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.

falacy!

If you listen to many rich men out there today, their story will never complete without this.

It's like reabilitation and training home , if you live in that settings, you must be wise and sharp. Another good example I see there is that, it propagate both love and hatred.

It is not as funny at all as you put it.. at all!
Your post is somewhat childish and Lacks Matter

Living there is pathetic and Disgusting, especially in Lagos or South West generally. Hmḿmmn it's
It is a very Powerful experience, really hits you deep.
When Younger it may be manageable, but as you grow older, not at all.


You will need serious education, therapy etc. To find mental emotional balance after living

Why u serious like this? Are people living face me I face you not humans or are you somehow more adult than them?

WriterX:
my own na say this picture way you use so he resemble where I don first stay oh .a beg where you snap am

Crafteck1:
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.
.

You were making sense until the madness of Zombiesm in you rared its ugly head. I think under the bridge will suit you better.

I gree up in one in warri... Kinda different from the Lagos type sha, but they share similar characteristics.

The experience wasn't bad though, I learnt a lot of things. No environment sharpens your tolerance level like FACE ME I FACE YOU

This is very true.

I'm presently practicing number 12.



1 knack 3 of my compound girls in a period of 3 months.


They chased my girlfriend away from me.

I'm planning to leave this Sodomix compound hopefully next month

Truth is bitter.

No 8 is so on point.

There's always someone who refuses to pay electricity bills but changes girls like shirt.

I stay in a flat now (2 bedroom flat).

ILE Kojusimi kojusio.It is not easy o.

Remember when life was so difficult for me.. after when I graduated from University!! I stayed in an uncompleted building in Port Harcourt here from there I moved to one room (face me I face you room). Inside that room I became a chartered accountant. I got a good job that was paying me up to N700k but u won't even know because my lifestyle was still low.. my neighbors thought that I was working as a driver in a company. After staying there for 5yrs, I now moved to one bedroom flat. Now!! Am building my house... Face me I face you was a good experience to me.

KnowledgePower7:
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

God bless u for this reply...ask the idiot if he's God

There's always an in-house lady or woman that gives husbands charity services.

Everything you wrote here doesn't apply to my dad's "face me I face you" house in Benin City. Total monthly payments from 4 tenants including electricity bill is 20k. Monthly electricity payment from the house analogue meter is 20 to 20k. Very neat house and compound, no leaking roof , borehole and water running smoothly, wc toile, Kitchen, dish sink, watch hand basin and bathroom all available and enclosed but unfortunately even some of the tenants will rather prefer to brush teeth outside. They are lucky the compound is wide with space for agricultural garden. No noise and playing of music on loud speakers, no cooking inside the room or sneaked in hot plate to cook, no quarrelling. Nobody sits at home lazing around from 9AM to 3PM. My dad is late and mum still lives in the house selling in her provision shop in the house.

She thoroughly screens anyone before allowing you lives there as tenant.

After carefully doing all analysis, "face me I face you" is not a good investment route if you are branching into estates as an investment alternative. Still looking to convert the house for future personal use. Tenants are allowed to ensure the house doesn't rot a way and lonely. This is how we ended up having countless abandoned houses all around when the original owners dies. Most children don't care simply because the input is larger than the output amongst other reasons.

"Ta lo gbe omi ti mo pon sibi?" (Ija de).

Hahahahaha! This made me laugh

To those that don't understand Yoruba, it means, who took the water i fetched here.... fight begins afterwards

If I'm the position to score the Op on what he narrated about "face me and face you",I will give him 110/100.

PotatoSalad:
I lived in a face me house for few months during service before I moved to a better place.
It was so bad that people only visited me once hahaha. You had to pass 3 corridors and 2 corners before getting to my side 🤣. You pass through people cooking and doing their business.

When it rained, the walls got damp nd cold af.
Upon I like cleanliness, that wasn't the same case for my neighbors. My room was always neat but I dey kill roaches on a daily.
Obiagu, Enugu

I moved after 6 months.

After they showed you the place, how come you ended up paying to live there?
You had no other option?

sharone21:
19) They usually prefer brushing their teeth outside even when God promotes them to living in a flat or duplex.

There is a proverb in my place that when a King wanted to visit another person with his slave, he begged the slave to behave himself well so that nobody will look at him as such. However, when they arrived as guests to his rich master's fellow rich friend's house, the slave immediately sat on the floor even when the master was seated on the chair and beckoning on him to come sit with him.

lol..the brushing teeth outside is so me bro, even till now.

I can relate to number 16 she would come and wake me around 9 to go message for her, very pompous lady she later met her march though and had to park out.

I was broke, it was cheap and close to my PPA.
Housing is very expensive in Enugu

At a time it became long and boring

I belong to no 12 as a single working class man

That's too harsh on him. He only shared his perception about face me I face you house. It is clear that he was wrong, but you can correct him in a more polite way

I remember the good, sweet old days in Lagos

DrAkpamudehe:
And for 3yrs, U couldn't save to build even a 1bedroom bungalow in mowe or any outskirt? I am sure U are not from the east.

My father has a 4 floor building in the same area, he collects 650,refused to move it to 850,its far more spacious (old decent house) than here (developper house.. P. O. P lanje) he asked me how do i expect them to cope, i am yoruba, its stupid for anyone to be attacking igbos, you are all being used...

Its not about being able to afford it, the tv is more than 1.5,desktop and laptop are more than 2.5...its about value, if it was in lekki where clients pay 100k for what i do, its understandable, this is mainland where i can hardly charge 25.

Papaalpha79:
House that is not built by you is called face me and slap you, even if you are living in 3bedroom with other tenants is same thing. May the Almighty build house for us all

Please stop this I-too-know. A face me I face you house is usually a 1-room apartment.
