'Stop building luxurious mansions in your villages' - Sam Nnabuike to Igbos

Nollywood actor Sam Nnabuike has stated that if anyone is not looking at running for public office, they have no business setting up a multi-million naira mansion in their villages.

According to him, his understanding of the Igbo saying –Aku ruo uno (wealth that reaches home), is all about selflessly helping the needy, widows and the weak in one’s paternal and maternal communities.

“In my understanding, AKU RUO UNO is selflessly giving a helping hand to your kinsmen, helping the needy and weak in your paternal/maternal communities, providing succour for the widows, and ultimately helping to put your hometown on the map positively.

“I am not saying don’t build houses in your hometown or villages. No, that’s far from it. Build a moderate home of 4 to 6 bedroom bungalow or duplex where you and your family can always run into when you visit your hometown.

“If you aren’t looking to run for politics in the nearest future as a wealthy man. You have no business building a multi-million naira mansion in your hometown. Period.”

Sam Nnabuike had earlier begged Igbo mothers to kindly desist from heaping pressure on their daughters to bring home wealthy suitors for marriage.
