A light-hearted but moment has gone viral online after a young "ajebo" child (a Nigerian slang for children raised in comfort or luxury) stunned her mother with a surprising reaction during her first-ever visit to a local market.  The mother, who took her daughter along after several pleas to "experience the market," the little girl froze shortly after they entered the busy environment. Observing the confused and slightly alarmed look on her face, the mother asked, “Chidimma, what did you say?” To which the child replied, “The market looks weird. I want to go home.” The innocent remark quickly made its way online, where it sparked a heated debate. Many netizens reacted with amusement, recalling their own childhood memories of being carried on their mother’s back to the market while still in diapers. "I’ve been going to the market since I was a toddler," https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mGUd1dg21k 4 Likes 4 Shares

Life is experience. Parents, take your kids out to the real world, it's part of education. Everything is not in school alone or the internet. You as a parent, you are the first source of education to your children, don't expect the teachers to do everything for you. Once this girl sees how mummy brings things to the house, she will understand mommy instead of being a spoilt kid. She needs to go to the market and find out how the real world works. How do you become a functional adult if you don't know where your food is from and how it is made. This is how parents spoil boys until they need your daughter to keep taking care of them as an adult. They can't cook, they can't boil water, everything is done for them and they become an entitled kid. Parents today are losing it. It's an experience that will make the girl grow. Stop leaving your kids in the hands of YouTube and TikTok. Let them get out to the real world. Parents are so protective today that the children can't do anything themselves. Sweet mother ❤️

These kids will be eating from television in the near future because the way they react to foods in their raw states is something else, my daughter saw corn, cat fish, chicken etc at a farm for the first time yesterday and her reaction was something else. 5 Likes |
