"The pandemic has taught me to be more active online. My online presence has to be stronger than before. I need to make use of my social media platforms such as WhatsApp, Twitter, You-tube and Instagram to push my brand and sell my business."

"Somebody once said to me that if you want to be a multi-billionaire, you have to have different sources of income. You cannot rely on one source of income. I like money and obviously, I want to be a multi-millionaire. I know I cannot rely on one source of income. That’s why I try to do something else aside acting."

"It’s heartbreaking to realise that with all the societal advancements, a reasonable segment of our society which constitutes over 8 million disadvantaged widows and 24 million children below age 17 are still subject to maltreatment that includes domestic violence, sexual assault, conversion of properties, forced evictions, neglects, denial of human rights and the list goes on. I stand with widows today, will you join me?"

"Let us protect the rights of widows and women. I believe no woman deserves to be maltreated regardless of the circumstances life throws at her. One million pledges are needed to present the “Abolish widows’ maltreatment in Edo State bill” to the Edo State House of Assembly."

"How on earth would you make a mockery of someone’s agonizing pain! How? Only a wicked soul would do that!! Yomi Fabiyi, just that particular scene I saw of your movie is insensitive, utterly distasteful, and disgusting!"

"One of the strongest women I know!!! She has been through fire! But through it all, she is still standing tall … I know everyone has a story, but one day I will bare it all and share my story, trust me you all don’t have an idea."

"Do not let your situation define you! Do not let your condition limit you! Rise above it just like I rose above every situation that wanted to crush me and I chose to be a victor! An amazon , mercified!"

"What drives me is the urge to succeed. I always want to be successful with whatever I do. I also have passion for acting and fashion, which are the things I do. People who follow me on social media can attest to the fact that I’m a very trendy person. Apart from acting, I have other streams of income. I am not a lazy person and I believe that I have not even achieved half of my dreams."

"I am not saying that old actors should not be used anymore, but more opportunities should be given to up-and-coming talented actor."

"If one is happy, whether one is a creative person or not, it impacts everything that one does."
