The Power of a Woman – when Sheila Slayed!

Recognising the strong, sassy women in MTV Shuga

MTV Shuga Naija 2 showed us the true power of a woman in many different ways. From the go-getting school girl, to the handles-her-business, woman. There are many ways to draw inspiration from these badass ladies!

We’re going take a look at three MTV Shuga women in particular, who showed a quiet power throughout. Being a pillar of strength and support to the people in their lives but also making sure their voice was heard. Let’s start with the Sheila.

Sheila
Sheila’s presence was felt when she entered our screens on the first episode of Shuga Naija 2. Literally turning heads as she strut through the club. We came to realise she was Femi’s new bae and it could have been easy to view her as just a pretty girlfriend, but Sheila proved to be much more than that.

She was fierce when she needed to be — cutting Tobi down to size when he thought he could meddle in her business — yet she still kept it classy.

She remained strong, yet defiant when her family tried to separate her and Femi. Not running from her beau because of family threats, but choosing to stand by her man and educate her family in the process.

It takes a bold woman to say no to her family, especially an African family at that.

But Sheila is not one to tolerate discrimination. Sheila showed through her support of Femi and outspoken approach, she was able to inspire change in those close to her, as well as strangers.

The way to make changes in the world is not just what you can do for yourself, but how you can positively influence others.
