Man declares survival – Buries himself in coffin for 23 hours

Witness the resilience of a Nigerian man, known as Young C, who embraced the challenge of spending a full day buried alive in a coffin and confidently announced his continuing existence in a viral video.

Embarking on the daring task on Wednesday, the skitmaker devoted himself to being encased in a wooden coffin furnished with only essentials such as a pillow, a hand fan, bedsheets, a power bank camera, and two light bulbs.

Young C took his audience on a live journey beneath the ground, streaming his extraordinary experience through his YouTube channel.

Providing an update via his Instagram account on Thursday, he assured his followers while catching his breath that he remains in the realm of the living, stating, “I am still well, everything’s fine. Some of you may have had concerns, but there’s no cause for worry, all is well.

“My only concern at the moment is the shortage of water; I may have to resort to consuming this (my urine). Nonetheless, I’m doing well, guys.”

In an earlier communication, Young C disclosed that he had been buried for over 8 hours and was grappling with physical discomfort, such as profuse sweating. He showcased a video from inside the coffin, demonstrating the continued operation of his camera and light, affirming his steadfast commitment to completing the challenge.
