Nigerian comedian and actor Bovi Ugbomma has disclosed that his son tends to break the television when he is upset, despite his advocacy for gentle parenting.
He made this revelation during an interview on the Honest Bunch Podcast with Nedu.
Bovi expressed his disapproval of physical punishment, citing his own parenting methods as a reference. He noted that his son eventually reached a point where he began to feel remorse and ceased breaking objects.
He encouraged parents to allow their children to learn from their mistakes without resorting to corporal punishment.
He said, “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.”
This perspective, however, has drawn criticism from many Nigerians, who have accused the actor of promoting violence and failing to instill emotional control in his son.
