@FredrickNwabufo@PeterObi Shebi na you dey talk about his imperfect past now, can Mr president allow us talk about his past also instead of all this hiding.
If you’re buying a used vehicle in this country with over 150,000 km on it, please don’t just buy it and start driving.
First things first: service the transmission, change the engine oil and filter, change the transfer case and differential fluids if it’s AWD/4WD, flush the coolant if it’s due, inspect the tires and replace them if necessary, check the brakes, and get a proper wheel alignment. Then give the entire vehicle a thorough inspection and service.
And please, don’t take anybody’s word for it. Everybody selling a used car will tell you, “Oh, I already changed that” or “It was recently serviced.” Unless there are actual maintenance records or receipts showing when the work was done, assume it hasn’t been done and budget accordingly.
You can’t replace everything on a used vehicle, obviously, but when you’re buying something with 150,000+ km, take care of the important fluids, brakes, tires, and maintenance items first. That little money you spend upfront could save you from a very expensive repair later.
@OgbeniAdugbo You thought you did something here lol. But this is the true representation of what Nigeria is.. these are the regular people we all walk pass in this country and that alone is beautiful, that a “nobody” can be part of the change Nigeria needs.
Another one:
“An analysis of your Test D’Evaluation de Francais (TEF) results and information provided in your profile has raised doubts whether your test results accurately reflect your French Language skills.
As such I am considering your application for misrepresentation proceedings.
I have additional concerns as to why you travelled to Senegal to complete your exam when this service is available in Nigeria with less travel expenses.” - IRCC
If you travelled to another country to write the French language test because you couldn’t find a test date in your country, you will at least be ready/able to conduct an in-person interview in French language.
So, no shaking. 🤞🏾
Yes, it’s a growing trend. And we are seeing that IRCC is treating this with all the seriousness it deserves.
You will see things like: “Specifically, I have concerns that the TEF Language Test Results which you have provided in support of your application are fraudulent. I have come to this conclusion based on the verification conducted.” - IRCC
✅IRCC will verify the French Language Test you submit. No put yourself for long talk.
✅If it’s a “mercenary” it is flagged based on certain features.
✅Applicants who wrote the French language test in a country other than their country of residence are being invited to come explain why or to provide evidence of proficiency.
✅Applicants are now receiving in-person requests to come for interviews at IRCC local offices. Some that we saw this week got the interview request even after approval and passport submission.
✅Be truthful in your applications, always.
Any misrepresentation that is material to your application for permanent residence in Canada could lead to a 5-year visa ban.

Joe Feltz has died at the age of 40.
Joe had been collecting rare, sacred, hidden & last editions of old & ancient books & was in the process of scanning & uploading them as a free source on the internet.
Joe has been found dead, the cause of death has not yet been released.
Some of the books included original Masonic books & bibles, The 1812 Bible (including the Book of Esdras, Wisdom of Solomon, Apocrypha, and Psalms), The Lost Books of the Bible, Conversations on the Bible, Encyclopaedia of Witchcraft & Demonology (chronicling the inquisitions & Salem witch trials), Ancient Magic & Magnetism & much more.
Many of these books showed many inconsistencies with the modern version of history & exposed many hidden secrets.
Joe was also created free blueprints & online design tools to help his audience build their own off-grid power systems without expensive corporate costs & with free energy.
R.I.P & Fly High Joe 🤍🕊️
90k bookmarks! Thank you @TechnicalBben 👏👏.
To help you easily get the keyword search combination, I created a tap-to-copy search word tool. Open on your phone, tap a combo, paste in Temu. You can add to home screen so it lives like an app.

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! 🪒
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.
Coldness after a breakup is usually a defence mechanism from people. Sometimes people do not want to care. They don’t want to feel guilt, they don’t want to feel shame, they don’t want to empathise with the pain that you’re currently feeling because it could make them backtrack, double back or decide, “Maybe we should fix this.”
Some people want to stand firm in their decision that the relationship is done or the connection is done, and they don’t want their minds to be changed.
I'll say it again if you really want to buy a Benz as your first car go for the ML350 or GLE 350 2013-2016 .
The reliability and pocket friendless doesn't get better than that. After that. 😭🤭
If you are planning to marry a woman, stop asking childish questions like:
“What’s your favorite color?”
“What’s your favorite food?”
“Who is your celebrity crush?”
Those questions won’t help you know her.
Ask her THESE instead- and you will know who she really is......
