Sarah Martins recounted an encounter with a young woman she almost hired as a sales manager, who revealed her main ambition was to undergo body-enhancement surgery in Turkey, rather than focusing on professional development.
Sarah Martins, who offered her a massive salary, immediately discharged the woman, stating that wisdom is more profitable than physical appearance.
She advised young women that while having a “big nyash” might create opportunities, it takes “wisdom and humility” to sustain them.
Nollywood actress Sarah Martins has publicly condemned the prioritization of physical enhancement over career development after an encounter with a job candidate, stating that the mindset is a detriment to success.
The movie star recounted how she almost hired a young woman for a sales manager role with a significant salary, but reversed the decision after learning about the woman’s primary life ambition.
Martins stated:
“I asked a fine girl where she sees herself in 5 years, and she confidently and arrogantly told me she wishes to go to Turkey 🇹🇷 to redo her body. This is someone I almost hired as my sales manager with a massive monthly salary, omo na once I discharge am.”
Issuing a strong message to ladies about the value of substance over appearance, the actress emphasized that inner qualities are key to sustaining success:
“Wisdom is more profitable than BIG NYASH! But if you’re lucky enough to have both wisdom and a big nyash, then you’re unstoppable! Big nyash will create opportunities, but wisdom and humility will sustain it”.
