Nigerian singer Terry G has opened up about the long-term impact of parenting styles on Nigerian children, stressing how poor upbringing can affect individuals well into adulthood.
In a candid post on X, the singer argued that negative words spoken by parents often harm children’s self-esteem and shape how they see themselves later in life.
According to him, when people express self-doubt or claim they cannot achieve certain things, they are often repeating patterns formed from what they constantly heard growing up.
Terry G’s comments have sparked conversations online, with many Nigerians sharing personal experiences of how childhood influences continue to shape their lives today.
