovated the house and the compound even if they needed assistance from all of you they women, i know you will happily join to put the place in order. is just a suggestion.
A very good suggestion!
You dnt know their financial status. Naija economy is really hard now
Exactly
@@toksakinyemi7350Even those richer than you will claim that they don’t have and be expecting you to do it alone because you live outside Nigeria.
@@tinachizo6944 you are so right, I'm experiencing that as we speak. No one wants to let you know they have 1 naira. To them by virtue of you been abroad, you are a rich person.
I reflected on life and i agree with the psalmist that all is vanity,let us not bear grudges with siblings,we live once.let us appreciate each other and fear God.
I lost my dad two years ago so i understand her pains ,guys its so heartbreaking to loose a parent especially the ones you're very close to. Life is short, cherish every moment because its a gift , forgive quickly and make yourself happy always ❤
I love the way you say “that’s my father” I hope my daughter can have this joy and pride when talking about her father
Summer, I've said it before, you're one of the person I've seen with the purest heart. You have the heart of angle. Pure, nice, kind and loving. You're an adult now, but you have the heart of a little child.
What a narration! I am so glad you made this trip😊. Hopefully, the visit heal all your emotional pains & wipe away your tears, my dear❤.
The house need renovation Aku. He must have been a good man
Ms Summer, Ur mom is so beautiful and still strong. Thank God u made d journey to see ur mom. Enjoy her when it last u are so lucky to meet ur mom.
I am so impressed that at your mothers elderly age, she is very independant.
21 rooms that house is massive!
For the sake of your dad, you can rehabilitate the house close to its original state, upgrade the roof, paint and provide comfort to your mom. I feel your pain Summer. May the Lord comfort you 🙏🏾
The house is very strong . For the sake of present and future generations, your brothers need to keep this house strong. It holds many memories that money can not buy.
No place like home.
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.
@oluakinwale4859 People live upstairs. So they can maintain it. I hope her brothers get the courage, and then Summer assists them. If she opens, go fund me . I will donate abeg. No place like home ,jaree.
@@InGodwetrust365 my point is; no need to build such huge houses that will then become a burden on others. People live upstairs but what about the rest of the property? You are lost to the point l am making obviously, no one say "home should be ignored or abandoned".
Your picture by your mum's bedside is also a reflection that she always pray for you. Her prayers can also be protecting & leading you..She is a pretty & strong woman, with lots of painful & happy moments. Enjoy & cherish her while she is still here.
Sister Summer please be strong at least you still have mama with you. I have lost my father, my younger brother and my mother the same year. In all things let's just praise God!
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.
Sending hugs from Brooklyn New York. I was on this journey with you. Very much heart felt and thanks for sharing.
Summer I can see why your mum don’t want to leave the village it’s such a beautiful and peaceful place.
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.
If she offered you Anything i will advise you take them, when my mum passed I was unable to visit home when I visited i had nothing from my mum. Summer thank you for sharing such a beautiful memories, arrange with the family leaving local at least Annual painting that will maintain the legacy of the family house. You can also turn the place to a flat some of the local can live there cheaper rent seriously is a waste of space.
Stay strong aburo🙏🏿 Wow!!! I told you to stay strong but saw your dad’s car brought back flush of memories growing up in Lagos riding with my late dad in the mid 70’s got emotional typing this comment in tears🙏🏿 Looking at your dad’s picture sreminds me they simply don’t make them like this no more. Eternal life dad until we see on the other side🙏🏿
Summer you have honoured your father and sisters spirit, God bless you dear🙏💝🇬🇧
Summer, I agree with you. I am a woman from Igbo land. The land and the house are inherited by the sons/ men. Have a family forum and encourage your brothers to agree together to renovate the rooms and rent it out.
The law has changed now Women have right to part of their parents lands and houses
@@dirialbert7062your right! If the brother’s are not capable of renovating the house 🏡 she can assist by doing that! In my own village Anambra state! We can’t live our family house like this!
@@emeliaobiedelu5900Nne thank you. She is alive & her father's house has been abandoned & she is not ashamed to show it like that to the world.
@@dirialbert7062Law has not changed in my place. The women cannot inherit anything from their fathers house.
She can provide money for the renovation but it ends there, no right nor inheritance. If u have bad siblings, even after spending millions to renovate n u want to talk anyway u would be reminded that u have no right there
@@JD-oz6nq Is it not you guys who say women cannot inherit from their fathers ,so women can only inherit "expenditure" let the men do it since they are considered by tradition as superior.
Summer, your Igbo dialect sounds exactly like where I’m from. I won’t be surprised if we r from the same village. This was so emotional to watch. I love the series.
Your parents looks so beautiful and royal strong black people. It will be well. Thank you for taking us on this journey with you. Your siblings are proud of you, their body is gone but their souls watch over you ❤.
