Wealth without Work is the third in the series of Dr. Adetolu Ademujimi’s “7 Demoters of Nigeria’s Destiny”, which is an adaptation of Mahatma Gandhi’s “7 deadly public sins”. The 301-page book published in 2015 explored a thought-provoking phenomenon of having wealth without embracing jobs or careers that one can proudly tell on a global television. While emphasizing that work can be both hand work and brain work, the book throws light on the concept of entrepreneurship as demonstrated by billionaire Chief Adebutu Kesington, CON, KJW, to whom the author dedicated the book. Wealth without work also philosophically delved into the concepts of contentment as a “debatable word in a despicable world” and employability skills of Human capital development of graduates under a topic “Things they may not teach you in school”.
Praises for Wealth Without Work
Through his voyage into yet another subject in Gandhi’s philosophical bank, Tolu has drawn both theoretical templates and empirical evidence to situate wealth in the path of human labour & certain values and I hope his effort will improve knowledge and substantially benefit the world, especially Nigeria’s youths-dominated population.
Dr. Olusegun Mimiko, CON, Executive Governor, Ondo state, Nigeria
Dr. Ademujimi is a brilliant writer who documents all available opportunities for our youths. Tolu’s proximity to his immediate generation fondly combines his rich out-of-the-box thought processes, commendable research skills, over-the-years writing prowess, and passion for mentoring & knowledge-sharing to profoundly communicate the deep meanings of wealth and work to youngsters and leaders of today & tomorrow in Nigeria and the world at large

In the Nigerian economy with an unprecedented high rate of unemployment and disguised unemployment, low entrepreneurial skills, and rush for white collar jobs that are not available, our today’s youths, in millions, hopelessly ill-prepared and confused, will do just about anything to survive. Tolu, a medical doctor-turned-writer has in his latest book – Wealth without Work, proffered solutions and fresh ideas to tackle this hydra-headed socioeconomic challenge. The book is a timely literary piece worth consulting.

This book, the latest from Dr. Adetolu Ademujimi, provides an alternative interpretation of wealth and value, one with the potential to inspire a generation of readers! The book’s greatest strength lies within the passion and integrity of its author. It is a book written from the heart, sharing the author’s vision, but also written with the engagement of Dr. Ademujimi’s sharp and perceptive intellect. As a result, this book is not only engaging but insightful!
