Ivy Ifeoma has encouraged women to focus on personal growth and financial independence rather than making the pursuit of wealthy partners their primary life goal.
In a video shared on social media, Ifeoma advised women to invest in themselves, build successful careers, and become financially stable before seeking relationships. According to her, accomplished and self-sufficient women are more likely to attract quality partners.
She stressed that women should strive to create their own wealth and achievements, viewing a financially successful partner as an added blessing rather than the ultimate objective.
Using her own experience as an example, Ifeoma revealed that she had already achieved financial success before meeting her husband, music star Paul Okoye.
“Before anyone comes for me, I was already a millionaire before I met my husband. I started working and making money while I was in school and continued after graduation,” she said.
She added that financial independence provides women with confidence, security, and peace of mind regardless of whom they eventually marry.
Ifeoma further noted that marrying a wealthy man should not be considered a woman’s greatest achievement, pointing out that the wealth belongs to the man and not necessarily to his spouse. Instead, she encouraged women to seek supportive and generous partners while maintaining their own ambitions.
Previous Social Media Reactions
The influencer has often found herself responding to online criticism. Weeks ago, she reacted to a follower who advised her to always wear her wedding ring. In response, she questioned whether the same expectation was placed on her husband and criticized the suggestion that her ring determined her worth.
Last year, Ifeoma also addressed internet trolls, saying negative comments no longer affect her. She expressed disappointment in people who attack public figures online for attention, entertainment, or financial gain, urging them to reconsider such behavior.
She has also spoken out against unsolicited advice from social media users, asking online critics and self-appointed advisers to refrain from constantly commenting on her personal life.
Since her relationship with Paul Okoye became public, Ifeoma has faced criticism from some online users. She previously admitted that hurtful comments can be difficult to ignore, particularly accusations labeling her a “homewrecker.”
Responding to such claims, Ifeoma maintained that she had no involvement in the breakdown of Paul Okoye’s previous marriage and stated that the singer was single when they began their relationship.
Defending his wife, Paul Okoye argued that many people are eager to assign blame in celebrity divorces and often look for controversy where none exists.
