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! 🪒

Buhari: A Year In Memory https://t.co/7jDFLpMoLK

[Bolaji Abdullahi @BolajiADC]

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) wishes to draw the attention of the media and the general public to false reports claiming that a group led by Mr. Nafiu Bala Gombe has uploaded the names of a presidential candidate and other nominees to the INEC nomination portal. The claim is a blatant lie. And it is quite easy to verify why.

INEC does not issue nomination portal access or nomination codes to a leadership it does not recognise. Secondly, the Commission will not issue two codes to the same party.

Otherwise, every impostor would simply upload names to the portal and proclaim themselves the authentic leadership of a political party. That is plainly not how the law or the Commission's processes work.

The question, therefore, is straightforward: where is the evidence of this purported upload by a group of individuals not known by law or the electoral body?

We are also, by this statement, formally drawing the attention of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to what appears to be the forgery and unauthorised use of documents purportedly emanating from the Commission in a manner capable of creating confusion and undermining public confidence in its integrity and reputation as Nigeria's electoral umpire.

We trust that the Commission will investigate this matter and take the necessary steps to correct this blatant misrepresentation.

Muhammadu Buhari: A Year In Memory

One year has passed since the departure of President Muhammadu Buhari.

Generally, time has a way of softening passions, (perhaps not so much, in Nigeria). It lowers the volume of politics and allows character to emerge from beneath the noise of public debate. In that quieter space, it is worth reflecting on what may have been the defining feature of his life.

Muhammadu Buhari lived as though possessions did not define a man. They don’t. This is the philosophy of stoics, of which, I am one or still striving to perfect.

Whether one agreed with his politics or not, there was an unmistakable simplicity about him. He neither projected the flamboyance of office nor appeared captivated by the trappings of power. He seemed to believe that integrity was the true currency of leadership, that a leader's greatest asset was not wealth, eloquence, or popularity, but character.

I have summed up Buhari’s legacy as “Leadership is integrity. Integrity is leadership”.

Those words serve as the epitaph of a man who spent decades trying, in his own way, to live by them.

His presidency remains one of the most debated in Nigeria's history. Yet even many of his critics acknowledged what those closest to his philosophy always believed: that he genuinely cared about the ordinary Nigerian. His instincts were consistently shaped by concern for the common man rather than the privileged few.

It was this conviction that informed his reluctance to remove fuel subsidy for much of his administration. He understood its economic distortions and fiscal burden, yet he also understood the immediate hardship that its removal would impose on millions already living on the margins. His was a cautious approach, driven by the belief that economic reforms should not come at the expense of those least able to bear them.

The same philosophy was evident during the COVID-19 pandemic. Faced with an unprecedented global economic crisis, his administration turned to extraordinary financing measures, including increased borrowing from the Central Bank through Ways and Means advances, to sustain government operations and cushion the economy.

Those decisions continue to attract criticism, as they should in any healthy democracy. Yet they should also be viewed in their historical context. Around the world, governments adopted exceptional fiscal and monetary interventions to prevent economic collapse, preserve livelihoods, and support their citizens through an emergency unlike any seen in generations.

Nigeria, despite its vulnerabilities, avoided some of the worst humanitarian outcomes many had feared. That achievement did not erase the long-term economic challenges that followed, but it reflected a government striving to protect lives and livelihoods during an extraordinary crisis.

History is rarely kind to leaders in the immediacy of their time. It often takes distance to separate intention from outcome, and conviction from controversy.

Muhammadu Buhari will continue to be debated by historians, economists, and political scientists. His successes will be weighed against his shortcomings, and his policies scrutinised for generations to come. That is the proper work of history and historians will come from diverse camps, some will be fair, many will deliberately ignore context.

But beyond the debates stands the man himself:
-A man who believed that public office was a trust.
-A man who believed that personal simplicity mattered.
-A man who believed that government existed first for those with the least.

Whether history ultimately crowns or criticises him, few would dispute that he sought to live according to principles larger than personal comfort or material accumulation.

As I mark one year since his passing, perhaps the greatest tribute I can pay him is not merely to remember the offices he held, but to continue to be guided by Buharism-Leadership Integrity.

For nations are not transformed by wealth alone, they are transformed when integrity becomes the measure of leadership, and leadership becomes an act of service.

May Allah, in His infinite mercy, forgive his shortcomings, accept his good deeds, grant him Al-Jannah Firdaus, and comfort all who mourn him.

May his memory continue to inspire thoughtful reflection on duty, sacrifice, and the enduring truth that a person's worth is measured not by what they possess, but by the principles they leave behind.

