Make we hear word, there are so many children without fathers that still made it in life. There is no excuse in struggling as a man, the worst thing that can happen to a man is to put your trust in another man's wealth or depend on another man to survive.

Ebigwei007:
hmmm, but they both have tails

MKO obviously didn't groom his sons for leadership... This is why succession planning is very vital. The concept of "first born" controlling everything has done a lot of harm to families as well, cos what if the first born isn't responsible?

Imagine how the entire family's wealth went down the drain after the father's demise. Na wa ooo.

zoghys:


You sound stupid. That's is father's wealth and legacy, so every right thinking kid should ride on his parent's legacy and work hard to better it.

omokab:
No ! Why should he forget about inheritance that belong to all of them . Yoruba says this thing is for me ,is different to this thing is for all of us. The properties of their father is for all of them and according to the quaran verses that raise curses on those that eat the property that belong to the children of the deceased . Kola should give what belong to them so that he will not face the consequences of it at the end . just my simple advice .

Owutuotuo:


Please read again. Not only polygamy was mentioned.

Yorubas and greediness. Why not help ur brothers. You ate alone. After u will say Igbos don't love themselves. Hypocrites. This can not happen in an Igbo family because we have this orientation that everybody should be okay to avoid envy, hatred and disunity. I love my Igbo people. Yorubas are complete opposite of what they say

MKO self did some very Nasty things to acquire his wealth

It is the fact that he didn’t Capitulate over June 12 that makes people still have regard for him

Abiola that fathered 3 Children with the Wife of his own Junior Brother cannot have a Peaceful family

because he broke up many Marriages and Families

meemee:
Was it while the younger brother was alive or what?

Owutuotuo:
M.K.O was extremely wealthy, perhaps as wealthy as Dangote of today. Polygamy, ignored fatherhood (or daddyship), and dirty politics have impacted grossly on his legacies. Where is Concord Newspaper today? Where is Concord Airlines? Fizzled into thin air.

A lesson learned here: Build your home above all.

ceejayluv:
He had too many children abeg....

chris51:



You are absolutely right. Half of them are not his biological children. That's why he insisted on DNA for all of them not born by his first wife.

jayce232:

What are u saying??
Their father is not just another man pls!
Why are we struggling? Is it not because of the future of our children? So they can have a better life?

chris51:



To be honest are they all his biological children? Women were bringing children from left, right and center.

AnyanwuSK:


You made no sense.

Somebody is talking about share of his father's properties and here giving silly analogy.

What do people made in life?

How did Abiola himself make the wealth? stealing from Nigeria ---- That ITT project meant to install phones in every NIGERIAN home that MKO never executed but collected more than US$100 Million for in the mid 1970's was the foundation of his ill-gotten wealth. That money in today's value (adjusted for inflation) is up to US$5 Billion

One of the mistakes children from wealthy homes make is that your parents money is your money. If you have that believe its dangerous for you.instead use your parents networks,privileges and opportunities to work for you e.g davido

OMEGA009:
The problem with our thieving elite is that they do not teach their children how to manage wealth. Rather, they tell them, “I’ve stolen enough for you not to bother working again in your life. Come and eat to your hearts content”. That is why we do not hear about the children of the rich after a generation but abroad, the Rockerfellers, the Rothschilds, the Wellingtons and co have children who still control the family fortunes despite their drug problems and all. Jose Mourinho, despite being a successful coach has a daughter who works as an engineer. The former French President has a child who is an accountant and works in a public office. In Nigeria, we pay their school fees till 3032 and allow them to fly first class while eating lobsters in 5 star restaurants. No grooming or any form of financial education. Don’t call it karma because the same karma is supposed to affect the British aristocracy and the racist Germans but they continue to wax stronger and do more evil. 98% of the “rich” men in 60’s and 70’s Nigeria cannot even boast of their progenies. Is it Arthur Eze or Danja or Awolowo?

That being said, young man, stop lamenting over properties that your father whom you probably never knew or even knew about you, left. Go and make something of yourself and stop waiting for an inheritance that will never come.

Kola simply seating on his dad's wealth and depriving his siblings any succor is cruel and unjust. I am from a polygamous family and my mum is the first wife and such thoughts does not into come into my mind. My dad had 3 wives and didn't even leave a will and there's no rancor.
