Nigerian comedian and actor, Bovi Ugbomma, has made a u-turn, as he tenders apology for his comments on gentle parenting.
The actor and comedian had earlier advocated for parents to adopt the gentle parenting approach in training their children.
While speaking at the Honest Bunch Podcast, Bovi had stated that he does not beat his children.
He had also disclosed that his son breaks their televisions whenever he is angry and he does not beat him for it, but lets him be.
This however, did not sit well with Netizens as many accused him of raising a violent child and someone who cannot control his emotions.
In a later tweet on X, formerly Twitter, on Tuesday, Bovi apologized for his comments.
He encouraged people to train their children however way they feel like, but maintained that his father did not beat him physically and he is not going to do same to his children.
He wrote, “I don go trigger angry people because of the phrase I used . “For the fun of it”. Make una no vex. In trying to color my point, I’ve offended a shallow mob. You don’t have to agree with me. If you have children you want to beat, enjoy. My papa no physically beat me and I turned out almost ok.”
