Raise Independent Daughters, Simi Urges Parents

Nigerian singer Simisola Kosoko, fondly called Simi, has offered guidance to parents on raising daughters with independence in mind.

In a video shared on her Instagram handle, the artist emphasized the importance of teaching young girls to take charge of their financial futures rather than relying on others.

The mother of one expressed disapproval of the common practice where parents hope for their daughters to marry rich men.

Instead, she encouraged parents to instill values of self-reliance and independence in their daughters from an early age.

“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,” she said.
