@thehyce@jarule intro in his album, "Clap Back". Still in love with that album. "Paid In Full" would never fade to me, no matter how long. One of the best black movies I done watched.
Kool G Rap pioneered the technical rap style that later influenced rappers like Big Pun and Eminem, yet most people under 35 barely know his name.
Is he the most overlooked pioneer in hip-hop?
@Nigerian_Hiphop Everyday, you keep telling us you're a Gen Z or "Olodo Uprising". You done got internet on your fingertips, yet you make silly mistakes. Do your research before posting. Never ever disrespect the hip-hop culture in your life. Stay with your GenZ kinda music. Clown ass c*nt. Peace
PART TWO!
“My wife was a classmate of Stella Obasanjo, Late Nigeria’s First Lady. I brought her to the UK, trained her from O’level to PhD.”
-The Elderly man shares the full story, with receipts, of how he trained his wife but she turned against him, falsely accusing him of rape in the UK.✍️
In your Area? Twin seen as a taboo? Your Area no get name? Don't give us half baked update.
Mary Slessor never stepped her foot in igboland...She stopped at Calabar.
There's nothing called offor in igboland but ọfọ..
Igbo tradition regard "child" in very high esteem...One of the reasons we don't stone or pluck udara or even sell in the market because udara tree represent Omumu (fertility)...Now someone will come and tell me that IGBO culture supported k!lling of twins? Misconception and Nollywood film-makers did us a whole lot dirty
“I married my wife from a poor family, took her to the UK in 1970, spent £11,000 every year to train her in school up to PhD. When she saw she was established, she took me to court in the UK and lied that I rap£d my daughter of 11 years so that I could be deported.”
-A tearful story of a Nigerian man whose wife kicked him out and separated him from their children after he trained her in school in the UK.✍️
@Kene_Nnewi@ChelseaFC Sell the whole @ManUtd for Caicedo, then you're free to have him. Just give @ChelseaFC the ground and facilities,then "Here We Go"..
A man’s downfall is rarely caused by his enemies. It’s caused by his inability to sit in a room alone, without validation, without noise, with only his thoughts. Master that silence, and no opponent can ever truly own you.
Most people only know Temu and Shein.
But I know three platforms you can order from at very cheap prices.
They're platforms where Chinese people actually shop on, so things are way cheaper there because you're buying directly from the producers. Even Temu gets its goods from some of these platforms.
Likewise, a lot of "mini importers" in Nigeria use these websites. All those WhatsApp and Facebook vendors you see around, they get their goods from these websites at very low prices, then they inflate the prices when they want to resell.
I'll mention them below and share their links in the comments section.
1.▫️1688
Best for clothes, shoes, bags, phone accessories, electronics, home appliances, and just about anything in bulk.
They offer wholesale prices, but you may need to make bulk orders (10 to 100+ units). It's best for people who want to resell. The language on this website is Chinese, so you'll have to translate it. The video below explains how.
2.▫️Taobao
Best for fashion, jewelry, home decor, gadgets, and niche items you can't easily find elsewhere.
They sell single items easily, have a huge variety, and even better quality than what gets imported to Temu. It's good for both individuals and resellers.
3.▫️Pinduoduo
Best for everyday items, kitchenware, phone accessories, small gadgets, and household basics.
This is similar to Taobao, and often even cheaper. It's a great place for everyday buys.
NOTE, though:
Also, none of these websites ship internationally. You'll need a shipping agent to receive your order in China and forward it to you. It's also best to order in bulk.
Some of the agents include:
- Superbuy
- CSSBuy
To use a shipping agent:
1. Create an agent account on any of the agent website I'll share in the comments.
2. Paste the product link from 1688, Taobao, or PDD into their search bar.
2. The agent buys it and receives it at their warehouse.
3. You pay a service fee, then shipping once it arrives.
3. Agent ships to you, sometimes combining items to save cost.
Just make sure to always read the descriptions. Sort by best-selling, read reviews and check the photos shared by reviewers instead of relying on product pictures.
I'm sure you learnt something.
Stay sharp! 🪒
@Hunadi_Kim@mphoalex11 When y'all was doing all that, y'all wasn't seeking attention? Who told u I chase clout? Lucky Dube's story was a joke, right? Y'all let yourself been played by your politicians, plus, those hoodlums are south Africans, & no one else. Pls be quiet with the sh#t u saying. Peace!
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.
You're a mature man. 97% of your stress should be about making money, elevating in life, and building your future. Not about who is not talking to you. Focus on your future, not your feelings.
