A high school student has become the centre of attention and elicited pity on social media after smoking cigarettes like a pro in a video.
The young girl sits calmly with a cigarette in her hand, deftly inhaling and exhaling smoke, attracting the attention of social media viewers in the video.
The video, captioned: “A schoolgirl was seen smoking today on the street while her mates are in school. Parents really need to do better,” has generated significant discussion.
Many people have raced to the comment area to offer their thoughts on the young girl’s behaviour.
Here are some reactions:
@Dirawnn: “Omo, she no just start o! She don turn pro! Damn!”
@ugochuks042: “She is a special education need and disability child. She needs help urgently.”
@dammygtnet: “It may not be the fault of the parents per se but of peer group. Most of the youthful exuberance do emanates from friends.”
@BunmiBumex: “I don’t think this is Nigeria not withstanding this girl should be taken care of….too young for this!”
@Dreyfuzzy: “This is indeed very painful to see. I wonder truly about her parents or guardians. Just an observation… This is not Nigeria … their pidgin sounds very different.”
@daddysugar2023: “The society also brings up the child, not just the parents . This can’t happen in Nigeria cos it’s obviously SL. Naija, them go beat you carry u go house show ur papa.”
@kaykayklef: “Sometimes it’s not about parents nowadays. What they see being portrayed in the media regularly will erase everything you’ve taught them.”
