Controversial Big Brother Naija reality star, Doyin, has taken to social media to urge single women to prioritize financial independence over love and marriage. She stressed that a woman without financial stability is not adequately prepared for marriage or motherhood, underscoring the critical importance of having one’s own money.
Doyin highlighted the pitfalls of relying solely on a man for financial support, stating that the biggest mistake a woman can make is “depending completely” on a partner. She strongly advocates for women to seek independence first, suggesting that financial security should be a priority before considering love, marriage, or children. According to her, personal financial empowerment provides a sense of security and power that cannot be matched by dependence on another person.

In a candid message shared on her Snapchat page, Doyin wrote: “The biggest mistake you can make as a young lady is depending completely on a man. Attaining independence should be the first thing on your mind… before love, marriage, or kids. Money first!
“If you don’t have your own money, a reasonable amount of money saved up, you’re NOT ready for marriage and most definitely NOT ready to have kids. You need your own money!!
“With all I refuse humility, I refuse for the quality of my life to be dependent on the benevolence of men. I want the protection, power, and security that comes with having my own money. But like I said in the beginning, that’s just me! To each his own!”
Doyin’s outspoken views have sparked considerable discussion on social media, with many praising her for addressing a topic that resonates deeply with modern women. Her stance highlights the broader conversation about gender roles and financial independence in relationships, encouraging women to take control of their financial destinies.
In various follow-up discussions and interviews, Doyin elaborated on her perspective, sharing personal anecdotes and observations from her experiences in the reality TV world and beyond. She noted that financial independence has afforded her opportunities and security that reliance on others could never match.
Doyin’s message also touched on the cultural expectations placed on women to marry and have children, often before they have established their own careers or financial footing. She challenged these norms, advocating for a shift in mindset where women are encouraged to build their financial base first, thereby entering relationships from a position of strength rather than dependency.
