Ivy Ifeoma, wife of Nigerian singer Paul Okoye popularly known as Rudeboy, has stirred conversation online after sharing her views on relationships, money, and financial independence.

In a video shared on her social media page, Ifeoma advised single women against making it their primary goal to marry a wealthy man.

While she acknowledged that marrying into wealth can open certain doors, she stressed that a woman's focus should be on building her own financial stability.

She also addressed widespread speculation that she married Paul Okoye for his money, partly due to the age gap between them, firmly stating that she was already a millionaire before the two ever met.

"Marrying a rich man should not be anybody's primary goal. Why would you even want to have a primary goal of marrying someone because they are rich? At the end of the day, it is their money, not your money," she said. "Don't get me wrong, marrying rich is a very good add-on because it can open doors of opportunities for you.

But what I will tell you to do as a woman is to get rich."

Ifeoma further noted that wealthy individuals tend to be drawn to ambitious and hardworking women, urging single ladies to invest in themselves rather than channel their energy into seeking a rich partner.
