The once frowned  status in Nigeria has become a lifestyle that is now accepted in society. Nigerians, known for their high moral standards now welcome with open arms the idea of living as a single parent while you make your living on a daily. One question we seem to forget to ask ourselves as we are emotionally blinded by the thought of a woman taking up full responsibility is this; HOW DO THEY MAKE A FORTUNE FOR THEMSELVES?

 

 

 

 

Straight to the point. These ladies didn’t just earn the title of rich single mums themselves. They once had men in their lives. Let me rephrase, men are in many ways responsible for this self-acclaimed wealth acquired by these entities. In no particular order, some of the ways include;

 

 

 

DIVORCE: Getting hooked to a very rich dude is one thing but getting a divorce after is another. One of the ways these ladies have made a fortune is from their divorce settlements amongst other goodies they acquired in their marriage. For instance, McKenzie Bezos, former wife to billionaire Jeff Bezos clinched the 3rd position on the list of richest women in the world because of her divorce settlement.

 

 

 

SUGAR DADDY INFLUENCE: You already know what this is about. There’s always this influencer or should I say blesser who regularly fills your bank accounts with heavy cash. Some of these ladies get their wealth from these men who most times are influential. The girls in this category are disciples of the ‘small girl, big god ministry’.

 

 

 

INHERITANCE: This can be seen in 2 ways. Either they’re widows of very rich dead husbands or they were just born with a very big diamond spoon in their mouths. As for the later, there isn’t much to say because daddy and mummy have got their backs. As for the widows, let’s just say, every disappointment is a blessing in disguise.

 

 

 

THE LEGIT HARD WORKERS: Now these ones have got my full respect. Started from the bottom and now they’re at the top. These ladies put their sweat, blood, strength, emotions into generating wealth and have managed to climb up the ladder of success in the long-run
