Popular media personality Linda Ikeji has encouraged young women to pursue financial success independently rather than relying on men for their financial needs.
Emphasizing that wealth is not an exclusive "birthright" of men, Ikeji, a mother of one, shared her perspective on Instagram, stating her preference for financial independence over dependence on a man.
"Dear young lady, I hear you! If that’s how you see life and want to live it, 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," Ikeji wrote.
She acknowledged the common belief that it's a man's world but asserted that with fearlessness, strength, determination, and grace, women can also dominate and thrive. "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 added.
Ikeji advised women to aim to be as wealthy as, if not wealthier than, their spouses, advocating for self-sufficiency and ambition.
