A young Nigerian parent has sparked widespread outrage on social media after styling their son's hair in a complex and controversial fashion.
A viral video circulating on various social media platforms shows a young boy proudly sporting a hairstyle known as 'Bantu knots'.
The child, who appears to be under the age of 7, caught the attention of many social media users who strongly criticized the parents for subjecting their child to such a complicated hairstyle.
Several netizens condemned this act as an outrageous practice by parents of the Gen Z generation, while others attributed it to a specific type of marriage associated with 'Yahoo boys'.
