Home is home. If Nigeria is secured, every other thing is secondary because we were born in Nigeria and we can adapt. Nigeria will get back to normal in regards to security when the right person get to power.
I love this perspective ‘have an open mind’ take what Enugu gives to us and see the move as an opportunity to have a fresh start in life. Thank you Chief Vera. You are exceptional.
Nice video. To your guest, there are Igbo language tutors based in Nigeria. I know of several in Lagos, one of whom I use, another who my sisters use. So you can learn Igbo, but I agree with you, it is not your fault you didn’t learn it growing up. Jisie ike.
@@KellysTH-camAccount That's why I'm doing it. I'm teaching my children. My husband speaks Igbo, but I spend more time with them, and the more I learn, the more they have been learning.

Great video thank you!! Im based in UK, i'm Igbo from Enugu, been many times. Im learning to speak the language.... I want to spend more time there once lockdown stops. My concern is I do not hear Igbo well, yet. Should I not come and spend 6 to 12 months with my family? Or if I should how do I manage the language barrier?
You can come. You can learn Igbo while you're here. You just have to show some interest in learning it. A lot of people also converse in English, but you should learn Igbo too
I think I'm impressed with this video. Genesis restaurant do have Chinese rice in the menu. Roots (located by House of Assembly) has a lot of Chinese recipe in their menu. If there's a significant change in basic infrastructure (steady power, water and and good roads), security and governance, there will be an exodus back home.
Kindly work on the volume since you're running educative channel. I listen with one ear bluetooth and I can hardly hear it when am not in a quiet place. Keep it up our enugu lady we're in support of your work
That's my girl and love you too Chief Vera both do excellent job!! Good to see this collab!! Well the language barrier will certainly be an issue for me. Yes the American pallet is rich.
Hey Auntie Robin, don’t worry everyone will be nice to you. People are hard on me because I am an Igbo lol. So they want me to speak Igbo. 😭 we will learn together
Nice she brought up this issue of electricity cos it's my first observation in the country too. The country is trying sha cos it's not easy to build the country
I’m so in love with this video. Only thing that will irritate me is the fact by blood we Igbos are independent and don’t like to be control, but I’m fully American. I can see my not adjusting to dress code. I don’t dress like an ashawo by any means but I do me. Dress is an extension of creativity and I rejected the idea of living in Nigeria in my childhood bc of this. Creativity is a big part of my identity.
I really love u guys conversation,especially in terms of business in Enugu.I actually looking for the day Enugu would become a business hub, I don't like that civil servants narrative,is long over due.
@@oceejekwam6829 oh..ok. But in this context, French is their national language, so a special French school isn't a bad idea, while Igbo isn't a national language but for a tribe. So it may not be a necessity.
@@Chiefvera th-cam.com/video/21d8m-HP6E0/w-d-xo.html Kevin (the American) learned Yoruba at the University of Ibadan. Currently, Yorubaland is not yet a country.
Chief Vera, during my NYSC year in Enugu I was very determined to learn Igbo and had to get an Igbo teacher for myself. That made me to speak with the people in the streets. So an Igbo school is vitally important even in Enugu. I am sure Kelechi would even like to attend such a school. Once a city welcomes many non-Igbos you need the school.
Regarding Chinese good, isnt Genesis Restaurant still in Enugu?? ( it was a Nigerian owned Chinese restaurant and it was popular back in the 90s). Ok.. i have aged myself 😀
if Enugu wants to be a world-class city..in terms of tourism etc..that thing of if you can't speak the language bye..should end..otherwise, it would be a city just for Igbo people. Noting wrong with that but if you are making a vision board of the future....it needs to change. Thank God for the younger generation. I visited my uncle in UNN and stayed in Enugu for a few days..I liked Enugu.....i even drank fresh palm wine and eat nkwobi etc..what i found striking was how green it was. Abuja was my home before I left..even that is unrecognizable now. When I come back to Nigeria..i will seriously consider owning a property in Enugu. I will visit for a month first, then make plans
Hahahaha @ that thing of if you cant speak the language bye ..should end..' It's not that serious, a lot of folks speak English here, even amongst ourselves as Igbo babes and boys. It's rare occasions that would demand you speaking or atleast understanding the language. Otherwise you're good. If you're considering owning a property here, now is a good time to look out for one (real estate is steadily hiking here)
@@Chiefvera good to know..i hear Igbo myself..just concerned for how welcome others might feel..I am happy to know its not the case....I really am interested in it. Once I am in Nigeria I will start making plans to get a place.
You're right, I should have. But around here, it not seen as illegal. It's a second option for obtaining power supply. And the hassle of obtaining a prepaid meter makes estimated look normal.
What about employment?? I believe we already know the answer this!!!! Low pay and no way to pay for the Life Style we have in the US if you work a local job in Nigeria.
A lot of the old guards and traditions of old African government are fading/passing with a new 21st Century generation that expects to be on par with the West. Africa have been mostly Third World government/living but slowly changing.
Lol. Auntie what are you wearing it. Of course wear shorts at home only. You can were pants to HOTR, Dominion City, Winners and Christ Embassy though; don't try itl in Catholic, Anglican, Deeperlife, Redeemed,or Assemblies of God

Tell us alot Enugu state because no people talk about some of this state. We only hear about Lagos and Abuja

What about putting a trampoline park in Enugu?

😂 sounds like a real journey!
Enugu was founded by the British.
Is there a reputable Igbo language school in Enugu?
Enugu is an Igbo speaking state, why would it need an Igbo language school?
