Nigerian businessman and socialite, Obinna “Obi” Iyiegbu, better known as Obi Cubana, has shared poignant observations on wealth accumulation and its generational implications.

Advising against mere acquisition of wealth without creating time to enjoy it, the philanthropist and doting dad of four highlighted how wealth often dissipates posthumously. He added that the wealth sometimes gets squandered after the person is dead.

The billionaire CEO noted a societal shift where descendants of the once affluent now work for those whose families were historically less privileged, reflecting on the cyclical nature of prosperity.

His remarks stirred diverse reactions, with some agreeing on the importance of responsible wealth management, while others critiqued the broader socioeconomic context of inherited wealth and its sustainability across generations.

In his words:

“Read with an open mind…. 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!🫡”
