But they are now using sheet metals and bricks made out cement and not with sand as it use to be. Okaku residents are depending more on farming. They cultivate their fiels to get food such as millets, beans, melons, sorghum, nuts and many for survival and sometimes they sold their surplus. Their daily foods are porridge (Oshithima) while they also survive in their traditional drink (ontaku). Although some residents spend their time at cuca shops, many of them spend their time with their families and take care of their children’ school work. Most of the residents are young people followed by elderly before children.
