Nigerians Share the Wildest Face-Me-I-Face-You Compound Stories

Living in a face-me-I-face-you house often means sharing bathrooms, water taps, noise and plenty of neighbourhood drama. Nigerians who have lived in these compounds shared the moments they still cannot forget. One resident recalled a water shortage that led to a fight over buckets at the tap. Another described a wife who publicly confronted her husband after catching him with another woman. There were also tales of a noisy generator damaged during a midnight dispute, an overly watchful landlady giving unwanted relationship advice, and a man embarrassed by a local-drinks seller over an unpaid debt. For many tenants, compound life came with as much drama as it did community.