Adieu, my Bubu. Thank you for your service.

Dear Remi Tinubu,

Your husband, who has the responsibility of improving the quality of life of every Nigerian, became President and spent over 100 billion on a presidential jet for his travels, over 100 billion on a fleet of official cars for himself, you, and other top government officials. He also spent almost another 100 billion renovating the President’s residence in Lagos and the Vice President’s residence in Abuja.

What makes you think you are qualified to tell Davido, Asake, and Burna Boy not to spend their own money on luxury cars, but instead use it to do your husband’s job?

The responsibility of improving the lives of Nigerians rests with the government, not private citizens.

Thank you ma!

PRESS STATEMENT

YOU ARE EITHER LAZY OR TOO EMBARRASSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE MY STATEMENT — ATIKU BLASTS TINUBU

The Presidential Candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and former Vice President of Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar, has described the Presidency's claim that he remained silent following the rescue of the abducted schoolchildren and teachers in Oyo State as a reckless distortion of facts that collapses under the weight of documentary evidence.

In a statement issued by his Senior Special Assistant on Public Communication, Phrank Shaibu, Atiku said there are only two possible explanations for the Presidency's latest outburst: either its media handlers were too lazy to acquaint themselves with publicly available facts before rushing to attack the opposition, or they were too embarrassed by the substance of his statement to acknowledge its existence.

"It is astonishing that a Presidency with limitless public resources could accuse someone of silence without carrying out the most basic verification. Either they failed to read our statement because they were too lazy to do so, or they deliberately ignored it because it exposed uncomfortable truths about their misplaced priorities."

Atiku said that, contrary to the false narrative being peddled, he issued a comprehensive press statement earlier today titled 'A Nation at War Needs a Commander-in-Chief, Not a Campaigner-in-Chief', in which he welcomed the rescue of the children, commended the gallantry of the Armed Forces and other security agencies, and called for sustained efforts to rescue every Nigerian still in captivity. (See excerpt of screenshot).

"For the benefit of Nigerians and to expose the falsehood being circulated by the Presidency, we reproduce below the relevant portions of that statement."

Atiku said the reproduced excerpts expose the Presidency's allegation as entirely false.

"The facts are now before Nigerians. We did not only congratulate the security agencies, we praised their courage, professionalism and sacrifice in unmistakable terms. What we declined to do was to applaud a Commander-in-Chief who, at a defining moment of national importance, remained publicly preoccupied with partisan political activities instead of personally leading the nation in celebrating the success of our troops and reassuring families whose loved ones remain in captivity."

He added that no amount of propaganda can erase the fundamental questions raised in the earlier statement.

"The rescue of the Oyo schoolchildren brought joy to the nation, but Nigerians are still asking: when will the children abducted in Borno and other innocent citizens across the country also regain their freedom? Those questions remain unanswered."

Atiku urged the Presidency to devote less energy to manufacturing controversies around opposition statements and more energy to confronting the grave security challenges facing the country.

"A government secure in its performance does not invent silence where there was a documented public statement. It responds to legitimate concerns with facts and results, not propaganda. Nigerians deserve a Presidency focused on rescuing every citizen still in captivity rather than one preoccupied with monitoring and misrepresenting the opposition."

THEY SAID EL-RUFAI WAS WICKED. WE SAID HE WAS RIGHT.

And we have the proof.

In June 2017, 33,000 primary school teachers in Kaduna sat for a simple competency test. It was not a PhD examination. It was not a complex university entrance exam. It was a test designed to assess whether they could teach what they were employed to teach — questions taken directly from the syllabus they used in their classrooms.

The result was devastating. More than 60% failed.

Over 21,000 teachers could not pass a Primary 4 examination.

Some of them could not spell the word "books."

Let that sink in.

Teachers. In front of our children. In classrooms. Paid with public funds. And they could not spell "books."

But that's not all.

We have the actual test papers. We have the evidence.

· A teacher who wrote that "skeleton" helps "move... body."
· A teacher who defined "cash crop" as "P.E.P.E."
· A teacher who wrote the name of the former governor as "M.A.I.C.S.R.U E.L.-R.U.F.A.'L'"
· A teacher who wrote the name of the Minister of Education as "M.A.H.M.M. A.D.A.N.U. A.D.A.P.O."
· A teacher who wrote an application for transfer as "Application of transport."

These were the people entrusted with the future of Kaduna's children.

