Nollywood actress and filmmaker Mary Njoku has corrected the narrative that women love being independent.
On her Instagram page, the ROK studios boss said there is no such thing as an independent woman, as independence isn’t a preference, but a response.
Njoku noted that no one wants to live alone, but we become independent when we don’t have dependable people around us.
“There’s really no such thing as an independent woman.
Independence is not a preference; it’s usually a response.
No human truly wants to do life alone.
We become independent when we don’t have Dependable people around us.
So before labelling a woman as “independent” or “overly self-sufficient,” it’s worth asking why. Are you DEPENDABLE? Because when someone shows up CONSISTENTLY, nobody chooses isolation.
Independence is learned in the absence of reliability.
She is strong because she has to be.
Be dependable. And watch her strength soften into trust”.
