Nigerian singer Simi has highlighted the critical importance of financial independence for women, urging parents to raise daughters who understand the value of self-sufficiency. In a recent video shared on her official TikTok account, she emphasized the need for women to take control of their financial futures.
Simi stated, “Please do not raise your daughters to think that when they grow up, all they have to do is rely on someone that they don’t have to take care of themselves. When someone is spoiling you, it shouldn’t be because you cannot spoil yourself. As they are spoiling you, you too are spoiling them, and let them know that you’re standing strong.”
She underscored that financial independence provides security for women, allowing them to navigate relationships and life with confidence. Simi’s message resonates with the ongoing conversation about empowering women to be self-sufficient and resilient.
