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.

One of the greatest speech ever given by a player. This is what happens BTS, that's why they die for him.

Even in that speech, he acknowledged Emi Martinez who just had a baby and could not see his child, you think Martinez won't die for him?

He acknowledged their friends, their families, he acknowledged that they've been amazing for 45 days without complaining about hotels, pitches, etc...

He acknowledged how great they all have been, tell me why they won't give it everything.

[#TheSportsIlluminator @RayToluAyo]

I always love your write up

Always precise and dope, and your knowledge is vast

However,, there are "four statements" that are fallacies in the media space

• Cristiano Ronaldo is arrogant but Lionel Messi is humble
• Ronaldo chase records, Messi doesn't
• Ronaldo cares about the rivalry, Messi doesn't
• Ronaldo is hard work, Messi is talent

All these four, they are lies!!

Everything you said about Messi is good but it kinda paints Ronaldo as a selfish and a bad person

First, I don't believe all these Portugal players don't regard Ronaldo

I have followed football to a stage where I don't follow media noise

There is competition amongst team mates. You played football and you know this

An average European footballer has this perceived arrogant personality

Ask Zinedine Zidane, ask Thierry Henry, ask Arjen Robben, ask Eden Hazard, ask some of the great European players, etc

Second, before I judge someone, I sometimes check where they are from which are foundations to a lot of things

In 2007, Ronaldo was asked who the best player in the history of football is

He said;

"Cristiano Ronaldo"

He was 21 years and he hasn't even achieved anything

In 2012, when Ronaldo was asked about the Ballon d'Or

He said;

"in Portugal, we don't act like we don't want something. We say it out the way we feel it. I want to win the Ballon d'Or"

You have heard how Jose Mourinho speaks......

I think Nani once said he is as good as Ronaldo but Ronaldo was way more consistent. I can't remember how he put it again

These are the Portuguese ways of speaking and actions. They don't hide it and it doesn't make them arrogant

The Joao Neves interview, I didn't condemn him because of two things;

First, he is young and might not have meant it the way the media portrayed it

Second, it's the Portuguese way of speaking

All these Ronaldo is chasing records, he reacts or doesn't talk to anyone if he doesn't score doesn't make him arrogant or selfish

That's a personality trait and a way of dealing with disappointment

Yes, maybe sometimes;

He overdoes it or he should have done better, but then, is there anyone 100% perfect in character

And it's not every game that he doesn't score that he won't talk to his teammates after the game

He has played over 1000 games

Dring the BBC/MSN era.

The MSN said they use to share glasses of wine together

Ronaldo said;

He keeps a professional friendship with the BBC. They don't share wine, they come to work and go to their houses

Does that make the BBC group worse than the MSN?

Messi doesn't chase records....

Was it not the same Messi that messaged Pep Guardiola when Zlatan Ibrahimovic was making the headlines ahead of him in Barcelona

And it led to Zlatan being marginalized from the team!

Was it not the same Messi that said he was hurt when Ronaldo tied his Ballon d'Or awards?

Was it not the same Messi that told Guillerm Ballague that he wants to outdo Cristiano

So, you still think he doesn't chase records?

Let me tell you today, Messi has eyes on 1000 career goals. If anyone tells you otherwise, it's a lie

The Argentina team

You see the Argentine team that became successful

It's just because we don't give him his flowers. Lionel Scaloni was the reason why that team succeeded

Before now, Argentina was individualistic but when Scaloni came, the first thing he did was break that individualism structure

That was what the birth of whatever you see in the Argentina national team today

Scaloni fostered unity, trust, friendliness, and loyalty among the Argentine players and that was the beginning of their greatness

Once again, great write up but sometimes what the media paints are far from the truth

Well done

[TobyWrites @tobyasky]

I was randomly thinking about this Riquelme guy, and how he said he was gonna sign Haaland if he wins😭

He wanted to use Florentino Perez’ playbook on him😂😂

In year 2000, Perez told the Real Madrid socios to vote for him for president, that if he wins, he’ll sign Luis Figo😂

You know the crazy part? The sitting president had won two champions league in 3 years. In fact, they just won a champions league, he was successful. You wonder how Perez was going to unseat him 😂

Figo was the best player in the world, in fact, he won BDOR later that year, and he was a Barcelona player. Perez had to look for something to say to convince people to vote him and not vote a successful president.

