Cheap housing Lagos Nigeria - Many Nigerians living in Lagos cannot afford anything other than cheap housing. But while searching for affordable housing, they also desire good living conditions. Those two don't seem to go very well together. But hey, there's a way.

Here are the options open to you if you desire affordable housing in Lagos Nigeria and don't have the cash to back your fantastic dreams.

1. Single rooms in a building with several rooms facing each other or a building with several rooms built in an 'L' or 'U' shape. This is the kind of apartment often referred to in Lagos Nigeria as "face me I face you" or jokingly as "face me I slap you" .

These cheap housing or buildings are characterized by the fact that there are many rooms (as much as ten rooms per building) sharing small facilities like kitchen, toilet, and bath.

Sanitary conditions in this type of apartments are usually at the lowest ebb because a huge mass of people are sharing pretty small facilities.
