When your friend abandons your
clique because they “found love” it might be okay for you to organise a faux
funeral. Not in Nigeria, though.
A group of 50 Welsh boys held the
fake funeral for their friend, Keiran Cable, who had since neglected them
because he’s been spending a lot of time with his girlfriend.
The relationship has been on for
18 months and reality smacked his friends hard in the face that they have lost
their homie for good. Keiran is in love and there is nothing anyone can do
about it.
A leaflet handed out to mourners
read: “Thoughts are with Friends of Keiran at this dark time. However, they shouldn’t
grieve for him but wish him luck as he continues on in his next llife. Keiran
has had a tough 18 months trying to keep his friendship with his friends alive
but sadly, the wait is now over and has floated up to the gates of heaven. What
hurts the most is that we were starved of precious time to say our last
goodbyes after his relationship status changed from ‘single’ to ‘in a
relationship’. It is now time for us to finally say our last goodbyes by
raising a glass for our friend Keiran.”
Keiran thought it was funny and
went ahead to try out the coffin his friends made for him. He said: “As soon as
I walked into the pub, I was met by about 50 boys all suitd up and cheering. I
was in complete shock and didn't know what to say. My cheeks were aching from
smiling too much. The boys made a massive effort and it was definitely a day to
remember. I’m sure my girlfriend will be fine about it.”
As I told you earlier, this kind
of something cannot happen in Nigeria. In fact, as soon as your parents know,
they’ll organise prayer and fasting for you. They’ll give you prayer point
before the Man of God comes: “I shall not die but live, I shall not die but
live.” Hehehe... As if Jesus and Mohammed and Buddha didn't die while they were
on earth.
