The Simple Philosophy of M.K.O Abiola

I don't know how authentic this story is but I like it all the same. Hope you will too.

24 hours before his death, Chief MKO Abiola wrote;
" There are two reasons behind what people called
my generosity. Firstly, I am a Muslim and
generosity is enjoined on all Muslims by Islam.
Secondly, I am also a realist. I happen to know
that hoarding earthly wealth is meaningless, in so
far as a millionaire, will not, when he dies, be
buried with his millions. I prefer to share the little I have with those who have none at all, in the belief
that God, whose command I obey, will reward me
in the next world. "
" I can't even hoard things for my children as
many people do. For one thing, how do I know
that my children, when I die, will not spend all the
wealth I have, thus amassed through tight -
fistedness within 24 hours! Such a thing has
happened to many so-called rich men, hasn't it?
I believe that no one but God can make anyone
rich. Selfishness often runs counter to true self
interest ".
