Good morning @tokunbo_wahab.
A rejoinder to my earlier tweet.
This video was sent to me last night. As it clearly shows, the residents of this house have made a conscious effort to avoid indiscriminate waste disposal. Unfortunately, their efforts are being undermined by the absence of PSP operators.
How can a major street like Afariogun in Oshodi be left without PSP operators for over three months, despite residents not owing service fees? The residents have repeatedly reached out to the Local Government and their relevant PSP operators, yet nothing has been done. And this is the reality of most people across the state.
While it is important to hold residents accountable for proper waste disposal, government must also fulfill their responsibility by ensuring consistent and reliable waste collection.
There is also a canal close to this street. If this situation is not addressed immediately, frustrated residents may resort to dumping waste indiscriminately, creating avoidable environmental and public health hazards.
I respectfully urge you to investigate this issue, restore PSP operations to Afariogun Street without further delay, and put measures in place to prevent similar service disruptions across the state.
So you're telling me that Rodri has won a Ballon d'Or, a treble after scoring the winner in the Champions League final, 4 Premier Leagues in a row, a Euros where he was Player of the Tournament, holds the record for the longest unbeaten run in club football history and now captains his country in the World Cup final.
Ridiculous footballer. He's an all-timer.
This guy is the poster boy for not paying back. He's been making skits about it all these while. Yesterday, he posted a song. You know what's funny? The song is actually sweet. Bad message, sweet song.

@wandyvirus This take is so wrong. In Yorùbá, there are expressions with more than one meaning in usage. That's why we have "gbolohun onipọnna." Ọmọ ole na de could refer to a person as a thief or his father.

From nearly leaving Chelsea due to injuries to potentially completing football’s biggest trophy collection. What a comeback that would be.
It took me a long time but I eventually learnt.
A woman will do everything to you but a woman will never lie to you.
You are the one who is not listening.
If she's not telling you with words, she's telling you with actions.
If you ignore signs, you will see wonders.
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.