Then he came up with a masterplan, he said if he wins the election, he’ll sign Figo. In fact, he said the best players ought to be playing for Real Madrid and he’ll bring them here, that was the start of the Galacticos era (Zidane, Delima, Beckham, etc joined after Figo…up till Cristiano, Kaka, Mbappe…till date, Perez has kept that word).

Signing Figo was an impossible feat. Figo was a Barcelona player, it’s impossible…and Figo had a release clause of 60m. No player has ever been signed for that amount. Record sale was Christian Vieri for £30 to Inter Milan.

Figo loved Barcelona, he was a god there, how will Perez convince him to sign? No top Barcelona player should move to Real Madrid. If you want to understand better, think of Messi in his prime going to Real Madrid, exactly!!!

First thing Perez did was call Paulo Futre who was a friend to Figo. He told him the plan, Futre then got in touch with Figo’s agent, Jose Veiga.

FP promised them some mad money, he said if they can make the deal happen, Futre will get 1.5m euros and Veiga will get 3m euros, which they eventually both got.

Futre was also the reason Veiga got up to that amount, because he lied to Perez that Veiga wanted more money as agent commission😅, he didn’t only lie to Perez, he lied to Figo’s agent and deceived him to sign a pre-contract.

Veiga couldn’t resist that money, Figo will also be paid x4 of the wages he was earning at Barcelona. Veiga was desperate for Figo to join. Figo did not sign any pre-contract, it was his agent, Veiga…Veiga claimed he got a go ahead from Figo to sign it, but Figo denied it.

This is where it gets crazy, the pre-contract agreement that Veiga signed on behalf of Figo had a clause. Gosh Perez is crazy. Perez included a clause that if he wins the presidency, and Figo doesn’t come to Madrid, Figo/Veiga will pay him 30m euros😂😂😂, and Veiga signed it.

When Veiga told Figo about Madrid’s interest, Figo told him to meet Barcelona’s hierarchy to tell them about the fact that a club (no mention of Real Madrid) was willing to pay off his release clause, but he doesn’t want to leave Barcelona, so they should improve his contract.

Gaspert was Vice President of Barcelona then, and was contesting for presidency too. He called whatever Veiga told him a bluff, no one could pay that release clause, they also just improved Figo’s contract a year before, so he felt Figo was greedy.

Anyways, the media started the rumour, it’s one of the craziest saga in football history. Figo was the biggest player in the world, everywhere went crazy. They would capture Figo’s agent in meetings with Perez, they would monitor Figo everywhere. Real Madrid players like Roberto Carlos and Hierro said they never believed it was going to happen.

Figo felt under-appreciated because the hierarchy weren’t taking him seriously, but he still didn’t want to leave.

Perez had now won the election. Figo said he’s not leaving Barcelona. Perez then asked Veiga to pay the 30m😂

Veiga almost ran mad, where would he get that money? Figo didn’t care, he wasn’t the one that signed the pre-contract. Veiga had to beg Figo to please go to Madrid, or if he wasn’t gonna go, can he just have a meeting with Perez to just talk things out.

Figo decided to meet with Perez, who convinced👇🏽

It's 8:30 PM on a Wednesday. Tunde just walked into the house after spending two freaking hours in traffic on Third Mainland Bridge. He is exhausted, his shirt is soaked in sweat, and he just wants to drop his bag and drink some cold water.

Kemi is in the living room, fanning herself because there is no light. She looks at Tunde, then looks at his empty hands. He forgot to buy the petrol for the generator, which he promised he would pick up on his way home.

