Hauwa, a Nigerian Twitter user, has shared the story of how a small boy slapped his mother in a bank in Lagos.

She admitted that she was tempted to slap the boy in order to caution him, but decided to hold herself back because he wasn't her son. She advised parents to keep their "uncouth children" at home.

"Today in the bank, ahead of me on a queue, a little boy slapped his mother. It was only the grace of God that it took to stop my hand from landing on his cheek. Please you people should be leaving your uncouth children in the house." she tweeted on Monday, December 12.
