You shield them from relationships, then demand marriage? be real – Bovi to parents

Nigerian comedian Bovi Ugboma criticized conservative parenting norms in Nigeria, arguing that discouraging dating contributes to unstable marriages.

Speaking on the Nedu Wazobia Podcast, he pointed out the contradiction of parents forbidding interactions with the opposite sex, then later expecting marriage plans.

Bovi recounted how secrecy and fear defined young relationships, fostering a lack of transparency.

He argued that overprotection deprives youth of developing emotional maturity and relationship skills.

Instead, he advocated for a balanced approach where parents allow their children to date responsibly, promoting honesty and respect.

Bovi believes this foundation is key to building stronger, healthier marriages.
