Nigerian comedian Bovi has stirred a heated debate on social media following his remarks about parenting and disciplining children.
During a recent interview on the Honest Bunch podcast, Bovi shared his unconventional parenting approach, saying, "I don't advocate for beating children; you should let children be. My son breaks the television just for the fun of it when he's upset. He'd throw stuff at it and break it but it got the age that he got to where he started to feel remorse."
The actor also recounted how his son broke three different televisions at home in the heat of anger on different occasions.
The comedian’s remarks immediately sparked a wave of reactions on social media, with many users expressing disapproval of his stance. Some questioned his parenting style, while others criticised his leniency.
