Veteran Nigerian singer, Gabriel Oche Amanyi, popularly known as Terry G, has urged Africans to always revere their legends.

‎
‎The 'Run Mad' crooner made this known against the backdrop of the recent conversations on social media, regarding how he and some of his colleagues are no longer in the limelight.

‎
‎Addressing the conversation on his X handle, Terry G noted how he has been seeing people say that "Your time don pass", and it sounds "like brain damage" to him.

‎
‎He cited how the West greatly reveres their legends, and do not describe them as "outdated." He urged Africans, particularly Nigerians to embrace respect of their legends even if they are no longer in the limelight.

‎
‎He wrote:
‎“I hear people say, ‘Your time don pass!’—and it sounds like brain damage.

‎
‎“In the West, legends are respected for life. No one calls Jay-Z or Beyoncé outdated. Their impact is honoured.

‎
‎
‎“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. 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.”
