Afrobeats singer Gabriel Oche Amanyi, better known as Terry G, has spoken about how negative experiences from childhood can affect people even as adults.

The “Akpako Master” explained that when parents constantly tell children they can’t do things or won’t succeed, those messages can stick and lead to low confidence later in life.

He encouraged people to break free from these patterns and focus on developing a positive mindset.

Taking to his X account page on Tuesday, 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.”
