In a surprising revelation, a Nigerian woman, identified as @giftvitaliss, has captivated internet users by sharing images of her residence constructed entirely with zinc.
The interior of her meticulously furnished apartment, posted on the X platform, has sparked a heated discussion online.
The shared images feature a neatly arranged single-room flat constructed from zinc, typically used for roofing.
The entire apartment boasts tiled floors, and the kitchen is thoughtfully organized with essential appliances.
While some online observers were astonished by the ingenuity of using zinc for construction, others raised concerns about the practicality of such a dwelling, particularly in the current hot weather.
Critics argue that the zinc structure may result in an uncomfortable living environment due to increased heat and the perceived low durability of zinc.
Suggestions were made that using wood might have been a more suitable alternative, as zinc tends to generate heat and unpleasant sounds during rainfall.
This unconventional housing choice has stirred a debate among netizens, with opinions divided on the feasibility and sustainability of a zinc-built home in a tropical climate.
Below are some reactions from social media users

@Hugo_Chiez You’re going to be cooked in there. No ceiling to trap excess heat? No wall padding to trap excess heat too? Just pour seasoning and spices on yourself let’s know you want to become suya.
