Nigerian actress and filmmaker Mary Remmy Njoku has addressed women, telling them to prioritise intelligence and growth over physical beauty.
Taking to Instagram on March 14, 2025, the opinionated actress stated that physical beauty is no longer rare, as money can buy enhancements, but intelligence and personal growth remain invaluable.
She wrote, "But here’s the thing: beauty isn’t rare anymore. It’s not a big deal to be beautiful. Anyone with money can alter their looks. What will truly make you stand out is your mind. Develop your brain. Invest in your skills. Build your knowledge. Because while you can buy a new body, you can’t buy a new brain."
She further criticised the growing trend of cosmetic surgeries, particularly Brazilian Butt Lifts (BBL), stating that physical transformations have become widely accessible, and no longer as rare as they used to be.
