One thing I was made to understand about that kind of environment is that people living there hardly prosper...I may be wrong though na hear I hear am.

I started from there. Infact I left there in 2013, and today I am a Millionaire.

God bear me witness.....

Sometimes it is good to start from such background. You will know the value of money and reason why you should never be poor again...

It depends on one's definition of prosperity. It is the extremely poor of heart and mind who define prosperity as the number or size of material things they possess. A very short existence of 70 or 80 years is evidence that material possession as evidence of prosperity is far worse than striving after the wind. I have been in those environments on multiple occasions in the distant past when visiting friends. A good number of those who live in such places are devoid of greed and avarice, satisfied with having a roof over their heads, value good education for their children if they can afford it, and generally get on with living until their time is up. The young amongst them do not spend all of their lives there as they grow, move and build their own families.

I clearly remember the envy I always felt whenever I visited, at the simplicity of their lives. Yes, there are probably quarrels as stated here by some. There are disagreements and gossip and all that. But those are better than innate greed and avarice including a desire to get rich at all costs.
We must each reassess our definition of what a successful life is while there is still time. We don't want to get to the end of our days and finally realise the truthfulness of the words penned by our manufacturer : "vanity and striving after the wind".

10. There’s always that Single Aunty who is neat. She will be between 35 to 40 years, speaks good English, and doesn’t like to mingle with other women in the house. (Children call her Aunty). It is the day you look for her trouble you will know that werey wa nle.

10. Every Face Me I face you comes with a fight merchant who can fight till tomorrow. Always representing home and away (Street Fighter). Fijabi igboro 🙌. She will always come home with torn singlets. Werey tun ti lo ja. Everyone in the compound fears her. Even her parents.

You are very, very wrong. Many people lived in this and worst conditions. It propelled them to work hard in school and aspired to become great in life. They wanted to escape that kind of lifestyle and they worked assiduously to make it in life. That was when education, in Nigeria, was a ladder for upward social mobility. Nigeria has since changed, and going to university and bagging degree(s), these days, no longer necessarily catapult you out of poverty.

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 shit
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

The same reason I don’t want to leave the house I'm at the moment for another unless I'm moving out to my own house. Even though the landlady believe that we should be responsible for the maintenance which doesn't really bother me, contribute half of the money new pumping machine despite paying a debit of 200k on our installed prepaid meter.

Infact I was smiling as I read through everything the writer said cause I can relate. I have lived in that kinda environment. I was born there and grew up there and every character the OP described was present in our house. We do fight but those fights never last beyond hours. And if an outsider dared to fight anyone among us, he is in deep trouble.

We have eaten sacrifices too but we're good. You know that thing they call "saara", we don chop am. We're plenty. There was no house in our neighborhood then that could boast of about 50 or 60 children except our house. Even from the nearby streets, they come and hire or rent us to come and eat saara and our parents oblige gladly. grin grin Damn!

Fond memories, fond thoughts.

Confirmed!
But sadly, no parents would allow their kids to go and eat "saarah" today. Things have gone worse, no one trust the next door neighbour

AsomStructures:
1. It’s sometimes called Face Me I slap you due to the incessant fights daily. E ma ja ju. If you don’t fight, someone will fight you. You must fight. "Ta lo gbe omi ti mo pon sibi?" (Ija de).

2. You can never go hungry unless you don’t know your way around. Enter the kitchen at the backyard and start whining who’s cooking. Drop small gist about another neighbor, walahi waa jeun ju. Gbenusi no be atenu.

Output - Gbeborun
Input - Food

3. There’s always that man who will claim he has been living in the house before the house was even built. They are always proud of the years they have lived there. They know everyone and when they were given birth to. (Ancestor Tenant)

4. There will be this group of girls living together. They are always at home during the day except at night. Mothers always warn their children not to enter their room. "Ti mo ba ri e ninu yara awon Anti yen, maa fe lu e daku" but these sisters are always kind. 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️

5. There must be an old woman who settles a fight. Mama of the house. She is always sitting outside monitoring what is happening on the street. In most cases, she's the landlady. They always have nicknames like "Iya Jeje" "Iya Kofewahala" "Iya Cele".

