In a daring stunt, a Nigerian man identified as Young C spent 23 hours buried alive in a coffin.
On Thursday, Young C provided updates on his Instagram account, letting his followers know that he was still alive and okay, despite running out of water. 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 announced his intention to be buried alive for 24 hours on Wednesday. He shared a video on his Instagram, emphasizing that the stunt was genuine and not a hoax. He had also planned 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. However, he remained determined 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, which he successfully completed.
Despite the potential dangers involved, Young C’s daring stunt has captivated social media users, raising questions about the motivations and risks behind such extreme challenges.
