Nigerian entrepreneur and online personality, Adeife, has set social media buzzing after asserting that true feminism lies in financial independence, not mere online activism.
According to Adeife, feminism goes beyond “posting quotes or hashtags” — it’s about having the power of choice, which money often provides.
“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 — and that’s money,” she said.
She further explained that financial dependence keeps many women trapped in toxic relationships, poor jobs, and unhappy lives, urging women to prioritize financial freedom as a tool for empowerment.
Adeife, known for her unapologetic takes on women’s issues, encouraged ladies to work hard, earn, and build wealth, saying money provides the freedom to decide, challenge norms, and live life on your terms.
Her remarks have drawn mixed reactions online. While some hailed her bold stance, others argued that feminism is rooted in equality and rights, not wealth or bank balance.
Whether one agrees or not, Adeife’s statement has reopened a timeless debate — does money define a woman’s power, or is feminism beyond finance?
