Why do parents ‘shame’ their children online? In the wake of a string of viral ‘shaming’ videos, we meet the dad who has made a film of his own, telling parents to put a stop to the practise. It has been watched more than 20 million times on Facebook. When Aisha Buhari – Nigeria’s new first lady – wore what appeared to be an expensive watch to her husband’s inauguration ceremony, social media users were not impressed. But what is the significance of the ‘bling’, and what does it tell us about the nation’s mood. And, find out about the Moroccan film about prostitution that has been banned from cinemas by the government but been viewed by millions online. Joining us in the studio is ѿý Focus on Africa presenter Peter Okwoche. (Photo: Embarrassed child. Credit: Thinkstock)