And when El-Rufai said enough is enough, when he refused to allow mediocrity to continue robbing a generation of their potential — what happened?

They cried. They protested.

They took our children — 5-year-olds, 6-year-olds, innocent children — out of their classrooms, placed poorly written placards in their hands, and weaponized them to defend the indefensible.

Now, the same people who shouted that @elrufai was wicked are quiet.

The same people who wept for these teachers are silent.

But here's our challenge:

Let the government that claimed to care about them bring them back.

Let them rehire the teachers who couldn't spell "books."

Let them defend the teacher who wrote "Application of transport."

Let them explain to parents why they believe unqualified teachers should be in front of their children.

They won't. Because they know the truth.

El-Rufai didn't sack teachers — he saved a generation.

They called him wicked. We call him a leader.

Love him or hate him — the evidence speaks for itself.

Many friends and well-wishers have reached out to me regarding a recent publication by the Federal University Dutse. Since I have now received the University's official acknowledgment, I consider it appropriate to make this short clarification.

First, contrary to the impression created by the publication, my postgraduate studies were not sponsored by the Federal University Dutse.

Both my Master's and PhD studies were fully funded through scholarships awarded by King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals, Saudi Arabia. However, during my approved study leave, FUD continued to pay my regular salary.

Second, under the terms of my study leave agreement, staff members who, for any reason, could not return to serve are required to refund the salaries paid during the period of study leave. In view of my current professional commitments, I opted for the refund option.

Today, the university has acknowledged the receipt of the total amount through the official Remita platform, thereby fulfilling my obligation under the agreement. The University has confirmed in writing, as attached, that my liability has been fully settled.

I appreciate everyone who reached out with concern and support. I also appreciate the University's acknowledgment of the settlement.

I now consider the matter concluded.

May Allah continue to bless our lives and preserve us upon goodness, Ameen.

[Nigerian Bar Association @NigBarAssoc]

Beyond regulating legal representation by the Nigeria Police, the decision is expected to accelerate the professionalisation of police legal practice, improve legal advice at divisional police formations, and deepen institutional compliance with constitutional safeguards governing arrests, detention, investigations, and other policing activities.

The judgment also represents another significant milestone in the Nigerian Bar Association's use of strategic public interest litigation to advance institutional reforms and strengthen the rule of law. Through the suit, the NBA sought not only to clarify the legal status of police lawyers but also to secure structural reforms aimed at embedding legal oversight and human rights compliance within police operations across the Federation.
The CTC of the judgment will soon be made public.

The Nigerian Bar Association acknowledged the industry of its legal team in the matter, comprising Olukunle O. Edun, SAN, Austin J. Utah, Dr. Lilian Ojimma, Bulus Y. Atsen, fsi (NBA-SPIDEL Litigation Committee's Vice Chair), Olajide Abiodun, Mohammed Danjuma and Vincent Adodo (NBA-SPIDEL Litigation Committee's Secretary).

“Court Bars Non-Specialist Police Lawyers from Appearing in Civil Cases, Orders Deployment of Police Lawyers to All Police Stations Nationwide”

In a landmark judgment with far-reaching implications for policing, human rights enforcement and locus standi in Nigeria, the National Industrial Court of Nigeria, Abuja Judicial Division, has barred police officers who are not employed in the Specialist Legal Cadre from appearing in civil proceedings on behalf of the Nigeria Police Force.

The Court also directed the Police Service Commission (PSC) and the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) to deploy at least one police lawyer to every police station across the country to strengthen compliance with human rights standards in policing.

The judgment was delivered on Friday, 10 July 2026, by *Hon. Justice O. Y. Anuwe* in *Incorporated Trustees of the Nigerian Bar Association v. Police Service Commission & 5 Others (Suit No. NICN/ABJ/264/2025)* The action was instituted by the Nigerian Bar Association.

The suit, prosecuted by SPIDEL's Public Interest Litigation Committee led by *Olukunle O. Edun, SAN*, sought, among other reliefs, judicial interpretation of Rule 8(1) and (2) of the Rules of Professional Conduct for Legal Practitioners, 2023, Section 18(9) and (11) of the Nigeria Police Act 2020, and Force Order 137(3) of the Ratified Police Force Order 2013.

The NBA argued that several police officers recruited as General Duty Officers subsequently obtained Law Degrees and were called to the Nigerian Bar but were never converted to the Specialist Legal Cadre as required by law. Despite this, the officers continued to undertake legal duties, including representing the Nigeria Police in court.

