@faith_atabo Oya nau, when is it happening??

[Technical Ben @TechnicalBben]

Once you learn how to shop directly from China, E.g Temù or shien your wardrobe changes completely. Call me cheap I don't care I ain't rich, I don't do fraud.😭

It's knowing what to search for.

Here's my style after making plenty of mistakes.

1. T-shirts:

Skip 100% polyester unless you're buying gym wear.

Instead, search:
• 100% Cotton
• Combed Cotton
• Heavyweight Cotton
• 240-300 GSM Cotton
• Premium Cotton
• Mercerized Cotton

The heavier the GSM, the thicker and more premium the shirt usually feels.

2. Jeans:

Denim Jeans
Temu is surprisingly good for denim if you know what to search.

Search:
• Denim Jeans
• Cotton Denim
• Raw Denim
• Selvedge Denim (if available)
• 98% Cotton + 2% Elastane
• 99% Cotton

Avoid jeans with high polyester content. The more cotton, the better they'll age and feel.

3. Body-hug clothing:

Search:
• Ribbed Knit
• Modal
• Viscose Blend
• Cotton-Spandex Blend

They hold their shape much better than cheap polyester.

4. Hoodies
Search:
• 400 GSM
• French Terry
• Cotton Fleece
• Heavyweight Hoodie

5. Chains
Search:
• 316L Stainless Steel
• Titanium Steel
• PVD Gold Plated
• Vacuum Plated

These are far more resistant to fading than ordinary fashion jewelry.

6. Earrings
Search:
• 925 Sterling Silver
• 316L Stainless Steel
• Hypoallergenic
• Moissanite (if you're buying stones)

7. Scarves
Search:
• Mulberry Silk
• Silk Blend
• Cashmere Blend
• Wool Blend
• Viscose

Avoid the shiny, thin polyester scarves if you're after a premium look.

8. Loafers
Search:
• Genuine Leather
• Cow Leather
• Full Grain Leather (rare but worth looking for)
• Rubber Outsole

9. Sneakers
Search:
• Rubber Outsole
• EVA Midsole
• Breathable Mesh
• Leather Upper
• Stitched Sole

Pictures lie a lot

The description usually tells the truth.

Here's how I shop:

1. Read the material composition before anything else.

2. Sort by Most Orders or Best Selling, not cheapest.

3. Only buy products with lots of reviews or pictures or even better when a Nigerian has purchased it before they always tell the truth.

4. Read the 1-star reviews first. They'll tell you what the seller won't.

5. Look at customer photos, not the product photos.

6. Check the weight of the product. Better quality clothing is often heavier.

7. Read the size chart. Don't assume your Nigerian size matches.

8. If the title has words like "luxury," "premium," or "designer" but the material is 100% polyester, not everything but still move on.

Your best friend isn't the product picture.

It's the material, the reviews, and the customer photos.

That's how you separate the gems from the junk.

I hope this help.

Things are to expensive for a country this poor.

It is highly interesting and deeply ironic that Nigeria is currently being paraded as having the "world's best-performing stock market."

To put statistical illusion into clear mathematical perspective, South Korea comfortably has over 200 publicly traded companies with an individual market capitalization exceeding $1 billion USD. In stark contrast, the total number of companies on the Nigerian Stock Exchange with a market cap exceeding that same $1 billion mark sits at a measly, fluctuating 11 to 18. Furthermore, the South Korean Stock Exchange is home to over 2,500 listed companies, whereas the entire Nigerian stock exchange is struggling to maintain even 150. To make matters infinitely worse, the annual revenue of just one single South Korean conglomerate, Samsung, comfortably exceeds the entire, devalued annual Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

So, it is obviously completely insane and deeply delusional to imagine that Nigeria is genuinely outperforming the rest of humanity in its actual economic output, industrial productivity, or stock market indices. Nigeria is currently the undisputed poverty capital of the world, where small businesses are collapsing by the dozens every single day. So that begs the question: what does this glowing market report actually mean for the ordinary people of Nigeria?

