Coffin on okada? Viral video leaves Nigerians in shock

Residents of Ibadan were left stunned after spotting a man riding a motorcycle with a full-sized coffin strapped behind him.

The unusual sight quickly caught attention as the rider navigated through the city’s roads with the coffin balanced and tied using ropes.

The videos of the incident have since gone viral on social media, drawing both shock and laughter from Nigerians. Many viewers described it as another example of the country’s unique street realities.

Eyewitnesses claimed the rider seemed unfazed despite the odd load, suggesting it might be a delivery from a local carpenter or undertaker. Still, the sight left many speechless, wondering about the risks involved in transporting such items on a busy road.

A similar scene was captured in Enugu, where another motorcyclist was seen carrying a white coffin through a junction.

The image, which surfaced shortly after the Ibadan video, further fueled the conversation about unconventional transport methods in Nigeria.

Locals said such scenes are not entirely new, especially in towns where motorbikes remain the most accessible means of movement.

The Enugu rider, however, became the latest symbol of the country’s creative and sometimes risky hustle culture.

On social media, Nigerians expressed a mix of humour and disbelief, with some joking that “you never see Lagos own” and others urging drivers to “move past quickly.” The reactions highlight how easily strange events now capture national attention online.
