"Face-me-I-face-you" or "Face-to-face" is an informal term for a type of residential real estate in Nigeria, where a group of one- or two-room apartments have their entrances facing each other along a walkway, which leads to the main entrance of the apartment building. "Face-me-I-face-you" apartment buildings are a very common architectural style in major urban settlements in Nigeria; the flats are low rent and are commonly used by low-income Nigerian residents because of their affordability.
In this layout, the toilets, bathrooms, and kitchen space are usually shared among tenants in a yard, a term for a single block or row of apartments. The shared toilets and kitchens are referred to as "general kitchen/toilet".[1][2]
