Popular Nigerian singer, Simi, has shared advice for parents on how to raise independent daughters. In a recent video posted on her Instagram page, the singer emphasized the importance of teaching girls to take control of their financial futures rather than relying on others.
Simi criticized the common notion of parents hoping for wealthy husbands for their daughters and urged them to raise their girls to be self-sufficient. “Parents, raise your daughters to be self-sufficient and not to think that they need to rely on someone to take care of them,” she said.
She further highlighted the importance of financial independence, stating, “There is security in being independent. A woman’s economic power is in fending for herself and confidently acknowledging that she’s a complete person.”
Simi’s message has sparked discussions among her followers, many of whom praised her for advocating female empowerment and independence.
