Popular Nollywood actress Nkechi Blessing Sunday has opened up about the emotional toll that comes with being a fully independent woman, admitting that she is exhausted from constantly handling life on her own.

 

In a heartfelt moment during a recent episode of her podcast, the actress revealed that while she has worked hard to earn everything she owns, the reality of doing it all without support has become overwhelming.

 

“Every single thing that I own, I work towards getting it. I buy it and I make myself happy. But I’m tired,” Nkechi said.

“I’m tired of being an independent woman. I need a man to do all these things for me because I’ve tried.”

 

According to her, being self-sufficient has always been a source of pride, but behind the scenes is a woman who carries a heavy burden alone. She emphasized that while society often praises independent women, it rarely acknowledges how lonely and draining it can be.

 

The actress confessed that she now desires a supportive partner—someone who can share the weight and take on responsibilities so she doesn’t always have to be the provider, the planner, and the protector all at once.

 

Her honesty has sparked conversations online, with many women relating to her experiences and applauding her vulnerability. Some pointed out that independence doesn’t mean one doesn’t need support, while others echoed her sentiment that strong women still deserve care and partnership.

 

Nkechi Blessing’s message serves as a reminder that even those who seem the strongest need someone to lean on—and there is no shame in saying, “I’m tired.”
