Nigerian singer Simi has urged parents to raise daughters who value self-sufficiency, emphasizing the importance of financial independence for women.
In a TikTok video, Simi encouraged women to take control of their financial futures, saying:
“Don’t raise your daughters to rely on someone else… When someone spoils you, it shouldn’t be because you can’t spoil yourself.”
Simi stressed that financial independence protects women and gives them confidence.
She acknowledged her privilege and encouraged supporting women with fewer opportunities.
