Woman reacts to those criticizing her for teaching her daughter how to defend herself against bullies

A Nigerian woman has received criticisms for the manner in which she’s teaching her daughter self-defense.

In a viral TikTok clip, the woman can be seen asking her daughter to punch her, scratch her face, as an example of what the girl must do to anyone who attacks or bullies her.

The video has sparked outrage online with some Nigerians questioning the woman’s method of teaching her daughter. Some observers also wondered if the woman in a bid to teach her daughter self-defense, isn’t unknowingly teaching her how to be a bully. However, in a reaction video, the mother claimed that her aim was to prepare her daughter for anyone who would dare bully her.
