According to Nigerian Tribune, former governor of Anambra State and 2023 presidential candidate under the Labour Party, Peter Obi, has advised young Nigerians to embrace hard work and entrepreneurship, instead of focusing on shortcuts to success. He made this known while speaking at the first edition of the Amatutu Community Entrepreneurship and Empowerment Summit. The event, which took place in his hometown of Agulu in Anaocha Local Government Area of Anambra State, brought together many young people from across the region.
Peter Obi used the opportunity to express concern over what he described as a worrying trend among some youths who are desperate to get rich quickly without considering the long-term consequences. He urged them to understand the value of genuine effort and to cultivate habits that promote sustainable development. According to him, success built on hard work not only lasts longer but also helps to build a better society. He explained that entrepreneurship offers more meaningful rewards than unlawful pursuits.
During his address at the summit, Obi gave personal insights into his family background. He mentioned that his father was once a wealthy man who owned luxurious properties and several vehicles, including three Mercedes Benz cars in the late 1950s. He explained that despite this, the family did not hold on to those material things forever. This, he noted, serves as an example that wealth can come and go, but values and principles remain. He encouraged the youth to focus on acquiring knowledge, building character, and developing useful skills that would prepare them for future leadership and business roles.
