Nigerian comedian Bovi Ugboma has opened up about his experience as a father, revealing that his son broke three television sets on different occasions due to his behaviour.
Bovi Ugboma said he does not believe in beating children as a form of discipline, stressing the importance of allowing kids to grow while providing proper guidance.
The comedian revealed that his son had broken several items at home over the years, sometimes out of anger and at other times simply for fun. He disclosed that his son had damaged at least three television sets.
According to Bovi, he was able to replace the damaged televisions because he could afford to do so, noting that the situation could have been different if he lacked the financial means.
He said:
“I don’t advocate for beating children. You should let children be. My son dey break television for the fun of it. If he’s angry, he will throw stuff and break.
“He got to the age where he got to, and I saw the remorse. At least he broke three TVs. Thank God for capacity. If I couldn’t afford another TV, then the approach would have been totally different.
“That’s why I tell people, most times when we hit kids, check: are you really trying to correct them, or you’re frustrated?”
