Netizens have reacted differently to a trending video that was shared on X formerly known as twitter by a tweep with the username @Dami’Adenuga.
The content in the video showed a girl who was crying profusely while are legs were buried into the ground by people around her.
According to the tweep he stated that the girl was four years old but she could not walk yet, hence the reason she is been halfway buried into the ground.
He attached a caption to the video that says “She couldn’t walk yet so they buried half of her body in the ground to make her walk.”
Quite a number of internet users however did not take the video likely as they saw it as a punishment that is traumatizing while others understood the process as a traditional one.
Below are some of the reactions;
@skye_wonder Stop traumatizing the little ones. This is not fair
@iamkennifizzle What’s the science behind this pls? Is this a solution? Any proven record?
@nellycent011 it’s not a punishment, it’s a traditional practice ppl believe it helps strengthens the child’s legs to walk
@NkyEzenwa She will walk after this experience…Some of you just need to ask questions and see some of our traditional ways still works….
@OlaSupercc As a parent why you go post this kind thing on social media? Not everyone believe in tradition na! You can do it without posting