If Kemi was just angry or frustrated, she would complain. She might say, "Tunde, ah-ah! I reminded you about this fuel this morning. Now we have to sleep in this heat, and the food in the freezer will spoil. I am really upset." That is a normal complaint. It focuses on the mistake and how it affects her.

But contempt is different. Contempt doesn't attack the mistake... it attacks the person.

Instead of complaining, Kemi hisses loudly, rolls her eyes, and looks at him with pure disgust.

"You cannot even remember to buy ordinary fuel. Is it until I write it on your forehead? I don't even know why I expect anything from you. It's like living with another child. You are completely useless when it comes to taking simple responsibility."

Tunde freezes. He knows he messed up. He doesn't feel like a partner who made a mistake... he feels like a foolish schoolboy being scolded by his headmistress. His pride is crushed. Instead of going out to find fuel, he gets defensive, hisses back, and walks into the bedroom, slamming the door.

Contempt doesn't ruin a marriage in one day.

It is a slow leak. Day by day, insult by insult, it drains away all the love, respect, and friendship until there is nothing left.

[#TheSportsIlluminator @RayToluAyo]

I wish I had seen this earlier but it's never late.....

When some football handles create some things and tweet, I laugh. You have easily fallen for the dummy these handles created.

I will not dive into Sir Alex Ferguson vs Pep Guardiola. It's never an argument because Sir Alex Ferguson is not anybody's mate. He is easily the Greatest Manager of all time

Let me correct some wrong assertions.

Enzo Maresca is Pep's protege? FALSE

Let me do a breakdown of Enzo Maresca's coaching career

Enzo Maresca after retiring in 2017, quickly moved into coaching.

He was assistant manager at Serie B side, Ascoli in 2017 under Fulvio Fiorin.

He moved to become assistant Manager at Sevilla in 2017/2018 season under Vincenzo Montella

In the 2018/2019 season, Manuel Pellegrini personally requested Enzo Maresca to be his assistant coach at West Ham United in the 2018/2019

In case you don't know, the biggest impact on Maresca's career is Manuel Pellegrini. I will still get there, let me complete Maresca's coaching career cycle

After Pellegrini was sacked in 2019, Maresca left despite being offered West Ham's job. He declined their offer because of a particular reason.

In 2020, Manchester City hired him as the manager of the Elite Development Squad. After a season, he left and moved to Parma

In 2022, he returned as Pep's assistant coach. In 2023, he was appointed by Leicester City and the rest is history....

Do you think Maresca was playing with his life when he moved into coaching immediately in 2017 after retirement?

Let's get back to Pellegrini's influence on Maresca

Enzo Maresca and Manuel Pellegrini share a deeply close mentor-protégé relationship, often described by Maresca as a "footballing father" bond.

Their connection spans back to 2011 when Pellegrini signed Maresca as a player at Málaga and later hired him as his assistant coach at West Ham.

Pellegrini was the first person who convinced Maresca to pursue a career in coaching.

When Pellegrini was sacked in 2019 by West Ham United, Maresca had to leave despite West Ham offering him the job

He turned it down because, he can't take his mentor's job after he was sacked

Vincent Kompany
Kompany is Pep protege because he played under him? NO

Kompany played under Pep only for three years. Do you know how many managers Kompany played under before Pep - 14 managers.

Another name that sound familiar was part of this journey - Manuel Pellegrini

So, Kompany is not Pellegrini's protege but he is Pep's protege?

That is how they said Xabi Alonso is Pep's Protege because he played under him for two years

Every player that played under Pep suddenly becomes Pep's protege

You want to make Pep the alpha and omega of football.

And you mentioned Marcelo Bielsa having more influence on football than Sir Alex Ferguson

That statement is the biggest disrespect on Sir Alex

Who is Bielsa and what is his CV. He influenced some coaches you would say!

You will mention 20 great managers, Bielsa's name will not be among.

Sir Alex Ferguson is beyond influence.

Do you know what he turned Manchester United into?

[Manchester United @ManUtd]

It's official: Bruno Fernandes is the best player in the Premier League 👍
