In terms of the poor parenting, We have seen how Nigeria parents handle upbringing, some of them want their kids to have all enjoinments as a kid, some of them restrict too much enjoyment but the main upbringing has to do with a lot of actions to be taken care of at every stage. The father, as a major player, has failed in this responsibility, leaving the mother to handle everything on her own. Many fathers barely spend time, even if it is only 5 minutes with their children allowing the mother to do what she could, and a gap that will need to be filled will be left unguarded...the kids who are already mobile phone users will pick up the rest of the home training on the go' in the streets, mobile, while exploring the internet, he or she will find a particular app very interesting one, who doesn't like'TickTok?

Tiktok is the most popular and widely used video-sharing app on Africa's most popular social media platforms. This app allows users to share videos in a simple and free manner via their phone. It appears that this software has no negative effects on Africans' social lives, but this is not the case when further investigation is conducted into its use.
The impact of tiktok as a negative influence on young people and other social groups was a concern. Based on my research, it does not imply that there is no way to mine, but only in some bad ways, or to see other people's privacy without their permission. It can, however, be changed if you try to change the way you think about it and change it through work.
Tiktok is a social media application that allows people to create videos, but the majority of them are bad and cause people to do bad things. It's bad because of the wrong people. Some of them are conversing in a bad language, using foul language, and using derogatory terms..
In Africa, this App has resulted in the emergence of a number of negative social phenomena. It generates a great deal of negative opinion, which has an impact on children's emotional development and promotes self-destructive ideas. The video contains numerous problems, causing the child to develop a cluster thinking mentality and a lack of ability to deal with behavioral failures.
Pro-tiktok, pro-everything else in the world, tiktok is yet another dangerous application that teens should become well-versed in. But it's the short videos of schoolgirls and teenagers picking their messy hair, lips, and tongue... It is common for teenagers and young children to become addicted to various online apps, particularly tiktok. And there are numerous reasons for children's addiction to addictive applications.
TikTok is a major source of child exploitation, trafficking, and abuse in Africa. We are having a difficult time combating this issue in Africa because Tiktok is their first social network, and they see it as their only way to connect and make friends.
Tiktok is an unsuitable tool for African adolescent users. It's a tool that promotes the spread of HIV, good and safe sex practices, the dangers of "sexting," and other topics about making healthy choices via a series of videos, messages, and graphic content delivered via chat and video.
Tiktok is a bad tool for African teenagers because it causes depression , ritual killings and suicide among African teenagers. Many young people seek validation on social media, but this app is not the most dependable way to make friends or receive helpful advice from strangers.
The problem begins when your child, who is supposed to be in school, feels challenged by every challenge on this app, challenges that may require them to dance naked to some sex related contents, music, or sex slangs, and then in a challenge you will want to impress your audience the more naked they appear the more audience they get and they find happiness in doing so without hesitation, become addicted to it, and are always on the go to play part in any challenge that comes their ways, We recall a "silhouette" challenge in which they had to appear completely naked and dance to a specific song, but the app has a filter feature that changed the appearance of their uploaded naked video. living the original naked video to this app owner and other vendors, we remember the ''shedibalabala challenge' also , to mention few .
Dear Parent, instead of focusing on who is to blame for your child's exploitation, accept the reality on the ground and take strict measures to solve your own problem.
If you visit a tiktok, you don't have to be a registered member to gain access to any available content; you're just a click away from seeing naked of every girl in your street, for example, they use a hashtag # on each video they upload to make it go viral and be available for a quick search, dear parent, I dare you to visit tiktok today and use the search button to search for example #Twearking, #Shedibalabala.
You will see your children that you sent to school on video where most of them appear naked, at home especially during the holidays these children do not have enough time to upload bad contents, but the fun will continue as soon as they get away from you.
TikTok as an app is not designed for all of these purposes, it is the African misapplication that makes it appear that way, there are a lot of short clips that are educational, motivational, and some religious contents are there as well, but your child is very likely to fall into the wrong part of it easily, they mostly want to grow their audience and make money on the app.
Finally, each piece of content on this app has a #, and some of these hashtags have been used more than 200 billions of times, which means that if your content is available on any of these #hastags, it is likely to have been viewed by millions, if not billions, of users all over the world...
As a Tiktok user, you will fall into the trap of Tiktok... and people will blackmail you in the future, use your photos and videos in bad ways... for example, when your child turns to a mother or father, their sex content is still available for free, and some of them may not even have the privileges' to delete them in the future.. in terms of usage TickTok has highest number of users in the world supersing YouTube and Instagram , TIKTOK has shown gesture to this by expanding it video length from 3 minutes maximum to 10 minutes maximum. also, recently, TikTok under US government investigation on child sexual abuse material.
