Nigerian singer Simi recently shared some powerful advice for parents, urging them to raise their daughters to be financially independent.

In a TikTok video, Simi emphasized the importance of women being self-sufficient and encouraged parents to teach their children these values early on.

Her message was clear, “Please don’t raise your daughters to believe they must rely on someone else to take care of them. If someone is spoiling you, it shouldn’t be because you can’t spoil yourself. Let it be mutual, you’re both contributing, and they know you’re strong and independent.”

Simi stressed the confidence and security that comes with financial independence, noting that it allows women to protect themselves and recognize their value. She explained, “There’s security in knowing you can take care of yourself. A woman’s financial strength helps her stand tall, protect herself, and confidently acknowledge that she is whole. You deserve good things and should take up space in this world.”

Reflecting on her own upbringing, Simi acknowledged the privilege and opportunities she had, which helped her on her path to success. She also urged society to support women who have had fewer opportunities, less love, and less encouragement.

Simi’s advice serves as a powerful reminder to empower the next generation of women to be self-reliant and confident in their own abilities.
