Popular Nigerian music video director Clarence Peters has revealed why he was able to move on and forgive his father, veteran musician Shina Peters.
This is because, before having a conversation with him, he realised that he had made every single mistake his father had made.
Speaking in a recent episode of the Afropolitan podcast, Peters disclosed that he truly became an adult after realising and forgiving his dad in 2014/2015.
The 41-year-old explained that the reason his own mistakes weren’t as catastrophic as his father’s was due to time and technology.
He said, “I made every single mistake my father made. I’m just lucky that time and tech saved me from it being as catastrophic as his own. So, the moment I realised that, I forgave him instantly, even before we had a conversation.

That would be 2014/15. That was when I became an adult. That was when I began my journey into adulthood. I’m still on the journey. You’re always on the journey.”
Clarence Peters is the son of legendary musician Shina Peters and veteran Nollywood actress Clarion Chukwura.
Peters once opened up in an interview that his mother wanted to abort him while he was in her womb but changed her mind because of her belief that he was the reincarnation of her father, whom she lost when she was 11 years old.
