A video showing a mother piercing her baby daughter’s nose has gone viral and sparked widespread discussions on social media about child safety and cultural practices.
In the clip, the mother can be seen holding her young daughter piercing her nose.
According to the woman, performing the procedure at this age would be less painful as compared to when she grows older.
After the act, she asked the baby if it hurt, and gently reassured her that it did not.
Some social media users who have come across the video are defending the mother’s actions as part of cultural tradition, while others have criticised it as harmful to the child.

Similarly, @omolyaake… added, “If they arrest her now, she will be crying! Allow this toddler to enjoy being a baby.”
However, many expressed concern over potential harm.
@Youngsixtus questioned the mother’s approach, saying, “What is she trying to teach the little girl at this tender age? Some women and their ideology sometimes is weird.”
@Okaji commented, “If I were her husband, omoo it’s over! What nonsense.”
@Ifybekee wrote, “This is child abuse. The mother needs to be arrested. She is abusing the child’s rights as a minor.”
