Nigerian music mogul Michael Collins Ajereh, also known as Don Jazzy has opened up on why many young Nigerians struggle to sustain wealth, even when they earn good money.
According to him, the core issue is not a lack of income but poor financial discipline and the growing pressure to maintain a flashy lifestyle.
He explained that many young people prioritize appearances, spending heavily on luxury items, social outings, and trends, rather than saving or investing for the future.
