HOW TO BECOME MORE CLASSY AND INTELLIGENT AS A WOMAN


Being classy is not about bleaching your skin, wearing designer bags, or speaking through your nose.

And intelligence? It’s not about speaking big grammar and forming British accent.

If you want to truly be a classy and intelligent woman, start here,

1. Read, sis.

I’m not saying become a professor overnight.

But carry books. Read. Listen to podcasts.

Watch YouTube videos that feed your brain, not just celebrity gossips.

2. Speak with sense.

You don’t have to talk all the time. But when you do, let people feel your wisdom.

Speak gently. Speak with respect. Speak to add value, not to scatter everywhere.

3. Dress like you respect yourself.

You don’t need a wardrobe full of clothes.

Just know how to package yourself with confidence, decency, and class.

4. Maturity in how you handle things.

Not everything requires quarrels. Not every insult deserves a reply.

Sometimes, your silence is the loudest clapback.

5. Improve your mindset.
The way you think affects how you act. Stop thinking small.

Stop seeing yourself as a victim. You’re a woman with power. Think big. Think wise.

6. Don’t move with noise makers.
Classy women are intentional about their company.

Hang around women who lift your standards, not those who drag you into drama every day.


7. Pray and glow differently.

Spiritual depth gives you peace that shows in your walk, your talk, and your decisions.

Real elegance comes from the inside out.HOW TO BECOME MORE CLASSY AND INTELLIGENT AS A WOMAN

“If Mercy Johnson didn’t give me that chance, you might never have known my name.”

I was new, struggling, and almost gave up on acting. I had talent, but no one was looking my way — until Mercy Johnson saw me.

She didn’t just talk; she gave me a role that changed my whole story. She believed in me when I had nothing but hope.

Today, people call me a star. But I know where it started. I will always respect her for that one chance that opened many doors.”

– Queen Nwokoye

Hi! This will be long because it's a complicated issue with a backstory.

My husband who has a squalor/hoarding issue, from what I suspect is undiagnosed and untreated ADHD, wants another dog from a litter his dog sired and will be ready in 2 weeks. We have 2 dogs already plus a cat, and one of the dogs was a dog he brought home years ago even though I said no.
Months ago I put up a boundary that I would need to see everything that he has trashed fully cleaned up and to maintain its cleanliness for 3 months, as that would show me that it is a truly changed habit, then we could talk about another dog.
He did not get everything cleaned. He continued to put it off. Earlier this year he bred his dog as he is a hunting breed. Last month the puppies were born, and he brought it up again (wanting one of the puppies) - I reiterated what I needed to see, and he asked me "What if I get it done this week, would a month be long enough?" I told him no, that three months minimum would show me that he can actually maintain it. He got upset but I feel like this is a fair boundary. He had our home disgusting, truly disgusting and in squalor, for at least 5 years, with no way for me to keep up with it and each time he would start to clean it, it would go back in a week or two. I can post pictures in the comments but only if asked, if that is needed for context.

Anyways, two days ago he brings it up again. He told me he got everything done - which he did - and said that he feels much better mentally now that it was no longer weighing on him. He said he "knows" he can maintain things now that he has it all cleaned up. He said it will be easier now because he feels "so much better mentally." He told me that he never got back to the person who has the puppies and asked if I would reconsider now that everything is done. He told me "I need to get back to her about it within the next couple days."

I don't know what to do. I feel like if I say no, I am in the wrong.

Any advice?? Thanks.

At a university, a professor asked his students: "If there are four birds on a tree and three of them decided to fly away, how many are left on the tree?"

Everyone answered, "One."

They were surprised when one student disagreed and said, "Four birds remain." This caught everyone's attention.

Boniface ose

The professor asked him: "How so?"

He replied: "You said they decided to fly, but you didn't say they actually flew. Making a decision doesn't mean taking action."

And indeed, that was the correct answer.

This story reflects the lives of some people — they have many slogans and catchy words, and they shine in gatherings and among friends, but in reality, their lives don’t reflect those words.

Many people talk, but only a few act..!

Making a (decision) is one thing...

Taking (action) is something else entirely.

Most women complain of sexual dissatisfaction but the question you should be asking yourself is: Are you playing your part as a woman? Do you know the things that turn your man on? Do you know that a man needs to be caressed and complimented in order to feel like making love to you?

May You Try This It May Help:

1. Be romantic, playful, and spontaneous. Touch your man play with his body flirt with him on the phone compliment him always tell him you love him send him dirty suggestive messages.


2. Please do not be afraid: Ashamed or irritated to take him into your mouth it's exciting once you get the hang of it.

3. Allow him unlimited access to your body: Allow him to go down on you. Do not hide your sensitive areas: surely why do hide your breasts ears and womanhood then claim he can't turn me on.

