Nigerian billionaire and senator Ned Nwoko's village home in Uboku, Aniocha North LGA, Delta State, has become an online sensation after a walking tour of the sprawling compound was shared on YouTube. The footage, captured by a two-person crew from Cot TV, reveals an extraordinary estate that doubles as a tourist centre, drawing visitors from across Nigeria. The compound is far from a conventional Nigerian village home, featuring a water fountain, an Egyptian-style pyramid, underground tunnels, a mosque, a four-storey tower, a golf course, a swimming pool, and a zoo.
The estate, constructed almost entirely from mud, incorporates traditional African architecture with modern amenities. A thin layer of cement was applied to reinforce the structure, while maintaining the traditional aesthetic. The cultural section of the resort features four distinct palace settings: English, Arabic, Moroccan, and Igbo-style "anya palo." The Moroccan wing is particularly striking, with ornate chairs and a handcrafted wooden canopy reportedly imported directly from Morocco, purchased at auction.
The tour guide highlighted the unique features of the estate, including a "magic box" and mirror displayed in one section, which are said to show a visitor their future. However, only Nwoko's representative can operate them. The four-storey tower offers a panoramic view of the compound, including a private sports university Nwoko built beside his residence, complete with a snooker room, table tennis, tennis courts, and an Olympic-sized swimming pool.
Several photographs displayed on the walls of the mansion caught the camera crew's attention, including images of Nwoko with his wife, Nollywood actress Regina Daniels, alongside his children and other family members. The sighting of the couple's photos together is notable given recent reports that the two had reconciled following speculation about trouble in their marriage.
Nwoko, a renowned international lawyer based in London before entering politics, reportedly chose mud construction to reflect African heritage while making the estate commercially viable as a tourist attraction. Every decorative item inside was purchased at auction. The tour guide summed it up plainly, "You cannot see this anywhere."
The estate has sparked interest online, with many calling it one of the most unusual private homes on the continent. Nwoko and Daniels had a public feud in November 2025, with Daniels accusing Nwoko of physical abuse and controlling behaviour. Nwoko refuted the claims, alleging that Daniels struggled with substance abuse and that her family sabotaged his attempts to help her.
The viral tour of Nwoko's village mansion has generated significant interest, showcasing the estate's unique blend of traditional and modern features.
