It's a great move especially as the social media is doing more harm than good to teenagers. Recall some few days ago in France when the young girl came out crying and apologizing in the Court of how she lied over her teacher on social media who was subsequently beheaded in 2020. I wish Nigeria will take a leap from this. The question still remains the sincerity of passing and enforcing such a law. |

This should also be adapted here in Nigeria for the sanity of our kids. Social media is messing with our kids mental health. I mean it. |

Parents should not give kids smartphones till they are 17. Note, I said smartphone. It will help their lives and they will know not to fall for pressure. Our parents denied us some things to train us for life. We can pull the plug because we did not die. That time, it was T.V. time but as an adult you too can now see that you did not need to watch the T.V. all the time. The same for games. You will never progress in life when all you do is consume. |

Really commendable. This should be done in Nigeria, teenagers below 18 years should not be allowed access to social media,they need to leave Facebook and face their book. The way they can do it is by using our voters card as access,whoever doesn't have it can't register,if they use NIN,even most children now have NIN,so voters card is the best. |

I hope if this law is passed in Nigeria, we will not curse the government? |

chipet67:It’s about being wise. It’s glaring that the way real time informations is being decimated happens to be a threat to the norms. Many things 10 year old kids know now that you never knew at 10. Not that you not wanting to know, but you never had a platform to readily access. |
