A young Nigerian girl sets tongues wagging on social media over her decision to stop and pray by the roadside during time for prayer.

A video garnering tons of reactions captured the moment a Muslim girl disregarded the environment she found herself to observe a prayer.

The child dropped her school bag and neglected passersby while focusing on the sound from a nearby mosque in honour of the Friday Jumat prayer.

The video has since stirred speculations from social media users who quizzed on her safety while others simply applauded her dedication to her religion.
