In a viral video, Nigerian woman named Bukola Ipinyomi shares her views on financial independence in marriage, stating that she earned more than her husband when they got married and believes in managing her own money rather than pooling it together in a joint account with him.
Bukola explains that before marriage, she decided to marry someone who was ready to work and contribute equally to their finances.
She said;
“We cannot operate joint account because I am a better manager of money than my husband.”
She criticizes women who rely solely on their husbands’ income and give up their own salaries.
Her video has been widely discussed on social media, with some supporting her progressive ideas while others disagree.
Regardless, Bukola stands firm in her belief that women should have financial independence and contribute equally to their family’s prosperity.
