I Found Strange Things Inside of a Living Tree in Nigerian village

laughs [Music] okay good morning beautiful people all right so if you're wondering I'm coming out from this is my new house and just coming out from the tree and this is where I slept last night and inside the street there are about eight different rooms and those of you watching eight of you I'm inviting you to come and join me to sleep inside alright now it is not a hotel it is just a living tree that I'm sleeping inside and it's absolutely free and if you want to know how the inside looks like today I'm going to take you on a tour to bring you to this beautiful Community called amakama and the only place in the world where you have a living tree which is a wooden cave and has eight different rooms if you'd like to know more then stay tuned and watch this video to the end but first I'm going to tell you about this beautiful community and how you too can visit this place this is one of the most beautiful tourists points we have in Omaha South in ABIA State in Nigeria [Music] in a community called amakama lies an ancient living tree that has a hello that can take up to five grown men there are about eight of those strains in amakama community representing eight Villages that makes up the community amakama is located in Omaha South local government area of ABIA State Nigeria as part of my Eastern Nigerian tour documentary I decided to visit this place to learn about this community as well as a document its history [Music] [Music] [Music] thank you [Music] we are currently in amakama right now and I'm just going to talk to someone who is going to explain to us how the street came about and the significance of it and after that it's gonna take us inside of the tree so you guys can see how the inside looks like so this is how the Hopeless looks like let me do it 360 degree tall of the place so you guys can see okay these are all the trees though who will be looking at right now so I'm waiting for him to come Okay so this place is absolutely amazing one thing about coming to the village is the the air here is quite very different from what we bridge in the city I'm telling you I don't know how to explain it but very fresh air very fresh air very calm very peaceful okay that's some of the things that uh you experience once you visit the village especially villages in Africa in Nigeria my name is Pastor obelo I'm from this Village namely umigwe and right here we are at ishini Square as you can see this place is a crowd the Cradle of Amma Kama the girls made up of eight villages umigwe Yoko um okay um and when you see the square there are eight Big Trees that signifies one Village a village we present one Village if we can permit me I'll count them okay this is number one here the first one here when you see this one there down there you mentioned a lot of the other one this is the first day one that at the in front of the first man that settled here that's the one and if you watch other trees here that one is very very different so this is number one this is number two this hip here is number three this is number four that that one there is number five this is number six number seven and the number eight you see yeah you may ask me what is going on yes this place like as I said or or permit me to say that this place is a sacred a place that does not nonsense it doesn't it doesn't make no sense in the sense that if you have your little charm maybe you come from this entrance or this entrance or this entrance and luckily uh you were not hurt by this you know that that's your charm is just a fake before you enter that it has been neutralized but if you have a strong one before entering the square the Beast will strike you and one thing that is very very important here is that we don't have any YouTube list there is no place no Juju Christianity in this particular Square now okay in this particular there's no place you see where the poor liberations but you dare not to make no sense here because the assistant that settles here they do their own things in a very humble and uh justice way now these three we are seeing now because of what I was telling you now that people that this place doesn't control nonsense so there is a little conflict in our autonomous Community analogy and that's conflict resulted you know the youths and the elders having some you know mistake so do you summoned meeting here and the youth they are not so many meeting here the people that always calling meeting here is the elders and you know that it must be of someone that is something very very important it will not just be a little thing you call me no no so do you summon the meeting opposite discharge and our little Royal Honey shouted why has this been happening how can it be that it doesn't call me this year you know some plus elements you know say no no no this place has been it has been legalized anybody can do whatever I like to do so that's interesting and that was the first time a policeman police could enter here to settle the case in a very status secret area it was just on a daylight just permit me to show you one thing if you watch behind this church behind that church you will see a country there yes God that pantry caught fire in a daylight and the the the the the pump three the the pump foot of that three flew from that place and enter these three and these three was live today on a very bright day these three caught fire which year was that precisely some five six years years ago so it was recent it was a recent event now even this one here now okay this is an event that happened belly for uh six or seven years ago so that was the first is namely Captain Paul that was the first season when amakama has not been in autonomous so only him so this the entire Community God had and they say that we want to have easy though the first Chief that time was uh uh retired policeman bloody sukhoji was a chief and before amakama decided to have a an essay so these people are my God and have one is and it was here they gave him that staff of office or four in Igbo so this one Village out of the eight Villages I was telling you that means of amakama said no we cannot have him as always and that time the tattoo given to him was afternoon these people said no no no we cannot we don't have him we don't know him so this man along the struggle went there swim to God on the struggle he died and the day as you were planning he's better the the other Village went on air and announced that he will not be buried with that uh title given to him and this if you watch these three when they were alive they Embrace themselves this one was slapping the other one this one is this one now this one was lacking this so if you go to uh tourist tourism you will see the like when these three was alive they left they left themselves where can we find that in one you will see this Okay so at that moment this that day the announcement was made on Earth that it will not be buried with that exact title the two trees failed is empty the two trees that is this is the sitting of oh yeah I'm not busy and this is the season of remote control the two three is very same day the same hour called the respect because if there's anything maybe they they want to find out the truth the elders as they want to give The Chieftains a title of what the elders will just gather here this is their own City today now okay they they should rehabilitate this place okay as it is before okay so this is that this is where the elders will sit okay and when the other City they will decide anything decision taken here taken here is binded so this place is super and some some December because of the same problem that arose from the community they form this group uh from the youths too and those that those those they came here and they began to drill people they say ah you already thought that they will bring you here that has never done in the history of this land they begin to treat people here use matches and beat you some of them come with their wives and their