He further stated that the experience gave him a different perspective on life, adding that currently, he is focusing more on long-term goals.

Terence’s childhood
Celebrating his late grandmother’s birthday, Terence showered her with praise for raising him after the death of his parents without giving up or making him feel worthless.
“Although I am an orphan, I really appreciate what my parents do, and more so my grandma, who never gave up on me or made me feel shy about myself; btw, today is her birthday; she would be 83. Continue resting in power queen: ‘Sekeret’,” Terence disclosed.
At the age of 22, the funny man wrote his first book dubbed ‘Hope Abounds’.
