Yoruba Nollywood actress, Dayo Amusa, has declared that she loves her status as an independent lady, as she continue to takes responsibilty for her life.
The movie star, who keeps her love life private, stated that she is currently independent because she takes responsibility for her life and refuses to play the blame game on anyone or make others her scapegoat for her failures.
She clarified that her independence does not negate her need for love, companionship, or the desire to be cherished and supported by a partner.
She said: “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.”
