A Nigerian woman’s heartfelt plea has gone viral. She urgently desires to leave the country. Her passport’s upcoming expiration fuels this emotional appeal.

A video, widely shared by @yabaleftonline on X (formerly Twitter), shows her profound frustration. She spoke of the exhaustion stemming from Nigeria’s daily challenges.
“Will someone please help me depart this nation?” she implored. “I am weary. This country no longer suits my spirit. My passport expires soon. I am tired of quinquennial renewals. I am not lazy; I possess many valuable skills.”
She stated her readiness to adapt to various jobs. She wishes to contribute meaningfully anywhere globally. However, her contribution must be outside Nigeria.
“I am capable of diverse roles,” she affirmed. “I could serve as a personal driver or a chef. I can be a personal assistant. I would carry bags without complaint. Furthermore, I can cut hair, style hair, and apply nails. This country truly exhausts me. I will undertake any task to leave.”
Her emotional video swiftly garnered significant attention. Social media users shared an outpouring of reactions. One commenter sympathized, “I understand her distress; Nigeria tires everyone.” Another observer noted, “This country is depleting; I completely support her sentiment.”
The video has since sparked broader public discourse. These conversations address the intense pressures of Nigerian life. They also highlight the increasing desire for migration, or ‘japa.’ The emotional burden of daily existence in the country formed a key theme.