Mama can open a market . My aunty was like that. Collecting all those gifts from abroad and then giving them to people.
Take heart. He obviously lived a great and fulfilled life.
You just continue to build on his legacy.
Cheers
God have mercy on us all this life is nothing this make me cried , when I remembered my parents.This life is vanities. May your daddy soul continuing to rest in peace. Till we part no more. Life is a teacher I learned from this video. Thanks sis for sharing this memory with us❤
Wouldn’t it be great to convert that house into an attraction or a mini museum. Recovering all those furniture to their original state!!
My dad died 40 years ago and I don’t have too many physical memories left!
Blessed to reflect on these!
Thank you so much for sharing!
It will be nice but, at the moment it is not safe to do so because of security issues
I understand that! Only a thought. It would be a huge project anyway. But would be nice for them if it was possible.Best!
Which museume for village weh motocar no they go????who will visit such a museum??people never see food eat they go di visit na muséum for village.
So which part of that comment did you not understand?. I said “wouldn’t it be great”. I did not say “You should”.
I can say “wouldn’t it be great if somebody gives me $1million.”
How realistic is that?
Just a thought!!
Best!
@@nfundoakrachel4425😂😂😂😂😂😂 good question. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I really enjoyed the documentary. thank you for reminding us that life is short and no matter what we become, no matter what we do, it will become history some day. It pays to do our best and leave impeccable memories behind. Well done sis.
Summer it is well. Twenty one rooms! Enough rooms to contain all Papa's children, and grandchildren. That's the dilemma naija parents of modern days face. Parents build large houses to accommodate all their children in life. Unfortunately children grow up will like to build their own houses.
Your father is so so rich during his time
Don't cry, Summer. I lost 2 junior ones while I was abroad. Please don't cry
I lost an older sister a younger sister and my mum while I was in the UK. It was though, I had to be strong but I still cry in my heart sometimes.
May the Lord comfort you.
@@tejutoyin8770 Amen🙏🏽
Thank You so much Summer for sharing your private moments with us❤ It is a real shame that the house is in disrepair!! Sometimes the tradition can be an hinderance for progress. I have fallen in love with your Ankhcestral home. It would be good if the Mansion could be fixed and you then could invite us - the African Diaspora to come home to Africa - Nigeria and stay there for holidays. I am so happy you went back to the house of your birth. I m a new subscriber and will watch the previous videos of your journey. keep up with the good work.
Your dad was definitely handsome. I feel sad seeing all these memories. They may not have been the best looking structures and environment, but the memories were epic. So sorry for your loss Summer 😢😢
Your mother was absolutely beautiful 😍
I've never commented summer and this is my 1st. This video is very good to remind us of the vanity of life. Eternal life is the real pursuit of earth. This is why I sell my properties as I move from place to.place. no need for all these acquisitions. Just look at this mansion....wow
I don cry tire for your videos. So emotional.
Hi Summer, glad your sisters took you back home. Your video is so moving. Make the Lord continue to order your footsteps. You have definitely had a life changing experience and the way you see life will be different from now on.
Your father was a great man, unfortunately we abandoned our ancestorial home and scarter all over the world
Summer is not easy, whenever you see their pictures it breaks your heart. is forever memory.
Summer I can really relate with you!
We grew up around the same time in Nigeria and my parents are also gone .Many things happens within a space of short time 😢😢😢
Tell your mum she is the homecoming queen of her time,may she live very long in good health...Amen
Having lost both of my parents this was very tough to watch. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome, you brought old memories back. I shed tears with you as I think of my own parents and older sisters who are gone. May their souls rest in peace.
I love you Summer! So much closure for me although my dad recently passed and my mom lives abroad. This is so emotional for me❤
Summer! I cried with you 😢 Ndo nwanne m! What a journey. I'm so sorry for your losses. I feel you nwanne m. I'm glad you made the journey too. It's important. Ọdi mkpa. ❤️ and tight 🫂
Pele summer, life is feeble and death is inevitable for all of us. We will live, laugh, Love. Live life to the fullest, impacting life's with our God-giving vision and purpose. May the souls of all the departed souls rest in peace. Including my own mother too.
I couldn't hold back my tears going on this journey with you, it makes me realize that this world is vanity. The only memories we will cherish is the love we share with families and love ones. Let's do well to love people
With the way the world is heading, You might need that property, I hope you never sell it, There's a space to grow your food... I'm South African , this will probably not make sense to you, but your ancestors are probably watching over you, and happy you are home. Thank you for sharing. Summer be honest, don't you wish to return back , grow your food and live an easy life ?
you make sense but Nigeria is not like South Africa as you can see on other videos she was afraid maybe they might kidnap her. There are a lot of stories of people going back to Nigeria after their retirement and are kidnapped and demanded some money and end up being killed by those who kidnapped them .its a sad story
@@preciousisiguzo2052rubbish talk
These documented memories are a master piece. I didn't blink even once. There's a deep nostalgic cord it strikes watching. Many thanks for sharing.
