Dayo Amusa, a Nollywood actress, has delivered a profound lesson about being single and independent.
The movie star, who maintains a low profile in her love life, claimed that she is independent now because she accepts responsibility for her actions and doesn’t assign blame to others or use them as a scapegoat for her mistakes. She declared that she doesn’t let her religion or culture define who she is.
According to her, just because she is a woman doesn’t mean she is less than a man and her skin color doesn’t make her any less beautiful. Dayo made it known that she is empowered to choose her companions, beliefs, system, and standards based on what she feels is right for her.
She noted how she can stand on her own if need be, but she doesn’t boast about it or make others feel small just because they can’t be independent.
Dayo, however, made it known that her being independent doesn’t mean she doesn’t need love, nor does she like going home alone, hates men, or can’t submit. She added that she wants to be cared for, and pampered by her partner and desires to have doors opened for her and to be treated to dinner, be protected and covered.
“I am independent because I take responsibility for my life. I refuse to play the blame game on anyone or make other people scapegoats for my failures. I do not allow the culture or religion to define me. Just because I am a woman doesn’t mean I am less than a man. Just because my skin may be darker or lighter than someone else’s doesn’t make me any less beautiful.
I am empowered to choose my companions, belief system & standards, based on what I feel is right for me. I can stand on my own if need be, but I do not boast about it or make others feel small just because they can’t.
Being independent doesn’t mean I do not need love. It doesn’t mean I like going home alone. It doesn’t mean I hate men or that I won’t submit. It doesn’t mean I will stop being feminine, sexy & ladylike. I still want to be cared for & pampered by my partner.
I desire to have doors opened & be treated to dinner. I still want to be protected & covered with assurance that everything is going to be okay.
YES, I Love my independence”.
