Popular comedian and actor Bovi Ugbomma shared an intriguing parenting perspective during an interview with Nedu on the Honest Bunch Podcast.
The comedian revealed that his son, Chuchu, habitually broke televisions in anger but emphasized his commitment to gentle parenting, stating that he does not believe in physically disciplining children.
“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 highlighted the importance of allowing children to learn from their mistakes rather than punishing them which has caused an uproar among Nigerians.
However, this stance sparked backlash online, with many Citizens of Nigeria criticizing him for what they perceived as promoting a lack of discipline and emotional control in his son.
