Afrobeats star Terry G has shared his thoughts on the struggles many Nigerians face in life, linking it to poor parental upbringing.
In a post on X, the singer said negative words spoken by parents while raising their children often damage self-esteem and continue to affect them long into adulthood.
According to him, when people express self-doubt or say they can’t achieve certain things, most times they are simply echoing what they repeatedly heard from their parents while growing up.
Terry G wrote:
“Our Nigerian parents really do many of us strong things. The point I’m making is this: when you come under my post saying you’ll never make it, that’s not really you speaking, it’s the voice of what you grew up hearing at home. When you say, ‘you can’t do this, you can’t do that,’ you’re only repeating what your father and mother told you growing up.
