A young man with a suspected deficiency in English language hilariously cursed himself on social media on his birthday.

An unnamed young man has cracked the ribs of Nigerians on Instagram after accidentally placing a curse on himself as he marked his birthday. The man mistakenly prayed for a 'heart disease' thereby attracting the response of one of his friends who appealed to God to ignore his wish.

He posted "Hbd to me lord, grant me my heart disease" in error, where he meant to type "heart desire".