21 bed rooms in those days? Who does that? It must only be a rich and wealthy man that could be able to do such!
This is amazing! Your Dad really laid a good legacy with his life and contribution to the family and entire village before he left. It is well.
I so get you my sister, my heart breaks every time i remeber the house my father worked so hard for in the village, running to ruins because of insecurity. I cried with you here😢
Sister summer, I didnt follow your previous stories of your home tour after several years,but this one got my attention pronto.Your dad was certainly a rich man during his time to have build such a massive house in the village. That the house was abandoned is a common scene today both in the village and city.We build mansions here and there thinking that the children would take over.When children grow up they leave to start their own life and family.Your story is thought provoking and should serve as a lesson for all and sundry.
Your father was very handsome
Summer, this is so lovely memories you make for yourself of your family your mom is such a beautiful woman when she was young nice. Nothing in this life last forever that is life for you
Oh wow absolutely touching and emotional video. Thank you for sharing your memories with us❤️❤️❤️
Summer has already said that she is focusing on her mum and the part of the house that bongs to mum...the rest belongs to her brothers. She cannot be expected to renovate the house that her children will never inherit...thats not fair,is it?
Ur mentality is toxic,, yes the brothers supposed to fix the house, nd what if they dnt have ? Nd if Summer has what it takes to fix it, so she shudnt do that simply bcos her kids won't inherit anything,,, she still belong to that family nd always welcomed there , so if she has what takes , then let her discuss wit other siblings ...
Stop crying my lovely sister. I feel you.thank you for taking care of Mom.God bless you
You can keep your dad's memory alive by restoring the house. That car could be worth millions as an antique. The dead live through their offsprings who keep their legacy alive. The Lord is your strength, Sister.
I feel so sad when i enter family houses that i knew growing up, that were full of the hustle and bustle of members, and are now virtually empty.
We miss our dear departed mostly becos of our interactions with them during their life times. Its normal to cry, but are discouraged from doing so becos we are told the departed feel our pain when we do so. We may shed tears on rememberance, but it's good to always say a prayer for them, as well. They're in a better place.
Your video brought back to me my 1st visit to the east (Enugu). The greenery! Everywhere!i absolutely loved it! Second, at a nearby village; i loved the fact that every family has its own "adequate space" around their houses, and the village is spread out, not that all the village houses are simply clumped together, side by side.
Thanks so much for the tour.
This is a very rich building he was a rich man may you live long may your children and grand children be great full for what you have done for them.
It is better to start refurbishing and renovating the house because time is coming when every foreigner abroad will go back to their motherland.
Just talk to your brothers to renovate the building or you can help them to do it because is your father's hard earned money which you people should not allow it to just go down,at least your mum is alive she will still enjoy the house now she is alive,I have the same experience my siblings have to renovate the building before my father's death and I was at forefront to see that the renovation was done at least your father were ever he is he will be proud of you people, receive strength to Carry it out in Jesus name amen 🙏🙏
Wow!!!! It is so great that your family preserved the memoirs. I can imagine how you felt. Very emotional 😭 .Reminds me of when I went home and had to visit my father’s home and could not hold my tears when I saw their graves!! My father’s name was also AKA Akajiaku
So nostalgic .I haven't been myself since watching this video cos it reminds me of my own family and for those of us alive it just a matter of time to leave this world..May all our departed souls RIP..The peace I use to enjoy in the village ehn😂😂😂
This made me so emotional dear take heart they are with the almighty father
Nostalgia, that light holder on the wall reminds me of my grandma' s storey building. May God bless your mum with good health. And give her more successful years to enjoy her Children
These videos always bring tears to my eyes. I lost my mom last year and haven’t been home in almost 11 years I don’t know how I’ll feel when I go back home. She was my everything and the pain is still very much present. May God sustain all who are going through this same situation.
You cried, it touched me, the relics of your late great father holds great memories that connect deep into your soul. Say a prayer in his honour while you are in there. May God continue to rest his soul....
Please Summer that house needs urgent renovation. Your brothers need to think home. A monument for his grand Children.
That Village surroundings look very serene and beautiful. I miss my home in the village. 🎉
Please i support the renovation for the sake of your mum who is still living in the house. It must not be a magnificent one but just do some touches.
Thank you for sharing this with us Summer. It's so deep and I am glad you dropped your fears and went home (your igbo home). This is a natural healing process for you. Well done. I love the village setting, so original and deep. Be consoled too... we can see this is not easy at all for you.
