Nigerian man’s cement and tile living room seats have sparked an online debate after a video captioned ‘Everlasting Chair in his sitting’ went viral on X.
The video, posted by D3VID @DurkioWiz_, shows a living room where the seats are not made of wood or foam — they are built from cement and covered with tiles, like a permanent structure in the middle of the house.
“Na tiles this man use do chair for house, this man go too wicked 😳🤦😭” — D3VID @DurkioWiz_

For many, the first thought was comfort — or the complete lack of it. How do you sit on tiles for a whole evening? How do you lie down to watch football? How do you survive a nap on cement?
Commenters joked about hospital visits for the family and doomed pinky toes, with many saying one wrong step in the middle of the night would end in tears — and a trip to the hospital.
But others saw something else: resourcefulness.
Amid rising furniture costs in Nigeria, where a decent sofa can now cost hundreds of thousands of naira, building permanent seats from cement and leftover tiles is, for some, a smart way to avoid buying furniture that will spoil, break, or get eaten by termites. It will never tear. It will never sink. It will never need replacement. It is, literally, everlasting.
Though similar durable designs appear in regional homes, most agree sharp corners pose hazards indoors, especially for kids, favouring cushions that may never come.
That is the compromise everyone is waiting for — cushions. Put foam on it, cover it with Ankara or leather, and suddenly the “everlasting chair” becomes a normal seat. Without cushions, however, it remains what X is calling it: beautiful to look at, dangerous to sit on.
For now, the man’s living room has become the most talked-about living room in Nigeria — not because it is luxurious, but because it is unforgettable.
Would you sit on it?
