Anita, a social media personality, has urged women to become financially independent rather than relying solely on men to meet their financial needs in relationships.
In a video shared on Instagram, Anita criticised women who expect men to provide for them but are unwilling to support their partners when they experience financial difficulties.
She questioned why a woman would continue dating a man when he has money but reject him when he becomes financially unstable.
“You cannot date a man because all of a sudden he’s not giving you money again, or he’s broke. So, you cannot support him, you cannot date him, but you can date him when he has money. That’s not love!” she said.
Anita also challenged men to avoid relationships with women who are unwilling to contribute financially, arguing that financial responsibility should not be expected from only one partner.
She urged women to develop skills and earn their own money, stressing that financial independence could also earn them respect in relationships.
“Ladies, have that dignity for yourself. Use your hand and work!” she said.
Sharing her own experience, Anita said she works as a baker, cook, private chef, makeup artist and model.
“I work! I bake, I cook, private chef, everything. I do makeup, I’m a model. In case you want to talk, I work. I use my hand, I make my money,” she added.
She, however, clarified that accepting financial support from a man was not necessarily wrong, saying a man choosing to give a woman money should not be interpreted negatively.
