Anambra-born business mogul, Obi Iyiegbu, popularly known as Obi Cubana has blamed what he described as the get-rich-quick syndrome among young Nigerians on societal and family pressures.
Cubana spoke on the topical issues surrounding ritual killings and other wealth-motivated vices among the youth in a post he shared on his Instagram page.
The entrepreneur said at a young age, Nigerian families were already piling unrealistic responsibilities to young Nigerians.
The socialite said that pressures placed on youths to meet certain standards often lead to harmful outcomes, arguing that that a lot of youths are going through depression because of the pressure and stress created by society and family.
He said many young people have to leave school just to fend for their families, especially young girls, who are on the streets because they need to send money home.
Cubana also emphasised the need for people to begin to shift their values and teach youths to learn to accept and love themselves and not live above their means in a bid to fit in.
