 I came across a news flash on the media, it was so heartbreaking however it prompted me to create this topic and I'll like us to have a debate on it here in the forum. A Nigerian busines tycoon and the former CEO of Konga (an online store) took his own life, news have it that he jumped from the roof of his house, after calling his brother in the U.S to inform him of how to distribute his wealth.

 Well, i surfed the net to know his worth and discovered that he's worth about roughly $2.9m. You'll be wondering why a young and wealthy man of about 45 years, would decide to take his own life even after acquiring such wealth, i know many would think he's selfish he didn't consider his family, this and that but that's not the topic of the day, what I think is that one could have billions and several other assets but still find it difficult to have peace of mind.

 If money could guarantee someone peace of mind, then the man in person would've spent half of what he's acquired to find peace but what we was going through was beyond his wealth, and he's a prove that one can have all the billions and still not get peace or happiness. I might be wrong though but what's your opinion?
