Kids on episode 10 of the TV series, ‘Kids Say the Darndest Things’ tell why they want to be rich.
During a Panel discussion, on the Etisalat sponsored programme, the trio of eight-year-old Debike, seven-year-old Oluchi and another eight-year-old Adasa, while responding to the show host, Tony Okungbowa, who asked them if they wanted to be rich, stunned their audience with their views of true riches.
Adasa said her desire for riches is to empower her so that she could give to orphans while Debike wants to be rich so she can assist her family. The most hilarious and heart touching response was that of Oluchi, who cited the story of a very mean and uncaring rich man she read in a book, and said her desire is to live happy and be contended with whatever God provides for her.
Debike even amazed the audience further with her demonstration of informed knowledge of the Nigerian economy especially the current exchange rate of the Naira to the United States dollars, which she claimed she knew through her brother, who is an avid newspaper reader as well as her curiosity for knowledge via the online media, newspapers and her banker-parents.
Guests of the week on the ‘Stand out kids’ segment were seven-year-old girl, Emerald Jayeola, and her parents with Mr. Jayeola sharing the testimony of the miraculous healing of his daughter to encourage those going through difficult moments in life to have hope.
On ‘Ask the experts’ segment, the kids discussed some socio-economic issues such as transportation, and suggested improvement in fuel supply.
