“We Came All the Way to Nigeria to Hunt Down the Scammers Who Bl@ckmail And Defr@ud Teenagers In The U.S… But What We Discovered Left Us Completely Speechless. 😳” ~ American Lady Reveals What Happened During Her Team’s Investigation in Nigeria.
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.

Pheasant hunting involves shooting birds out of the sky. After the birds fall into the bushes, your retriever dog rushes to find the downed bird, brings it back to you, and receives a small treat in return.
I have often wondered why the dogs don't simply eat the birds instead of retrieving them for a small reward.
It's a matter of conditioning.
The dogs have been trained to give up something bigger—a fresh bird—for something smaller, a treat.
In 234, students celebrate receiving alerts about loans for their university education from elected leaders who sit on vast oil wealth. These students have been conditioned to exchange something significant for something small.
Similarly, those who accept bags of rice in place of a functional Social Security system have been conditioned to accept a small treat in return for something much larger.
Ultimately, there are those who sell their votes. Your vote is incredibly valuable, and wealthy politicians plead with you to sell it to them, which you do. You have been conditioned to take a small reward in exchange for something much more significant.
Selah.
A step by step explanation on how Western governments destroy African leaders who are competent. He gives the recent BBC hit piece on Ibrahim Traoré, led by a fellow African (Sudanese journalist).
See guys, CIA hands are truly everywhere.
So I came across this video on how the good African leaders are eliminated.
So this black Sudanese journalist with Skynews Yusra El-Bagir did a hit pieces on the Captain Traore of Burkinafaso.
So I decided to look her up and find out more information about her.
Here are interesting things that led me to CIA.
🇦🇺 At just 18-years-old, Jongkuch Mach, is already 7’6 — taller than any active NBA player.
He can touch the rim without jumping, moves fluidly, and led Adidas Eurocamp in blocks.
US colleges are currently chasing him as he weighs up Australia vs USA.
There's something about culture in an environment that ensures people adapt to set standards.
Arteta firm grip wouldn't soften cos of Vini. It would be Vini adapting. Our game approach will definitely be tweaked to accommodate him but the standards will remain.
From no ego’s to building around one ego 🤯
Let’s see if Mikel Arteta and Arsenal make a change that would change the ENTIRE culture of the team…
Sometimes it works (Salah 24/25).
Sometimes it doesn’t (Madrid over the last two seasons).
(One star is different to two, though).
What scares me about this is that if there hadn’t been any witnesses, she could have easily cried and claimed he assaulted her.
She would wake up, get dressed for court every day, testify against him until he was
found guilty, then go home and sleep like nothing happened. Thats how evil women are mentally.
Wealthy people use philanthropy and charity generally for tax breaks, image laundering, and building networks with powerful politicians who can open doors for their businesses.
You see how individuals do this “charity work” with an agenda in mind, that is how governments do with aid.
The EU, U.S. and U.K. all have aid money tied to one thing or the other. There is no free money anywhere. And nobody loves you that much to come save you from your own misery. This is politics. Everyone is out here for themselves.
Geopolitics is driven by national interests, power, and geography. Countries act to secure survival, economic wealth, and strategic advantage. Nobody is coming to save you. They’re not promoting a certain style of government because it will help you get your acts together. They don’t care if your acts are together, except it serves their interests.
Interests! That is all that matters.
@Babajiide People in Lagos think their quality of life is far better than those in Rural Nigeria.
Firstly, we are poor as a people and Lagos is that place where you'll find extreme poverty in large clusters within southern Nigeria.
@igbolagoon2015@sadaoverall Baba, i do not know your metric for poverty. But all I'll say is that a lot of people in rural areas are more comfortable than most people in Lagos.
Living in close proximity with wealth wont make you wealthy and vise versa.
No too underate this village guys.
A prominent Nigerian journalist is currently weeping on live television over the devastating economic hardship ravaging the country. According to his emotional outburst, Nigeria actively lent hundreds of millions of dollars to the IMF and the World Bank during the 1970s, but today, the country is plagued with a catastrophic budget deficit, a crippled currency, and must continuously beg and borrow from those same institutions just to balance the books.
