The on-screen text in the video read:

“Day 27 of house hunting in Lagos. A burial ground at the apartment corridor.”

Explaining further, she stated that a grave was located directly in the corridor leading to the apartment. This meant that residents would have to pass by the gravesite whenever they entered or exited the building.

“Will you pay for this house if it was you?” she asked. “We went to inspect the house and right in front of the flat downstairs, there is a burial ground. If you want to enter your apartment, there is a burial ground at your corridor.”

She admitted that the apartment itself was spacious and well-designed, with a modern kitchen and good finishing. She also noted that there were other units in the building without the same view.

Despite liking the apartment, she said she could not pay for the apartment because of the grave’s location.
