Until he gets to the age that the child can afford it OR when the child has gained admission to higher education. QED.

Till University

At what age should a girl be allowed to twerk on social media.

After moral sex education in teenage years from about 13.

By that age, he or she is accountable for their actions.

the internet should rather be regulated
you can't ask an 18 or 15 years old not to use a mobile phone for this generation, other countries don waka pass us.

I think After Secondary school too.But sometimes the child needs the phone as early as possible in case of emergency.Whst matters most is proper upbringing and prayer too.Because some children can still get access to phone from other children and sometimes from older adults which is bad because you can't monitor them.

emergency? Lol. Did the generations without mobile phone die because of that? Cant you give the child a nokia torchlight phone for emergency calls ?

I started using phone when I was in ss2

World don turn upsidedown, 7years old don dey use iPhone

It's doesn't matter, Africans are afraid of their children having access to porngraphy LOL.

It's a spirit and God given to have the knowledge of everything including sex, when the time comes for them to know, they will know regardless of their physical age that you only understand and not their internal and mental maturity.

Interested of picining, learn to talk to your child about sex, consequences, rewards, timing/marriage, etc.

at age 5

because u don't know when to use STOLE

I don't know but i'll personally use the format my parents used on me. Once i was in junior secondary school i was given a java phone during the weekend only once i got to senior i was given an android still weekends only when i was i through with my ssce was i given full freedom on my phone

This typical nonsense excuse for making the same stuuupid decisions.

What emergency are they likely to be looking for on the internet?

I would love to see stats of the "emergencies" children have been involved in in Nigeria (or even any other country) that they needed internet for vs the number of children with phones with internet.

You people will do stuuupid things and then turn to prayer to give you the right thing.

You give your child internet, you effectively give them a third parent (or second if you are a single parent). End of!

The internet will help raise your child and determine their moral values, at a period while their brain is still learning and is malleable.

Your wife will be mother, Cardi B will also be the mother. So is Nicki Minaj and co. You can gaddam pray all you want.

Yeye "emergencies"!

when they are mature enough.

Got my first phone at 12/13, but the internet wasn't as toxic as it is now.

So many social media apps with lewd contents, spam ads leading to p0rn sites, etc.

For me, I'd get them smart devices with no internet connections from 5/6. Access to internet will be granted but closely monitored with google parental controls by 15/16.

I canor shout abeg.

Vinnie2000:
@the age of 14 when they are in SS1 or SS2. But you as the parent should tell dem about d evils of pornograghy, cybercrimes,etc.

And their friends and peers will send them a clip of the girl with the big breast that was giving a nice BJ that they saw.

Who do you think they are most likely to listen to?

After mastering integration and differential calculus

A child can have a phone as early as 15 or even earlier.

However, I will restrict the access to the internet. I will especially block facebook, set a limit on YouTube say 30 Minutes per day, lock instagram, snap chap …I Dey undecided on WhatsApp.

To conclude, The fact that cars get into accidents doesn’t mean we shouldn’t use cars but apply prescribed caution

Phone itself is a great tool if used properly, what one should watch for however is Social Media

22yrs. Though I bought phones for kids at age 5 but it's just for watching cartoon and playing educational games.. once they reach 8 or 9 I will collect it if it's available by then.

No o!

Prayers will be a adblocker according to Nigerians.

Once you say "Jesus" or "Allahu Akbar", the phone will just block these.

Yeye people!

Someone mentioned emergency and people are already attacking her. People I am sure do not have kids nor have they had to babysit even a dog.

You think parents give their kids smartphones just because they want to? Some do, not all.

In this busy generation, parents video call their kids regularly to check on them. You don’t just leave them with the nanny or whoever and assume all is well.

If they didn’t use phones in 1902, that is on them. They also didn’t use emails, they trekked kilometres with scrolls. You can revert to that, since you are so fixated on the bad side of technology.

The most important thing is PARENTAL CONTROL. A lot of parents do not know how to implement this, even on electronic appliances.

5yrs old kids in India are coding and you are here saying your child wouldn’t use internet until they are 72. Mtcheeew!

So long she carried that child tag, no time
