Ivy Ifeoma, the wife of Nigerian singer Paul Okoye, popularly known as Rudeboy, has advised women to pursue financial success for themselves rather than making marriage to a wealthy man their ultimate goal.

The influencer shared the advice in a social media post, where she encouraged women to invest more time in personal growth, career development and income-generating opportunities. According to her, financial independence can provide stability and confidence that should not depend on a romantic relationship.

Ivy noted that while there is nothing wrong with marrying a successful partner, wealth alone should not be the foundation of a relationship. She stressed that women should strive to create value for themselves and work towards achieving their own financial goals.

Reflecting on her views, she suggested that self-sufficiency places individuals in a stronger position both personally and within relationships. She also emphasised the importance of ambition, hard work and building a future that is not tied solely to another person's success.
