"Your wealth means nothing to God if it's not to the benefit of the poor" - Ooni of Ife speaks

The 51st Ooni of Ife, His Imperial Majesty, Oba Enitan Adeyeye Babatunde Ogunwusi, Ojaja II, in his New Year Post on Instagram wrote on the importance of helping the poor with your wealth.

The monarch said if a rich person doesn't help the poor and the needy, his wealth means nothing to God.

Via his Instagram handle, Oba Ogunwusi wrote, "Vanity upon vanity! You become very rich and you can't care for the poor, vanity upon vanity! You become so influential in the society and you can't bow to God Almighty, vanity upon vanity!

We die everyday. The moment you go asleep, you don't remember all what you think you have that pushes you to be so arrogant to God and callous to your fellow human beings until you wake up the next morning. This is exactly what happens when you finally die and God can take your life anytime. Vanity upon vanity!

As we begin this new year I implore all to care for the needy because your wealth means nothing to God if it is not for the benefit of the poor. Always remember you were not born with wealth and you will not leave this world with it.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
