I'll give to the charity but will most definitely leave the chunk of it for my children. I didn't come this far to have them go through the process of starting afresh again. O wrong nau! Very wrong!!

Imagine a child who's accustomed to a lifestyle now having to start from the bottom because they were unable to maintain such all because "parent" wanted to be hero/heroine??.??! That's depression!! WTF?!!!

Why are you giving to charity in the first place? Isn't it because someone is financially unfit or needs the support at least?

Why put your children in such a precarious situation??. I can never understand it!

Any parent who does that is only but selfish— such an inconsiderate parent!
it seem your definition of success is me and my family alone! This mentality is the reason why African countries will keep having dysfunctional society!
Society is more important than a single family who just want to oppress their neighbours with wealth!

I know I can never do this. Never. I will still hold like 1 billion dollars, not part with every cent.


For that reason I am in awe of this man.

Dumb Ass.. Do you still consider him a rich man?

With your poor manner of approach, I am not sure the combination of three generations before you and three generations after you in your family altogether can make $2 million, therefore, his poverty is relative to who we are comparing him with. Ode

They are just organized, not like they will pay your Bill's for you.

When everyone is comfortable, being nice and polite comes with the territory.

As for me I can do charity but not give every cent I own out. No way.

We never know. He could have left something to the children, if any. The father's legacy has made a way for them. It's up to them to make something of it. I'm not saying that just because one had it hard the children have to but the cause he gave to could create more helpers to the society. The world is bigger than family alone.

I'm just hoping he willed enough to them too. I really would not like them to turn out to be another Nike cofounder's case...

THIS MAN HAS EVENTUALLY BECOME RICHER THAN HE CAN IMAGINE.

HE IS NOW RICH ON EARTH, IN PEOPLE'S HEARTS AND MOST IMPORTANTLY: RICH IN HEAVEN.

Easy boss.
Don't be too hard on yourself.

The act of philanthropy is inspired by Christianity, then followed by other religions. You should know that when people approaches the end of their life, they think about their creator and make plans to meet Him in favour.

That man is the happiest man a life now.
Its a hidden wisdom. Babes won't understand.
