An elderly Nigerian man has left social media in shock after a video of him showing off his pre-arranged burial surfaced online.
In the now-viral TikTok video, the man is seen standing next to an already purchased coffin, pointing out that he has been making his own funeral preparations long before his passing. He even disclosed that his grave had been dug prior to acquiring the coffin.
When a voice in the video mentioned that the coffin looked damaged, the man calmly explained that he was currently saving up at the bank to buy a better one. According to him, this decision wasn’t sudden—it was influenced by personal struggles, especially concerning his son and his overall disappointments with how life and success had treated him.
His candid remarks, particularly the line “I’m saving up for a new coffin at the bank”, stirred emotional responses from viewers, many of whom were moved by his acceptance of mortality and apparent lack of fear about death.
The video’s comment section has since been flooded with mixed reactions—some praising his bravery, others expressing concern about his state of mind, and a few even injecting humor into the situation.
Regardless of the opinions, one thing is clear: the man’s unusual preparation for death has sparked a deep conversation online about life, legacy, and loneliness in old age.
