A Good Pedigree Is Better Than Riches by Seunfabs(f): 10:50am On Aug 25, 2021
A man who pretends to be blind and beg for alms, so, one day he slept and dreamt he had no eyes but he was ' in the money' ,so, he thought God wanted him to use his eyes for money ritual, so that he will be wealthy. He thought his children and grandchildren will manage his wealth and take care of him.

When he woke up, he narrated his dream to his wife and family. They went to an herbalist, the herbalist being a good man refer them to a wise man,the wise man asked him some questions,he said he should meditate on it for a week.

The questions were;

" If you have money,can your money linger to 5 generations without it been mismanaged?

he asked him; how sure is he that his yet to come generations that doesn't work for the money will know the Value?

He also said,

what if you gather money and start a business,who knows,the business might flourishes and make you wealthy,
Then,
In return, the Business gives your family a good pedigree that you can give to your generations and then it will forever be said;

'In our Family, we worked for our wealth.
