Simi Urges Parents to Raise Financially Independent Daughters
Popular Nigerian musician Simi has called on parents to instil financial independence in their daughters, emphasizing the importance of self-sufficiency for women. In a recent video shared on her Instagram, the singer encouraged parents to teach young girls to take charge of their financial lives, cautioning against the traditional mindset of relying on men for security.
Simi voiced concern over the common practice where some parents express hopes for their daughters to marry wealthy partners. She stressed the need for a shift in perspective, urging parents to prepare their daughters to be self-reliant rather than dependent on future partners.
“Parents, raise your daughters to be self-sufficient, not to think that their future relies on someone else taking care of them,” she stated. “There’s security in being independent. A woman’s true power lies in being able to support herself and in knowing she’s complete on her own. Let them grow up confident, standing strong.”
The singer’s message has sparked a conversation among fans, with many applauding her call for a more empowered approach to raising girls in today’s society.
