1. Do not rent a house close to a church, mosque, or school. You’ll regret it if you do.
2. The first red flag when you are house hunting is if the landlord/landlady lives in the compound. Abort mission.
3. The best time to house hunt is during the rainy season. It helps you avoid places that are prone to flooding and erosion.
4. The kind of people who live in the compound, street, or estate is very important. It is best to live among married or family people. This will save you from trouble. I’ll not explain further.
5. Check for proximity to a standard gym, supermarket, pharmacy, filling station, hospital/clinic, and police station.
6. Any house that is asking for two years’ rent upwards is a red flag. They’ll most likely serve you a quit notice after those two years so they can rent it out to someone who will pay two years’ rent and pay all the caution fees you paid.
7. Check how frequently they bring light in that area. Don’t ask the house agent or tenants. Ask those shop owners and children on that street. They’ll tell you the truth.
8. Always ask and check if the last occupant of the house is owing light bills. If you don’t, you’ll end up paying for light that you didn’t use.
9. Check for network. Do not rent a house where you have to go to your kitchen before you can have access to good network.
10. Take your time. If it is going to take you six months to find a house of your taste and budget, then wait and keep searching. Never pay for a house in a haste or out of desperation.
11. If it is not a new house, do your findings to know why the last tenant of the apartment you want to rent packed out.
12. Ask about their policies. Do they allow generators? Do they lock the gate too early? Do they rent out apartments to people with questionable characters, occupations, etc.? These are red flags that may land you in trouble if you ignore them.
Back in 2018, Messi won the Golden Shoe, had 77 G/A in 54 games, went unbeaten in La Liga, and won the Spanish double.
Messi finished FIFTH in the Ballon d’Or and Modric won it because of his World Cup performances.
It’s only “utter nonsense” when it’s Messi… 🤷♂️
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.
He won titles with Barcelona — “comfort zone.”
He won Ligue 1 — “Farmers League.”
He won MLS — “rigged and scripted.”
He won the World Cup — “rigged and scripted.”
He won the Copa América — “they organize it every year just so he can win.”
He won 8 Ballon d’Ors — “robbed.”
He won 6 European Golden Boots — “irrelevant.”
He has the most assists in football history — “assists don’t matter.”
He dribbles past opponents — “they don’t tackle him properly.”
He scores free kicks — “they’re too close, and the goalkeepers just let them in.”
Other big national teams failed to beat small teams so could play against his team — “It’s his fault and FIFA’s.”
He’s humble — “it’s all an act.”
No matter what Lionel Messi achieves, the goalposts keep moving. Meanwhile he is just there chilling and enjoying his football. 😂
At what point do you simply accept that you’re witnessing the greatest footballer the game has ever seen?
Aren’t you all tired?
@AirtelNigeria I did a data supposed to be unlimited for 30 days, I saw on the app that it was 100gb but I felt it was joke and now the supposed unlimited data has finished in barely a week
I love what I’ve been seeing on my timeline. There are plenty of graduate trainee opportunities available everywhere!
If you graduated with a 2:1, completed your NYSC, and are under 25 years old, you’re in high demand. If I were in your position, I would invest my time in practicing GMAT questions and immerse myself in YouTube tutorials to learn how to excel in interviews.
