I have observed that society indeed evolves through a cycle. We are usually enthused and excited about new things, events and people but over time, we find more convenient, the need to return to status quo. Case in point: Dining Tables in Nigerian homes became a fad decades ago. Today, we still buy them like a compulsory utility but most often never really use them. I have one and I do not think that I have used it in more than 4 months! So beyond space filling and aesthetics do you think homes whose members eat in the living room need dining sets? And is it a socio-cultural phenomenon peculiar to just Nigeria? Thoughts please.

Its still relevant even though u and ur family don't use it,visitors must come and where will they be served?

I observed the few Nigerians I visited in their homes had dining set, but never really used them.

Right from our childhood days, my parents never allowed us to eat anywhere else except on the dining table with the right dining set.

Prolly that is why till date, I cannot use my hands to eat any "okele" whatsoever. I always request for a fork. Same rule I have in my home about always eating on the dining table at all times.
