Mixed reactions have trailed a viral video, in which a father was seen flogging his 18-year-old daughter for joining a WhatsApp group against his order.

In the now-viral video, the father was flogging the girl with belt on her buttock, while a female voice, apparently the mother, was asking the girl for the offence she committed.

It was learnt that the father told his 18-years-old daughter not to join a WhatsApp group, an order that was flouted by the daughter.

The incident has ignited the social media debate on parenting.

In recent times, the Nigeria social media space has been in constant argument on the best approach to parenting, with some believing that strict discipline should be inculcate in child through cane, while some are of the opinion that flogging should not be used to inculcate discipline in a child.

The recent video has been greeted with mixed reactions from Nigerians.

Some argued that the girl at 18 was old enough to associate with any group, on and offline.

Some came in defense of the father, arguing that the father has the right to discipline his daughter and control her association with people.

This "she's 18" Trend ehn.
The fact the father flogged her like that doesn't mean he hates her or he's cruel. My Dad might flog me for doing something wrong still he'd praise and pamper me when I do things right.
The girl recording needs beating too.

This she’s 18 trend ehn?

I go soon choke?

But fr fr in Nigeria most ladies from the age range of 18-24, can’t open their mouth and say they have a boyfriend to their parents.

What happened was not all that right,But anyways 'This is Nigeria'(in falz’s voice).

After seeing this she’s 18 trend next generation parenting will simply be children rearing children.

Omo I just realized how differently me and my siblings were raised after seeing so many peoples opinions on this She’s 18 trend and all I can say to my parents is Thank you ?

She's 18 is a useless trend. You think you can copy how to rise a child from the western world to Nigeria, you can try it but i bet you the Nigeria factor will make you bend. I was 25yr when my Dad gave me the slap that change my life. i never regret it one beat, if not i would

these boys on this she’s 18 trend saying how many slaps they’ll give their children, hypocrites. They’ve become smokers and substance abusers, rapists, insensitive retards, after all the slaps they got and because of this culture of violence they grew up in, they live in denial.

I hope She's 18 will also trend when an 18 year old drop out of school, get pregnant or do something bad.

No one should blame it on poor parenting ohoo.

Keep staying stupidity woke!

That “She’s 18” trend is probably one of the reasons parenting will be difficult in the next generation. You always find every means to condone what is absurd and unacceptable; misplaced priorities be affecting the way many of you think.

Just watched the video making this she's 18 trend. Brought back very painful memories and rage I've suppressed over the years.
Parenting should be firm, but nobody will torture or humiliate any child of mine like that

It's actually very funny seeing how people are commenting on this She's 18 trend…
See the way the father is modestly flogging the Girl.

?I can remember the way my father used to flog me, no! beat me, I will spin 3 times in the air before landing on the Ground???

Truth is flogging really won’t change anything. I guess people against the she’s 18 trend should know being 18 years is adulthood and giving her a mouthful would been in a better choice, in my opinion tho

Head dey big pass knock
