“I Quit My Undertaker Job After A Casket Broke While Dancing" – Destalker

 

Nigerian comedian Oghenekowhoyan Onaibe Desmond, popularly known as Destalker, has shared the reason behind his decision to leave his job as a pallbearer.

Destalker explained that he initially enjoyed the job and even had plans to start his undertaker band, but an unfortunate incident changed his mind.

In an interview with TVC, he recounted an event where he and his colleagues were performing with a casket, which unexpectedly broke apart when they tossed it into the air.

He expressed his fear following the incident, which led him to quit the job.

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”.
