ENGLISH LANGUAGE

Whether a person is rich or poor, there are some basic things that are important in a house before it can be called a home.  For example: A house with a roof, door and windows; kitchen and cooking utensils; water: either pipe borne water, rain water or a well and food are all very important in a home.

Yoruba adage said “Home is for rest after the farm or a hard day’s work, hence it is important to have a house for a person to return to.  Check out the names and pictures of many household items on this page.
