This is not a thread to bash anyone ,if you are currently in this situation, remember it's just a phase that will pass.

if you have any experiense(s) please share ,just for fun.


One of the neighborhs who never sleep will wake you up around 4am with the sound of his local music.


The queue you will meet at bathroom by 5 when you trying to leave home early .

Waking up to meet the WELL padlocked with 5 keys by different neighbors.

Sitting with ur pot of soup on fire from start to finish.

Holding shit till the previous shitter come out of toilet.

* The incessant quarrels - there's always at least one trouble maker per face-me-I-face-you!
* Cooking in the corridor/ passage when the kitchen is crowded.
* Amebo neighbours always sitting on the front yard to check out how many girls their unmarried neighbour brings home

I know some of you are talking from experience but it is not all face me I slap you that tenants queue to have their bathe.It is only a compound where there is one bathroom and toilet that such thing do occur.And all tenants doesn't go to work at the same time.Some go by 5,6,7,8 and 9am.While others are self employed who can go to their workshop at any fcking time.

Renting a house in Lagos is quiet expensive than other states.Some one room apartment rent in lagos can pay for a room and parlour or flat in other states.

Not everyone living in face me and face you experience such. It depends on the kind of building and type of people living there. Stop generalizing.

The OP might have used the word "face me I slap you"apartment which isn't the case at all times,but i assure you that so long one is living in a single room,be it face me I punch you..s/he must encounter atleast one of the aforementioned.

The most annoying is blasting of music even at odd hours as if they are the first to acquire a sound system.gosh..i don't know why poor people like showing off.


Note:I live in a single room for now

If you've ever lived in the type of house we call Face to Face in Nigeria then you would certainly be able to relate to this no matter how brief you stayed.

Those who have stayed in Face me I face you can relate
1- Those who have 1stclass in gossiping, they can gossip a ghost and the ghost wont be aware

2- The ones who are very poor but produce kids like wetin I no know

3- That single sister who is very accommodating, I mean she accommodates new guys every night..what a cheerful giver

4- That sister who will never give her hair breathing space, always tying scarf

5- The most superior womanizers, this set of people don't have taste, from fair to dark, slender, fat, tall even dwarfs

6- That one man that is always challenging the landlord cos the house has only one toilet ,like he came to this world to poo

7- The very proud ones, just because they married wives with big bum they think they should automatically earn your respect

8- That very ugly man who surprisingly has a pretty wife,sometimes one would wonder like 'how did he even say it, like how he take toast am'

9- The Profs-- These ones have refused to marry, they do all chores themselves from sweeping to washing and fetching water. They can cook all type of soups- Oha, Ogbono, Okro...name it but they can be very stingy, I mean they can trace their missing 10naira back to a thousand kilometers.

10- The borrowers- They can borrow anything salt, broom, toothpaste, tie even your life if possible. They are the only set of people who can knock on your door in the middle of the night just to say 'Abeg una get matches

These are the kind of people you may see or have seen in a typical Face-me-I-face-you-apartment.

1. One wicked old woman everyone believes to be a witch.

-2. A randy bachelor that sleeps with people's underage daughters

3. One married man who drinks irresponsibly

4. One slayqueen that brings in different guys

5. Some stubborn children that play around your window or sometimes peep through your window when you have visitors�

6. The Holy Holy man that only preaches to people but live the opposite.

Living in a face me I slap you apartment is another world entirely!!! Though mine was a boys quarter then. It was fun back then sha

and so what's the fume about? face me houses are still very comon but rarely rented by some categories of people, it is more cheaper so the average man goes for it ... I have used it, i still have families there (though not in the city). life there teaches you to be self dependent. that's what I learnt

Those children that throws stones at neighbor's windows.

The Aunty that can send message , any kind that kids always hide for her to avoid.


That neighbor that knows everybody's door sound.


That law enforcer man that knows how to discipline every kids in compound.

The woman that will not respond to greetings ,always minding her business.

the neighbor that shares their food right in the kitchen for all the eight children ,you will think it's party time .

Memories.

Stayed in one in my school days. Though its a hostel but we shared common areas/facilities. I learnt how to mind my business while neck deep in another mans business , how to be laidback with life, and how to be selfish and generous at same time.

Lol...

How do ppl live like that

Wow...people live like this? I mean I’ve heard of these kinds of living arrangements, but it’s just sad to imagine.

it's real

* The caretaker that claims to be a landlord.
* The troublesome woman who refuses to mind her business and always trying to poke her nose
* The single mother who usually use trouble to make money off peoples head.

That’s sad.

Copied

Everyone has a stepping stone....I have been there once and I saw hell grin

These are the kind of people you may see or have seen in a typical Face-me-I-face-you-apartment.

There's always that husband and wife always fighting.

Family with many kids they can't cater for.

Quarrel/fights about keeping the toilets/bathroom/kitchen clean.

One 'agba manchelor' always seriously minding his business.

Disagreements about Nepa bills etc and whoever didn't pay on time that made Nepa disconnect the compound.

That one 'auntie' that has boyfriends for each day of the week and is always cooking and frying chicken upandan.

Thank God for Growth!!!

Neighbour nacking neighbour

Nothing more annoying than the prayer warrior that would disturb the whole house at odd hours. They always fight imaginary enemies. There's a man in our yard that year, every night he will carry "turari"(I don't know what that is called in English, cele uses it to "chase demons", I think Catholics use it too. Stuff is always smoky) and be walking around the house uttering inaudible words.

Too much drama in face and slap you mhen.
