Why Faking Class And Standards Would Not Attract Real Value
You cannot fake class; you cannot fake standards. If you don’t have it, you don’t have it. This will be a long read as I’ll be sharing a personal story.
Towards the middle of last year, I was on the phone with my man, and our conversation drifted because I mentioned wanting some time off, a break to rest, get a massage, sleep, eat, and play, even if it was just for two days. He expressed a similar desire. So, he came up with the idea of a staycation at one of the five-star hotels in Nigeria. We traveled and stayed there for five days, and I noticed something every time we went to the hotel restaurant for breakfast or dinner.
Often, I come across TikTok videos of women advising other women on where to go when they want to meet rich, high-value men, and other similar topics. The majority of these women giving these classes aren’t married to any high-networth men; they often come off as hustlers, in my opinion, each time I watch their videos. The women we know who are truly married to high-net-worth men aren’t on the internet teaching these things. I do not disagree that location can determine a lot, but I believe that location alone is not enough.
On the very first day we arrived at the hotel, I noticed many women by the poolside in the evening, flaunting their large backsides and chests. They were either playing in the water or lounging by the pool, and I could sense the hustling spirit in the air. There were also many men, of different races, chilling by the pool. These women were scantily dressed, moving their bodies in a very rhythmic manner. Some were being very intentional and deliberate by bending low and putting their bodies on display for the men. My man whispered in my ear, “These women are hustling hard. You better hold me tight before they snatch me.” We both laughed at his Why Faking Class And Standards Would Not Attract Real Value joke, and a few minutes later, he suggested we go back to our room.
The next morning, when it was time for breakfast, we entered the restaurant, and a lady walked in wearing just panties and a top. When I say panties, I mean they were so revealing that you could see all the corners of her buttocks and thighs. An elderly woman sitting not too far from us cringed when she saw the lady walk in. My man and I exchanged glances and then immediately focused on our food. The lady didn’t sit down; she intentionally dropped her room key so she could bend and show her inner thighs to my man, as her butt was directed toward us. She began shaking her large buttocks in front of us. She stood up and did the same thing in a different direction. I noticed a white man at the other end looking at her through his glasses with disgust. She kept going to the buffet every two minutes to get more food, not because she needed it, but because it gave her another chance to shake her butt in everyone’s face. You could literally feel the side talks and disgust from the guests to the waiters. She even raised her leg at one point, gave her butt a loud spank, and drew the attention of everyone in the restaurant.
At this point, my man hissed, and the elderly woman beside us said, “The hustle is real.” She looked at us, and I nodded in agreement because all the men in the hall that day were clearly disgusted by her behavior. Eventually, she left the restaurant when no man approached her, leaving all the food she had taken from the buffet, what a waste.
That very moment, my mind went back to all these women who teach such things on the internet. Yes, it is true that men of high caliber lodge and stay in certain placthey became successful and rooted by luck? It’s not about putting on a facade; it’s about becoming a woman of substance who naturally draws the right kind of partner. A woman of substance is confident, independent, and deeply rooted in her values and principles. They tell you to dress well, get a good hairstyle, carry nice bags, sit a certain way, talk a certain way, and walk seductively, but all of these are superficial aspects of what makes a woman a person of substance and value. There’s much more to being a woman of substance. Stop raising your standards when you haven’t invested in the things that make you a whole person. Becoming a woman of substance is a journey of self-discovery, growth, and continuous improvement. It’s about building a life that reflects your values and nurturing qualities that go beyond the surface. A high-value man is naturally drawn to a woman who knows her worth, embodies integrity, and lives with purpose. By focusing on becoming the best version of yourself, you won’t have to sit in hotel restaurants and lounges to hawk your body. By focusing on living with purpose and being a person of great value to many, you’ll attract not just a high-value man but the right kind of love and relationship that aligns with who you are at your core. A person of value is never hidden, it’s like sugar; ants will come, and you’ll have the power and choice to decide who to do life with because not all high earning men are high value men but a high value man will possess much more than money. Stop looking for a rich man, stop listening to podcasts on how to catch a wealthy man, and stop hustling for “rich love.” These things are not scarce; they’re only scarce to you because you haven’t done the work that can draw these men to your light. Focus on shining your light and kings will come to the brightness of it. es, but wisdom tells you that they don’t deal with women who have nothing to lose. Even if a man does approach you with such a provocative attitude, it’s likely not for a long-term relationship but to satisfy a fleeting fantasy.
