Influencer and fashion entrepreneur Laura Ikeji-Kanu has argued that many non-working girls live better and earn more than hardworking women simply because they are beautiful.
In a video on Instagram, Laura expressed concerns about how society seems to reward beauty over genuine hard work.
She noted that girls who don’t work often get more financial rewards and attention than those who put in real effort to build a career or business.
According to her:
“We are in a country where girls who do not work earn more than girls who work hard, all because they are beautiful. Girls who are fine make so much money”.
Laura encouraged people to support hardworking girls, saying,
“Please, if you see any hard working girls, always try to support them, no matter what.”
The statement has received mixed reactions, with some praising Laura for speaking the truth and others arguing that beauty and influence have become new forms of work in the digital age.
