An accomplished 90-year-old Nigerian pharmacist, Alhaji Adegoke Ogunyemi, has stated that he won’t leave his children an inheritance after providing them with a good education
The co-founder of Jolliters Chemists from Ogun State disclosed this in an interview with Punch.
Excerpt below…
What are the morals you’ve instilled in your children; perhaps lessons you learnt in your youth that you passed on to them?
Number one, they must work hard. They must also learn to fend for themselves because, as a father, I don’t plan to leave any wealth for them if I provide them with a good education, which is the legacy I will leave behind. When you take your education to the university level, you will understand that it is a tool for life. If you work hard, it will sustain you even when I am no longer around.
Education is a lifelong legacy. It ensures they remain independent and can thrive as professionals. But if they don’t learn anything and choose to be idle, they will only have themselves to blame when they grow older.
I am grateful to God that my children listened to my advice. I have a pharmacist son who is a fellow of the Pharmaceutical Society of Nigeria. My first son is a pharmacist and a distinguished fellow of the society. Others are engineers, accountants, and professionals in their respective fields. They all have good jobs.
