What these students may not have realized is that the fact they were smart enough to capture the lecturer on video is their saving grace.

If they hadn't captured him on video, there is a possibility that the lecturer may have succeeded in turning the tables on them.

A friend fowarded me this update as it is here on Whatsapp.

"His name is Revd Cornelius Eze of Áwka Diocese Anglican Communion.

He is a lecturer at Paul University, Awka, Anambra State. He was caught forcefully having sex with a female student, he jumped through the window, ran away with only his boxers.

His car and his belongings were still within the school premises and he is no where to be found till now. He is declared wanted by the school authority.

There are many of them I know that involved in this act while I was a staff of the university, going by my position as the PA to the Vice-Chancellor then, I have privy information available at my disposal but I keep shielding them because of the respect I have for PRIESTS.

It is very unfortunate!

Tell me how this one will handle this type of scandalous act.

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! 🪒

[Technical Ben @TechnicalBben]

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.

[Alvin @Alvin1492840]

97% of iPad owners use their iPad like a giant iPhone.

Netflix. Instagram. YouTube. Maybe Notes for a grocery list.

That's a $1,100 device doing the job of a $200 phone.

A college student was one of them. For 2 years. Then her roommate a design major who sold her MacBook and runs her entire life from the same iPad sat her down.

"You're carrying a laptop replacement in your backpack and opening it to watch TikTok. Apple buried 10 features that turn this into a full computer. They don't show you because they'd rather sell you a MacBook too. Sit down. 12 minutes."

She changed 10 settings.

The student sold her laptop 3 weeks later. GPA went up. Workflow got faster. She saved $1,400 on a MacBook she never needed.

Here's everything her roommate showed her 🧵

[The Grid Post @TheGridPost]

BIG CHANGE:
YOU CAN NOW OFFICIALLY
GENERATE ELECTRICITY FOR YOURSELF, USE WHAT YOU NEED, AND SELL EXCESS ELECTRICITY BACK TO THE GRID THROUGH YOUR DISCO

The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) has commenced the Net Billing Regulations 2026, a new framework that allows eligible electricity users to generate power mainly through solar energy for their own use and export excess electricity back to the distribution network.

In simple terms, if your solar system generates more electricity than you consume, you can now send the extra power back to your DisCo and receive credits under a regulated billing arrangement.

This effectively creates what the sector calls a “Prosumer” ;meaning you are both a consumer and producer of electricity.

However, there are conditions.

This is not yet targeted at the average small residential solar setup.

To qualify:

-You must already be connected to a DisCo network.

-Your renewable energy system must have a minimum installed capacity of 50kWp and a maximum of 1.5MWp

-You must obtain approval from your DisCo.

-You must sign a Net Billing Agreement and register with NERC.

Approved users will receive bidirectional meters that track: ➡️Electricity imported from the grid
⬅️Electricity exported back to the grid

Felting to a retaining wall today, or spending tons of millions correcting damp issues in the future.

You see that wall? It’s called a retaining wall. A combination of cement, sand, granite, and reinforcement. With all those constituents, you’d think there’s no need to treat it for damp-proofing. But they still applied it anyway.

But then, you’ll see a building in a waterlogged area like Lagos, where the foundation type is strip or pad foundation with blockwork, and there is no proper Damp Proof Membrane (DPM) or Damp Proof Course (DPC) laid at all.

If a retaining wall made of reinforced concrete still requires damp-proofing treatment, what then is the excuse for a building sitting directly on blockwork in a waterlogged environment?