4. Show him you like sex too: It kills a man's ego when he struggles to get it by the time he starts doing it he will be tired from wrestling with you and talking to you to convince you to have it please please if you can convince your man that you also like it and enjoy it it's very important.

Your man thrives to bring you the latest album of your favorite musician which will stop him from bringing you a new style of sex if he knows you like it.

5. Respond to his lovemaking: Do not lie there like you are dead run your hands on his back and spread out those legs for him and move up to meet him, moan and groan, hiss like a snake.

6. If he hits the right spot say it and show it: Urge him on and hold him tight there, speak in tongues.

7. Suggest positions: And fully participate in your favorite position do not be afraid to go on top.

8. Satisfy him first he will eventually satisfy you: Make him happy and allow him to enjoy you he will return the compliment.

9. Do everything he likes and enjoy pleasing him: You think most men leave you because they got what they wanted: No they would have discovered that you are not enjoying what they are offering you so enjoy what is offered first!

HOW TO TALK TO YOUR MAN ABOUT A SENSITIVE ISSUE

We sometimes complain that the men don't want to talk or listen. Here's some things that could help..

WATCH YOUR TONE
When upset or frustrated, your tone could easily become sharp, harsh, condescending and full of coldness. A man doesn't like engaging anyone with such a tone. Approach him with peace and the issue will be resolved in peace

TIMING
Straight after work is not the time for a deep talk. One is mentally and physically tired. Let him relax first, put his feet up and approach the subject at a good time

WATCH YOUR EYES
Men get repelled by condescending and mean eyes. I'm sure you would too

DON'T ENGAGE HIM WHEN HE IS DRUNK
If your man is they type that gets intoxicated, don't bother yourself to talk serious issues. Wait till he is sober to have a meaningful talk

DON'T CONFRONT HIM IN FRONT OF YOUR CHILD(REN)
Infront of the kids be cordial, smile, show unity and when it's just you and him, then talk about the issue

DON'T ACCUSE HIM FALSELY
Some women do this. However, this is the easiest way to make him feel attacked and to break the delicate fabric of trust between you two. Before you jump into conclusions, ask him questions politely. Talk with facts. Don't interrogate, politely ask.

DON'T CAUSE A SCENE
A man loses respect for a woman who causes a scene in public or in front of family or friends

SOOTHE HIM
If you want to introduce a topic that has been bothering you, hold on to it. Prepare him his favourite meal, do things that make him feel good. While he is in a good mood, lovingly introduce the issue for discussion

BE IN CONTROL OF YOUR EMOTIONS
If the issue is heavy, be prepared for a conversation that will be heavy on your heart but remain calm and collected. Being frantic and delirious will not aid your cause.

NO INSULTS
Watch your tongue. Keep calm. Insulting him or parading his weaknesses and past mistakes will complicate things. You need him to know you are on the same team

DON'T INTRODUCE OTHER PEOPLE'S OPINIONS
Don't tell him things like 'Even my mum thinks you should...', 'My friend Kajwang who is a man thinks we should...", "Zamira says her husband..." Don't show him you talk about your personal issues with outsiders. Don't show him you value other people's opinion more than his. Don't show him your motivation is based on comparing you two with other couples

BOOST HIS EGO A TAD ;)
Appreciate him more than you criticize him. If you want a man to grow in doing good, praise him for the good he does big and small. When you make him feel like a hero each time he pleases you, he will love pleasing you and will listen moreBest gifts for your loved ones

DON'T BOY HIM
Don't talk down at him. He should never feel disrespected by the woman he has committed to. He hates it when you baby-sit him

DON'T TALK AT HIM
Talk with him. Give him time to speak, don't run your mouth. It should be a two way conversation, not an order

TALK AFTER MAKING LOVE
You can choose to talk about the issue after making love. At that time, both of you are feeling most in love. Talk intimately and peacefully about the issue, he is so receptive to all you say at that timeBest gifts for your loved ones

TAKE HIM ON A DATE
Or you can take him to a place outside home where he will be more conscious of his demeanour in public. An outside setting also breaks the monotony of home. Talk about the issue over a date

DON'T MAKE HIM FEEL UNEASY
Men get unsettled by the words 'We need to talk'. Ease off the pressure by not putting him on the hot seat

DON'T PUSH HIM
Don't pressure him to conclude the issue. If he needs time to think through what you have talked with him about, give him time. Sometimes a man needs to arrange his thoughts in his "me" time. You have had ample time to think about the issue, probably more time than him

BE FLEXIBLE
Perhaps after you talk, he might not see things your way or the outcome may not be as you anticipated. Don't have a fixed mind, you two have to come to a joint agreement. Some times also you will need to exercise patience

Important things to remember when you are married or in a serious relationship...✍🏽

Don’t ever assume your partner feels loved.

