Lmao. You are right actually. With all her money, fame and being a Senator, she's still fighting patriarchy.

But seriously, why would anyone tie feminism with money? That's just réta@rdéd.
Likeeee . Patriarchy is real, I always thought it's not a real deal in southwest until I decided to want more of life and witnessed it raw. Little wonder made women have to develop thick skin with touch of masculinity to survive.

I just don't get it! The two are not even mutually inclusive.

Nigerian online personality and entrepreneur, Adeife, has stirred massive reactions online after declaring that true feminism requires financial independence, not just online activism.

Adeife says feminism isn’t just about tweeting quotes or posting empowering messages online. Real empowerment comes from having choices, and choices often come with money.

“You can’t be a feminist if you’re broke. Money is what makes a woman powerful. You can’t be empowered without the means of empowerment, which is money.”

She explained that financial dependence is why many women stay in bad relationships, unfulfilling jobs, or stressful situations.

Adeife known for her her outspoken views on women’s empowerment, encouraged ladies to earn their own income, saying money gives the freedom to make decisions, challenge norms, and shape their lives.


Is Adeife right that money equals empowerment?
@ bold:

Money gives you options.

However, what do you with those options are much more important.
