If not for my grandparents that left things for us my father was just busy knacking woman

Today a friend chatted me up and was seeking for advice if it's okay to sell 2 plots of land from the 4 he inherited from his father..
I told him not to sell it cos he is barely 30 and still have a long way to go..

It occured to me that I actually inherited nothing 😂
Everything I have ,
I've worked so hard for it.
.I wondered would my life have been easier if I was left with anything?

Some parents are so greedy and selfish that they don't have plans for their children's future. I know a few parents that didn't believe maybe they would leave long and that the money being saved would not be spent finished. You hear them saying things like, "I CAN NEVER LOOK TO CHILDREN HANDS BEFORE I EAT". Now they are suffering because the children are still struggling financially. Had it been they have tried to make investments or sent their children abroad like other parents did then, things wouldn't have turned out negative for them.

Mine left me with Jesus, and oh, no better inheritance than that!

How does Jesus taste for breakfast, lunch and dinner?

When u inherit nothing u stand a better chance of holding on to anything u make, those who have it good usually loose their survival instinct and that's really bad

Dtruthspeaker:
This one no count. You can as well say that because they have fed and clothed you, then you have taken your inheritance.

Leaving inheritance is food but it doesn't mean every parents will leave for for the offsprings.

The poor will always be with us says the Nazarene, what then can the poor leave behind aside memories, love, compassion, kindness etc.

Man says the good book shall not live by bread alone but by the words of God.

Wetin this one dey talk

God is father of the fatherless and Jesus Christ is faithful

Education itself doesn’t make people successful though

I have university mates that graduated but still have no bearing.

Educating your child is an obligation not an inheritance

Can you tell me what education is?
Not certification, with a proper education a child have a better opportunity to greatness and is better than leaving a land for the child... The family members might even sell the land after the father might have gone.

I don't know how I am surviving the surviving. Las las na God promises na I dey inherit dey survive everyday.

I never expected to inherit a dime from anyone... So, I have always hustled hard.

No child of mine is also expecting to inherit from me, even though there will be plenty to leave behind.

I have taught them to find and make their own fortunes...!


Inheritance should never be a right or entitlement... It should be a privilege that you add to what you already made for yourself.

Everything is a Test really.

If you have inheritance, that is your test.

If I don't have any, that is my test.

For those who have inheritance, things can be easy for them in terms of comfort we all yearn for, and for those who never had any, it is the spur they needed to work for their own money.

I have friends who inherited millions in cash, houses and undeveloped lands then I have some who have to contribute to pay the father's debt and burial expenses. That is life.

It is not for me or us to start turning our heads and focus to those who had inheritance and those who never had any. I saw some posts already castigated the parents who never left anything for their kids in terms of material things insinuating that they were lazy etc.

Kobojunkie:
Look up the meaning of the term inheritance if you don't understand it well. 🥱🥱

You are not wi.se at all, the money that will be used to buy properties for a child is better to be used to sponsor a child through quality education.... Is it all parents that gives his or her wards quality education? Can that suck child manage the properties if he or she is a illiterate?

Most of them are currently the richest.

I knew I wasn’t going inherit nothing from my dad as a young boy growing up. Thank God I bought my dad a car before he passed 2 yrs ago

Jesus is more than enough inheritance 🙏🙏❤️

Our country, Nigeria, is full of hardworking people who inherited little or nothing from their parents. I'm one of them—no silver spoon, no head start.
Yes, life can feel deeply unfair in many ways, but compound interest levels the playing field for everyone willing to use it. It's one of the few forces in finance that treats everyone equally, regardless of background.
Many of us in groups like NIGERIAN STOCK EXCHANGE MARKET PICK ALERTS have seen this firsthand. By consistently investing in the market, reinvesting dividends, and staying patient through ups and downs, we've turned modest beginnings into serious growth. Some, including myself, are now on track to build multi-generational wealth—something our parents' generation often couldn't dream of without inheritance.
Inheritance can provide leverage, but if nothing was passed down to you (like me), there's still a clear, proven path forward:
Spend less than you earn — Live below your means and cut unnecessary expenses.
Avoid bad debt — Steer clear of high-interest consumer loans that eat into your future.
Save aggressively — Build an emergency fund first, then direct the rest to investments.
Invest consistently — Put what remains from your salary into quality assets, like Nigerian stocks via the NGX (Nigerian Exchange Group), mutual funds, or other compounding vehicles.
Give it time — Do this diligently for 10+ years, and let compound interest do the heavy lifting.
The NGX All-Share Index has shown impressive momentum lately (around 195,000 points recently, with strong yearly gains), rewarding those who stayed invested through volatility. Stocks like certain banks, consumer goods, or growth companies have delivered multiples for disciplined investors who reinvest dividends.
Start small if you must—consistency beats perfection. The earlier you begin, the more time compounding has to work its magic. Many who started with salaries similar to yours are now seeing their portfolios grow exponentially.
You're not behind—you're just getting started. Discipline + time + compound interest = wealth anyone can build in Nigeria today.
Who's ready to take that first step? Drop a comment if you're already investing or planning to! 💪🇳🇬