Well, for one, if a struggling, debt-ridden developing nation suddenly starts to heavily outperform advanced, highly industrialized nations on its stock exchange, it is actually a massive, flashing red indicator that the country in question is facing a severe and monumental hyperinflation. Nigeria is currently experiencing historic, record-breaking inflation, so this stock market boom is merely an indicator that wealthy oligarchs, institutional investors, and local investment banks have smartly recognized that if they hold their cash in standard bank accounts during this highly volatile period, they will lose their purchasing power every single day. Since they cannot easily access scarce foreign currencies like US dollars or Euros due to strict government currency controls, they desperately dump their fast-depleting Naira into solid, tangible local stocks like Dangote Cement, BUA Group, or MTN Nigeria just to preserve their wealth.

So, this triumphant news report that we are passionately commanded to celebrate is actually a terrifying warning sign that Nigeria is experiencing severe, runaway inflation. The local elites, corporate cartels, and bank directors are frantically tripping over themselves to buy blue-chip local stocks strictly to hedge against currency collapse, and this sudden, desperate surge in local demand has artificially driven up the prices of these shares to such a disproportionate, heavily padded percentage that on paper, it looks much more profitable to invest in the Nigerian stock market than in the highly productive, technologically advanced South Korean stock exchange.

Another major reason for this artificial stock market spike is the aggressive, reckless increase in interest rates by the Central Bank of Nigeria on behalf of the IMF and the World Bank. While this brutal rate hike has successfully collapsed thousands of local manufacturing businesses because commercial banks are now charging as high as 40% interest on business loans, it has also temporarily attracted a massive influx of volatile "hot money" from foreign speculators who are lending money to the Nigerian government by purchasing short-term treasury bills and sovereign bonds just to greedily exploit these high yields.

It is crucially important to historically emphasize that Nigeria is absolutely not the only developing country to be declared the "best-performing stock market in history." Mexico proudly achieved this exact same fraudulent title in the run-up to 1994, and it ended up almost collapsing their entire national economy into absolute oblivion. At the time, the Mexican government, acting on the strict advice of the World Bank, aggressively increased interest rates and adopted painful Structural Adjustment Programmes that triggered massive hyperinflation across the country. This temporarily, artificially increased their foreign reserves as yield-hungry international speculators dived in to exploit these high interest rates, causing their local real estate markets and stock exchanges to explode into a virtual goldmine for foreign investors. But this artificial boom did not even last for a few years. The moment the United States Federal Reserve increased its own interest rates, international investors panicked, liquidated their assets overnight, and pulled their hot money completely out of Mexico. This massive, sudden capital flight almost collapsed the Mexican Peso, forcing their desperate government to raise domestic interest rates to an astronomical 70%, but even this extreme measure was not enough to save the country from descending into total state failure. This was the exact moment Mexico was forced to accept a humiliating, sovereignty-destroying bailout from the IMF and the United States totaling a massive $57 billion. Exactly $20 billion of that came directly from the US treasury, but it came with the highly insulting, neocolonial condition that all revenues from the global sales of Mexican state-owned oil must be deposited directly into the Federal Reserve Bank in New York City as collateral to secure the debt, while the IMF forced even more brutal, structural adjustment programs on Mexico that the country has still not fully recovered from even to this very day.

So, while this stock market boom is currently being heavily marketed as another monumental, ground-breaking macroeconomic achievement by the Tinubu Administration, it is in reality extremely dangerous, deceptive, and reckless. Not only does it completely fail to reflect the actual, material reality on the ground, which is that Nigeria is currently the bleeding poverty capital of the world, but this exact, artificial economic bubble has the direct, terrifying potential to completely collapse the Nigerian economy, trigger massive capital flight, and permanently reduce the country to a subservient, bankrupt puppet state run entirely by the harsh austerity measures, economic dictates, and financial chains of boardroom terror organizations like the IMF and the World Bank.

Most people judge clothes on Temu by the photos.

Big mistake.

The fastest way to avoid buying clothes that feel like cheap plastic is to ignore the pictures and read the Fabric Composition.

Here's a simple cheat sheet:

Avoid (unless blended well)
• 100% Polyester
• 95% Polyester, 5% Spandex
• Cheap synthetic blends

Run away.

These are usually thin, shiny, trap heat, build static, and often feel like swimwear instead of actual clothing.

Look for
• Modal (extremely soft)
• Combed Cotton
• Ring-Spun Cotton
• 100% Cotton
• Viscose/Rayon (soft and smooth)

If you're shopping for specific items:

Jeans:
Search "100% Cotton Denim", "Heavyweight Denim", or "Rigid Denim".

