Linda Ikeji has encouraged young women to strive for financial independence rather than depending on men for financial support.
She mentioned that wealth is not the “birthright” of men alone; women also have the entitlement to pursue financial prosperity.
She clarified that she prefers to work towards financial independence rather than rely on a man for financial 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.
