Here’s what I’ve learned after making too many shopping mistakes.
Pictures highlighted contains items from Temu
1. Crop Tops (I bought 3 sets)
Instead search:
• Ribbed Cotton
• Cotton-Spandex Blend
• Seamless Crop Top
• Double-Lined Crop Top
• Premium Rib Knit
• Modal Blend
Avoid thin polyester if you don’t want it to become see-through after a few washes.
2. Baby Tees
Search:
• Baby Tee
• 95% Cotton
• Cotton Jersey
• Ribbed Baby Tee
• Stretch Cotton
3. Oversized T-Shirts (tend to be more expensive rn)
Search:
• Heavyweight Cotton
• 240 GSM
• 260 GSM
• Combed Cotton
• Drop Shoulder Tee
Higher GSM usually means the shirt hangs better and feels more premium.
4. Tank Tops
Search:
• Seamless Tank
• Ribbed Tank
• Cotton Blend
• Double Layer Tank
Double-layer tanks usually aren’t see-through.
5. Hair Bands & Headbands (the one I bought was a little bit thin but I know best now)
Search:
• Satin Headband
• Silk Headband
• Padded Headband
• Knot Headband
• Non-slip Headband
Satin is gentler on your hair than rough polyester.
6. Claw Clips
Search:
• Acetate Hair Clip
• Cellulose Acetate
• Large Claw Clip
• Matte Claw Clip
Acetate clips are usually stronger and less likely to snap than cheap plastic ones.
7. Earrings
Search:
• 925 Sterling Silver
• Stainless Steel
• Hypoallergenic
• Gold Vermeil
• PVD Gold Plated
These last much longer than regular fashion jewelry.
8. Necklaces ( they are plenty of 3in1 necklace in this category, avoid it)
Search:
• 316L Stainless Steel
• Titanium Steel
• PVD Gold
• Tarnish Resistant
If the seller doesn’t mention the material, that’s usually not a good sign.
9. Rings ( I bought 15pcs for 4500 and it’s pink now) avoid alloy
Search:
• Stainless Steel
• 18K PVD Gold
• Adjustable Ring
• Cubic Zirconia
• Moissanite (if you want sparkle)
Cheap alloy rings tend to fade quickly.
10. Handbags ( most tend to be made with plastic leather)
Search:
• Vegan Leather
• PU Leather (High Grade)
• Pebbled Leather
• Crossbody Bag
• Gold Hardware
Always check customer photos to see if the bag keeps its shape.
Here’s how I shop now:
• Material first. Pictures second.
• Read the lowest-rated reviews before the highest-rated ones.
• Customer photos > seller photos.
• Check measurements. “Mini bag” sometimes means really mini.
• Buy from listings with lots of orders.
• Don’t trust words like “luxury” or “premium” unless the materials back them up.
• If a listing has videos from buyers, watch those before checking out.
One thing that made LFTs much easier for me was stopping looking at them as individual numbers.
Instead, I started asking what each test is actually telling me.
Since then, I’ve been dividing every LFT into 3 groups, and interpretation has become much more straightforward.
1. Is the liver injured?
I put together a short guide that breaks Supply Chain into 9 career paths and shows:
• What each role does
• Entry level job titles
• Salary ranges
• Tools used on the job
• Interview questions
• Career growth opportunities
• A 30-60-90 day plan
There’s also a quick quiz at the end to help you identify the best path for you.

During an SLE lecture, a final year medical student asked:
“If SLE is an inflammatory disease, why is ESR usually high while CRP often stays normal?”
This is one of those concepts that’s easy to memorize but much more useful once you understand the why.
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.
