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.
Easiest ways to get rich:
•Sell men lust
•Sell women beauty
•Sell parents peace
•Sell kids dreams
•Sell the rich safety
•Sell the broke hope
Same game. Different packaging.
Things happen in life by the law of cause and effect, or else nothing will make sense. It is also called whatsoever a man sows that also shall he reap. When we therefore go to God in prayer over an issue wanting something to happen, God wants to show us what to do (cause) so that the thing we desire(effect) will emerge.
This is what it means when it says God showed Moses his ways (the cause) but his acts (effects) to the children of Israel. Moses, having understood the wisdom behind an appearance, could reproduce it, but for the Israelites, it was simply that they got "lucky" with God.
God wants to answer by showing you what to do. He is focused on showing us the cause while we simply want the effect.
He is a Nigerian trying to survive Nigeria just like i and you. No fraud, no crime. Just genuine and honest hustle of a brave Nigerian survivor.
Let us always reward honest hustles. Let us support this man if this crosses your timeline. Encourage legitimacy and nobility.
Our monthly prayer and fasting starts tomorrow Wednesday till Friday.

It's wasn't easy for me!
For 2 years now, I have escaped many assassination attempts & I have being running from one state to another just for my safety & that of my family.
I don't move freely. My only crime is being an Ex Muslim to Christianity & also a Preacher of d Gospel
.
This is the Military Officer who threatens my life because I am speaking against the genoc!de of believers in the Nigeria.
He promise to butchered me into pieces whenever we meet one on one.
His comment, profile, pictures, are all attached to the video. Please watch!
Already there are threats that prominent Christians that insist on genocide going on, will be detained if they fail to flow with govt lies. I join Prophet Isa El-Buba in shouting it out that there's an ongoing genocide against Christians and it's been on for many years. @tedcruz
Amazing how, in just one week, they went from denying the insecurity to suddenly acknowledging it and pretending to have a plan to fix it. Nigerian Christians, whatever you did this week, double it next week. 🔥
The world has largely ignored the persecution of Christians in Nigeria: 7,000 killed, 3.5 million displaced, and three churches destroyed every day.
It’s time to break the silence, raise awareness, and support those enduring unimaginable suffering.
Officials in Nigeria are ignoring and even facilitating the mass murder of Christians by Islamist jihadists.
It’s time to hold those responsible accountable. My Nigeria Religious Freedom Accountability Act would target these officials with powerful sanctions and other tools. https://t.co/iNmfMDlVVP
Dear Nigerians,
Arm Yourselves.
Buy Crossbows.
Buy
Buy AK-47 rifles.
Buy GPMGs.
Buy RPG Launchers.
Buy LAVs - they are made in Nigeria.
Buy Drones.
Learn to use them.
Resist ANY attempt to disarm you.
Anybody who tries to disarm you wants you to be murdered.
Age is no excuse.
Gender is no excuse.
Religion is no excuse.
If you refuse, your death at the hands of Fulani Muslim Jihadist Terrorists will be your own fault.
