Nigerian comedian, Bovi Ugboma has shared some parenting advice, revealing that his son used to break televisions for fun when upset.
Speaking on the “Honest Bunch Podcast” with Nedu, Bovi explained that he does not believe in physically disciplining children and uses his own parenting approach as an example.
He revealed that his son, Chuchu, went through a phase where he would throw things and break TVs out of anger. However, with time, the boy began to show remorse and eventually stopped the behavior.
Bovi encouraged parents to avoid using violence as a form of discipline and instead allow children to learn from their mistakes.
He said, “I I don’t advocate for beating children. You should let children be.
“My son Chuchu dey break television for the fun of it. If he vex, he will throw stuff and break television. It got to the age where he got to, and I saw the remorse.
“He has broken three televisions. Thank God for capacity. If I couldn’t afford another TV, then the approach would have been different.”
Bovi Ogboma’s remarks sparked criticism from some Nigerians, who accused him of condoning destructive behavior and failing to teach his son emotional control.
