Total rubbish. Oga your advice is only for lazy women in abusive marriages. My dad told me to work hard and be rich as a woman, he says the reason, he never abused my Mum and treated her like a queen was because mum never depended on his money, mum was financially independent. Dad says men treat their financially independent wives with respect because they know, they have alternatives. They are every man’s dream. Happily, I have been married now for 20 years and I am 43 years old, my hubby never hits me or disrespects me, but the day he tries it, I will file for divorce without thinking twice, I don’t disrespect him either. I can afford anything I need, why will l stay in an abusive marriage?

First Anonymous, Thank you. Your comment reminds me of what black Africa’s first female novelist, the late Flora Nwapa, wrote. She urged women to be financially independent, to have their own earning ventures, however small. I believe she was absolutely, totally right. Financial independence is empowering and dignifying.
Your father na fool sha, did you read what you wrote? So he would have beat her if she didn’t work. I can see his traits in you already.
