Renowned music producer and Mavin Records founder, Michael Ajereh, popularly known as Don Jazzy, has revealed that despite having the means to buy a private jet or luxury cars, he prioritises investment and skill acquisition over flashy spending.
In a recent interview with Habby FX, shared on YouTube on Sunday, Don Jazzy said he has long been financially capable of acquiring any car or even owning a jet but prefers to channel his resources into personal growth and supporting others.
“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 said.
He explained that investment is not only about accumulating wealth but also about self-improvement. The veteran producer disclosed that he is currently learning forex trading as part of his effort to develop practical skills that can yield long-term benefits.
“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 advised.
Don Jazzy also used the platform to encourage young Nigerians to look beyond traditional career paths and embrace skill acquisition, especially as technology and artificial intelligence continue to redefine the global job market.
“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 music mogul’s remarks reflect his long-standing advocacy for creativity, entrepreneurship, and the empowerment of Nigerian youth through innovation and self-development.
