The winner of Big Brother Naija season 7, Phyna, recently gave advice to young ladies, emphasizing the importance of not relying on their boyfriends for financial support. Phyna shared her own experience, stating that she has never depended on anyone for money since her school days. She revealed that she started hustling in secondary school and has continued to be self-reliant ever since.
Phyna acknowledged that her father is alive but not financially well-off, which motivated her to work hard and strive for success independently. She strongly encouraged women not to expect a comfortable life or financial assistance from men, but rather urged them to take charge of their own needs and work hard to support themselves. However, she also mentioned that if a man is capable of providing financial assistance, it can be accepted and enjoyed together.
In a video statement, Phyna expressed her perspective, saying, "I don't expect money from any man. I've been hustling for myself since secondary school. My father is still alive, he's not rich, and that is why I have to work hard to sustain myself. No woman should expect a soft life from men. You have to hustle so that you can cater for yourself, but if he's capable of giving you money, you can take it and enjoy it with him."
Phyna's advice resonates with her personal journey and serves as a reminder for young women to be independent, determined, and proactive in securing their own financial stability.
