Linda Ikeji, a well-known media personality, has encouraged young women to strive for financial success instead of depending on men for their financial security.
She emphasized that wealth is not exclusively reserved for men and expressed her preference for achieving financial independence rather than relying on a man for support.
On her Instagram page, Linda Ikeji wrote: “Dear young lady, I hear you! If that’s how you see life and want to live life, it’s your choice! To each his own. As for me, I’d rather be as rich as those men who must pay me for being beautiful. Being rich is not the birthright of men alone. I’d rather be their contemporary than waiting for their handouts.
“I know many believe it’s a man’s world; maybe it is, but with fearlessness, strength, determination, and grace, women can dominate and thrive in it. So, instead of waiting for men’s charity, I’d rather start early to fight for my dreams, build my business(es), break boundaries, and if God allows, shatter tables.”
She advised women to strive to be as rich or if possible, richer than their spouses.
