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.
Students and teachers were kidnapped in Ogbomosho. One of the teachers was beheaded on camera and the video circulated online. Other teachers and students are allegedly being tortured and abused with fire and canes, and their videos are also on the internet.
I checked the official social media pages of the Nigeria’s top political leaders.
Bola Ahmed Tinubu has not said anything about it.
Kashim Shettima is posting about a ceremony involving Yakubu Gowon.
Godswill Akpabio is posting about his re-election.
The Presidency’s official page is posting about tax laws.
And APC is still conducting primary elections nationwide.
Sometimes it genuinely feels like the lives of ordinary Nigerians no longer move the people in power.
Children and teachers are in captivity, families are in pain, people are terrified, yet the country keeps moving like nothing happened.
@seyedele Once I said I wanted to relax went to play snooker and I left my phone In the office got 50 missed calls from my wife and hospital her water broke and she had to go to the hospital her self since then I no dey relax without my phone
@UnkleAyo I don’t understand hate campaigns.
Disagreement is normal. I can dislike what you posted today and still respect you. If you post something I align with tomorrow, I’ll appreciate it. It’s that simple
Good morning to you sir IGP @TunjiDisu1
It was reported that you have ordered Dpo Satellite town in Lagos to bring the policemen involved in the recent viral video to Abuja on Wednesday 8th April, 2026 for disciplinary action.
We want to humbly request you televise the disciplinary action live on social media. over the years we only hear “audio disciplinary action” no proper disciplinary action in the real time when clip like this goes viral, because before you know it the same officers are back on the road doing their unlawful and criminal jobs.
So pls televise your own disciplinary action on these particular police officers that was caught in that viral clip, let Nigerians know your own is not “audio”
I don’t think this is too much to ask, Have a nice Easter celebration as we Nigerians expect your action regarding this request.
RT plss.
Unilag literally said, YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO PROTEST.
SIGN THIS INDEMNITY FORM IF YOU WANT TO RESUME AND WHATEVER WE DO, YOU CAN’T COMPLAIN.
ONE CRAZY WOMAN FROM TVC JUSTIFIED IT BY SAYING DURING HER TIME SHE USED CANDLE LIGHT AND LANTERN TO READ THAT WHY DO STUDENTS NEED LIGHT AND WATER.
Those men who leave work at 5 pm and use their cars to run Uber till 11 pm, sleep for 4 hours, then wake up before 5 am to run Uber till they resume work at 9 am, who do you think they're working for?
The man that impregnated Ajara should be prosecuted. Her health condition does not permit child birth, Doctors should have advised against this involuntary manslaughter.
Rest in peace beautiful soul 💔🕊️
