Nigerian actress Mary Njoku has advised young women to focus on self-growth and intelligence rather than solely enhancing their physical appearance through cosmetic procedures.

In a thought-provoking Instagram post on Friday, Njoku highlighted how beauty is no longer rare, as modern advancements make it easy for anyone to alter their looks. However, she emphasized that true value lies in personal development, skills, and intelligence.

"Beauty isn’t rare anymore. With money, anyone can change their appearance. But what will truly set you apart is your mind. Invest in your skills, build knowledge, and develop your brain," she stated.

Njoku further explained that while people can buy a new body, the same cannot be done for the brain. She likened Brazilian Butt Lifts (BBL) to a "buy one, get one free" deal, stressing that intelligence cannot be purchased but must be cultivated.

"So, while you're budgeting for a nose job or breast implants, ensure you also invest in personal growth. A BBL without brainpower? That’s a disaster waiting to happen. Substance over surface," she concluded.

Her message serves as a wake-up call, encouraging women to balance beauty with brains, ensuring lasting success beyond physical appearance.
