Despite efforts made over a decade by successive governments in Nigeria to tackle head long the issue of poverty through various wealth creation and poverty alleviation programme, not much seems to have been achieved. This is evident by the growing poverty incidence of the state. Over time studies that aim to investigate the wealth creation capacity of small and medium scale enterprises (SMEs) from the view point of individual business owners (chief executive officers) who are seen as decision makers have become increasingly important as most governments pursue economic policies that can alleviate poverty in their nation. This paper adopts a literary perspective in investigating the effects of entrepreneurial practice on wealth creation in Nigeria. The study revealed that the scourge of poverty, youth restiveness, income inequality, social inequality problems and unemployment are associated to lack or inadequate adoption of entrepreneurial practice in Nigeria. More so, it was found that a symbolic relationship exist between entrepreneurial practice and wealth creation and the researcher seriously advocates for government evolvement of policies and programs that support the enthronement of entrepreneurial culture as a panacea to unemployment, poverty reduction, youths restiveness and wealth creation.