Dress shirts:
Search "Oxford Cotton", "Cotton Poplin", or "100% Cotton Dress Shirt".

Jackets:
Search "Heavyweight", "Fleece Lined", or "Wool Blend".

Vintage clothes:
Look for Corduroy, Heavy Knit, or Washed Cotton.

One last trick that saves me money every time:

Never trust the product photos.

Go straight to the reviews, filter by "With Photos", and look at pictures uploaded by real buyers. That's where you'll see what the fabric actually looks and feels like.

Also look out for promos, you can get stuff for cheap and free packages for a cheap price.

Hope this helps once you understand your size, body, texture or material you're good.

@__ethelle Which is kinda crazy for the amount you pay for a device.

[Aisosa Lebarty @AisosaLebarty]

Hey

[Aisosa Lebarty @AisosaLebarty]

@The_Great_JiRI Someone that allowed you stay in her house rent-free is an enemy?? If you’ve been taking the initiative to fill that gas, she wouldn’t had stopped you from using it. You’re a freeloader, and quite ungrateful too. Change.

More on my "cart".

Interesting...

[UNCLE @MrOlibaba]

If you're already at 80% of your monthly target, there's nothing wrong with pushing some transactions into the next month.

As a sales person there's no need to enjoy all the applause this month and then spend next month explaining why your numbers dropped.

One thing in sales is that every target you hit this month expires this month. The scoreboard resets. You start again from ground zero the next month.

Management will celebrate your over 100% achievement, but next month they'll still ask what you've delivered.

That's why you have to be smart with how you manage your pipeline.

Sales is not just about closing deals. It's also about timing, consistency, and making sure you can defend your numbers every month.

In this job, you just have to be street smart.

[UNCLE @MrOlibaba]

As you resume work tomorrow and join your morning stand-up meeting, don't make the mistake of saying, "I have no transactions" or "I'm not currently working on any deal." When you're doing your presentation.

The moment you say that, you've put yourself on for drag. To management, it can come across as if you're not making any effort, and you can easily become a target when performance discussions come up.

Instead, talk about your activities and progress.

You can say:

"On Thursday, I visited XYZ Market and generated three leads. Two of them have requested that I come back on Tuesday to collect their documents."

Or:

"On Friday, I met the manager of XYZ Retail Store. We discussed our instant POS solution, and he asked me to begin the onboarding process because they are experiencing delays with reversals on their current provider."

Always have something to report. Talk about your engagements, meetings, prospects, pipeline, and next steps. Give numbers where you can and speak with confidence.

The reality is that sales is a game of activity before it becomes a game of results. If the results haven't landed yet, at least show that the work is happening.

Once the meeting is over, get back into the field and continue pushing your opportunities forward.

Convert that Zenith bank statement PDF file to excel and ask copilot inside the excel to deconstruct it in a new sheet, arrange it neatly and categorise the amount based on actual transaction, taxes like VAT and bank charges separately. Also to remove all RVSL.

@Owiggy_ I use the 16pmx as my daily driver. I game with it too, Asphalt , Pes etc. Battery still hasn’t dropped an inch.

I charge the phone once a day in the morning to 80-ish%, and it takes me for the full day. I dunno what I bought cause this device isn’t behaving like Apple!!

[Aisosa Lebarty @AisosaLebarty]

@japhetho I’ve handled these two devices.
Pixel has a slightly better camera, but Samsung has significantly better customisation and overall performance.

[Cowrywise @cowrywise]

IPO this, IPO that.

Everybody on your timeline is suddenly talking about IPOs, Public Offers and "getting in early." But you still don't know the difference between an IPO, a Public Offer and a Rights Issue.

Now that you can invest in all three directly on Cowrywise, I'll break them down in plain English and talk about how to decide how much to invest🧵

Your MiFi is locked to one network.
But you paid for the device.
Here’s how to make it universal and use any SIM card you want 🧵

[Aisosa Lebarty @AisosaLebarty]

@_raesparkles A bank wouldn’t divulge the contact info of their customer. If you’re a recipient of an erroneous transfer, you’re typically asked to fill a form authorising the bank to initiate a reversal to the sender. The bank handles the rest. Your story seems to be laced with falsehood

[Aisosa Lebarty @AisosaLebarty]

@Its_Yhettyqueen You wanna put your data at risk for <20k ??

Have you considered the future cost of this current decision?
