At the corner of the one-room building is a well-laid bed. It has a very small window in front. The only entry to the house has a wooden door. In another clip, she was seen painting the interior.

Nigerian man builds small house
Meanwhile, Briefly News earlier reported that a young Nigerian man (@2black_01) who works as a bricklayer showed people how he built a very modest house for himself and completed it on time.
In a video that stirred massive reactions on TikTok, it was seen that the man put in so much effort. Many were amazed when they saw how much work he invested into the project.
He led the masonry work as he plastered the whole building. At the beginning of the clip, one can see how the building project started.
