At 23, you are not young. Young is not a jurisdictional term and being in Nigeria does not change the fact that 23 is adulthood. Interestingly, you only think you are young because you are a woman. Your peers are bothering 23 year old guys with bills and responsibility.
More than half of us will not be where we want to be at 23 because the country is tough and privileges are unevenly distributed. Nigeria is hard.23 is not young. Both truth can co-exist.
We should be more understanding of our national reality before placing expectation on people

That is one reason I'm not usually impressed with the question - "where do you see yourself in 5 years?" I am not impressed with your answer too no matter how beautiful. It is a luxury to accurately predict where you would be in 5 years as a Nigerian.
Life is in stages and men are in sizes. At 30,you may have not achieved anything and that is because life is in stages and men are in sizes. Be more compassionate about people's career stagnation and financial struggle. Uneasy lies the head of every carrier of Nigerian passport.
It goes without saying that you should never broke shame people. At least you understand how hard it is for your folks and siblings. Also be mindful of the responsibilities and expectations you place on others. They are carrying so much on minimum wage.
Whatever you do, keep pushing. It is not easy but in due season, you will reap if you don't faint. Trust me, there is no late comer to success and success is just as sweet at 40 as it is at 24.
