Obi Cubana points out a societal shift where the offspring of once-wealthy individuals find themselves outpaced by those who started with less but climbed their way up.

He further elaborated, “The poor men’s children of yesterdays are busy buying out the properties of rich men of yesterdays, from the children they acquired and left those properties for! It’s the cycle of life!!!”

Cubana emphasized the importance of enjoying the fruits of one’s labor while alive, quoting a local saying, “ọlu ụnọ na-amuta ole ụnọ,” which translates to “The builder/acquiring man gives birth to a seller-son.” He urged, “While you toil and work very hard to acquire, make out time to enjoy the proceeds of your hard work!”

In a powerful conclusion, he reminded everyone that wealth should benefit mankind, not cause pain or oppression: “Time is ticking, and nothing lasts forever……SELAH!”
