A young Nigerian man has posted an emotional video in which he expresses frustration about his situation as he prepares to turn 27 in November. In the video, he said he continues to live with his parents, has no job or source of income, and struggles with loneliness. He said he has no close friends, romantic relationship, or active social life, adding that he feels left behind while trying to determine what to do with his life. Showing viewers the room where he sleeps, he explained that all his belongings, including his bed and pillows, were provided by his parents. "I feel like my life is wasting away. I'm isolated. I feel like I'm lagging behind so much," he said. The young man, who became emotional while speaking, said he had been trying to improve his situation by himself but had made limited progress. He acknowledged that he no longer knew where to begin and was tired of struggling without seeing any change in his circumstances.
