Since stepping into the spotlight on The Real Housewives of Lagos, Sophia Momodu has proven that she’s not here to play it safe.
Whether she’s dropping unapologetic takes on wealth, love, and social media or effortlessly gliding past drama (and glowing while at it), Sophia’s words hit hard and get people talking.
From subtly shading her co-stars to redefining the rules of love and money, here are five of her most unfiltered statements so far.
1. “I find that staying out of the way triggers a lot of people… and it makes me glow.”
This easily translates to minding your business as a self-care routine. While some might interpret this as shade towards certain housewives (cough, Dabota?), Sophia’s take on peace and distance is undeniably relatable. After all, nothing shines brighter than undisturbed energy.
2. “As for social media warriors, those people are broke. I’ve never used their opinion to cash a check.”
Shots fired! In an era where online commentary can make or break public figures, Sophia makes it clear how she’s unbothered. After all, Sophia is not new to drama. The statement instantly divided opinions, with some applauding her boss-like mindset, while others accused her of looking down on the very people who fuel social relevance.
3. “I don’t think a broke man will not know what to do with me.”
If there was ever a line that summed up Sophia’s standards, this is it. The message? Financial stability isn’t optional. While some might call it materialistic, Sophia is simply reinforcing the reality that power couples need two power players. Love is sweet, but financial security is sweeter. “When money enters love, it’s sweeter; this is a lyric from one of Davido’s songs”. We see she agrees with him on this.
4. “Love is very much a currency, and you must be very intentional on how you spend it.”
This statement feels like Sophia’s personal philosophy. Love, like money, must be invested wisely. In a world where emotional bankruptcy is real, she’s all about ROI (return on investment) in relationships. And, don’t we all agree?
5. “I feel like love is very overrated.”
A bold take in a society obsessed with romance, but Sophia is known for going against the grain. While some may argue that love is everything, Sophia reminds us that money, independence, and self-worth are just as important, if not more important.
Love her or hate her, Sophia Momodu is shaping up to be the housewife who says what she means and means what she says. Her words spark debate, but they also reflect a mindset of confidence, independence, and strategic living.
Which of these statements do you agree with the most? Let’s discuss it!
