A Nigerian woman residing in the USA stumbled upon a bundle of canes typically used for disciplining children in a store and shared her utmost surprise on TikTok.
The lady in question was taken aback as she did not expect to find such items in an American store, where child punishment is not as culturally accepted as it is in other parts of the world.
@hildaehidiamen Guess what I found in an Africa store America . #hildainamerica
She discovered the canes in an African American store and was informed by the store owner that the bundle used to be full, indicating the mass patronage of these canes.
The video has sparked conversations on TikTok about cultural differences in child discipline methods.
For many users of the platform flogging or caning is one of the oldest and most effective methods to bring up young ones in this era. Canes have been used since time immemorial in many parts of the African community and finding such an item in the US is really crazy.
