I know this is not the right section for this but I feel enough people should have their say in this topic, so mods please, just be understanding for we all are nothing but pencils in the hand of the creator...

I'm sure we all know and have heard of legendary Chinese movie actor "Jackie chan" ?
I once read somewhere on the internet where he once said that when he dies, his money and wealth will not go to any of his children that he is going to will everything to charity so that his children can learn to make their own money in life and not be dependent on his, something like that...

I've heard my dad often say something similar too.. He normally tells us of how he trained him self through out his university days without the help of anyone and that we should not depend on his wealth because he might surprise us, that when he dies, he might sell all his properties and look for one Church to give all his money that we should go and work for our own (I know he is indirectly talking to me as the first son).. I'm not saying people like my father or Jackie chan are bad parents but here are my questions

Is it really necessary ? Or is it the right way to teach your children?
If you had a dad like the aforementioned, would you allow such ?

Only people who think that making money is only about brains, brawl and planning think like that.

Making money and being wealthy is a GIFT from God. One small difference in history, Dangote or Otedola will never be where they are.

Parents should groom their children to make money BUT should also extend their GRACE so that the children will maintain the businesses and wealth extended to them.

Jackie Chan's children are a disgrace to Chinese culture. The father just told them that they are disowned!

Sammy07:


Well, na the man problem be that, at least I'll make 80% of my wealth to go to my children.



Life can be funny at times, what if what his thinking/planned didn't worked out?
Or his children were unable to make their own money

Simran94:


You brought a child into this world, it is your responsibility as a parent to cater for them and see that they don’t lack. You can’t just give birth a child and leave them to fend for themselves when you have more than enough except in cases where the parents aren’t financially buoyant. If you are wealthy as a parent and you would rather give your money to charity while telling your children to hustle by themselves then in my opinion I don’t think you are a good parent. You are better off without children.

Na parents wey get inheritance at all dey think of charity. E get where where I dey go

No mind ur dad he no go fit do am.
That kind of lifestyle is seen in developed world where even with little effort one can easily make it.
Where Even though u aren't putting any effort or being lazy government is there to dash you check back to back.

Not in Nigeria where if u don't know anyone, even if you have the best business ideas, best skills and u dont have long leg you are on ur own.

Even in university, some lecturer will tell you " you cant have A in this course,why will you have A in it while during my days i didn't"

Everybody have the right to spend their money however they like...after all its their money




My take is give the money
/wealth to charity when you are alive

Falconx47:


How much of the little wealth you have now have you given to charity?

A good number of parents here in Africa, has had enough reason to give there ungrateful children the same treatment. If your disrespectful and unserious in life, you get nothing from me.
