A Nigerian man named Young C has undertaken a bold challenge by spending a total of 23 hours buried alive in a coffin.

He has been keeping his followers updated on his Instagram account and has reassured them of his safety, despite facing a shortage of water.

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.  

“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 initiated the task on Wednesday with the objective of being buried underground for a full day.

Prior to this, he had posted a video to disprove any doubts about the authenticity of his endeavor and revealed his intention to broadcast his entire experience live from the coffin during nighttime.

He posted a video from inside the coffin, showing that his camera and light were still working, and expressed his strong commitment to successfully finishing the task.

This challenge is similar to one undertaken by American YouTuber Mr Beast, who buried himself underground for 50 hours in order to bring attention to deforestation.

Recently, Mr Beast tried to surpass his previous record by spending a full week buried in a coffin.

Despite the physical and mental strain, he managed to successfully complete the challenge.

However, he warned viewers against trying similar stunts due to the potential risks involved.
