♡I've reached the halfway mark in my product management classes, and I'm excited to share my progress!
I've gained a solid understanding of the product manager role, responsibilities, and essential tools.
Some key highlights from my journey so far include:
A thread !!
I built a game where you drive a danfo through Lagos 🚌

Since the last thread, a lot of you asked how doctors actually get into WHO, UNICEF and similar orgs. So I went back to the doctors I spoke to and dug in more. Here's what I found. 🧵

I’ve been seeing everyone talk about the Dangote IPO and because I’m actually considering buying some shares myself, I decided to go and find out what the whole thing is about
How does one even buy it?
How much does one need?
What happens after you pay?
What exactly are you buying?
And is it even worth considering?
I figured I might as well share what I found because maybe someone else is wondering the same thing
I say this with the best of intentions because I genuinely want to see this succeed.
I’m curious, are there other avenues we should also be exploring alongside Change dot org to maximize support and increase the chances of achieving the desired outcome?
I’m asking because I’m not sure how much impact Change dot org petitions have historically had in driving action on issues originating from Africa. If the primary goal here is to document public support and demonstrate public interest, then I think it’s a great approach. I just wondered if there are additional channels that could help move things forward as well.
I want Nigerians to know that this life they're living is odd for most of the world. Even in nations in the middle of a war, things are not this difficult.
So far, this is what we know. (Sorry, this is gonna be a long thread)

Here’s what I’ve learned after making too many shopping mistakes.
Pictures highlighted contains items from Temu
1. Crop Tops (I bought 3 sets)
Instead search:
• Ribbed Cotton
• Cotton-Spandex Blend
• Seamless Crop Top
• Double-Lined Crop Top
• Premium Rib Knit
• Modal Blend
Avoid thin polyester if you don’t want it to become see-through after a few washes.
2. Baby Tees
Search:
• Baby Tee
• 95% Cotton
• Cotton Jersey
• Ribbed Baby Tee
• Stretch Cotton
3. Oversized T-Shirts (tend to be more expensive rn)
Search:
• Heavyweight Cotton
• 240 GSM
• 260 GSM
• Combed Cotton
• Drop Shoulder Tee
Higher GSM usually means the shirt hangs better and feels more premium.
4. Tank Tops
Search:
• Seamless Tank
• Ribbed Tank
• Cotton Blend
• Double Layer Tank
Double-layer tanks usually aren’t see-through.
5. Hair Bands & Headbands (the one I bought was a little bit thin but I know best now)
Search:
• Satin Headband
• Silk Headband
• Padded Headband
• Knot Headband
• Non-slip Headband
Satin is gentler on your hair than rough polyester.
6. Claw Clips
Search:
• Acetate Hair Clip
• Cellulose Acetate
• Large Claw Clip
• Matte Claw Clip
Acetate clips are usually stronger and less likely to snap than cheap plastic ones.
7. Earrings
Search:
• 925 Sterling Silver
• Stainless Steel
• Hypoallergenic
• Gold Vermeil
• PVD Gold Plated
These last much longer than regular fashion jewelry.
8. Necklaces ( they are plenty of 3in1 necklace in this category, avoid it)
Search:
• 316L Stainless Steel
• Titanium Steel
• PVD Gold
• Tarnish Resistant
If the seller doesn’t mention the material, that’s usually not a good sign.
9. Rings ( I bought 15pcs for 4500 and it’s pink now) avoid alloy
Search:
• Stainless Steel
• 18K PVD Gold
• Adjustable Ring
• Cubic Zirconia
• Moissanite (if you want sparkle)
Cheap alloy rings tend to fade quickly.
10. Handbags ( most tend to be made with plastic leather)
Search:
• Vegan Leather
• PU Leather (High Grade)
• Pebbled Leather
• Crossbody Bag
• Gold Hardware
Always check customer photos to see if the bag keeps its shape.
Here’s how I shop now:
• Material first. Pictures second.
• Read the lowest-rated reviews before the highest-rated ones.
• Customer photos > seller photos.
• Check measurements. “Mini bag” sometimes means really mini.
• Buy from listings with lots of orders.
• Don’t trust words like “luxury” or “premium” unless the materials back them up.
• If a listing has videos from buyers, watch those before checking out.

Called @EKEDP to ask why we’ve had no electricity for over 3 days
Their response? “We’re waiting for the cables to dry.”
At this point, living in this country feels like a never ending test of patience. God abeg
