Afrobeats singer, Gabriel Oche Amanyi, popularly known as Terry G, has spoken about the impact of poor parental upbringing on the lives of many Nigerians.
He claimed that poor parental upbringing contributes to why many are stuck in failure.
He noted that negative declarations of parents to their children often led to the children developing low self-esteem even into adulthood.
The Akpako Master advised Nigerians to break the cycle and embrace a positive mindset.
On his X handle, Terry G wrote, “Our Nigerian parents really do many of us strong thing. 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 u growing up.
“Now you see you’ve carried that same energy into adulthood, and that’s why many are stuck in failure.
It’s time to break that cycle.
It’s time to change that mindset.”