To get the best out of everything, you have to quit the hustling spirit that fuels your desperate approach.
Yes, they tell you where to meet high-value men, but you forget that it’s not just about meeting them, it’s about how to attract them, and it’s not just about attracting them, but about retaining them. If you’re looking for “Yahoo boys” who are loud and flashy with their money, maybe that approach will work. But the actual 1% of the 1%, who are excelling in their industries in this country, aren’t attracted to desperate women, nor are they attracted to women with low standards and intelligence.
Listen to me, I know we always tell you to know your worth and raise your standards, but standards must be backed by substance and value. True high standards are rooted in self-respect, which many of these ladies lack, personal development, which they don’t have, and a commitment to growth. No matter how beautiful you are or how much you try to fake it, there are some men you simply cannot attract even with your BBL and provocative body language. The woman I’m writing about was a very pretty lady with spotless skin, but her rotten behavior and low self-regard repelled the very type of men she wanted. I mean, you saw me sitting right in front of a man, and you’re busy shaking your butt at him. Hustle yen lagbara.
Let me tell you the truth, a low-value woman cannot attract a high-value man. Don’t be deceived by Nollywood movies. Even if you sit in all the lounges and restaurants of the five-star hotels in the world, attracting a high-value man isn’t about playing games because these men are rule players in any sector they belong to. You think they became successful and rooted by luck? It’s not about putting on a facade; it’s about becoming a woman of substance who naturally draws the right kind of partner. A woman of substance is confident, independent, and deeply rooted in her values and principles.

North Korea To Reopen To International Tourists After Five-Year Hiatus
North Korea is set to welcome back international tourists by the end of the year, according to travel agencies, but experts warn that the long-awaited opening up could be hindered by political tensions and harsh winters. The country sealed its borders and banned international visitors in early 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic, but now plans to reopen to tourists, starting with the city of Samjiyon, near the Chinese border.
The apparent decision to lower the drawbridge has been welcomed by tour companies, but some North Korea watchers say plans to resume tourism after almost five years of pandemic-enforced isolation are fraught with problems. North Korean state media have yet to comment on the reported opening up, although Kim Jong-un has taken a personal interest in developing the tourism infrastructure and spoken of his desire to welcome visitors from “friendly” nations, China and Russia.
The official motivation has changed little since the North banned foreign tourists in 2020 – namely, to showcase a modern, content country centered on unwavering public devotion to three generations of the Kim dynasty. The first visitors are expected to be confined to Samjiyon, described by North Korea as a “socialist utopia” and “a model of highly civilized mountain city”. The destination, which reportedly boasts new apartments, hotels, and a ski resort, is a gateway to Mount Paektu, the highest peak on the peninsula and considered the mythical birthplace of a united Korean people – a place of pilgrimage that supports the cult of personality surrounding the family that has ruled with an iron fist since the country’s foundation in 1948.
Koryo Tours, which was forced to put visits on hold at the start of the pandemic, welcomed the reported resumption of tourism, adding that the move would probably extend to the rest of the country. “Having waited for over four years to make this announcement, Koryo Tours is very excited for the opening of North Korean tourism once again,” the Beijing-based firm said on its website, adding that its local partner would confirm itineraries and dates in coming weeks.
A second travel agency, Shenyang-based KTG Tours, also announced that tourists would be able to visit Samjiyon from this winter. But some experts said the plans could fall foul of the harsh weather that grips the remote Samjiyon area in winter, along with poor local infrastructure and, for Westerners, a reluctance to travel to a country that has become more aggressive in recent years.
