In a viral video, a young mother of twins is seen breaking down in tears, visibly overwhelmed by the pressures of motherhood. With her face tear-streaked, she expressed her frustration, saying, “They are still crying!” Her distress intensified as she explained that her partner was not at home, and her own mother, who had helped her initially, had left after staying for weeks. Now left alone to care for her newborn twins and an older child, the young mother admitted, “I’m too young for this.”
The background of the video echoed with the cries of her children, further reflecting her emotional and physical exhaustion. Many netizens shared their thoughts on her situation. One netizen asked, “She’s too young to be a mother? So, when is she going to be ripe to be a mother? See her mouth like Lasisi’s own!” Others, however, showed empathy, with one user writing, “Sorry, sis. The Lord is your strength.” Another added, “Tell your man no worry us abeg, problems of Nigeria alone the hold all of us for neck.”
The video has sparked discussions on the challenges young mothers face, with many sending messages of support and encouragement, hoping she finds the strength to persevere.
