Nigerian content creator Carter Efe is facing intense backlash after a video surfaced showing him driving while his young daughter sat on his lap.

Several social media users reacted strongly, calling for accountability and stricter adherence to safety rules.
See their reactions:
Benassi: In a sane Society, you might never be able to drive again, you’ll lose that child to child services and they’ll send you to a mental institute. WHAT IS THIS MADNESS?
Tweeter Headmas: If Nigeria was a sane country, his driving license will be revoked, and the child will be taken from him.
Daddy Lewa: That “good Nigeria” you people cry about if it actually worked, most of you would be in jail. Just look at this fool driving with his kid on his lap.
Sheni Coker: A lot of people would be in jail if Nigeria were a working country.
Emmanuel OBISESAN (@el_obisesan): Thank God say I don taste better system, me sef for think say this nonsense wey Carter did was normal. Both the licence and the pikin for don go.
Oserin: this what happens when you have a baby for a silly man. see what he’s doing w your life’s blood.
Angel: This is very dangerous, one sudden stop or distraction could end in tragedy. It puts the child and everyone else on the road at serious risk. I honestly can’t understand how anyone would think that’s okay, let alone share it publicly.
Nemi: Some Nigerians are actually quite senseless. Driving with a small child on your lap. At night too. Insanity.
Sir Teeman (@olateeman): He has a seatbelt on but still has child on his leg. This is child endangerment and if we truly have laws in Nigeria, some actions must be taken.
Oly baby: You think they’re only acting like a fool for content. They are actually fools in real life.
The incident has further fueled criticism of the entertainer, with many questioning the judgment behind the act and stressing the importance of child safety.