Is it even possible to inherit nothing from ur parents in a real sense. To me ur statement shows of lack of critical thinking. You were born by them. For a start. You lived secured under their shelter, you had medicine and health care. Alternative to that you would have died from basic malaria hence won't be here to cap careless. You had food. Alternative to hunger and malnourishment. You had education to wish you can now reason better and make better judgement. Yet you act like these are all you because them no leave land for you.

Jesus is a dead man. Let him be. If you see his state six feet under the ground, with maggots all over, you wouldn't want to associate with him any longer.

Stop twisting what he said. He didn't inherit any property or cash from his parents. That's possible and it shouldn't be emotionally twisted as you are doing right now.

Seriously serious 80% of people who inherited stuffs from their parents have entitlement mentality, unlike those who worked for it.
Men wey Dem leave inheritance for sef, l no even bother to check how my siblings dey run am.
Na poverty dey make people fight over inheritance.
Though is a good thing for parents to leave inheritance for their offsprings.

Rubbish

You better start working hard now so that you can leave something for your children if you don't want them to start saying this same thing you are saying now

If your parents has sponsored your education up to university level, you have inherited everything on earth....

Guy man,how?
So till date,u still believe say it education say key to success?

Nobody is twisting anything.


You did not Inherit land fine. But you Inherited many other things . Which one you cone online come de say you did not get anything. How many people actually get anything by way of such inheritance in Nigeria. If he is not the one twisting.

Asking people how they cop on top. Not inheriting shit is the norm. Getting anything is the exception. You the one twisting while pretending to be asking innocent question.

In Nigeria, this statement sounds nice but it’s not the reality for many students. Plenty of parents only handle the beginning, then leave the child to struggle through the rest of university alone fees, rent, feeding, everything.
What makes it worse is the attitude. Many of these same parents disappear when the student is suffering, but once the child succeeds, they quickly come out to claim the glory and say they “trained” the child. If the child fails, they distance themselves and blame the same child.
Let’s be honest many Nigerian students succeed because of their own struggle and resilience, not because they were fully supported from start to finish.

I think you’re just “ naturally lazy ,” let me tell you something.

There are countless resources online to help you grow, move forward, and become better in this generation. The real problem is not lack of opportunity—it’s not taking your personal development seriously.

Let me tell you what you don’t know about me.

I have worked as a security guard- I just shared and experience up there, a cleaner, a community admin (pioneer moderator at Naijaloaded - I will tell you how I started a telegram channel, got recruited by someone to grow their WhatsApp channel, filled two WhatsApp group till he bream in less than 2 months and a telegram channel of over 22k members ), tried to start my own platform with some friends (*MITACY* with Upload, Tobi and myself) we failed, speaking of failure, *I wrote WAEC twice, jamb thrice and I had a carry over twice, fair ICAN wella wella,* failed many job interview (story another day), worked as a conductor (Oshodi to Sango- what I learn there in 8 months, felt like I have been there for 8yrs, _street does not GIVE, it TAKES!_), and sold boxers on the streets of Lagos (check my MTN contact on Truecaller—you’ll see Banana Republic boxers 😄). I have worked as a Salesman in a shop that's when I knew, sales is all about psychology. If you work into my shop, I can make you spend all your money, no matter how _aka gum you are_. No be juju, it's a skill I learn and forever grateful to my boss then, Oga Ndukwe.

I taught in a school where the principal created a very toxic environment. Before I arrived, private lessons in that school cost ₦8,000 for all subjects. I refused that. I charged ₦20,000 for just four subjects—the first time in the history of the school.