Date nights are a must.
Doesn’t matter if you go out, or stay in.

Talking openly about what you want to change in your relationship is important.

Learn each others love language. Best gifts for your loved ones
We all don’t perceive love the same way.

Go to bed mad sometimes.
Don’t force a resolution.
Sleeping on it does help.

It’s normal.
It will fade.

Some days you will have to pull more weight than your partner, and vice versa.

It’s important to check in on each other’s mental health.

It’s okay to go to couples counselling.
It helps.
It doesn’t mean you two are ending, or failing.

Talk about money.
Talk about your financial goals.
Let your partner know what you expect from them, and vice versa.

“What do you need to see more of from me?”
“How can we understand each other better?”

Title: My Arranged Marriage
Episode 1: The Day My Bride Brought Her Ex to Our Wedding

I always knew my family was chaotic, but I didn’t know they were diabolical until the day I walked into my own wedding and nearly fainted. Not because of cold feet — but because the bride, the woman I was supposed to marry, was sitting on the stage laughing with her ex-boyfriend, whom she brought along like a plus-one.

Yes, her ex. To our wedding.

Let me start from the beginning.

It began two months ago when Mama burst into my room like a hurricane dressed in Ankara and holy anointing.
"Obinna, your bachelorhood is a spiritual attack!"
She clutched her Bible and her phone, scrolling through WhatsApp pictures of potential wives like it was Tinder for African mothers.

I was 29, a civil engineer in Lagos, and deeply single—not because I couldn't find love, but because the last girl I loved used my rent money to buy a Brazilian wig and disappeared with a sugar daddy who sold building materials.

So, when Mama insisted on arranging a marriage, I laughed. Until Papa added his voice.
“If you don’t marry before July, forget your inheritance. We will donate your land to the church!”

July was two months away.

That was how I met Amaka.
Photos first. Then video calls. She was pretty. Soft-spoken. From Enugu. A nurse. And, according to her mother, a virgin. (My cousin Ugochi whispered, “Aunty, check that thing well. These days, even calculators reset.”)

I agreed to meet her. She smiled, giggled, and spoke gently. But something felt... rehearsed. Like she was playing a role.

Still, the wedding date was fixed. Invitations printed. Cow bought. Church booked. DJ paid. Mama danced every night to Flavour’s songs as if the wedding was her own.

And then the big day came.

The hall glittered with decorations. Guests arrived in gele and agbada. My friends teased me “Obinna, you go finally chop life!”

Then I saw her. Amaka. Dressed in white. Gorgeous. Smiling. Until I noticed the man sitting beside her, whispering in her ear and holding her hand.

I frowned.
“Who is that?” I asked my brother.

My brother squinted. “I think he came with the bride.”

“Came with the"

Before I could finish, Mama appeared beside me, all smiles and sweat. “You look handsome, my son. Now go and smile at your bride.”

“I will smile after I know who that guy is.”

Mama hissed and walked off.

So, I marched up to Amaka, heart racing. “Who is this?”

She blinked, calm. “Oh! Meet Chuka. My best friend. He’s like… family.”

Chuka stood, extended his hand, smiling like a goat that just chewed your exam script. “Nice to meet you, bro.”

Bro?

I ignored his hand. “Can we talk privately?”

Amaka sighed, dragged me aside, and said the thing that nearly made me remove my agbada and run home in boxers.

“I invited him because... well... he’s important to me. We dated for six years. He’s the one who taught me how to love. But my parents didn’t approve. So I had to settle for this... arrangement.”

I stood still, blinking.
“Settle?”

“Yes,” she said. “But you’re kind. You’ll understand.”

Ladies and gentlemen, I did not understand.

My uncle, who saw me shaking like a leaf, whispered, “Is it heartbreak or hunger? Should we bring you small jollof rice to calm your nerves?”

I wanted to run, but the hall was full, the gifts were stacked, and the caterers were serving. A pastor was waiting. A crowd was watching.

Then I remembered what my grandmother once said:
“If you must embarrass the devil, do it with boldness.”

So, I climbed the stage, grabbed the mic, and said:
“Ladies and gentlemen, I want to thank you all for coming. But I just found out that I am not the main actor in this wedding. I am an extra.”

Gasps.

Chuka choked on his zobo. Amaka’s face turned pale. Mama tried to grab the mic, but I raised my hand dramatically.

“This wedding is cancelled. But don’t worry there’s plenty of food. Eat, drink, and take selfies. Just know that Obinna has left the chat!”

I walked out, head high, heart free. That night, I ate the wedding jollof alone in my boxers and watched Nollywood movies till 2 a.m.

A week later, I met Adaeze, my neighbor who had always lent me pepper without asking for it back. She knocked on my door with a plate of hot rice and a smile.

And guess what?
