Renowned Nigerian music producer Michael Ajereh, popularly known as Don Jazzy, has revealed that although he can afford luxury cars and even a private jet, he prefers to invest in acquiring valuable skills and supporting others.
Speaking in an interview with Habby FX, shared on YouTube on Sunday, Don Jazzy said he prioritises long-term investments and personal development over material possessions.
“I’ve been blessed enough for a long time to be able to afford any type of car I want or even buy a private jet, but I have more important things to take care of. Nothing beats investment,” he stated.
The Mavin Records boss explained that he is currently learning forex trading, describing it as an “investment in himself” that will pay off in the future.
“The forex that I’m learning now is an investment in myself. Tomorrow, it’s going to turn into something ,a skill I can use. Don’t just be useless. Go and acquire some skill,” he said.
Don Jazzy also encouraged young Nigerians to focus on skill acquisition rather than relying solely on white-collar jobs, stressing that the digital and AI-driven economy is transforming the job landscape.
“You don’t have to be a doctor, lawyer, or engineer. In this internet and AI age, a lot of jobs will disappear. Why not learn something tangible? Even carpentry or furniture making ,we still import tables and chairs from Turkey and China. If we had skilled people here, we could produce those things ourselves,” he added.
The video, which has since gone viral with over 32,000 engagements on X (formerly Twitter), has sparked widespread praise for Don Jazzy’s emphasis on financial discipline, self-development, and entrepreneurship.
