Nigerian comedian and actor Bovi Ugboma has responded to criticism over his recent comments about his son breaking three TVs. Bovi had stated that his son broke the TVs “just for the fun of it” when he was upset.
However, many social media users slammed Bovi for his parenting approach, with some calling him a “failed parent.” In response, Bovi took to social media to clarify his comments and reveal that his son had struggled with a speech impediment and communication problems.
Bovi explained that his son’s behavior was not just about having fun, but also about struggling to express himself. He wrote, “My child had a speech impediment and communication problem that’s only just starting to improve.”
The comedian also emphasized that he does not advocate for beating children as a form of correction. Instead, he believes in letting children be and finding alternative ways to discipline them.
Bovi’s clarification has sparked a new wave of discussion on social media, with some users apologizing for jumping to conclusions and others continuing to debate the best approaches to parenting.
