Farmer's Hut of Nigeria

It consists of a single room. It is built very simply. Thick branches of trees are stuck and joined at their tops and fastened tightly by ropes. Thus they acquire the shape of a cone. The spaces between the branches are filled up with straw. Similarly the roof is also thatched with a thick layer of straw, grass, reeds and palm leaves. Towards the sun a small opening is left for entrance as well as for light during daytime. These huts have open courtyards where women cook food, children play and fowls pick up grain and worms. The farmers sleep inside the huts on mud-plastered floors spreading mats over them.
