Bovi is not the only parent that doesn't flog their kids as a form of discipline, so that's hardly the koko. The main the main was him creating the impression that he okay's destruction of property because he's a big man that can afford these things and it is evidenced by the fact that his kid has not only broken TV once in anger, but has done so on two other occasions.

A kid breaking TV as an outlet for anger is not normal, even in homes where the parents have 1000 times Bovi's wealth.

Where did you see Bovi saying it was okay to destroy things because he was a rich man. You have not even watched the full discussion yet you are jumping into conclusion. He said parents sometimes beat children not with the intention to correct but out of frustration like a middle class family will take a different approach to a child breaking a television that cost 4 months salary than a wealthy parents would and that's the fact. The child tv stuff starts from 1hr 15mins. He was asked a question on how to deal with destructive children and he gave an example with his child who was once destructive but has overgrown that behavior has he got more matured. Just watch the video.

jpmoriarti:
Yeah right 🤣🤣

When the rightful winner gets the price then it's credible.

DeadPresidents:
In my opinion, vandalism deserves an overreaction because the kid is straying into dangerous territory. Not every item can be replaced or even compensated at all. I never advocated flogging either. Never let, "I can just replace it" be a reason to justify bad behaviour.

"What gets rewarded, gets done"

By the way, i consider flogging to be a nuclear option and not to even be considered as a punitive measure until all other methods are exhaustively explored

I understand you but Bovi didn't justify his behavior. He said he reprimanded the child but didn't go overboard by flogging like most parents would do in such situation.

People here are now acting like when you beat a kid for doing a particular stuff he will ultimately stop when in reality children are stubborn and rebellious in nature. You could beat a kid for doing something today and the little baga would repeat it the next day. Even people that were stubborn in their teenage days are trying to gaslight us into believing they always considered the punishment before engaging in the act.

DeadPresidents:
My own na say, Pikin need to learn say every action get equal and opposite reaction.

If Bovi pikin break TV outside, them fit Cole Palm am before Bovi dey on ground to handle the situation.

As a kid, no matter how angry I get, them no born me to break TV because I understand the opposite reaction is no cartoons/movies/gaming/football for months (If i don’t lose access forever)

Every human considers action and effect that’s why you won’t pick up quarrel with the local street boxer. That’s the same reason kids learn to avoid stealing bitter leaf…it’s not worth it

Bovi’s kids understand there’s no effect to breaking TVs and fundamentals of human and animal behaviour is defined succinctly: "What gets rewarded, gets done"

You all needs to stop overreacting and go watch the full clip. You are acting like Bovi was clapping for the child when he broke the television. He said he disciplined them but he didn't flog them mercilessly like most parents would do due to his capacity of replacing the television. For example you can't compare the way you would react to your son bashing your car to the way Otedola or any of those big man or celebrities would react.

The official and authentic Best player in the world. Congratulations to Vini

Obafemi just dey cap. Bro said he was faster than Walker, Mbappe, Sane, Bale etc

If you kids don’t know about Obafemi, get to know pic.twitter.com/CjIXNgOVSV

Realtord43:
So because you can afford another one, you let your kids destroyed your TV because the are angry?

What will they destroy when the are adults. He should have let his kid destroyed his car too

He told you when the child came of age he realized his mistakes and stopped doing that. Did you even watch the video you posted here? Bovi is simply telling you he's not going to beat his child over material things he can afford. You don't have to agree with him.

raumdeuter:
That still doesnt make sense even if you have the money.

What if the kid goes to a friends house and starts breaking their TV, or goes to shoprite and starts breaking their TV just because you dont want to correct him. Breaking TV can even put the child in danger

You dont have to flog the child but you can verbally scold and let the child know he is wrong
Actions in life have consequences and there is a reason they are children and we are adults so we can correct and set them straight

What else, he will say if the child attempt to open the car door on motion or drink boiling water he wont stop him?

