BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
In the 17th century when farming was regarded as the main occupation in Nigeria, farmers go to the farm in the morning, at evening they will gather in the village square eat, drink, rest and plan how the next days farming would be.
This gave rise to people building small houses or huts outside their main houses to contain visitors who may be travelling and needing a place to rest.
