13 Things People Who Grew Up In ‘face-me-i-face-you’ Compounds Can Relate With by YorubaDemon(op): 1:46am On Aug 27, 2016
In the heart of different cities in Nigeria, lies certain aggregation of houses known as ‘Face-Me-I-Face-You’. The life over there is on a whole-noda-level, I tell you.

So for those that had the ‘luxury’ of growing up in such quarters, these are some of the things they can understand perfectly:

1. The struggle to bathe every morning

With just one bathroom for 50+ people, I don’t need to explain the struggle.