Sometime all these wokeness we will just overdo everything sef

In the full podcast he mentions flogging and disciplining his children. One stroke and then warning of ten if they repeat it.

[quote author=Realtord43 post=133337653]Watching your kids destroyed thing's is a real "Woke Parenting"

"If my son is angry, he throws things at the TV, he has broken 3 TVs.
I don't advocate for beating children, let them be"

you not see the part he said ""thank God for capacity, if I couldn't afford another one the approach would have been different"

Bro is basically saying na poor parents dey beat kids

Ibime:
Nah, I'm not fvcking with that Black Doves

If a Series can't impress me in the first 20 mins of Episode 1, it's going in the bin

Na the same issue I dey get with Mayor of Kingstown.

They are series that takes one full season to get going. Go and watch citadel, Action from starting to end.

First time I dey see trans man.

We went from Marcelo to this.

Gareth Bale, debut season with Real Madrid:

• 44 games
• 22 goals
• 19 assists
• UEFA Champions League winner
• Copa Del Rey winner
• UEFA Champions League Final goal
• Copa Del Rey winning goal

Underated maestro

andrewbaba44:
Winning the Ucl is in Real Madrid dna and they have been winning it for long even before most of you here where born

Put unai Emery there and they will still win the ucl

If you think Ancelotti is better than pep then you are a big fool

Since ancelotti joined Madrid how many big games have you dominated from start to finish ?

Individual brilliance from the likes of benzema and vini have been winning Ancelotti trophies

Ronaldo and co did it for zidane also

End .

Why has individual brilliance not gifted Barca numerous champions league titles over the last 9 years since it's that easy. After all you had Suarez who according to you is greater than benzema plus a certain dwarf who you claim is the goat. All those individuals yet you failed constantly in the Ucl.

Ibime:
They actually confirmed Sowores story to the letter

Both Sowore and NNPC are saying the exact same thing (they are producing Naphta in the old refinery of 60,000 barrells per day at reduced capacity and blending), the difference is in the colour of their commentary.

Is the fuel up to standard and will it reduce the price?

GloriousGbola:
obligatory

You and this word lmao

Sportsweb:
😂😂😂 You dey mind them... Elon Musk probably had same mentality until em son turn to woman and the thing pained him

But that Elon Musk pikin brave o. Change surname and disown billionaire papa. That guy just lost out on millions of dollar from inheritance. That shi..it takes courage and boldness.

BlueRayDick:
Easier said than done. Keep thinking it's all cool and nice till ur pikin end up like this former sound city presenter.

Even if your pikin ends up like that is there anything the parents can realistically do to change them? It's either you disown or accept them like that.

seankafor:
not only do they dress 👗🥻 to provoke, they also forces us to accept them even when it's crystal 🔮 clear they irritate..

How does man who genitally mutilates himself and looks like a deranged daredevil then go on and force me to accept them..

Do you know all these woke bullshits, they have birthed more and more subset of their bullshits too, for example.. some groups are also pushing for pedophilia to also be accepted as norm too, very soon 🔜, we will also be told to accept them and not hurt their feelings...

I don't have problems with gays , but you see those trans people.. they re just as irritating as they come.. and should be condemned and make them seek help

This is how it starts. You have already accepted one nonsense, give it 5 to ten years and you will accept the other nonsense.

Comments from a nairaland thread after obj left office in 2007.

Iyantan:
To me i think his regime was a faliure .
The roads are bad.
PHCN is worse
Holding of election is not good at all i won"t leave here today if i keep on talking about what was bad about OBJ"s regime

dayokanu:
OBJ's regime to me was terrible thank God we were able to survive it.

ishmael:
more or else like Abacha's regime. people were killed anyhow.

babasin:
a sad waste of time. This is worst you can get.

