Nigerian comedian Bovi Ugboma has publicly opposed the use of physical punishment in child-rearing, emphasizing that children should not be beaten under any circumstances. He views such actions as signs of frustration rather than effective correction.
In a recent episode of ‘The Honest Bunch’ podcast, Bovi discussed the importance of adopting gentle and constructive methods to guide children’s behavior. He also criticized the practice of allowing senior students to discipline their juniors, suggesting it can lead to abuse and unhealthy power dynamics.
