In her words:
Some of us no really get genuine love. And it's heartbreaking. Some of us we get people but, e be like say we no get anybody."
Despite her pain, the woman ended her message with a note of hope, encouraging herself and others going through similar experiences.
“It’s not good. This too shall pass. It will,” she said.
The video has since drawn widespread reactions online.

In his words:
"While watching her video, I felt emotionally troubled, not for myself, but for her. She might not have shared the real issue on social media, but I can tell she has more going on in her life. What I would say is, she sould hold on to God, not man."

"Nigerian parents often don’t speak the language of emotional exhaustion. To them, tired means lazy, overwhelmed means lack of prayer, burnout turns to “when we were your age…' It is well."
