I'm a humanitarian, I run an online store, please ff my IG page: (handles on page). I love food (good food only abeg 😂) I love to meet new sweet people 💞💖
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.
@drepayne25@Spectranet_NG Honestly, it’s really annoying and painful. Why do I realize I have so much data left in my plan and I can’t have a stress free network experience
Dear @Spectranet_NG giving us a 100% bonus wouldn’t keep us if you don’t fix your network!
I can’t imagine been in a meeting and your network keeps disconnecting and I keep rebooting to get something close to a proper network service. It’s frustrating really!
FIX UP
God please I need a proper big girl job. I love seeing high earning corporate women.
Their dresses, wigs, pants and shirts, bags, accessories and poise.
I’m suited for it oh Lord! You know I’m not lazy and I’m humble enough to learn
I just need one person to believe in me🙏
Before you pass away, Remove your kids as direct beneficiaries of your assets. Then place all your assets in a revocable trust and name your kids as the beneficiary of the trust. This allows them to by pass the lengthy probate process and gain immediate access to the assets.
The woman selling akara is not praying for her kids to take over the business. She wants to give her child an education that helps him compete in this world.
It is one thing to be overtly stupid. It is another to be heartless.
I saw a popular chefs comment on intermittent fasting recently and she said her first and only meal is usually by 5pm. Someone questioned her as to how healthy it is, she said go and read up about it 😂😂
All of us will burn this fat by fire by force one way or the other 🤣🤣🤣
Before Tinubu’s tenure- don’t skip breakfast, it’s very healthy, it ll determine how your day will go.
Tinubu tenure- 1 meal per day is the healthiest thing to do.
What changed please ? 🤣🤣
One of my bosses got married, and every single wedding gift he received was donated to an orphanage. Not a single item made it to his house.
As for the money sprayed during the wedding, it was all collected in a basket kept beside the couple. He used it to buy fuel, cover other miscellaneous expenses, and share some with the bridesmaids. Not a single naira was spent on anything personal.
I asked him why? He said one couldn’t be too careful.
