“Insecurity is what everyone deals with but when insecurity incapacitates you, then it calls for concern. It becomes a problem when it begins to affect you negatively. There is the insecurity for men and for women.
The insecurity for men begin from the tender age when they begin to think of these basic questions, am I a man? Do i have what it takes? So he goes into life having the self confident. In a relationship, he will want to be domineering to prove he is a man. Men insecurities has to do with performance, position & power.”

To correct this insecurity in men, he said;

“Fathers need to come in and teach their sons how to be a man. This builds their self esteem. Fathers have to intervene in the relationship between mothers and their sons especially at the age of 12-13 and begin to initiate him. Take him out, make him hang around with men, take him to the salon with you and make him do what men do.”

He emphasised that women most times face the insecurity of whether they are being loved.

“At the age of 12-13 she begin to ask questions like, am i loved? Am I admired? Am I beautiful? And then she will want her daddy’s comment on her dress, so Fathers should tell their daughters they are beautiful, then she will know she is beautiful and loved.”
