A distraught Nigerian woman has taken to social media to make an emotional appeal for employment, stating that she is “gradually getting to my breaking point” due to prolonged joblessness.

In a video shared via her personal TikTok page, #Koredudu, on Saturday, the distressed woman made a heartfelt confession about her desperate situation, urging Nigerians to channel the same energy used to spread negative content into helping her secure employment.

“I have a confession to make. I have a confession to make and I think I’m gradually getting to my breaking point,” she said in the video, her voice laden with emotion.

“It is not actually easy coming to face the camera but please, the way the same energy people put into making negative things go viral on social media space, please, help me put in this energy,” she appealed.

She expressed deep concern about her psychological well-being, hinting at fears of what might happen if her situation does not improve soon.

“I don’t know what will happen when I get to the peak of my breaking point but I can’t do anything later. I just need a job, please. I’m begging you guys, please,” she said.

The emotional video has sparked widespread conversations on social media about Nigeria’s unemployment crisis and the mental health toll of prolonged joblessness, particularly

among young Nigerians.

The post quickly resonated with numerous job seekers who flooded the comments section with similar tales of desperation.
