For the most part, I'm not trying to be your friend.

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.

[Favour Writes @NotesbyFavour]

Took a shot at redesigning the Genix logo while keeping the original idea and shape intact.

I focused on making it feel cleaner, more balanced, more scalable, and better suited for modern digital platforms without losing the identity people already recognize.

I discussed with an AIG sometime last year and became clear how easy it is for someone with real vendetta to get at someone else without even drawing attention to himself.

You took money from someone, blackmailed him and you're kikiki-ing. 😅

Watch your back my dear.

[Sir Dickson @Wizarab10]

You're a bloody thief.

@daniel_edo67077 @Mufeeeedah @abujastreets You clean houses?

[Charles @NduCharles_]

Who will tell him how much more sinister the banks over there are?

[folowosele adeboye @boye4christ2006]

For over 4 years , I am still wondering how banks in the UK make profit from customers, unlike the confusing bank charges in some certain countries like Nigeria and co.

No stamp duty, no debit alert fees , no VAT charges of 7.5%.

I use my ATM (master cards) with different banks I don’t bank with, no charges, my ATM has never been missing in an ATM machine before.

Not a single charges has been deducted in my bank account since I came to UK.

@peng_writer Oh... Where do I begin?

Note that none of these pictures were edited. This was exactly how I took them.

[Charles @NduCharles_]

@torychisai @footballtweet Your first point makes no sense.

[Charles @NduCharles_]

@GodspowerOgemdi Check this lady out.

I’m your reliable food vendor in Abuja.

Kindly buy from me today.

This whole "polytechnic" gist is funny.

The insane ramblings of this mad woman is a clear demonstration of how women will sell their bodies and integrity for money...

And then come out to spew hate when their "time" in the system is up.

All the "evil" you claimed was ...

[Charles @NduCharles_]

Sadly...

No matter how many times this surface level ragebait is used, it won't stop working.

[Charles @NduCharles_]

@neo_officialll It's not their modus operandi.

It's shoot first, then analyse later – if they even analyse.

[Charles @NduCharles_]

@Auntyadaa The more important question now is, How long has he been doing this without getting caught?

And follow up: Who egged him into it?

Really sad to see, honestly.

[Charles @NduCharles_]

🤷🤷🤷

[Idanssssssss😝😝 @Nimisioluwa]

Some of you ladies are going insane with this short dress fashion trends🙄🙄

Wearing an outfit that leaves 1/2 of your ass outside is fucking crazy, insane and so uncomfortable for yall..

[Charles @NduCharles_]

You'd probably need jaws of life to get me out of that show.

And since it happened in Denver, I'll be suing every soul involved with putting together that show.

I won't be caught dead in a concert btw 🤷

[HYPETRIBE @hypetribeng]

🚨Moment Burna Boy asked a fan to take his girlfriend home because they were sleeping at his show last night in denver 🇺🇸🤯

“Take her the fxck home. Walahi im not performing another song till you go home”

@AquarianKing73 @Wizarab10 You'd have to find pieces of it here and there.

Although there's a space that was hosted recently, the recording should still be up.

[Charles @NduCharles_]

@maxvayshia As long as you can "apologize like a Genz", you're good to go.

😂😂

[Charles @NduCharles_]

@jodambusta She was inside when it was all happening and there was no problem.

Now she's been kicked out and her eyes suddenly opened.
😂
