Iconic singer and actor, Banky W has averred that having money and attaining success, doesn’t guarantee fulfillment.
The ‘Final Say’ crooner made this known recently when he spoke at The Water Brook Church in Lagos.
According to him, one can be prosperous without having peace of mind.
“You can have prosperity without peace, you can have cash without contentment. If money were the key to happiness why do so many wealthy people commit suicide? Meaning is more than money, it’s not about pay, and it’s about purpose.
I was doing some research for this message and I looked up the top ten countries that deal with depression and anxiety. It may surprise you to know that two of this top ten countries that deal with depression and anxiety, were Nigerian and America. That is interesting to me because it is clear that it is not a financial thing. Because ‘Yankee’, they have money, even the poorest people there are on welfare. The government supports them in one way or form. These are two countries on different ends of the financial spectrum in terms of earning power, in terms of GDP, in terms of revenue, in terms of income. Yet when you look up depression and mental illness, US is there, Nigeria is there”.
The politician who contested in the National Assembly election to represent Eti-Osa constituency in 2019 said: ”You know what else these countries struggle with? Top ten for drug abuse and alcohol abuse. There is a correlation between depression, anxiety and substance abuse. People are searching for meaning, even people that have success and money. When you don’t find the reason you are here, you will look for it in the wrong places. True success can only be measured by fulfillment”.
