A widow who was seen sobbing on camera has beseeched President Bola Tinubu to address the growing challenges that Nigeria is experiencing.

The woman, who only goes by the name “widow,” talks desperately about the everyday challenges she and many other people in the nation go through.

“This is a plea to our president, Bola Tinubu, the hardship is stalling on us, most especially widows like me. I’m a widow with two children who are toddlers. I became a widow, your excellency (Tinubu) sir, because of the insecurity of Nigeria. My late husband was kidnapped in 2022 and was killed despite paying ransom,”she says, lamenting her frustration with the conditions under which many Nigerians live.

“Dear President Tinubu, please, I’m begging, the hardship is too much, the hardship is stalling on us. Everything is on the hike. Many young widows are suffering today. Please have mercy on us.”

She recounts the toll insecurity has taken on her family, which makes her plea all the more urgent.

“My children are fatherless because of insecurity and I’m still working hard and pushing but at this point I’m fed up, I’m tired, I can’t take it any longer,”she says.

She continues,“Your excellency (Tinubu) sir, I’m a law abiding and hardworking and despite the issue of insecurity in Nigeria made me a young widow and made my twins fatherless I still keep pushing. I still stay and live in Nigeria.”

“Dear Tinubu, I want you to have mercy on us, we are tired, the hardship is stalling on us. Before many of us begin to pkai (die) one by one. Have mercy on us, the hardship is too much. I’m educated,” she adds.
