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.

2. When need to take a dump and another tenant has been stuck in the toilet for the past one hour


After downing a plate of hot porridge beans, ukpaka, two boiled eggs and one bottle of Small Stout.

3. When it is time for monthly compound meeting

They will now start tabling all the fuckups in the compound like Mama Azeez, your soup dey too smell, you fit reduce the smell?

4. How you escape from your room when you see all your neighbors coming to say ‘WELCOME’ because you just came back from a trip


Don’t welcome me. Where did I go sef. Ordinary Cotonou and you people are welcoming me. If I now go to London nko?

5. All the kabashing and shouting that happen at the weekly prayer meetings



When the landlord leads the prayers and goes…. Every tenant, I say EVERY TENANT… holding my destiny should do what? Fall down and die! DIE! DIE! DIE!

FTC on a plater of Gold.. Today is my Great grandmother's nephew uncle wife's second child girlfriend father's sister BIRTHDAY.. Show Some Love.

6. After watching the Indian film – Teri Meherbaniyan, everyone in your compound will be like…



Especially that time the dog was crying by the graveside!

7. The other tenants, when Iya Bisi starts frying her delicious puff puff



Let me wait five minutes before I go and knock!

;Dsmellymouth i don show were u dey na

9. How all the tenants turn up for a neighbour’s child’s naming ceremony



*Now Singing* Ceeeeleeeebrayyyyshun time, c’mon, let’s celebrate!

10. When you are watching a movie and your neighbour’s children ‘chook’ head through your window



If I konk you people’s head now, they wee say I am wicked!

11. When they bring all the accumulated NEPA bill to the compound



We never hexperred it.

12. When two girls start fighting over boyfriend or stolen pant




*tears bra, weavon, pant and shimi*

Abeg, clear road make i park well bf ds hit FP ind mng.
*Modified*
@ Last, it hits FP, now I can drive to d next thread!

13. When NEPA brings light and the children in the compound will not let you hear word again



Now all the children wee be shouting ‘UP NEPA’, ‘UP NEPA’ upandan!

Driver continue I Neva reach bus stop

"I better pass my neighbour" generator noise will always cause problem.

Instead of living in a "face-me-i-face-you" compound, rather live in isolation.
