Visiting that cave is going to give it publicity it needs just like when someone visited one waterfall in Arochukwu with his and posted it on the net people started visiting it. Ana IGBO has a lot of beauties that is good for tourist attraction just that they have not be explored and given the needs attention and publicity. Thanks for the good work.

As someone who mostly grew up in towns but usually visited my mum's and dad's villages for some holidays, I really appreciate these documentaries with videos showing some popular villages. I loved that section when you showed a pear tree and bitterleaf, shows you went a bit deeper into the village. I would appreciate it and I'm sure a lot of your viewers would do same if when you tour some of these villages, you venture more into the "off grid" local communities of these villages beyond those in the "highways", (like the Drill Range in Cross River, you remember right?)... you know what I mean, some of the communities where for instance those firewood we saw here would be used, maybe in some thatched house... I reckon some of those communities still exist. Thanks David for these great job you do, I really appreciate your documentary perspective.

Mr. Nkwa, you are close to my village; OLD UMUAHIA, 7 villages make up Old umuahia. My maternal village is ( UMUELEDI), my paternal village is ( UMUECHEOKWU), and our market is (( AFOIBEJI). The Assemblies of God international college is right there in UMUELEDI. I attended The Evangel High Sch, old umuahia in the ’60s. Please try and visit that area, if you can. Mr. Nkwa, NKA!

Such a beautiful place, I love how green the communities are. Considering everything that's going on with Kanye West and Kyrie Irving, it would be great to see you visit the Igbo/Yoruba Jewish communities of Nigeria. Most African Americans are Nigerian descent and such a video would help support the idea that's resurfacing by African American male celebrities that us African Americans/Africans are in fact descendants of the "Lost Tribes of Israel" mentioned in The Bible. A video displaying these communities cultural practices will lead your audience to draw their own conjectures over whether or not these people are black Jews and descendants of the lost tribes.
