Nigerian singer Simi has emphasized the crucial importance of financial independence for women, urging parents to raise self-sufficient daughters.

In a recent TikTok video, Simi encouraged women to take control of their financial futures. "Don't rely solely on others; learn to spoil yourself," she said.

Simi stressed that financial independence provides security and protection for women. "Economic power allows women to confidently acknowledge their worth."

Acknowledging her privilege, Simi reflected on her supportive upbringing. "Not everyone has the same opportunities; society must step in."

Simi appealed to those in positions of power: "Give deserving women opportunities."
