āCovenant day of prosperityā but BDO will go ahead to preach kingdom advancement or Love for God. Nothing like stacking up earthly things.
When I see comments like this, I just know you donāt listen to any winners chapel sermon and you just want to āsay somethingā.
Steal this prompt:
Use my uploaded photo as the identity reference and keep my face, skin tone, face shape, and hairstyle clearly recognizable.
Create a clean black-and-white 4:5 contact-sheet collage with 16 evenly spaced panels and thin white borders. Each panel shows a chest-up studio portrait of me in the same plain black fitted crew-neck top and the same hairstyle, against a simple light studio background.
Show a different playful expression or hand gesture in each frame, such as smiling, laughing, pouting, winking, looking surprised, resting my face in my hands, framing my eyes, making horns, holding my head, or making claw hands. Keep the poses natural, with only my head, shoulders, upper chest, and hands visible. No legs in frame.
Use soft studio lighting, gentle contrast, and a polished editorial black-and-white look.
Camera: 85mm lens, f/4, 1/160s, ISO 200, sharp focus on the eyes and face.
For 4 years, I was dependent on Loratadine. I think it was the closest Iāve ever come to understanding what people mean when they talk about being dependent on a drug.
This year, things got worse.
My nose would get completely blocked and I would struggle to breathe properly. I stopped drinking cold water because I thought maybe that was the problem. š (It did not work. š)
I canāt sit under an AC for too long because thatās looking for trouble. I canāt sit directly opposite a fan because thatās an invitation for trouble. If someone is wearing strong perfume near me, trouble and sometimes even mild perfume can be disturbing. And my right eye will get red too because water will be dropping from my right eye.
On some days, I couldnāt even point to what exactly was irritating my noseš.
I did my research and stumbled on something called Non-Allergic Rhinitis and I just thought, āMaybe this is what I have.ā š
People who sit close to me on campus can tell you how bad my condition was.
There was one day it got so bad that I finished my own tissue roll, finished my seatmateās tissue, and then started using tissue from someone sitting behind me. š After I finished all the tissue roll, I moved to wipes because it was that bad š.
Fast forward to 3 weeks ago, I attended a camp meeting and on the last morning there was a healing service.
People were going out for prayers and I just sat where I was because please, do you know how many times Iāve prayed about this thing already? šš
But as I sat there, I started thinking about how uncomfortable the situation had become.
I thought about how my camp roommates had to adjust because of meš„ŗš. They had to put off the AC because if they didnāt, nobody was going to sleep with the way I would be blowing my nose and struggling to breathe.
So I finally stood up and went out for the prayers and I was prayed for.
Itās been 3 weeks and for the first time in years, I have not struggled to breathe through my nose.
I have not touched Loratadine, no inhaler, no nose mask, nothing .
Tbh, even as I type this I still cannot believe that I have gone this long without having to use loratadine. Itās the longest Iāve gone and I believe my testimony is permanent.

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.š
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.
Hear me outā¦
Two years back I joined X because I was tiredā¦.
Tired of jobs being posted on LinkedIn and within 1 hour of that, 100s of people had already applied. Everyone on LinkedIn was fake, trying to show how they were well-rounded and highly skilled. I barely made any REAL connections there.
Tired of tech influencers on Instagram saying, āCOMMENT HI AND I WILL SEND YOU THIS IN YOUR DM,ā just to increase their reach. I kept following them, commenting on their reels, getting the material in my DMs, and never really looking at it.
Then there was the cold email era where you send out 1000s of cold emails to recruiters, startup founders, and people in tech to either get a job or get some assistance for your startup. But letās be honest, out of those 1000 emails, only 10ā15 people (max) would reply.
But then there was X, where everyone is just being themselves. Even the most skilled people in your domain feel reachable here. Yes, there are a lot of shitposters, but there are also people who are really, really working hard and building something.
Hence, @shrav_10 and I are creating an X Chat for everyone interested in STARTUPS or TECH, where there will be only REAL tech talk.
We all can post important resources, job openings, and literally even collaborate and discuss startup ideas.
If youāre willing to actually GROW and NETWORK with the right kind of people here on X, then comment/quote/repost anything on this post and Iāll add you to the group chat.
Like I said, the right guidance and network can change your life forever!
July 1st, I want you to:
- google āsolar installation company in Los Angelesā or āswimming pool repair in Austinā
- go to page 6,7, 8 or even more of google search results
- you will see websites that are poorly designed.
- copy their link and paste them into https://t.co/xI0MduZudW. You can download a detailed SEO analysis. Alternatively, use https://t.co/szP80FQ2D9
- paste the results on grok or ChatGPT and instruct it to give you a website design outline and buildup plan for a modern solar installation or swimming pool business. Tell it to optimize the website for conversion and AI SEO
- copy the output and paste it on claude to generate a responsive html website for you
- you now have a website built specifically for your leads
- check the contact us page of those websites for the email (and if you are lucky WhatsApp number of the owner).
- your has now shifted from āwhat I will doā to āsee a website rebuild optimized for conversionā
- get the cold email course here https://t.co/MYIxqgwasf if you are struggling with how to write a converting cold pitch
