Veteran music producer and Mavin Records boss, Don Jazzy, has urged young Nigerians to focus on self-development and the acquisition of practical skills in today’s fast-evolving digital world shaped by technology and artificial intelligence.
In a recent video shared online, the music mogul revealed that, despite having the financial means to acquire luxury items such as exotic cars or private jets, he prefers to invest in personal growth and meaningful skills.
“I’ve been blessed enough to afford any type of car I want, or even a private jet, but I have more important things to take care of. Nothing beats investment, including investing in yourself and acquiring knowledge that you can charge people for,” he stated.
Don Jazzy disclosed that he is currently learning Forex trading as part of his journey of self-improvement.
“This Forex I’m learning now is an investment in myself. Whether I like it or not, tomorrow it’s going to turn into something I can call a skill—something I have and can use,” he added.
He further encouraged Nigerians not to remain idle but to identify and develop skills that can sustain them in the digital age. “Don’t just be useless. Go and acquire a skill, whatever skill it is. Nowadays, it doesn’t necessarily have to be that you must be a doctor, lawyer, or engineer. In this internet and AI age, even carpentry can become a valuable skill,” he advised.
Don Jazzy’s message has been widely praised on social media, with many commending him for promoting financial literacy and personal development among Nigerian youths.
