Nigerian stand-up comedian Bovi Ugboma has said he’s not in support of beating children as a way of correction.
Featuring in a recent episode of ‘The Honest Bunch’ podcast, Bovi emphasised that children don’t deserve to be beaten regardless of their offence.
“I don’t advocate for beating children. You should let children be. When you hit a kid, are you really trying to correct them or are you frustrated?” he said.
The comedian also criticised the practice of senior students punishing junior colleagues in primary and secondary schools.
“No child should be given authority over another child in the name of ‘senior student’. It really has to stop,” he declared.
