For a fortnight today,the media has devoted acres of space and airtime holding a spotlight to the life of a fortunate or unfortunate millionaire,depending on your standpoint. Readers,listeners and viewers alike have been told stories fronted on various accounts that probably led to the demise of young,resilient Samuel Wanjiru.
While the death of Wanjiru remains shrouded in mystery, for now,money points to this death, with sociologists and editorials calling for a fresh approach in helping people who get too rich when they are too young to handle the fortune.
In the build up to his death,Wanjiru's woes spilled out. Only this year,there was a divorce threat by his wife,Trizah,on grounds of a strained relationship with her mother-in-law.However ,things appeared to cool down when,weeks ago,The couple was seen on TV and in the papers announcing their reconciliation.
In retrospect,it is now an open book that Wanjiru displayed this gesture to save his career,nay,marriage to Triza.To me,this was done to enhance his image to the world.And soon returned to his WWW world--- wealth,women and wine.In aword,if anybody should be blamed for Wanjiru's death,it is his manager.For how could he sit and watch Wanjiru,24,get lost in money?I don't understand.I f I were he or she I would have sought out a way of helping this youngster survive in a world of wealth at a tender age.
Having said that,I think it is time closer attention is accorded to helping young people who are favored by providence to fall on fortune
cope with it.There are many in this list.Musicians,artists ,footballers,and professionals in lucrative ventures.
