Nollywood actress cum film maker, Shan George has slammed Nigerian entrepreneur Grace Ofure Ibhakhomu for asking young people to stop depending on their parents once they turn 18.
The Businesswoman while appearing on The Honest Bunch Podcast said, “If you are not from a rich home, let a rich home come from you… if you are 18yrs old why are you still staying with your parents?”
When told that 18-year-olds still rely on their parents, she replied, “It is because your father has to pay. What if he does not have to pay? You will now say because your father could not pay your school fees that’s why you are p++r? Nobody cares!!”

She added, “The saying ‘I’m from a p++r background’ ends at 18yrs because from 18 you take responsibility of your life.”
Her remarks have divided opinions online, with many questioning whether financial independence at 18 is realistic in Nigeria’s economy.
Responding, George via the comment section of the post, criticised the idea, questioning the businesswoman on whether she has children above 18 to make such remark.
In her words: “Which Bible talk am? How many above 18 children do you have?”
