Pastor David Ibiyeomie has encouraged young women to develop financial independence rather than relying entirely on men for financial support.
Speaking during a recent teaching, Pastor David Ibiyeomie stated, “Young ladies, stop depending on men to give you money; have a source of income.”
He encouraged women to develop legitimate sources of income and build the capacity to take care of their financial needs. His message highlights the importance of having skills, employment, or a business that can provide financial stability.
The statement has sparked conversations about financial independence among young women, particularly in a society where some women may feel pressured to depend on romantic partners for money.
His remarks also highlight the importance of developing personal capacity before and within relationships. Having one’s own source of income can provide greater financial confidence and reduce unhealthy dependence on a partner.
Pastor Ibiyeomie’s message ultimately encourages young women to pursue financial independence, develop their abilities, and establish a sustainable source of income rather than making men their primary financial support.
