use English words that you understand bro stop contradicting urself... You sef know dat Mud houses are rare in Ado and don't "liter everywhere"

it's the capital we are talking about forget ikere. Even in Ijero there are mud brick houses along the road. you should have realized by now that the houses along the road are ancient. .. the new structures are found in the hinterland


I'm just curious to know what the problem is with using mud as a building material?

or not pulling down mud brick structures?
