Erudite, a concerned citizen, expressed deep distress over the video, stating,

Seeing a child smoke shisha is a heart-wrenching and concerning sight, and this was possibly recorded by an adult. This indicates the absence of necessary parental guidance and support. Parents must instill awareness of smoking’s risks and exemplify healthy decision-making.

On the other hand, some netizens like @Vawulencia had a different perspective, commenting,

She knows what she’s doing. Na egg Dey become chicken later, make una leave her 😅😅.

Damola voiced frustration with the parenting situation, saying,

Smoking shisha at a young age. Who’s raising these kids?? 🤦🏾‍♂️ These generation parents stress me so much.

Ladyque pointed out the broader issue, saying,

So many untrained children making children.

User “Man down” questioned both the girl’s upbringing and the person recording the video, suggesting,

Who raised her, and who is videoing her? They should arrest whoever is videoing that child.

taiwo_junzi condemned the exposure of children to harmful substances, asserting,

Exposing children to alcohol and cigarettes like this is also child abuse. The child should be taken away from her parent and those responsible for her.

nadia_osayi called for child protection services in Nigeria, emphasizing the need for well-funded programs to rescue children from unsafe environments.

She stated,

We need child protection services in Nigeria. A well-funded program that can remove kids from useless homes and take proper care of them until they can fend for themselves. This is highly irresponsible of the parents and disgusting to watch.
