A Nigerian man who's currently building a magnificent house in his village has captured the hearts of many online users.

Man begins building massive house in village

The man, known on TikTok as @ezeolly, shared a video of his uncompleted storey building, along with a brief background story.

Initially, he had reservations about building in the village, particularly since his father had already constructed a huge house there.

However, after seeking divine guidance from God, he felt the need to build a house in his hometown against all odds.

In his words:

"A lot of people have different reasons for not wanting to build in the village. They'd rather build their their mansions in the city or even abroad than touch anything back home. As a Christian, the idea of the village being risky wasn't my problem. My case was why leave the city with all its lights and soft life to go back to the village and start laying blocks?

"Besides my dad already built a massive house in the village. I had a change of heart because every major decision I make, I always seek guidance from God before embarking on any project. If we don't build our hometowns, who will?

"Too many people abroad have written off their roots-held back by fear, doubt, or superstition. But I'm living proof that God can use anyone, anywhere to make a difference. Let this be your sign: it's time to invest in where you come from. What's the biggest challenge holding you back from building at home? Drop it in the comments. Let's talk."

Man monitors building project

In an older TikTok video, the man shared how he had to monitor his Enugu project himself and extend his stay in Nigeria for that purpose.

He stated that though he was looking at getting a truckload of cement, he reduced it to 500 bags because he wanted a situation where they could be well monitored, as artisans could be tricky.

Nigerian man builds duplex in hometown

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a young Nigerian millionaire replaced his old family house in the village with a duplex he built for N65m.

The man's family supervised the project during the demolition phase as different parts of the old building were removed.

Joseph Omotayo, the HoD of the Human Interest Desk, contributed to this report, adding an earlier video of the man's building project.
