Nollywood actress Jemima Osunde has advised young women to focus on building their independence rather than waiting to marry wealthy men to secure their future.
Speaking in reaction to comments made by some ladies online, Osunde stressed that the expectation of becoming a full-time housewife funded by a billionaire husband is both unrealistic and limiting. She noted that not everyone will have access to a wealthy partner, hence the need for women to develop their own careers and financial stability.
Osunde, who is known for her outspoken views on social issues, explained that self-reliance brings dignity, security, and fulfillment. She encouraged women to channel their energy into personal growth and skill development rather than banking on marriage as a financial plan.
Her statement has since stirred conversations across social media, with many Nigerians applauding her call for empowerment, while others debated the pressures society places on women regarding marriage and career choices.
