Popular businessman, Jason Njoku, has explained why he makes it a priority to spend quality time with his family despite his busy schedule.

In a series of tweets he shared on the microblogging platform, Twitter, the Iroko TV boss said he has a culture of work and travel that factors in time for his family, and that he can never sacrifice the time intended for his family on something else.

Jason Njoku said he understands that life is fragile and vain and that nothing can be compared to spending time with his wife, mother, and children.

He further added that even though money is tantamount to living a good life, he knows a lot of rich people who are bored and lonely.

The father-of-three, whose social media page is filled with photos of his wife and children, tweeted,

“Haven’t left home in 10days🤗. Almost ready to hit the road again. Something that has helped me build rapid travel movement muscle is my own little rule. I MUST come home every 10days. This means if I need to travel across Lusaka, Kinshasa, or Joburg. It’s 2-3 days/city then home.

Jason Njoku reveals

I won’t sacrifice my presence at home. Never. If I have to spend more than 2 weeks anywhere. The entire clan relocates. Kids <10 so it works. Not sure this works when the kids are older. But for now, that’s the clan culture. People think it’s weird I fly 13hrs to spend weekends at home.

8 years ago Obi (then 1.5yrs) never used to see me. So when he started speaking he used to call me Mummy. If there was a point where I knew things had to change and I need to prioritize family over everything else. That was it. Never regretted it since.

Spending more time with my Mum has reinforced this massively too. Firstly in the late 30s & early 40s, you begin to see parents, aunts & uncles pass on. At first, it’s a trickle. Then it’s every month someone you grew up with passes on🙏🏿. For your parents that is actually terrifying.

Literally, someone around them of similar age is dying every month. If that doesn’t focus the mind on the fragility of life I don’t know what will. At 42 I am statistically at 50% of my life on planet earth (🇬🇧 life expectancy is 81). In 🇳🇬 that is 53 (79% there already🤯).

I now know that beyond $1m everything is vanity. Money helps but I know plenty of lonely or bored rich folks. Me? I retire at 50. So being healthy & spending time with my wife, Mum & kids x100 anything else I achieve. Seeing them grow never fails to warm my heart. 🥰😍

Luckily, with the help of an employee named Esther from First Bank Plc in Ghana, Chacha Eke was able to regain her memory. Esther recognized her and helped her remember her true identity and home.

Read her full story below,

“Slide 1 photo was me by this time last year-1st June 2022. I was in the middle of a manic episode that lingered for months. One day, I woke at 3am feeling unsafe and ran vigorously to a nearby motor park. I travelled to Lagos from Asaba like a fugitive.

Loitered the streets/hotels and beaches in Lagos for days. It was a rough blend of schizophrenia, depression, identity crisis and bipolar disorders. Using this “made-up” Identity card of me from one of my imaginary companies; I headed for Ghana by boat. Clad in black jalabia, I kept moving. I passed border after border; terrified & unrecognized.

In that moment, I was a “Drifter”. It was at First bank in Ghana through a lovely bank staff named “Esther” that somehow, I remembered me. I remembered home. Esther was an Angel the universe used to open my eyes to the reality I disconnected from. I began to make my way back home. It took days but I returned, albeit sickly & in denial. One year later, l’m thankful to have survived one of my craziest episodes ever recorded.”

“I have got this cleaner in my house in Nigeria; Abuja. He is from Benue State because I like to hire people from my home state.

So, as my dad was traveling. Obviously, we keep cash in our house. He [my dad] realized some dollars were missing. Only for us to find out that it was this guy from my own state that has been stealing for about a year little by little.

The guy stole enough money to build a house in his state. Now, two things, I’m slightly impressed that he actually invested the money into something that is going to benefit him and his family. For that reason, I’m not upset.”
