Have a little issue here. I wasn't able to get an aliexpress agent to help me buy, so i managed to get the contact of a shipping agent who introduced me to their Chinese agent who does pick up for clients from sellers on 1688. I've made my order on their site and waiting to pay. But my challenge here is that there's no form of escrow to fall back on. I can't ascertain the weight of my goods myself so i would rely on whatever they tell me. I also cannot tell when i would have delivery of my goods because i would pay completely and wait for God knows when to have them. Does anyone have a solution to proffer here?

There is nothing shocking about this story Joro.

Because you are reflection of your friends who are all gold diggers that didn't mind as long as he gives them enough cash.

Both the bride & 2 ladies on bridal train are the same.

please go ahead & marry him. That's who you deserve.

Thanks, oga, for the vital infos you're giving here. My question goes : 1688 is all in Chinese language, how do you perfectly search for products on it. One might see some products on Alibaba or aliexpress and may decide to look out for it on 1688. How does he/she get to narrow his/her search so as to get desired result

It's really a sorry case on the part of most Nigerian ladies. Ask any average lady(even the seemingly educated ones) you see what she intends to achieve in life. "I want to graduate, and possibly get hooked up with my #MrRight before long". For fear of facing the world alone, they resort to pinning down some random man out there to marry them and eventually turn to liabilities. And what irks me about them is that they can't sustain a thoughtful discussion. But of a verity there are a microscopic few who are out there polishing themselves in all ramifications and trying to be achievers rather than liabilities, and to these ones i owe unalloyed respect and admiration.

Kayceenaz:
Structure, which presupposes a pattern in which things are positioned, has come to be an indispensable concept to humans in day-to-day linguistic dealings. Such can be sensed in varied spheres of life (religion, socio-economics, culture, sports, legal systems, and so on) where structure or framework is a precondition for their pertinence. Medical science acquaints us with the fact that a skeleton is the framework of the human body, without which recognizing the human species may be an uphill task. Nigeria's political skeleton in relation to the levels of government obtainable is one with the ratification of the constitution. Although the federal and state governments enjoy

a considerable degree of autonomy in their existence, it is heart-bleeding that most local governments in the country have been deficient of that crucial trait. With the recent stride of the Senate legislative chamber towards local government councils in mind, suffice it to say that the sacrosanctity of this branch of government deserves reiteration and should be distanced from encroachment.

Nigeria's federal system of government is one wherein there are governmental subsets known as the tiers of government which are basically three in number, viz. federal, state, and local governments. Whilst the the first two governments are preoccupied with central and units administration, the typically last one is an elemental part of each of the units (or states) that facilitate overall governance therein. These various tiers of government exist in the first place due to the distinct roles they play respectively which cannot be overriden, unless the nation is poised to welcome shortage of synergy in her being. That is to say, the local government is as pivotal as other branches of government to nation-building. The Nigerian constitution, in the Fourth Schedule subsection 2(b), stipulates that "The functions of a local government council shall include participation of such council in the Government of the State as respects the following matters; the development of agriculture and other natural resources, other than exploitation of materials." But this truism has been mostly submerged by state governments personified in their governors. Using Imo State as a case study would be illuminating.

With an erstwhile presidential aspirant and widely acclaimed philanthropist in the state's saddle, it is easy to presume that the marginalization of the local government is non-existent therein. Reality affirms this is not the case. Since the inception of the present administration in the state in 2011, the LGCs have become somewhat defunct given the alarming rate it is subdued. It has almost become utterly dependent on the state government, thereby making it susceptible to the state as well as unable to fully fulfill its responsibility as government of the grassroot. Alongside the paltry allocations the 27 local governments in Imo State receive monthly (if it comes at all), sole administrators are appointed whose fate are premised on the whims and caprices of the occupant of government house. The reluctance to conduct elections in the Eastern Heartland, which would usher in chairmen and councillors that can hold their own without habitually kowtowing to the governor, has endured for the past 6 years. Without doubt, this political culture has been contributory to poor governance in the state where substandard basic infrastructures are predominant and workers' cum pensioners' monies that accrue to them are slashed with impunity. Such an aberration is not exclusive to Imo State, implying that a good number of other states in the country experience same. In the event of LGC elections eventually holding, the party in power in the state comprehensively wins but not in the absence of plausible allegations of electoral fraud. Stooges are birthed and the cycle of mediocre leadership continues.

Given the delicateness of this present time where agitations are widespread in the country and a fatal revolution seems imminent, the deliberate or inadvertent deemphasis of the autonomy of the third tier of government should be discontinued. This means allowing democracy to hold sway in local government councils. People therefrom should be provided the leeway to vote in persons of their choice (and not the governor's or any political bigwig's) in an ambience of fairness. Requisite monthly allocations that are due to them should be isolated from fraudulent mutilation of any sort. As the constitution underlines above, local governments in the nation should be viewed from a fresh standpoint of a viable governmental facet that abound with economic relevance which can increase a state's internally generated revenue (IGR). Thus, the relation between state and local governments should be collaborative rather than repressive. The Senate's recent commendable move to somewhat eliminate excuses for the effeteness of LGCs, by relocating election-conduction powers from the often compromised state electoral bodies to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), is a step full with a ray of hope.

However, the vitality of structure in any area of human endeavour cannot be overstressed and this resonates in Nigeria's governmental framework. In as much as the local government is the third and last tier of government, it would be an error in reasoning to suppose that it is peripheral and downplay its existence. Without mincing words, Imo State as well as most states herein (perhaps your state too) are instances of where the autonomy of LGCs are treated with indifference. Democratic values should be given unhindered access to such grassroot administrative systems. Commendably, the Nigerian Senate has kickstarted the reformative process which states' number one citizens and citizenry should--for the common good--key into.
