Eritomi Joel, the 2nd runner-up and the best-behaved model at the Most Beautiful Girl in Badagry 2025 (MBGB), has called on ladies to raise their bar of good behaviour as she shares how she emerged as the best-behaved model.
In an interview with News Peddlers correspondent, she said despite the fact that good behaviour is good, it's not easy to practice it takes dedication and determination.
In Eritomi's words, "Have you ever noticed how good behaviour can completely transform your life and relationships? It's like a superpower that earns you respect, builds confidence, and attracts positivity.
But, let's get real. Behaving well isn't always easy. There are days when you feel like throwing tantrums, days when you want to give up, and days when you just want to eat an entire pizza by yourself (no judgement, though!).
Despite the challenges, good behavior is worth it. In this piece, we'll explore the importance of good behavior, its benefits, and some practical tips to help you raise the bar.
Benefits of Good Behaviour: Good behaviour is like a magnet that attracts all things good. Here are just a few benefits: When you behave well, you earn respect from others. It's like having a superpower that makes people take you seriously. Good behavior boosts your confidence. You feel more self-assured, empowered, and prepared to take on the world.
Behaving well fosters positive relationships. You attract people who appreciate your kindness, empathy, and compassion.
I'd like to share a personal experience that illustrates the power of good behavior. I was once a contestant in the "Most Beautiful Girl in Badagry" pageantry. Throughout the competition, I made a conscious effort to exhibit good behaviour towards my colleagues, despite the challenges I faced.
Some of my colleagues and even a few organisers would try to frustrate me and get under my skin. But I refused to let their negativity bring me down. Instead, I focused on being my best self and making myself proud.
I believe that life shows us how we want to be treated, and it's up to us to treat others with kindness and respect. As a quiet person, I've learnt that tone and manner of speaking really matter. If someone speaks to me in a disrespectful tone, I simply remain calm, quiet, and composed, looking at them as if they're not speaking to me.
My good behaviour didn't go unnoticed. I was awarded the "Best Behaved Model" of the pageantry, which was an incredible feeling.
Tips for Good Behaviour:
Now that we've covered the benefits, here are some practical tips to help you behave well:
Practice Self-Awareness: Understand your thoughts, feelings, and actions. Take time to reflect on your values, strengths, and weaknesses.
Establish healthy boundaries to maintain positive relationships and prioritise your needs. Treat others with kindness, empathy, and compassion. Practice active listening, ask open-ended questions, and show genuine interest in others.
Good behaviour is a choice, ladies. It's a choice to raise the bar, to earn respect, and to attract positivity. Remember, behaving well isn't about being perfect; it's about being authentic, empathetic, and compassionate. So, go ahead and make the choice to behave well. Your relationships, confidence, and overall well-being will thank you
