Billionaire businessman Obi Iyiegbu popularly known as Obi Cubana, has shared a thought-provoking message on Instagram about wealth accumulation and enjoyment.
According to Cubana, the children of poor men are acquiring the properties of rich men, while the rich often fail to enjoy their wealth during their lifetime.
Cubana noted that the children of rich men are sometimes forced to serve the children of poor men who have become successful.
He advised people to strike a balance between acquiring wealth and enjoying it, quoting a Nigerian proverb that highlights the importance of enjoying one’s hard-earned wealth.
He concluded by emphasising the importance of using one’s wealth for the greater good and not letting it become a source of pain and oppression.
“Today the children of yesterdays rich are serving the children of yesterdays poor…..
“The poor men’s children of yesterdays are busy buying out the properties of rich men of yesterdays, from the children they acquired and left those properties for! It’s the cycle of life!!!
“Funny enough, most of the rich NEVER enjoyed the luxury of the wealth they were busy acquiring while alive!
“Our people have a saying ‘ọlu ụnọ na-amuta ole ụnọ’ Translated ‘the builder/acquiring man gives birth to a seller-son…..’
“Last line: While you toil and work very hard to acquire, make out time to enjoy the proceeds of your hard work!
“Most importantly, may your acquired wealth be beneficial to mankind, and not a source of pain and oppression
“Time is ticking, and nothing lasts forever……SELAH!”
