Legally, children become officially of age when they turn 18. Most major decisions concerning their lives are taken by their parents or guardians as the case may be. But that does not mean bad or wrong decisions are acceptable. It can be contested or questioned by the public or people close to them. I remember a saying that 'children are for the whole public'.


Why am I on about child right in this article? It is about a picture making round on Twitter. The picture of a baby who doesn't look less than 3 months old with three piercing on her ears.

This got people really angry because according to them, it is all shades of wrong. What if the child grow up to hate the piercings? Another Twitter user said nowadays, children are not allowed to make their own choices and decisions in life. Someone said it is wrong to put the child through undue pain unnecessarily. Many people had a whole lot to say about the picture. See some few screenshots:


What's your take? Would you do this to your girl child because you feel you have the right? Remember, children grow up eventually and they might hate you or whatever you thought was right for them back then.

Her mother's choice.not hers.

Her mother's choice.not hers.

But it should be her choice, not her mother's.

few years from now.

When a RTD olosho gives birth and no one takes responsibility, she expects the child to be a replica of her.

Awwnn.. I just feel like cuddling that little cutie and nozzling her neck and lovely hair.

Baba God answer me o. I want a baby.

Though the multiple ear holes is not right. I also saw a 5 month baby with two recently and was wondering why the mother had to do that. They are Hausas so I guess it's their culture.

This baby's mother is definitely nuts! Wadapock!

You did single piercing on your girl child WITHOUT her permission, but you are condemning another person that did multiple piercings on her own female child without her permission...




Kindly define double standard

Double standard everywhere. The mother is not better or worse than other mothers who do only one piercing for their kids

Poor baby 2 should have been enough.

Some of us would have preferred the double/triple piercings at birth, though.

The pains of getting it now wouldn't let one undergo the process. Lol.

What about cultures/religion that also pierce the ears of their baby boys?

Ear piercing of infants means different things to different people.