This is a stunning property with so much potential. All it needs is a little T.L.C . Please, please do not throw anything away. I would imagine alot of stuff is more than 50yrs.
Worst case scenario clean & dump things in metal Storage trunks/unit preserve things forever. 🤣🤣Mama is too busy physically and emotionally to travel anywhere.
I want to say a big thank you for this video. I cant remember the last time I enjoyed a video like this and wished it doesn't ever come to an end. I reside here in the US too , I've lost both parents and two sisters...so I do feel your pain. My heart breaks every time I remember them and sometimes wished I could just have them back for 10 mins. Like you rightly said, we need to be aware of our mortality and take this life for what it really is...TRANSIENT. I'm sorry for your two sisters, I pray God grant them and your dad eternal rest. Happy that you still have your mum, enjoy her please. Again, thank you.
This really brought tears from my eyes. Losing my both parents is not easy......, haven't healed up till now
😢 This was a very emotional vlog. This will help with your healing process. I can image what that house must have looked like. It is well. I love seeing old photos. I have thousands. I was just going through some ❤ Thank God for blessed memories ❤🎉
I rarely comment on S Media but I couldn’t help it after watching this. Dear Summer thanks for sharing with us your journey and reminding us of the futility of life!
May God help us to see that it’s only what we do for Him that counts. I pray that we make the right choices and on that final day, hear from God, *Well done good and faithful servant, enter into my rest*
I pray that God will meet your Mum at her point of need & bear her on eagle’s wings in Jesus Name, Amen.
I pray that it will be well with you too. Take care and God keep you.
Summer may you live lomg...I believe strongly beyond all we see here...your near death experience triggered a lot in you. I speak life over you and will be praying for you.❤❤❤
I felt your pain in this video. It’s the exact way way I felt when I visited my late Father’s house. It was sad and I cried a lot. May the souls of the departed in your home rest in peace. This video hit me in a different way. I miss my Dad a lot 😭😭😭😭😭.
My dear sister Summer, if you are able to renovate it do it, it represents your father. Your brother today is youe father. And please make your mother as comfortable as you can, help those who you're able.
More God's grace upon you and your entire household in Jesus name amen.
Summer, such an awesome video. I can relate to it a 100%. Both parents are now gone & we too have a big old house in village. This life!!!!
Sorry for your loss our dearest Summer. My God, I can't help but fall in love with the lush scenery of nature. The beauty of green life everywhere is so overwhelming.
Summer, pls come and make your family house beautiful, after all you are living in a whiteman’s country. Make your home beautiful so that your children can visit. Make it more modern
Summer I feel you sister, I loss my father 7years ago I can not stop crying may the Lord continue to console us and may those who have gone before us rest in Gods peace🙏🏿🙏🏿🫂🫂.
It's GOLD MINE not Abandone, not ruin's.As IGBO man in Houston,40k dollar RENOVATIONS,widing staircase's, passage's, create more balcony's by reducing number of rooms,add bath and toilet in every room.New Modern Roof, Doors, windows and Tile on floor.It will look better than most Modern buildings bcv it has alot of SPACE.
I'm so happy that you visited home because there is no place like home.
You really made me cry because I lost my most eldest sister too, and seeing you crying when you saw your dad's picture and your two eldest sisters pictures brings lots of memories to me too. I really feel your pain of losing loved ones.
Life is very short and I pray that God help us all to use it well for His glory.
I miss home alot and I believe God that I will visit home soon. Praying for you my dear Nigeria sister 🙏🙏🙏..
Summer you actually look like your mom❤ may the souls of the departed ones rest peacefully in the Lord 🙏🏾 the Lord Almighty will continue to consoled and strengthen you 🙏🏾❤
These videos are really hard to watch without crying. I could feel your pain. It's actually good to let it all out, and if crying is the way for you to heal, don't hold back. Losing loved ones is a very painful experience. Please stay strong.
Thank you for sharing this with us, a BIG for those who wants to learn. I feel your pain.
Summer u can renovate the House and keep a lot of the stuff in the house and make it a ritual that u meet in your dad’s house once a year ❤
I watched this video crying. Please... Instead of being so emotional over everything, can you all (siblings or relatives) come together to plan on how this beautiful house your father left behind can be renovated?? That will be something your dad will smile upon wherever he is. Please don't let his efforts parish this way.
You can run a school there or lease it out to offices, in all keep praying for the restoration of every lost glory, God always has a way out! Be strong and don't give up, God is a specialist in bringing beauty out of ashes
Wow you fathers mansion is so lovely you brought back alot of memories of my dad your mum has really passed through alot and she is still strong and beautiful may the souls of your late fathers and sisters continue to rest in peace
