Terry G Says Poor Parenting Keeps Many Nigerians Stuck in Failure
Afrobeats singer Gabriel Oche Amanyi, popularly known as Terry G, has shared his thoughts on why many Nigerians continue to struggle with failure. The music star explained that poor parental upbringing plays a huge role in shaping how young people grow and eventually live their lives.
According to him, many Nigerian parents unknowingly harm their children by constantly speaking negatively to them. He noted that when parents repeatedly tell children that they cannot achieve certain things, those words sink deep and create long-lasting self-doubt. Terry G believes this habit has left many adults with low self-esteem and a lack of confidence to succeed.
The Akpako Master said negative declarations from parents are often carried into adulthood. He explained that many Nigerians who say discouraging things to others online are actually repeating the same words they once heard from their parents at home. For him, this cycle of negativity is one of the main reasons people remain stuck in failure.
In a post shared on his official X handle, Terry G wrote that many Nigerians are unknowingly living under the shadow of their parents’ harsh words. He argued that when someone comments online saying, “You will never make it,” it is not their true voice but rather the reflection of the painful upbringing they experienced.
Terry G urged Nigerians to break away from this toxic cycle and embrace a new mindset. He emphasized that change begins with choosing to think positively, encouraging oneself, and believing in personal growth. According to him, young Nigerians should stop carrying the negative energy of their childhood into their adult lives.
He also pointed out that parents need to understand the lasting impact of their words. Positive affirmations, encouragement, and support can go a long way in shaping a child’s future. On the other hand, harsh criticisms and negative declarations can destroy a child’s confidence and limit their ability to succeed.
The singer concluded by calling on Nigerians to be more mindful of what they say to themselves and others. For him, breaking free from generational cycles of negativity is the only way to create a future filled with confidence, growth, and success.
