Some of you paid for that luxury hair bit by bit, paid for your gadgets bit by bit.
But doing Ajo to own these things is seen as fake life. This double standard is very funny.
People are doing Ajo to pay house rent.
Before Cowrywise and PiggyVest or any bank saving system, Ajo existed.
Some of our parents did Ajo to pay our school fees.
You people just have a problem with everything, ATP.
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.
Comparing Mr Bean and Eddie Murphy to Peller has nothing to do with being an Olodo anymore, that's clearly an early stage of insanity, get checked ASAP.
Get inspo from shein and Temu, get materials from Oshodi and Yaba; look for a decent tailor and let her sew nice outfits for you. All this won't cost you 30k.
These RTW brands with their ridiculous prices and faux cultural names need to die a natural death in this country.

Got paid today. Bought groceries. Paid my bills. Sent money home. Satisfied my cravings. Broke again. Back to factory settings. Adulthood is not for the weak!
The kindest thing literature does is remind you that your peculiar little feelings have always existed. Someone, in some century, was equally confused by love, bored by society, tired of performing, and hungry for meaning.
