We’ve been taught that wealth is a pile—a mountain of money you hoard for your own security. But in the traditional African worldview, wealth is a river, not a reservoir. It must flow. It must move through you, not just sit on you. When money stagnates, so does your Chi (life force). The modern obsession with endless accumulation is a colonial hangover rooted in scarcity. True ancestral abundance isn’t about how much you have in your savings app; it’s about how much passes through your hands to uplift the village. If your money isn’t feeding your community, your spirit, or your purpose, it’s just dead paper.
