All of you castigating Peter should take a chill pill. He only quoted Kenya's president "Kenyatta Uhuru" and he is absolutely right. I dont know why peter cropped out the original quote. Thats plagiarism. What he is saying is you should combine your salary job with a business by the side to be on a safer side.

I lost my dad over 20years ago when l was just 12yrs and he left us with a thriving business. If he was a salary earner , life would have been very difficult for eight of us. My eldest brother expanded the business and we never lacked anything. Infact my brother bought cars for all of us once we clocked 25years. I went to the best private university in Nigeria who made entrepreneurship as a compulsory course for all. Today l operate my own business and married with two kids.

My friend also lost his dad who was on salary at 19years and things went from sweet to sour for them. They had to quit the company house and later sold their dads two cars to pay up bills and school fees. Later they started fighting on selling their dads only land.

See your salary alone can never make you rich unless you steal from your employer. Salary will only pay your bills so you have to start and grow a business. All the companies you are dreaming of working with were started by people like you and me.
MTN
Glo
Etisalat
Airtel
GTBank
Zenith bank
Access bank
Jumia
Konga
Olx
Jiji
Channels TV
Silverbird group
Forte oil
Heyden oil
Zenon oil
Dangote group
Nairabet
Emirates airline etc

And even "nairaland" owned by the young Seun osewa. Seun's dad owns the popular "ambassadors schools" at sango ota. His dad is a multi millionaire who l know would have taught seun the importance of owning a business. So peter is right, after work don't go and watch television. Think of a business to start.
You will excel and succeed in Jesus name...

He is right, and has a point.

And one thing I realised on getting to Kano is that, most Hausa men are either into businesses or farming. They make sure they train their kids on this business. That's why most rich Hausa boys are products of inherited businesses just like the Dantatas and Isiaka Rabiu(Bua) family, talk more of the Lebanese.

Do you know why every Lebanese you meet is rich? Ask them, they all inherited wealth. Don't ask me how I got to know, my cousin is a Lebanese, niggur living large on inherited businesses and running it smoothly on his 20s. Likewise every other one I meet.

But Southerners? The dead of the founder is always the dead of the empire and business. Chidlren go d fight for money.

It must not be a big time business as those you mentioned but something engaging is worth. Of course not everybody will succeed in that.

I think Peter is wrong, it is not the Business Ventures you left behind that makes your child Human, it is the Treasure you left inside of them that defines who they represents after the demise of the Parents.

The businesses left behind can crumble, but the Principles of Success instilled in the Children can't be tampered with.

It is the morals, the knowledge and their level of understanding of life that determines whether they succeed or fail.

Bill Gates will be donating his wealth to Charity.
People like u always giving half information, u think it's all his wealth he will be giving to charity?

Truth to an extent. But you must also imbibe in them the ethics/skills/hard work to keep the business running or else we'll have another case of diamond bank.

The guy is an idiot, So All these doctors, Nurses, train drivers, bus drivers and ETCs don't love their children?


what an idiot, The people who work in banks, post offices? Immigrations,.passport offices so they don't like their kids? The nusres who helped deliver his children they don't love their children?
the pilot who flies the plane he boards or the flight attendants who serves him on board and airplane does he thinks he is better than them? or the teachers who teaches his dumb children. the TV news reades/journalists they don't love their children, or firefighters?

Peter okoye is an ignorant illiterate who thinks because he Managed to make few millions making mediocre music in a country Full with poor, illiterates like him he thinks he is intelligent. Only Peter okoye loves his children because he will leave them few million Nairas. grin

So in his dumb empty head he thinks everything is about money/wealth, some people who have jobs does their jobs because they Actually likes their jobs, for different reasons And perhaps because it is less stress, they couldn't cope with the stress of Running a business?
Having a job doesn't stop u from owning a business. It's better to have multiple source if income than just from a job.

But the discussion is not about leaving home at 21, it is about your parents creating a generational thing
If they can't nko? So you should remain incapacitated because they couldn't give you what 'other' parents give their children.
Quotes like that only bring depression and frustration amongst parents/guardians. That my parents didn't leave a business for me doesn't mean all is lost, what they can't, I will. I didn't inherit any business from them but I'm doing really fine and I take care of them and my siblings
Everybody's not going to own a business. That's a fact.
These people should calm down abeg.

Not true .........most Lebanese are very poor. That's why they are easily recruited to fight for terrorists. Agreed there is a lot of family businesses. Rich men don't take up arms . They sponsor the poor to fight there dirty wars and reap the benefits .]

He has a point but my question is, if everybody is doing the business, who will now do the job?

That's why, in order to have balance in a society, the poor has to be there, and the rich also; the business owner and the employee.
Choose to be the owner. Not the employee

when they mention business, they just call Dangote, Adenuga, Otedola. There are 10s of millions of businessmen and women in nigeria, who cant even afford 3 square meals.
I'm an igbo man, but abhor business to the extreme. Working for govt and being paid well.
To ensure financial stability after retirement, i invest in Nigeria Treasury Bill (NTB). I have a colleague that retired about 5 years ago. The man has no worries now. He has about N30 Million or more in NTB. Earns interest of about N5 Million annually, added with his gratuity and pension. And all his children have graduated. What more can a man ask for? He's currently on holidays in Brazil.
