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?

for me money is happiness and peace of mind but it's not life why because the life we live is the air that we breath, but if you look at things now and the cost of living it's all about money but sometimes we don't really know the root of how he made his money. Where money can give you peace of mind it's when you know how the root of your money it made, some people have made some sacrifice that have cost their lifes and sold their peace to the devil they can't rest. So for me money keeps some going in life.
