Invest in Yourself, Not Luxury – Don Jazzy Tells Youth

Veteran music producer and Mavin Records boss Don Jazzy has advised young Nigerians to focus on self-development and learning practical skills in today’s fast-changing digital world, driven by technology and artificial intelligence (AI).

In a video shared online, the music icon explained that even though he has enough money to buy luxury cars or a private jet, he chooses to invest in personal growth and meaningful skills instead.

“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 said.

Don Jazzy revealed that he is currently learning Forex trading as part of his personal growth journey.
“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 also urged Nigerians, especially the youth, to avoid being idle and to find skills that can help them stay relevant in today’s 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 received widespread praise on social media, with many commending him for using his platform to promote financial literacy, creativity, and personal growth among young Nigerians.

His call for skill development continues to inspire many to take charge of their future in the digital era.