1. Over 20, 000 Nigeria died of avoidable death

2. Naira lost 20% value

3. Petrol increase by 80%

4 Road was more in terrible state.

5. Refinery went to 20% capacity

6. Power generation went down to 2500MG for a nation of 120million

7. Manufacturing went down to 32% capacity

8. More Nigerians lefts than came back to settle down.

denex:
I personally believe Obasanjo's administration was an absolute success.

We finally have a single exchange rate in Nigeria.

Wages increased by 1,000% what it originally was.

The age-long Bakassi crisis was finally solved without firing a single shot.

The volume of our Stock Exchange grew at about the fastest rate in the world.

Our telecommunications grew by about 6000%.

Wiped away our ever-present National debt from a $30 billion debt to virtually nothing.

Standardized the banking industry to what it is today, banks capital base has increased by 400%.

Ended the war in Liberia and brought the country back to democracy.

Ended the war in Sierra Leone and the country is now back to democracy.

Reversed a Military Coup d'etat in Sao Tome and Principe.

Took Nigeria outer space.

Instituted a solid fight against corruption which is still actively in place.

Our entertainment industry performed and grew exponentially under the Obasanjo administration.

Same administration caused a rise of per capita income from about $300 to $1,500 (400%).

Standardized the Insurance industry.

Built us a Foreign Reserve from nothing to $40 billion (40000000000%)


Federation account which now stands between $9 billion and $12 billion (900000000%).


I could go on forever, but let me allow others contribute.


The last Administration performed Splendidly and I hope this new administration will reach and even possibly surpass the kind of growth and development that the Obasanjo administration achieved.


If Yar'Adua's administration can create and environment where wages will increase by 1000%, foreign reserves by 40000000000%, Federation Account by 9000000000%, Telecommunications by 6000%, per capita income by 400% and Commercial Banks capital base successfully by another 400%, then Nigeria is heaven.

chidichris:
please let us not talk about obj and pray that yar adua will not be like him

Kolo Muani Ogun will judge you for Enternity.

Theflint1:
Another angle. While I'd generally advice begging, there's just no method to their madness, and I think people normalizing their brutality , the way we're inclined to do continues to embolden them to move mad.

This is even the most annoying part. Telling people to be cowards and accept maltreatment and assault because of fear.

YoungB1a:
Warri people behaviour

Area can never carry last.

Theflint1:
This is generally good and reasonable advice, especially in Nigeria, but the point is even this guarantees nothing, most people beg when they face these demons in uniform, but that hardly saves them.

When you beg them that even annoys them more. All those "sorry sir" "sorry sir" even gets them more mad. They see you as a weak fool they can do anything to. I have seen situations where solders and police think they are mad until they met civilians that are equally mad and they behave themselves.

Cowards will always make up excuses.

semid4lyfe:
Chidinma!!

South Africans right now having heart seizures and epileptic fits.

So this Chidimma really used Nigerians foolishness to upgrade herself. Somebody that was claiming to be South African and hasn't been to Nigeria in 20years suddenly remembered Nigeria exists immediately she had issues in Southy. Its the other actual Nigerian girls that lost out on this opportunity because of a rejected South African I pity for.

Lmao

Trent and Davies for free next season will be lite. Then we get two 2 centerbacks as well. Saliba and Tah won't be bad.

jpmoriarti:
Football is a moments sport. You feel the euphoric excitement just for a few days and you're onto something else.

Don't allow yourself not to enjoy the moment because of some stupid stat. Enjoy as much as you can because it'll only last for max 3 days. People that won UCL last year, it doesn't feel the same anymore .

How would you know what winning the champions league feels like? Last time you won was almost a decade ago.

Derumklala12:
So lewandowski isn't that class.
He's just on form?
Be like you nak head after that beating for Santiago bernabush

Why is comprehension that hard for you guys to digest. Lewandowski is 36 and almost finished. You guys are going to get rid of him at the end of this season or next. His current form is definitely temporary.

jpmoriarti:
Never.

Tomorrow, I'll come back to this.

And tomorrow you will meet me here. Good night
