Simi advises parents to train their daughters not to depend on men

Popular Nigerian songstress, Simi has advised parents to raise their girl child to take control of their financial future and not be dependent on men.

In a video she posted on Instagram, she frowned at the notion of some parents praying for a wealthy man to marry their daughters.

The singer said, “Parents raise your daughters to be self-sufficient and not to think that when they grow up, all they have to do is rely on someone to take care of them.

“There is security in being independent. A woman’s economic power is in fending for herself and being able to confidently acknowledge that she’s a complete person. Let them know that you are standing strong.”
