Popular Ghanaian gospel musician has urged young women to prioritize financial independence and personal development before entering marriage, stressing that self-reliance is key to building a strong foundation for a successful and fulfilling life.
Speaking at a recent youth empowerment event in Accra, the gospel artist encouraged women to focus on their education, careers, and entrepreneurial skills before committing to a marital relationship. “It is important for young women to work hard, develop their talents, and secure financial stability before marriage,” she said. “Independence gives you confidence, respect, and the ability to make informed decisions in life and relationships.”
The musician highlighted that relying solely on a spouse for financial security can create dependency and limit personal growth. She urged young women to see themselves as capable individuals who can thrive both professionally and personally, regardless of their marital status.
“Marriage should be a partnership of equals,” she added. “When a woman is financially and emotionally independent, she contributes meaningfully to her family, supports her dreams, and sets a positive example for the next generation.”
Industry observers and social commentators have praised the message, noting that it aligns with ongoing conversations about women’s empowerment, financial literacy, and career development in Ghana. Programs that encourage young women to pursue higher education, start businesses, or acquire professional skills are increasingly recognized as crucial steps toward national development and social progress.
The gospel musician also encouraged young women to balance ambition with faith and character development. She noted that success in life is not just about financial stability but also about nurturing strong moral values, resilience, and a sense of purpose.
With her message, the gospel artist hopes to inspire young women across Ghana to embrace self-reliance, education, and career growth, ensuring they are prepared to thrive independently and make meaningful contributions in their personal and professional lives.