The next day, the principal, both vice principals, and the principal’s PA came to the staff room to ask how I did it. That money—just two months of it—was what I used to buy my *first* LG Android phone (which I later the the real owners (thieves) came for it). When the parent started reducing the fee monthly, I simply stopped the lessons.(This experience also taught me something- story for another day)

In that same school, student exam questions were hand written before taking to go and tyep in a business center for students even though the school had computers. I was the first teacher to use my own laptop to type exam questions and lesson notes and send them to the vice principal’s email. At the time, if you didn’t submit your exam questions by the end of the first month, there was no salary for that month.

During after school lessons period, I didn’t just teach subjects—I taught skills. Management didn’t like me because I was different. I told my students: “ _Assignments are my food. When I don’t see them, I become hungry—and a hungry man is an angry man_ .”

My assignments had to be submitted the very first thing next day. I didn’t care if they had 1,000 assignments from other teachers—mine came first the following morning on or before 8:00am ,thereby they are force to resume early to school. Parents began asking, “ _Who is this teacher making our children sit up like this?”_

It was normal in that school for teachers to give expo during external exams. I told my students clearly: _“I will never do it. I’d rather resign. But I will give you my blood and sweat to make sure you understand every topics.”_

And guess what?
The dullest student in that class came out with a C4 in Financial Accounting.

The day I was leaving, even the principal—the same person who made the place toxic—said he would miss me.

Outside teaching, I’ve cut grass, worked as a driver (I remember one experience, remind to share the experience), and worked in a pure water factory, where I went to deliver water and got slapped mercilessly because I almost wan cause accident as my hand never strong for driving (chai… life lessons 😅). I cleared grass at MFM along the Lagos–Ibadan Expressway three times—the third time, the man refused to pay me. I cleared a soakaway in Magboro.

The day I brought home a motorcycle on hire purchase after learning to ride okada, thieves stole it that same night. I reported to the police, and they arrested me as suspect number one 😄. I spent two weeks there (second time experiencing jail), and it took me over eight months to clear the debt.

I entered a hotel as a security man as hunger wan almost finish me, man must survive. There was no barman—so I became the barman. I made mistakes and got debited (Similar experience in an audit firm and learnt the hard way that attention to details is a skill- story for another day) before I gained sense. Later, the owner noticed my spoken English, asked a few questions, and that same night promoted me to supervisor. From supervisor to accountant, then operations manager—until I finally left the hospitality sector for good.

This is not to boast.
This is to wake someone up.

Whatever your hand finds to do—do it well.
Stop the excuses.
Remove “impossible” from your vocabulary.
Stand up.
Show up.
Work hard.
Give value.

Your background does not limit you.
Your mindset does.

Today, I dictate how I want to work. Last year, I went for an interview at a manufacturing company and told them I don’t work weekends—no matter the pay. I learned this from Dr. Ugbom, FCA, who always asked: “ What can't you achieve from Monday to Friday that you want to achieve on weekends?”

I also told them I would do three months on-site, and afterward work hybrid. I said this expecting they wouldn’t choose me. To my surprise, I was the preferred candidate.

Before that time, I also got a job in a manufacturing firm, and I was asked to work in Saturday, I bluntly told the man, I don't work on weekends and told him I would refer someone, the person I referred we met at an interview two years ago.

This is my remote work journey:

Kenyan company (Bethwel)

Nigerian company (Mz Accountant)

American company (ID Accountant)

Nigerian company (Az – Accountant)

American company (Ese – Operations Manager) till date

Nigerian company (Accounts & Admin Officer) till date

Nigerian company (TMZ – Account Officer) till date

Nigerian company (Project Manager) 2026- I got this on Mr Leke WhatsApp remote group

I am currently doing three remote jobs.

Get up there—and get to work. 💪🔥

I have seen many that their parents left so much for them go broke in no time, because they did not empower themselves, they did not get any skill, and they believed everything was easy. Those who inherited nothing knew that no one is coming to help them, so they set into the journey knowing that they're the architect of their fortunes.

But then, others inherited from their parents and made a fortune out of it. It depends on the amount of information at one's disposal, his mindset and his worldview. Some of us only inherited from God and we have tried our best, even though we still need to do more. Sometimes I look at my life and I'm very pleased that with the little I got, I still better pass my neighbour 4 by 4 by far.
