A video circulating on TikTok has sparked outrage on social media, capturing the moment a baby is dedicated to the gods.
In the footage, a masquerade carries the baby and places him on a collection of charms, often referred to as “juju.” This ritual appears to be a part of a cultural or traditional ceremony that many viewers find unsettling. The imagery in the video has raised numerous questions about the practices involved and the implications for the child.
The baby is laid on the ground, where red oil is rubbed on his body as part of a prayer ritual. This act, which is often seen in various traditional rites, has ignited debate about the appropriateness of such rituals, especially concerning infants. Critics argue that such practices may not be suitable for children and could be considered harmful or exploitative. The video has drawn widespread concern, with viewers flooding the comment section to share their reactions and voice their unease about the ritual’s implications for the child’s well-being and cultural appropriateness.
