"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."
