‘Better to have your own money than depend on men’ – Linda Ikeji advises young ladies

Linda Ikeji, a well-known media personality, has advised young women to pursue financial success as opposed to depending on males to provide for their financial requirements.

She pointed out that wealth is not a “birthright” exclusive to men. The single mother clarified that she would prefer work toward financial independence than rely on a partner.

On her Instagram page, 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.
