Renowned music video director, Clarence Peters, has opened up about his father, legendary juju musician Shina Peters, acknowledging his past mistakes and their impact on his family.
Speaking on the WithChude podcast hosted by media personality Chude Jideonwo, Clarence, the son of veteran actress, Clarion Chukwura, shared his perspective on his father’s shortcomings and how they have shaped his own approach to relationships.
“My dad screwed up. Using the word ‘screwed up’ is me putting it lightly because his colleagues blackballed my mum, and she was already dealing with a lot of trauma from when she was young,” Clarence revealed.
The filmmaker also reflected on his mother’s struggles, stating that while she endured difficult times, she later realized the impermanence of material wealth.

“My mum told me recently that he [Shina Peters] has been with women, driven some amazing cars, stayed in the best houses and hotels, and had money. But he is approaching his 70s now, and all he can do is pray to God for forgiveness,” he said.
Clarence admitted that while he has learned from his father’s missteps, he also recognizes that he has made some of his own.
“As much as I was raised by my mother, one of my greatest fears was not to be like my father to the opposite sex. I have been a version of that, so I am not a saint. So, I cannot judge him,” he confessed.
