A Nigerian man has shared a funny yet frustrating experience when he threw the biggest birthday party of his life only to pass out just before midnight, causing him to miss the entire celebration.
In the viral post, the man was identified as @barisukafx, a wine shop owner.
The celebration escalated when his birthday friend, who is known to be sociable, invited her friends along, and the party became a packed event with an estimated 150-200 guests exiting the venue.
Despite a lively crowd, a talented DJ, and even a stripper hired for the night, @barisukafx admitted to drinking too much alcohol early on. As a result, he ended up missing out on all the fun. He writes: “A few years ago I had the idea to throw a huge birthday party. I booked a four-bedroom apartment and called a friend who owns a wine shop to buy drinks. He turned up with so many cartons of drinks that it was obvious the weight of the taxi he took.
“I have a friend whose birthday is on the same day as me and she knows a lot of people because she’s the life of the party. We always celebrate birthdays together, so she invited her friends. We knew we were expecting a turnout because of her, but we weren’t prepared for the crowd that gathered. The four bedrooms were completely full until more people started coming outside. We guessed there were around 150-200 people.
“Everyone drank from their own bottles, and we had a crazy DJ who got everyone on their feet. We grabbed bottles of some drink I forget the name of and drank until we passed out just before 12pm. I threw up so much that I woke up at 6am just to see a few people leaving. Apparently it was so much fun that the DJ didn’t stop playing. No one left until 5am.
And then it happened…I had the biggest birthday party of my life and drank too early and didn’t attend. It still hurts me…
Wait, did I mention I also had a stripper? Yes, I paid for one too and I didn’t even get a lap dance!”
