Tiktoker @morynesiima pranked her mother that she had found a suitor willing to pay her dowry and marry her The mother sounded enthusiastic until the daughter mentioned that the mubaba was a retired engineer aged over 65 years “What do you mean retired?” the mother prodded, breathing heavily .
The young woman quickly disclosed it was a prank before the mum collapsed.
On the other end of the call, the mother could be heard lovingly asking the daughter to go ahead with the news. In a TikTok video by @morynesiima, the young woman forewarned her followers against trying the prank on soft-hearted people.
The daughter informed her that she had fallen in love with a man who was ready and willing to pay a dowry and marry her. At first, the mother was enthusiastic about the news and asked for details about the suitor.
“His name is Fred, a retired engineer in Dar es Salaam,” she threw in the mischievous prank. “What do you mean retired?” the mother prodded. “Retired from active service. Simply put, he is an old man,” she asserted.
From the sound of her mother, the prankster could tell that the woman was on the verge of collapsing wherever she was. At that point, the young woman noticed she had made a regrettable mistake as her mother started breathing heavily.
She quickly rectified the mistake to mitigate against a potential crisis and told her it was a prank. “I’m sorry mum, please forgive me,” the daughter pleaded. The relief in the mother’s voice could be heard as the daughter kept reassuring her that she was joking.
