Nigerian actor and comedian Bovi Ugboma shared candid insights into his parenting style during a recent podcast session. The comedian, known for his humor and relatability, revealed that he is not an advocate of physically disciplining children, even when his patience is tested.
Bovi recounted an incident where his son, in a fit of anger, broke their television. While many parents might have resorted to beating, Bovi explained that he chose a different approach. He emphasized his belief in finding alternative ways to correct and guide children, rather than resorting to physical punishment.
“I’m not an advocate of beating children,” Bovi stated firmly. “My son broke the TV when he got angry, but I didn’t beat him. I’ve realized there are better ways to discipline and teach them accountability.”
His statement has sparked conversations online, with many applauding his progressive approach to parenting. Others, however, expressed differing views, reflecting the ongoing debate around discipline and upbringing in Nigerian households.
Bovi’s take sheds light on modern parenting methods that prioritize communication and understanding over traditional forms of discipline. By sharing his experience, the comedian not only entertained listeners but also sparked a meaningful discussion on raising children in today’s world.
