Comedian Bovi claims its wrong to allow senior students to discipline junior students
Popular Nigerian comedian Bovi has spoken up about the supposed discipline senior students give to junior students in secondary schools today. He is of the opinion that the senior secondary school students being able to punish juniors shouldn't be allowed. He revealed that the system in Nigeria is flawed presently.
His full name is Bovi Ugboma and he is a Nigerian actor, and a stand-up comedian. He is 44 years old and is married to Kris Asimonye Ugboma who is 42 years. The couple tied the knot in 2007 and they have 3 children together.
Bovi, while speaking at a conference, the excellence in leadership conference revealed that young people In secondary school don't know anything about discipline and should not be allowed to discipline others. He revealed that the oldest on an average is 16 years old and such a person is still too young to be punishing another child.
He shared that teachers shouldn’t give students the authority to discipline fellow students. He claims this can lead to bullying in secondary school. He believes the seniors are meant to guide not discipline.
In his words "Empowering students to discipline students is insane, we are crazy in this country and you have no idea, there is nothing normal about it. I can't imagine that my own child that I gave birth to, would go to school and then I would be told that another student punished him either by flogging him or asking him to kneel down. The oldest child is an average of 16 years, what do they know about discipline, there's nothing right about it. The senior students are meant to guide the junior ones, not that teachers would sit back and tell the senior students that they can punish their juniors. In my secondary school years I was abused and dumbfounded at how someone one year ahead of me could tell me to kneel down,"
