I buy from China specifically, 1688, Alibaba and sometimes Pinduoduo. Honestly, this is top level specifications identification. I like that he specified each product quality check individually and also still tell you what to look out for. This is spot on.
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.
This is another person turning down 1M/month work.
I don't know what you guys are on about but una dey do well for this App ooo.
This same X where everyone has $100k n their account?
Under this post, someone said she declined a 9-5 job that offered to pay 250k monthly. In her comment section another person asked to be put on.
I like as nobody dey do 250k-300k 9-5 work for Nigeria again.
That's very good. Keep declining oo.
Please, that person that said you should link her up under your CS, reply the person and link the person up and of there other Jobs that matches her interest, also introduce her to it.
Nah everybody dey do well online.
I saw a role where they are hiring a Paid ads specialist 450-600K in naira but they want a social media manager and the pay is 200-300K in naira.
When will they start recognising the work that social media managers actually do?
And the job is hybrid it’s not fully remote.
One day social media managers will be vindicated
Are you not stewpid?
Who suppose land for prospect DM for a pitch if no be you.
Don't get to work.
You Joker.
An Eye-opener yeah?
It was on Instagram I first saw the DONJAZZY tech something . I listened to him till the end and I registered immediately. I was ready and optimistic.
I opened x later that day and saw that the company has done same before with other big influencers, the application fee palava, no jobs, and everything just checks out.
This app will change your settings
You cannot build something like this with the kind of Electricity they supply us in Nigeria.
You can't even think straight to come up something as innovative as this in Nigeria.
It's SAD to point out that in your 30s in Nigeria, you still wake to think about what to eat or how to beat traffic.
It is quite unfortunate being a NIGERIAN FR.
BTW, this is very innovative.
We’ve raised $1.3M from YC & Afore Capital so you never have to type or speak again.
Typing is slow. Talking into your computer is awkward. Subvocal fixes both
Our glasses give you the speed of speech without you making a sound or touching a keyboard.
It tracks your internal speech muscles with non-contact sensing and decodes silent, almost invisible mouthing into text at more than 200 words/min.
Pre-orders are now live at:

As far as I'm concerned people are meant to charge what they feel they deserve especially if they're presented a blank check.
If she goes higher than your budget, you guys can negotiate and come to a compromise. Otherwise, there wouldn't be a contract.
BTW, like everyone, she's giving a take on her experience and not tagging you simply means she felt it's very unnecessary and she also respected the conversation you guys had.
Coming at her that way was very direct and wrong.
You guys didn't work and no party should be crucified at the expense of that.
You dey fear to tag me?
You were asking for 1.5m naira for a part time admin position, some of which was to make posts on social media. A remote job at that.
We already have AI softwares doing that for less than $75 a month. Your job basically as I informed you will mainly to manage ai agents and automations.
I also told you that for that amount, you will probably do more than admin, you may be delegated to join our Tech team as a frontend UX staff of which you declined saying you are a UX designer only
But ofcourse “you know your worth”, as in your words: you charge $2000 to design websites and people pay.
Very disappointing to see this response of yours Favour. Even after the advice I gave you in the informal conversation we had.
Your work ethics, work values and ability to take corrections and learn is disappointingly sad to note.

The ultra-rich constantly guard against transactional relationships and unearned access. They are mostly the gatekeepers of our society

Unpopular Opinion.
I prefer the Old Opeyemi. His new body couldn't embody his voice.
He could have just hit the gym, burn some fats with irons and turn them into muscles, then diet too.
Whoever allegedly advised him to use Ozempic did him bad.
Bring Tech to Kano!!!

There's an untapped opportunity here...
I have experienced a level of unnecessary classism networking sideways too, even if it happens to be the best of it all; easy, direct, growth etc. However, most of the times, these same people you see as peers that you're trying to network with, might be a little ahead and that gets into their head. I know because I have seen many play out, even people you supposedly grow together. However, networking sideways, works fine. At the same time, do what you're inclined to.
You're very unintelligent if this makes you feel Nigerians are intelligent.
There's nothing you want to tell me that would change my mind about his cowardice attempt to life.
HE'S A BL00DY COWARD!!!