babies some of them came here and smoking their hair so that's like a sacrilege so it's a secret and nobody talks nobody because the elders refuse to talk because of the little conflict so it happens at day three just took one day bar leveled himself so this place like as I said it's a very sacred place it's not a jungle Justice because jungle Justice can be partial or impartial yeah that is Justice for you but this place will give you the real Justice that requires so this is this is where we are today today's Victory now if you watch these three uh approximately 870 feet high or we'll measure it today okay we have instrument to measure all right so if you see this tree now you begin to wonder how God can create a tree without intestine a three without just like the fish that swallowed to Jonah I believe that the defense has no intestine because if that that fish has intestine you can also swallow Jonah so these three you are seeing now is as we are now with 25 of us can enter inside that tree and and to continue 25 as big as you are wow okay we are going there so I will say things to yourself so but I'm happy that we use this place as a tourist site and one thing that you know troubles my heart is that we're Nigerians precisely we Africans or no we appearance we talk of Tourism we talk of Tourism and we claim that we are we're back on tourism no no no no no because since uh 1993 or belly 1993-94 this place was turned to tourist center United States nothing at that time everything here was intact when you say it was stunned to her was it gazetted by the government of uh geology okay came here was it Chris to somebody I can't no idea he came here and said okay is a very nice place except for the last place we are going to build this place we are going to make uh build a zoo and secure this place blah blah blah blah optional to no avail so this place now up till now has not been developed if Nigeria yeah it's another good thing they will benefit if Nigeria would develop this place international tourist center like if we get to the cave now you see that this cave as I said is about 850 something if there is a ladder you can go to the first floor second floor third floor fifth floor sixth floor and if you go there maybe you contact with God so that is why I am saying that this place needs to be developed okay so what about because I've been talking government but my focus is not just government I'm also looking at private individuals who have money who will be interested to come and invest yeah that's another good one yes with the community be willing to support I open for collaboration 100 sure that if such uh private developers will be here in collaboration with amakama as of now I am expecting you it will work okay because we've been waiting on government to come and help us in Macedonia to no avail so if a private entity would like to come in conjunction with amakama well I'm telling you it's what it will work so let's go to the cave you see what I'm talking about so that made me would go there you can come in with God okay so this is a Holy Ground and the Elder is telling us for going so we can commune with God maybe our prayers will be answers faster all right let's go okay okay so right now we are going inside the cave inside the wood all right let's go go oh I'm getting inside the tree I found that the tree can take up to five grown men and on top of it is a hollow opening into the sky this place is truly beautiful this is where we are now okay this is literally the one that we are talking about oh my God if you are looking at this tree you begin to ask are you sure that this tree is a live stream my God this is a life three including a live wooden cave my God check this out now and it has opening up you have we have you see how I'm coming now if you watch this side now you don't even need the highest architecture architect to do you have this design if you watch it has different design from first floor second floor third floor fourth floor fifth floor even to where are you coming with God wow that is God for you there now you come today we have many rooms now the Bible says there are many rooms this is number one so this is your father's house so number one okay this is number two Let Me Hold on hold on all right I want to flash my lights all right this is number one room this is number one room okay wow number two this is number three room number three this is number four number four and this is number five number five room this is not a wooden cave this is number seven and we were even well we keep this one here because in case our email Governor uh we like to come and visit them we can give him this Society can mount his uh he knows a big man this is the entrance you see how decorated and how come to this entrance it is not it is not my Med now this is natural I'm not sure you can see anything like this anywhere in the world on top of the roof that is like the roof this is like a house not just a tree on top of it you can see how low it is and different painting different color and I love that it looks very beautiful how long has this tree being existence good that's a good question I like and the Bible said the Lord said let there be rich and there was three and this one from Heaven this one landed here probably from creation I am telling you oh my God so this is okay like you say yeah it's like a cradle of yeah so they came and then they saw this place yes you know those in those colonial days they like to live in a place because of bad so today we are here they were here and there's something I would like to reveal to your boat now uh because of security I will not okay yes I agree I agree this is what we are I agree this is awesome welcome okay we didn't give all right so we have been talking to our Elder here who has taken our other is very he's I think he's a historian actually he has taken his time to really explain to us the history of amakama the significance of amakama and the beauty of this amakama wooden cave all around the world not even in West Africa you cannot see a tree as beautiful as a hollow that has plenty rooms like this okay and this is why we have traveled all the way from Abuja to come and document this because the world needs to see what Nigeria has the one need to see what Eastern Nigeria have the one need to see what ABIA state has they wanted to see what amakama have all right so you come and check this place out and like you can actually actually invest and say have a good return on your investment and besides investing in this place even there are lands here we can actually develop and you know build other tourists attraction points that people can besides saying they would can also see other stuff surrounding if you watch Australia okay you can hear a sound of a bee did you hear it yes there's a sound of Bina that is to show you that you people came in open mind no trouble so you are welcomed thank you so thank you oh thank you very much God bless you okay thank you they don't come with something bad though and I would have that with you and one thing that really impressed me about this place is that the Community member did not convert the tree to some form of religious worship goddess or tie some red clothes as a sacrifice to offer as obtaining some other part of Nigeria rather they are hoping that this place will be developed as a tourist point for people to visit and appreciate the wonders of God's creation hi guys this is awesome so you said the emitter was like how many eyes approximately 800. meet us yes actually okay but you know what it is what are your videos this is guess what this place is more like uh what do you call it it's like 40 meters 40 yeah okay I'll show you from my instrument 40 meters yes that 40 meter is high 30 minutes are convert it to fix okay so you see how many feet it is okay I would tell anybody I promise Maybe some of this is also give me some of the pictures before okay so I'll give it to you so that require Your Own Story just behind the scene we are trying to fly the
