The Single Lady has been charged to escape depression by investing hugely in self-discovery, personal development and entrepreneurship.
Disclosing this at the Single Ladies Conference held in Port Harcourt themed THE VISION, convener of the conference and Plus TV Africa reporter, Mary Chinda, observed that the single lady is vulnerable to frustration when she loses her vision and sense of purpose, and likely to make wrong choices in her career and marriage.
She noted that, the increase in suicide, especially, of single ladies is due to lack of direction, purpose, and vision, adding that hopes are dashed easily when one is blind to purpose in life and becomes a victim of social media pressure.
US based media personality, spiritual and wellness coach, Tina Amadi, who spoke on “the Single Lady and the Waiting Season”, charged ladies to apply intelligent discernment while in the dating season, exercise patience while in their waiting season and realise that the man will always be the head of the home in the marriage.
She insisted that personal development is vital to wholeness for the singles.
Inspiring brand strategist, Emily Wale-Koya, who handled the entrepreneurship beat of the conference, entreated the singles to not forget to add personal branding to their life skills in order to hit their financial targets.
Responding on behalf of participants, Rivers State University Students Union Government Vice President, Nweke Ruth Chika described the conference as an eye opener in an era where depression and social pressure was making promising single ladies take-up life endangering decisions.
She thanked the organisers of the conference for the impact created, while hoping for more.
