Actually this is a “class action” I can get behind on my own dime. I’ll have a team do some preliminary research and if we decide to pursue, I’ll give an update. We need more public interest litigation.
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.
Don’t you have dettol or tetmosol?
Don’t you have lux or joy?
Don’t you have dettol or dettol cool?
Don’t you have premier or premier cool?
You using ose dudu, using ose dudu, you using Ose what?😭😭
Seyi Tinubu flaunts in the club every weekend with luxury cars.
Habibat Tinubu lives a glamorous lifestyle in the U.S. She bought an apartment in NYC for over 2 million dollars when she was just 22.
Zainab Tinubu has no work we know of, yet she also bought an apartment in New York when she was just 25.
Your entire family siphons off Nigeria’s wealth. The only time you are seen helping the poor is when you want to use them for political gain.
We must remove this family from Aso Rock whether they like it or not.
Rape is one of them hardest crimes to prove. If it isn’t reported immediately, there’s usually no way to prove that it happened unless you get a confession from the rapist. Which is why I hardly believe all these “false accusation” talks. She most likely just had no evidence.
Unrelated but old nollywood hits different because they weren’t trying to copy Western filmmaking they just reflected our society as it was, no need to overdo it.
It genuinely pains me to see people constantly letting others walk all over them.
You deserve respect. Please don't be afraid to speak up and set boundaries.
@_shalommmm Its in their personality, their mannerisms, their pose and attitude. You can find two people with one conventionally more attractive than the other but still the one with less conventional beauty more attractive
