Nigerian comedian Bovi has sparked a heated discussion on social media with his recent comments on parenting and disciplining children.
In a recent interview on the Honest Bunch podcast, Bovi shared his unorthodox approach to parenting, stating, “I don’t believe in beating children; they should be allowed to express themselves. My son, when he’s upset, breaks the television just for fun. He’d throw things at it and break it, but eventually, he reached an age where he began to feel remorse.”
Bovi also shared a story of how his son had broken three different televisions at home during moments of anger on separate occasions.

“The video I posted online that he broke a TV was actually the third one, not the first. I didn’t buy a cheaper one the second time but thank God for capacity. If I couldn’t afford a second TV then my approach would have been totally different. That’s why I feel, most times when we hit kids, check: Are you really trying to correct them or are you frustrated?” he added.
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.
“Bovi – ‘Let children be. The Bible – ‘spare the rod and spoil the child”
“Bad parenting that’s why kids these days are so rude and not well trained 😌”
“I hope his violent nature ends at your doorstep. Make e Shaa no carry am near another person pikin cos we won’t let him be.”
“Bovi 😂😂😂If you don’t understand sarcasm,you would be angry 😂😂”
“Oga continue let ur own children be don’t tell others to let children be,they no born u well to damage tv for our house say u dey vex”