However, as painful and tragic as this economic reality is, we must have the courage to call this exactly what it is: performative journalism. I consider every genuine, conscious intellectual in Africa to be an ideological soldier, whose sole duty, mandate, and historical responsibility is to shed uncompromising light on the structural truth, expose the mechanics of power, and push a relentless enlightenment campaign through their writings, broadcasts, and public speeches. Instead of shedding dramatic tears for the cameras, what Rufai Oseni should have actually done is use his massive national platform to remind Nigerians that this current crisis is simply another devastating form of neocolonialism.
In 1974, OPEC was the supreme, undisputed kingmaker in the global oil and gas industries, controlling international energy prices and dictating exactly how the world's most treasured energy resource should be managed. While many Western economies were struggling, suffocating, and facing severe recessions in the 1970s, OPEC nations like Nigeria were rapidly growing their foreign reserves, as hundreds of millions of dollars in cash-crop oil revenues flowed into our economy every single day. This was the exact moment Western banks and international financial institutions sent highly trained economic hitmen to these newly independent, oil-rich nations. They actively encouraged Nigeria to lend its massive capital to the IMF and the World Bank to help other struggling nations (which were almost exclusively Western European powers), and directly persuaded our leaders to invest their oil revenues back into European banks. Nigeria, under the naive, submissive leadership of General Yakubu Gowon, eagerly accepted this trap, sending hundreds of millions of dollars in interest-free loans to help stabilize the economies of Europe. At this highly lucrative point in our history, there was not a single functional domestic refinery in Nigeria, no world-class scientific research institutions, no robust road networks connecting remote agricultural villages to the cities, no stable electricity grids, no modern healthcare facilities, and no industrialized agricultural sectors. Yet, Nigeria was flatly told by Western economists that they were insanely rich and should be lending out their capital. Gowon enthusiastically agreed, notoriously boasting to the world: "We are so rich we don't know what to do with money."
Ironically, the moment oil prices crashed as OPEC's geopolitical influence weakened (due to massive new oil discoveries in the North Sea by the United Kingdom and Norway, and the Soviet Union rapidly ramping up production to become the largest producer on earth) the global financial-industrial complex closed its trap. The American Federal Reserve aggressively raised interest rates to unprecedented heights, triggering massive capital flight, a dollar squeeze, and a devastating global recession. Nigeria immediately began to feel the heat. Because our ruling class consisted largely of comprador elites who consistently put the financial interests of their colonial masters over the material well-being of their own people, and who had agreed to ship hundreds of millions of dollars to stabilize European economies without investing in local industries, domestic refineries, or robust educational systems, the country was hit with catastrophic force. The economy of the state was pushed to the absolute brink of collapse. It was at this precise, desperate moment that General Ibrahim Babangida was ushered into military power with full Western backing. He immediately ran to the IMF for emergency loans. This time, however, the IMF did not offer Nigeria the free, juicy, and interest-free loans that Nigeria had so generously lent to them in the 1970s. Instead, this bailout came with extortionate interest rates and highly humiliating, structural austerity measures known as the "Structural Adjustment Programme" (SAP). Under the SAP, the Nigerian state was forcefully compelled to remove vital subsidies, aggressively devalue the Naira, open up their local markets for foreign corporate cartels, systematically defund public education, and drastically cut funding for healthcare. This economic shock caused unprecedented, generational hardship, completely wiped out the emerging middle class, and permanently stifled the industrial growth of Nigeria.
So, instead of weeping and shedding theatrical tears on live TV, Rufai Oseni could have used his highly coveted platform to properly, structurally educate Nigerians on this neocolonial development. Our economic condition is indeed deeply gross, shameful, and painful beyond words, but we cannot afford to be emotional; we need to be strong, highly calculative, and analytically rigorous. We must understand that Nigeria cannot continue to operate on the temporary charisma of a single, isolated leader without a deeply institutionalized, scientific ideology. If our leaders continue to blindly adopt all the macroeconomic dogmas, currency floatations, and policy templates handed over to them from Washington, they will always operate an economy designed strictly to please their white colonial masters over the material welfare of their own people.
@CryptoDude60@UnkleAyo Someone falling has nothing to do with how strong someone is. It is a known fact that taller people struggle with maintaining their balance/recovery during motion when subjected to physical contact.
Ibra and Haland despite being physical specimen do fall. Its biology
@BenneHope@UnkleAyo I did not say Ronaldo is stronger.
Strength is subjective
Messi can ride physical contact while in motion due to his biological make up unlike Ronaldo.
The taller you are, the more you struggle with maintaining balance while in motion, most especially when there's contact.