According to the claimant, this practice contravenes Rule 8 of the Rules of Professional Conduct, which prohibits lawyers in salaried employment from appearing for their employers in court unless they are employed as legal officers in a government department or agency.

Among the principal reliefs sought were orders directing the conversion of all qualified police lawyers performing legal services in the Force to the Specialist Legal Cadre and compelling the deployment of police lawyers to every police division in Nigeria in accordance with Section 66(3) of the Police Act 2020, which provides for legal officers to support human rights compliance within the Force.

Before considering the substantive issues, the Court dismissed the preliminary objection filed by the Police Service Commission, which had challenged the competence of the suit, including the locus standi of the Nigerian Bar Association to institute the action.

In adopting a liberal approach to standing in public interest litigation, the Court held that the NBA possessed the requisite legal standing, observing that the suit was instituted to protect the interests of legal practitioners and promote compliance with statutory and professional obligations.

On the merits, the Court held that the continued deployment of legally qualified police officers who had not been converted to the Specialist Legal Cadre to represent the Nigeria Police in civil proceedings was inconsistent with the applicable provisions of the Rules of Professional Conduct.

The Court consequently restrained such officers from appearing in civil cases on behalf of the Nigeria Police until they are duly appointed or converted to the appropriate legal cadre.

Justice Anuwe further ordered the Police Service Commission and the Inspector-General of Police to give effect to Section 66(3) of the Police Act by deploying police lawyers to police stations nationwide to strengthen legal oversight and ensure greater protection of human rights in police operations.

I've interviewed presidents, governors, generals, activists and politicians. But sometimes it's the interviews with the families left carrying the emotional burden that stay with you.

A few days ago, I interviewed the lawyer Asiya El-Rufai, wife of former Kaduna state governor, Nasir El-Rufai. She spoke with the precision of a legal expert and the pain of a spouse.

She didn't ask me to defend her husband. She didn't ask Nigerians to take sides. She spoke instead - quietly but powerfully - about constitutional rights, due process, access to lawyers and doctors, and the emotional toll prolonged detention takes on a family.

It reminded me that behind every politically charged courtroom battle is a human story.

Whatever anyone thinks of Nasir El-Rufai politically, one truth remains: the rule of law only has meaning when it protects people whose politics we may disagree with. That is why due process is not a favour. It is the foundation of democracy.

Power is temporary. The legal precedents we tolerate today may become the standards - and the nightmare - we all live under tomorrow.

When I bought my house with a swimming pool in Johannesburg, the weekly cleaning bill hit me like a truck...R2k

I refused to keep paying that.

So I got strategic. I positioned my CCTV to watch exactly how the guys were cleaning it. Then I started randomly staying around whenever they came, asking questions, taking mental notes, and learning the process step by step.

Before long, I was doing it myself. Saved the full R2k every week...which later improved in that out location.

But here’s the real twist:
I didn’t stop there. I started offering the same service to my neighbours… and it’s been easy money ever since.

I even treat the cleaning sessions like my gym time... good vibes, sunshine, light workout, and cash in the pocket.

Sometimes you don’t even need the YouTube tutorials. Just sharp eyes, curiosity, and the willingness to learn from what you’re already paying for. And if you can't pick it up easily, please get on YouTube. That's my teacher.

Stop paying people for skills you can quietly master. Learn it...Cut the cost... Then flip it and charge others.

WHAT DOES THE ICPC WANT WITH EL-RUFAI?

Once Again, I ask: What Does The ICPC Want With Mallam Nasir El-Rufai?

From the Commission's persistence and vehemence in objecting to bail being granted by the state high court on clearly bailable charges ...

To the Commission's overly aggressive reaction to pictures taken with some individuals while he was in an unrestricted waiting area in the hospital ...

To the Commission's sudden forwardness and enthusiasm with issuing public statements intentionally worded to sell certain deliberate narratives to the unsuspecting public ...

Everything smacks of a deliberate intention to achieve a predetermined objective, which is definitely not about accountability.

We have maintained that we are not against accountability, but when an accused person who is undergoing trail - not for treason or murder - is treated with such high handedness, uncommon cruelty and aggression and as though he is already a convict, it raises questions as to the real motive.

Such conduct by the Commission which are not applied to other individuals in similar circumstances surely need extra scrutiny by Nigerians and surely prompt the question - what exactly does the ICPC want with El-Rufai and why?

We honestly hope and pray that nothing untoward happens to Mallam El-Rufai - whether intentionally or by accident.

One thing is certain though. We are watching, Nigerians are watching, the world is watching and surely God is watching.