6. There’s always a landlord wannabe whom everyone hates. He acts like the landlord and he’s always like “Don’t pour waste there” “Pay your nepa bill” and "We will lock this gate by

7pm" bla bla. You will think his name is in the Landlord's will but he's a tenant too. Gboromideleru

8. There must be a regular debtor who doesn’t pay his bills on time, he pays January bills by April. Always coming up with excuses. "My mama just die", the same thing he said last year. Ogbontarigi onigbese

9. One rich tenant must be in the house, he will keep buying things his landlord can never afford. He owes small rent but he’s using 4 ACs, 2 deep freezers, 17 flatscreen TVs, and 54 generators. The landlord hates him but he can't send him away because omo buruku lojo tie.

10. There’s always that Single Aunty who is neat. She will be between 35 to 40 years, speaks good English, and doesn’t like to mingle with other women in the house. (Children call her Aunty). It is the day you look for her trouble you will know that werey wa nle.

10. Every Face Me I face you comes with a fight merchant who can fight till tomorrow. Always representing home and away (Street Fighter). Fijabi igboro 🙌. She will always come home with torn singlets. Werey tun ti lo ja. Everyone in the compound fears her. Even her parents.

11. Nepa bill fight ✅, waste bill fight ✅, rent increment fight ✅, I entered the bathroom before you fight ✅, you poured water at my doorstep fight ✅, you beat my child fight ✅, you sent my child on an errand fight ✅, you talked about me behind my back fight
your wife beat my wife fight ✅, you are dating my husband fight ✅, you used my water fight ✅
At least, 16 fights per month. Tenanté de WWE 🙌.

12. There’s this big boy who brings different girls home, fine room. Always disturbing everyone with loudspeakers

13. There’s always a Gbeborun-General of the whole house. She sees everything, knows everything, and gossips about everything. The moment you hear "shey e ti gbo", just know you are getting served. Her name is always mentioned during every fight. Olofofo

14. Every morning, parents spend 5 hours bath one child outside. These boys are strong. I no dey bath, na by force

15. Sunday meetings are always like this. The landlord is on the high table and everyone keeps ranting and ranting. After 465 suggestions, the landlord won't do any. No item 7 sha o.

16. Every house has that woman that can send children on errands ehn. All the children dislike her. The moment she enters the passage or calls a name, the children will run into their rooms and act like they are asleep. She will never go anywhere herself afi bi afishe.

17. So far it's a Face Me I face you in Bariga, you will always see this tanker everymonth. Awon kogbe kogbe. The entire street will smell for days but o ti mo wa lara.

18. There's always a woman who uses song to insult people during a fight. These people can be very talented. She will use the song to insult and kickstart a fight.

You can add yours 😂😂😂
Op you de craze oo
..in fact you mad oo grin

Victor Oshimen lived in a face me I slap u house for 12 years.
He was selling pure water in Lagos traffic

Go and ask him if he prospered..

Infact
I'm very sure you can't even afford flight ticket to go to Italy and ask Oshimen that question
I like your response, with a huge sense of humour.

Nah bro, that's the gist you heard from the people who lives in a glass house. Face me i face you go make you hustle your a..s..s off to be a better person in life because you sure don't want your kids to go thru the same thing in life. I'm a product of face me I face you sir. 18yrs no be joke but we don't look like our struggle. Alhamdulilah!!!


One thing I was made to understand about that kind of environment is that people living there hardly prosper...I may be wrong though na hear I hear am.[/quote]

Nothing funny here... With the way lagos is going, without price control, thats where everyone is heading. Im leaving my current 2bed of 3 yrs on mainland cos landlord decided adding 40 percent rent was fair, almost every apartment is now too small for proper and adequate living condition but get the charge 2 to 3 times the value, when a 3 bedroom in mushin requests for 2 million per annum, it means an office worker earning less than 1m per month cant pay it easily, how many people earn such, how much are businesses aroumd there paying, this is the trickled down effect of the legacy tinubu left, people charge as much as possible out of desperate people.
.

Blame Tinubu for everything, even your poverty and inability to pay your rent. Why don't you move into your father's house?
Your mates are building plazas, you are here talking rubbish.
