A Nigerian man, identified as Young C, has spent 23 hours buried alive in a coffin.
In an update on his Instagram account on Thursday he said, “Guys, I am still alive, I am still fine, I am okay. A lot of you might think something has happened, but nothing has happened, I am fine.
Breathing heavily he said, “My problem is just that I have run out of water, I might be forced to drink this (my urine). Guys, I am fine.”
Young C had embarked on this daring challenge on Wednesday, announcing his intention to be buried alive for 24 hours.
He shared a video on his Instagram account, emphasizing that the stunt was genuine and not a hoax. He also announced his plan to broadcast live footage from the coffin at night.
In an earlier update, Young C revealed that he had been buried for over 8 hours and was experiencing physical discomfort, including excessive sweating.
He shared a video from the coffin, showing his camera and light still functioning, and expressed his determination to complete the challenge.
This feat is reminiscent of a similar challenge undertaken by American YouTube personality MrBeast (Jimmy Donaldson), who buried himself alive for 50 hours two years ago to raise awareness about deforestation.
Recently, MrBeast attempted to break his record by spending 7 consecutive days buried in a coffin.
Despite facing physical and mental challenges, he completed the challenge and was finally exhumed, cautioning viewers against attempting similar stunts due to the potential dangers involved.
