Summary

Nigerian actress Jemima Osunde urged women to pursue their own careers and financial independence rather than aspiring to be housewives. She stated that the idea of being financially supported in today's economy is unrealistic, stating that there are not enough wealthy men to support all women financially.

Popular Nigerian actress Jemima Osunde urged women to pursue their own careers and financial independence on August 22, 2025. She addressed the belief that women should be supported financially without the need to work, stating that women can equally earn their own money.

“Wetin do your own ass? You don’t want to work? In this economy?” Jemima said.

She also argued that it is not a realistic option for the majority of women today to rely on men for financial support, especially in a society where only a few men are wealthy.

“There aren’t enough billionaires in the world for all of us to be housewives,” she added. “You’d better go and look for work.”

This stance resonated with many, including feminists like @ulxma, who pointed out that even the Bible’s Proverbs 31 depicts women as industrious entrepreneurs and managers.
