I have few trials left in me before I delete it. 😂 LinkedIn is gradually becoming Facebook! Lies, lies and propaganda🤣😂.

Why didn't you sell this as a digital product? I've been asked this question since that post blew up. If you've followed me for a while, you know this has always been the kind of account I've wanted to build. I've spent the last two years sharing opportunities, teaching people for free, investing in strangers, and helping people land remote jobs because I know what it's like to have nothing. I'm not rich but I can make impact with my voice and influence my followers gave me. I've spent over ₦4 million helping people. I've trained hundreds for free. I've built a community, a newsletter, and hosted Spaces where people come to learn, ask questions, and connect with opportunities. Like is said I'm not rich but I can make impact with my voice and influence my followers gave me. Could I have turned that Temu thread into a paid guide? Absolutely. Did I want to? No. The entire point of that thread was to show people that quality doesn't always have to be expensive. A lot of people simply don't know what to look for. I didn't either. I've wasted money buying things that looked amazing online but turned out to be terrible. If sharing what I've learned saves someone else's money, I'm happy to do it. Some people called it PR. It wasn't. Some people called it a marketing gimmick. It wasn't. It was just information I believe more people should have, especially in a country where every naira matters and people are trying to make the most of what they earn. I'm not against selling digital products. I sell things too, and I believe creators deserve to get paid. I just don't believe every piece of knowledge needs a paywall. Sometimes the return isn't immediate revenue. Sometimes it's trust. Sometimes it's impact. Sometimes it's knowing that someone who couldn't afford to make the same mistakes you made won't have to. For those who don't know me, I'm a Lifecycle Marketing Specialist and Email Marketing Specialist. I work with e-commerce brands and companies around the world from Nigeria, helping them grow through CRM, lifecycle marketing, and customer retention. Outside work, I'm building products, communities, and creating content that helps young Nigerians make better career and financial decisions. If you're trying to break into tech, land a remote job, understand marketing, or simply make smarter decisions with your money, that's the kind of content you'll find here. This account has never been about pretending I've made it. It's about documenting the journey, sharing what I learn, and making sure the people coming after me have a slightly easier path than I did.

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.

I think its Yahoo boys that's making some of you clowns You are a security man You see me 10 times, you beg and hail me 10 times You sell shoes 85k I can get on Temu for 50k with free delivery You open a restaurant and use plastic takeaway to sell one plate of Egusi soup for 18k. Just because Yahoo boys are tipping you everytime you hail them or because Yahoo boys are buying 5$ Chinese sneakers for 85k or because Yahoo boys mostly do not have taste and will accept 18k soup in a black SUP plastic takeaway That does not mean we are all Yahoo boys I am not giving you shishi unless you earn it. If you like hail me 1 million times I will buy my cheap Chinese shoes on Temu and I will not accept an SUP for an 18k soup
