Umungwa was a small village which was divided into several smaller dispersed compounds. Each compound was home to the descendants of one man. The village was located just 2 miles from the busy Aba town. Most of the houses have been rebuilt in support of the C19th modern globalization that swept across Africa. Here and there, there were still a few older houses built with clay soil, with roofs made expertly from bamboo tree. Most of the houses were bungalows, decorated beautifully with beds of flowers which served as front yard fences. It was customary to sweep out the sandy compound every morning with grass brooms. The Igbos were famous for their cleanliness and tidiness. adauzoije/2014/08/02/millipede-chasing-part-8/
