Reactions as Kano Children Dance in the Rain, Chant Controversial Songs About Buhari’s Death

A video has surfaced online showing a group of children in Kano dancing joyfully in the rain while singing songs that many viewers have described as controversial and politically charged.

In the short clip, the children, soaked from head to toe, can be seen clapping and moving rhythmically while chanting phrases in Hausa that appear to reference former President Muhammadu Buhari. The content of the chant has sparked a wave of reactions across social media, ranging from amusement to deep concern.

Some people believe the children's behavior reflects growing frustration among citizens, even at a young age, over past political leadership. Others, however, have criticized the video, arguing that such expressions are inappropriate for children and may be a reflection of what they hear from adults around them.

“This is more than just a dance; it says a lot about the environment they’re growing up in,” one comment read.

The video continues to trend on various platforms, fueling ongoing conversations about politics, parenting, and social influence on Nigerian youth.
