“I hear people say, ‘Your time don pass!’—and it sounds like brain damage,” he wrote.
Terry G pointed out the difference in how legends are treated in the West versus Africa. According to him, Western icons are celebrated regardless of age, while African pioneers are often disregarded.
“In the West, legends are respected for life. No one calls Jay Z or Beyoncé outdated. Their impact is honoured,” he said.
“But here in Africa, especially Nigeria, we’re quick to discard our own. That’s why we believe our ancestors were evil, while Western ancestors are seen as gods. It’s time to break free from that mindset.”
He concluded with a reminder on the importance of self-growth and relevance: “If you don’t keep adding value to yourself and those around you, your worth will fade—no matter how great you once were. We must do better.”
