I was watching a video interview of the former SEC DG and World Bank treasurer, Mrs. Arunma Oteh, the other day.
She mentioned she started following the Nigerian stock market as a child when her parents would ask her and her siblings to analyse the annual reports of companies they had shares in.
This was what spurred her early interest in finance.
She also mentioned that it was mostly the dividend payments from the companies that her parents invested in that was used in training them in school.
As you learn and grow in the finance space, also make sure your kids are adequately exposed to the subjects of finance and investment from an early age.
Not just your kids alone.
Also carry your friends and spouses along too.
We can't afford to leave anyone in the dark.
All hands must be on deck.
It is no longer enough to leave just properties and other assets for your families.
If they don't have sound financial knowledge, all those assets might end up in the hands of strangers with better financial knowledge.
This is the reason why most wealth are lost in the third generations.
No succession planning.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Arunma Oteh recently launched her new book, "All Hands On Deck."
It's a documentation of her personal journey in the finance space as well as her experience as DG of SEC.
You can find the book on Amazon or your local bookshops.
It is worth reading.
