A Nigerian man shares a hilarious yet painful experience of hosting the biggest birthday party of his life—only to pass out before midnight and miss all the fun.

In the viral post, the man identified as @barisukafx on X (formerly Twitter) narrated how he went all out for the celebration, booking a four-bedroom apartment and ordering a massive supply of drinks from a friend who owns a wine shop.

The festivities escalated when his birthday twin—a friend known for her social connections—invited her circle, turning the party into a packed affair with an estimated 150–200 guests spilling out of the house.

Despite the lively crowd, a skilled DJ, and even strippers he had hired for the night, @barisukafx admitted that he overindulged in alcohol too soon.

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 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!”
