Gone are the days when good name are the pursuit of our
forefathers. This, they kept as their treasure and never bothered about the
acquisition of endless wealth. Truly, there is a fact that money is essential
in a man’s life, and so cannot do without it sometimes. Yet, there are some
valuable things that money cannot control, among these things is life. Wealth
is not master of the life, and neither can it control its availability. And
this has been one of the reasons why some of our fore fathers bothered not
about acquiring wealth, but good names, which will last longer.
Despite the
fact that riches is not a determinant of a mans comfort, some people still see
it as something they must acquire through any means as a result of their
getting rich quick syndrome. By this they make acquisition of wealth their main
objective, forgetting that man not dwell in riches forever and that a time will
come when man will be six feet below without all has labored for all his life
But it is
rather unfortunate that most people don’t see this as a reason to live by
dictate of their fate. So, all this makes them indulge in some anti social
behavior, which might impose on them a bad image of their personality within
and outside their society. In the society today, there are lots of avenue to
making quick and less laboured for money. It could be through all at drugs
trafficking which most of the celebrities do, and this goes in contradiction
with what they ought to shows as good example to the populace. Also, most
Nigerian youths, now take advantage of the rapid development in technology by
taking part in duping the white people through the internet. This called “yahoo-yahoo”.
It creates a bad picture about this developing country in other foreign hands.
All these and more are what people do to get rich quick. Considering not that
good name exists forever even after the death of the bearer but is transient
and when life is no more.
