The well-known Nigerian comedian Destalker, also known as Oghenekowhoyan Onaibe Desmond, has shared his reasons for leaving his position as a pallbearer.
The comic stated that he was having fun at work and had planned to start his own undertaker band, but he had to step down due to an unfavorable situation.
In a TVC interview, he recounted how, while dancing with a casket, he and his colleagues flung it up and it suddenly broke into pieces.
He claimed that the occurrence had traumatized him to the point where he gave up on his work.
Destalker said, “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.
Nothing goes to waste on the journey of life. Both good and bad experiences shape your mind and heart for what is to come.
“It wasn’t funny. That was how I lost interest in the undertaker job.”
Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy
One ❤️❤️❤️
