Back in 2018, Messi won the Golden Shoe, had 77 G/A in 54 games, went unbeaten in La Liga, and won the Spanish double.
Messi finished FIFTH in the Ballon d’Or and Modric won it because of his World Cup performances.
It’s only “utter nonsense” when it’s Messi… 🤷♂️
🗣️ “Leo Messi’s Argentina are facing the easiest teams in the World Cup 2026!” — a certain fanbase is currently claiming this. 😳👀
✅ Let’s see the reality (THREADS):
🇪🇸🇺🇾 Argentina would have faced Spain or Uruguay in the round of 32. But Cape Verde dismissed all this equation.
Cape Verde literally eliminated Uruguay out of the World Cup from group stage! 🥶
🇧🇪 Argentina would have faced Belgium in the round of 16.
But Egypt drew their last match 1-1 with Iran & Belgium won by 5-1 vs New Zealand. And Belgium became group champions & avoided Argentina! 😮
🇵🇹 Argentina would have faced Portugal in the quarter finals if Ronaldo’s team had won the group stage.
But they drew against comparatively small team like DR Congo & couldn’t beat Colombia! 😂
So if the opponent team lost & avoided Argentina in the knockout stage, is it Messi or Argentina’a fault! Strange! 😀🤯
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.
Woke up today feeling blessed asf! of course because I have life by the grace of God, but also because in 5 days I’ll be releasing my Miraku remix with Joey B .
The Psalmist said, “A good person may fall seven times, but the Lord will raise them up.” Sometimes you can’t get up on your own, but God is right there with you, lifting you, strengthening you, healing you, breathing in your direction.
Happiness doesn’t automatically happen. It’s a choice we have to make. You can’t wait to see what kind of day it’s going to be; you have to decide what kind of day it’s going to be.
