A raw and emotional video of a young Nigerian woman expressing deep disappointment over her perceived lack of accomplishments at the age of 23 has gone viral. The video captures her tearful reflection on her current life stage.
In the poignant clip, the young woman recounts how her birthday began with a prayer from her mother. However, the moment of solitude that followed led to a wave of self-reflection and a feeling of being behind in life. She laments not pursuing education, not having a source of income through business or employment, and being without a romantic partner.
"It's my 23rd birthday today," she shares through tears in the video. "My mother came to pray for me, and after she left, the reality of my situation hit me hard. I'm 23 already. Twenty-five is just around the corner, and I feel like I haven't achieved anything significant."
She further elaborates on her feelings of stagnation: "I don't have a business, I'm not working, I'm not in school, and I'm not in a relationship. I'm just living passively. I believe I have a greater purpose than this, and I'm determined to change it. But right now, the weight of feeling like I'm running out of time and haven't fulfilled anything is immense. I feel a deep sense of pity for myself."
