Media personality, Jason Njoku in a recent tweet revealed that he may not leave any wealth for his kids when he’s gone.
The businessman tweeted on Friday about why he and his actress wife Mary Njoku “save to spend today”.
Jason said he and Mary have agreed not to leave too much wealth for their children.
According to him, when wealth is inherited, it usually comes with a huge burden.
He added that after ensuring the kids have sound education, “our job is done, they can fend for themselves”.
“Mrs. Mary Njoku & I save to guarantee our kids a great education. After that our job is done & they can fend for themselves. We don’t save for ourselves we spend to enjoy today,” he wrote.

“Young money is better than old money. It’s way more fun. Trying to leave as little behind as possible.
“From all I have read, inherited wealth is mostly a burden. We actually don’t buy much stuff. We spend on family experiences. Experiences we hope to gist about when we’re old and less mobile. In the end, life is to be lived.”
Njoku is the co-founder and CEO of iROKOtv, a video-on-demand service for Nigerian movies.
