A Nigerian man has shared a hilarious yet bittersweet account of hosting what he described as the biggest birthday party of his life, only to pass out before midnight and miss out on all the fun he had planned.
In a now-viral post on X (formerly Twitter), the man, identified as @barisukafx, narrated the extravagant preparations he made for the celebration. He revealed that he spared no expense, renting a four-bedroom apartment for the occasion and arranging for a massive supply of drinks from a friend who owns a wine shop. He vividly described how the weight of the drinks visibly pressed down the taxi that delivered them.
The party took an even livelier turn when his birthday twin—a friend renowned for her social connections—invited her extensive network of friends. The event quickly transformed into a full-blown affair, with an estimated 150–200 guests filling up the house and spilling over into the outdoor area.
The man recounted how the party atmosphere was electric, featuring a skilled DJ who had everyone dancing and an abundance of drinks to keep the celebration going. To top it off, he even hired strippers to add an extra layer of entertainment. However, his night took an unexpected turn when he overindulged in alcohol too early. He admitted to gulping down a bottle of an unfamiliar drink, which led to him passing out before the clock struck midnight.
How I missed out on my big birthday party
“Some years ago, I decided it was a great idea to throw a big birthday party. I booked a 4-bedroom apartment and called my guy that has a wine shop to supply drinks. He came with cartons of so much drink, you could visibly see that the weight of the taxi he came with had pressed down.
“I have a friend that we share the same birthday and she’s the life of the party, so she knows a lot of people. We usually celebrate birthdays together, so she invited her friends. I knew I was expecting people because of her, but I wasn’t prepared for the crowd that came. We had the 4-bedroom completely filled till we had an overflow outside. Estimates say we had like 150-200 people.
“Everyone drank from their bottle and we had a mad DJ that got everyone on their feet. I took a bottle of drink that I don’t remember the name and was gulping it till I passed out before 12am.
I threw up so much and by the time I woke up at 6am, I saw a few people just leaving. I heard they had so much fun and the DJ didn’t stop playing. Nobody left till 5am.
So here’s what happened….I threw the biggest birthday party of my life, drank so much so early, and didn’t participate in it! It still pains me till this day…
Wait, did I mention I also had strippers? Yeah, I paid for that too and didn’t even get a lap dance!”
Despite the humor in his narration, the post resonated with many who sympathized with his regret over missing out on his own meticulously planned celebration. The incident has since sparked conversations online about pacing oneself during parties to avoid similar situations.