“I can’t see how Samjiyon, being one of the more isolated tourist destinations within the DPRK, would be the first for the Koreans to try and open for the broader tourism market,” Rowan Beard, the manager of Young Pioneer Tours, told the NK News website, using the country’s official name, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.
Travel industry officials said they expected the first wave of tourism to be dominated by Chinese nationals and, in light of Kim’s recent meetings with Vladimir Putin, people from Russia. “I suspect that the powers that be in Pyongyang believe it’s time to open the borders like all other ‘normal’ nations have since the pandemic ended,” said Prof Dean J Ouellette, an expert in North Korean tourism at the Institute for Far Eastern Studies at Kyungnam University. “That means opening up to international tourists, whether or not many decide to go, or are allowed by their governments to visit, or are even allowed entry by North Korean authorities because of their nationality.”
China is by far the most important market, with Chinese nationals making up about 90% of tourists to North Korea before Covid-19. Experts say a record 300,000 foreign tourists visited North Korea in 2019, earning the country between $90m and $150m. While the North is far from dependent on tourism for foreign currency, the injection of cash could boost its coffers.
“If there is a return to the heyday of Chinese tourist arrivals … North Korea could possibly earn an $100m to $175m,” Ouellette said. “For a heavily sanctioned and self-isolating economy like North Korea, that is not an insignificant amount.” But Chinese leaders have voiced reservations about North Korea’s supply of weapons to Russian forces in Ukraine and are cautiously following Kim’s closer relationship with Putin.

“I don’t think we will see a return to those high tourist numbers until Pyongyang repairs relations with Beijing,” Ouellette said. Tourism to the North was strictly limited before the pandemic, with tour companies saying about 5,000 western tourists visited each year. Americans made up about 20% percent of the market before the US banned its citizens from going there as tourists after the 2017 death of the university student Otto Warmbier.
Cockerell said much had yet to be decided about itineraries, but that tourists would continue to be closely watched. “The main system remains unchanged, with guided tours only and no

Women’s Rights Activists Face Execution Amid Surge In State-Sanctioned Killings In Iran
Fears are growing for the lives of women’s rights activists imprisoned in Iran, following a surge in executions since the election of President Masoud Pezeshkian in July. At least 87 people were executed in July, with another 29 meeting their fate on a single day this month.
The mass executions included Reza Rasaei, a young man sentenced to death for participating in the Woman, Life, Freedom protests. Human rights organizations now fear further executions in the lead-up to the second anniversary of Mahsa Amini’s death in custody, which sparked unprecedented nationwide protests.
About 70 women are currently held as political prisoners in Iran’s notorious Evin prison, including two who have been sentenced to death: journalist Pakhshan Azizi and women’s rights activist Sharifeh Mohammadi. Two more activists, Varisheh Moradi and Nasim Gholami Simiyari, face the same charges and await their fate.
The Center for Human Rights in Iran warns that multiple female political prisoners are at risk of execution based on “sham charges”. Executive director Hadi Ghaemi condemned the authorities’ attempts to silence dissent, saying, “Faced with a women’s movement in Iran that refuses to back down, Islamic Republic authorities are now trying to threaten these women with the gallows.”
Nobel peace prize winner Narges Mohammadi was reportedly among those injured during a prison protest against Rasaei’s execution. UN human rights experts have condemned reports that the women were denied access to timely and appropriate healthcare.

Azizi and Mohammadi were sentenced to death in July on charges of “armed rebellion against the state”. Azizi was subjected to torture, including mock executions, while Mohammadi’s family expressed shock at her death sentence.
Former political prisoner Zeinab Bayazidi believes the death penalties are designed to dismantle the unified fight against the regime. “The Islamic Republic is retaliating against the Woman, Life, Freedom revolution,” she said.
As the situation grows increasingly dire, human rights organizations and experts urge the international community to take action and hold Iran’s authorities accountable for their brutal crackdown on women’s rights activists.
