A TikTok video featuring a family living at the peak of a cemetery in the Philippines has recently gone viral, capturing the fascination of many viewers. In the shared video, a woman, presumably the wife, proudly points to her unique home situated atop one of the tombs.
She takes a curious tourist on a tour of their apartment, introducing him to her husband, who happens to be a skilled tattoo artist, and their young son. The lady then leads the tourist up to the rooftop, providing him with a breathtaking view of the entire cemetery surroundings.
The unusual living arrangement has sparked a plethora of opinions and reactions from intrigued individuals who couldn’t help but comment on the remarkable sight. See some reactions below: @YaYaNef: “I absolutely love your understanding of other’s norms. Respect to you! While others are quick to judge/criticism- you are open and curious to learn.” @Izwan Lavio: “This reminds me of the song “Cemetery” by the Australian band Silverchair. Part of the lyrics – ” I live in the cemetery” @immygray: “You should look up happy land in Philippines, a whole city made in Manilas landfill. I volunteered there when I was younger, very eye opening.” @morena: “Live where ever is best some people have it harder than others sending blessings.” @JustCallMeKat: “I love the people of Manila I watch so many docs about them they are truly amazing people we can all learn from.” @lisamarie: “They living good compared to most I seen usually they got no light water food or fans jst a cold floor.” @Androidjen: “I honestly felt they are living their best life.

Governor Hope Uzodinma of Imo State Uzodinma on Wednesday while featuring on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme said, “When I came to Imo State, I met a moribund state, a state that was in distress. A state, I can even say, was in the cemetery; I exhumed the body.” The governor also claimed that “the infrastructure deficit in the State was so huge, all the roads were not motorable, and all the hospitals were not working” when entered office. “Given the situation in Imo State before 2020 when I became the governor and the situation of Imo State today, 2023, three years after, a lot of things are there for people to know that there is a huge difference”. In January 2020, the Supreme Court of Nigeria nullified the election of Emeka Ihedioha of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as the governor of Imo State and declared Hope Uzodinma of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as the winner of the March 9, 2019 governorship election in the state. In a unanimous judgment of a seven-member panel, read by Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun, the apex court agreed that results in 388 polling units were unlawfully excluded during the collation of the final governorship election result in Imo State.
