The main message of this book is: While preparing a child to EARN big in future, it is equally imperative to simultaneously prepare him/her for a sound SPENDING pattern to always engage in adulthood. This is because, on the long run it is the spending pattern a windfall or a new level of fortune happens to meet in a person that would largely determine whether the person will be able to control the success or it is the success that would control the person. Therefore the journey to Financial Intelligence must start as early as possible and must begin with the putting of a child's money in his/her bank account. This book can also be described like this: Robert T Kiyosaki, an American author in one of his books titled 'RICH DAD, POOR DAD' used American 'eyes to see' poverty and the very solution to escape from her traps. Light Folu Oluwale an African author is here using Afican 'eyes to also see' poverty and also proffering his own anti-dote in this title: PUTTING CHILDREN MONEY IN CHILDREN BANKS. The book centers round the quality of parental inputs in all of the 18-year childhood, which is the foundational and formative years of a man's life and how the inputs can be improved upon significantly. The two tables at the back cover of the book briefly summarized the entire contents and the objective of the book. The first table above shows financial activities should commence as soon as a child is born and the activity should increase and multiply with a child increase in age. The second table reflects the general trend presently of most children worldwide that is bereft of any financial activities except for scholastic development. Meanwhile, what interest parents and even political leaders most is the academic growth of a child. Spending of Money is a good example of what a child should know before attaining age 18 is not on the teaching menu of most schools and even universities worldwide. Therefore a child having only academic growth to someday become a professional without a parallel growth in other essential knowledge like Money Awareness is an abnormal growth. Both poverty and prosperity begins from childhood albeit unnoticed. Therefore whatsoever each parent does with a child within the 18-year childhood period will largely determine the choice of the financial destination of the child in adulthood, and ignorance is no excuse. The book crosses the borders of theoretical analyses on the principal cause of poverty worldwide and prescribing the real solution needed and yet refused to stop but further climaxed to the point of practicality. All the analyses are carefully explained with fantastic storylines to match, even the main story is in a drama format making comprehension of the message therein much easier. The book is all about making parents worldwide go extra miles to ensuring that their children cross to adulthood better equipped to adequately face the challenges of modern times. It is also hope it would contribute immensely into reducing world poverty, crime and terror. A thoroughly researched work on the principal cause of poverty worldwide using an African society as a case study and the prescriptions for parents to engage in order to ensure their children cross to adulthood not only rich but also well-equipped and well able to face adulthood and the challenges of modern times therein without fear. The solution is not limited to Africa. The prescription would work for any family anywhere in the world. The global efficacy is demonstrated by using a typical American youth with poverty problem and the possible solution Poverty can better be fought and won with the involvement of parents. The book finally climaxed into giving a birth to an organization to be called CHILDRENBANKS.
