Nigerian comedian Destalker, also known as Oghenekowhoyan Onaibe Desmond, has revealed why he left his position as an undertaker.
Destalker said that even though he was loving his work, a regrettable situation forced him to resign.
He remembered that after they threw up the casket, he and his coworkers were dancing with it when it abruptly burst into pieces.
In an interview with TVC, the comedian revealed this.
He said he was terrified by the incident and that made him give up on his job.
According to him, “When I joined the undertaker band initially, I wasn’t carrying caskets. I was only dancing because I know how to dance very well. I won best Makossa dancer in my street before.
“But after six or seven months, I started carrying caskets. I was really enjoying it but there was an incident that happened. Let me tell you why I stopped because by now I’m supposed to have my own undertaker band. We went to carry a female corpse from Asaba to Igbuzo. When we were about to enter the compound, the children of the deceased asked us to dance with the casket. As we were throwing it up, suddenly, it shattered. The coffin is fake.
“It wasn’t funny. That was how I lost interest in the undertaker job.”
