Go through these steps potentially suitable for the average Nigerian beginner.
Step 1
Place two sheets of 3/4-inch CDX exterior-grade plywood on the ground, with the long sides touching. This base layer should be laid so that they are lengthwise to the direction you will stand when lifting.
Step 2
Lay the other two sheets CDX exterior-grade plywood side-by-side on top of the base layer, but perpendicular to the first two. This provides added strength and resilience. Use wood glue and screws to bind the two layers together. This will form the four sheets into a solid, single unit that is nearly impervious.
Step 3
Place the two pieces of rubber on the sides of the platform where the plates on the barbell will rest when resting on the ground. Use high-strength cement adhesive to hold the rubber to the wood platform.
Step 4
Lay a fifth piece of plywood in the center of the lifting platform, between the rubber strips. This should be a piece of higher quality plywood to give a more finished appearance on the finished product. Use adhesive alone, without the wood screws, to hold this piece of plywood down to the platform.
We can afford to give you detailed information on how we started our home-made gym from mixtures of cement,sharp sand and water at our frontyard in the compound in Port-Harcourt.We even went to the extent of improvising by using beverage tin cans like used bournvita or peak milk cans and shamfering the mixtures into them.Today, however we have a standard gym.We can boast of training an interested body builder in 2 weeks and having him attain that sexy masculine shape.
Students in UNIPORT, FUTO, UNILAG are tertiary institutions where so many young chaps are so much interested in having that good masculine look that will make the chics "trip" but how many starters do pay the price of real training for long, keeping to the coaches instructions?

SIMPLE STEPS TO BECOMING A BODY BUILDER
1. Pick A Goal
No matter what, if you don't have a short term and long term goal in mind, you'll just wander around, like a zombie with your arms out, going to anything in sight. And 5 years later, you'll wonder what the heck happened!
Having a clear goal is the ONLY way to start. If you want to gain, maintain or lose, that is a goal. Know what you want before you start.
You'd be floored to find out just how many people are frustrated with their results but when asked exactly what they are trying to do, they have no idea.
2. Figure Out How Many Calories A Day You Need
In your case, you say you are skinny and tooth-pick like. But in the next sentence you state you know you don't eat.

When I was 16, I didn't eat either, I skipped many meals (especially on weekends) and I tried all kinds of protein powders and supplements when I was clearly failing at nutrition.
My mom would cook big meals and I'd barely finish my plate before running off to do something. All the while wishing I was bigger and not so skinny.
There's so many simple ways to calculate your calories. That should be your very next step. Once you know what you want to do, you need to know your nutritional intakes in order to obtain that goal. It's not going to be hard at all but if you don't know, you cannot possibly get anywhere.
In other words, if you don't know how many calories a day you need for a certain goal, then don't expect anything different.
3. Figure Out How Much Protein You Need A Day
It's the building blocks of muscle and it's also the only way you are going to build more muscle or keep the muscle you already have today.
Even for burning fat, it's proven that getting enough protein will actually make you leaner.
Again, there's very simple formulas for this that do not require a degree from MIT to perform. And once you know how much protein you need every day, it's really easy in Step 4 to find out if you are getting what you need.
These steps will be continued in part 2
