Stand-up comedian and actor Bovi Ugboma is currently facing criticism online following a recent performance in which he made jokes involving his daughter that many have deemed inappropriate.
During the show, Bovi—who is a father to three children, including a daughter—shared a comedic bit about naming his daughter’s teddy bears “Big Dick” and “Small Dick.” He stated that he asked her to play with both toys, a punchline that sparked significant outrage on social media.

@oby added: It’s because these people have not lived and worked abroad before. This is insensitive and very inappropriate. Try this joke abroad and see if police will not come calling to investigate you and that your daughter.
