UPDATE: I didn't know my analysis on these fake products would become a thread. I later got my oil through Rok Daily Drive https://rokdailydrive.com while they were helping me inspect my car and fixing the damage caused by the oil

I bought an oil, and it almost damaged my car. The writing on the container threw me off initially. After using the oil, it was drying off in the car. The oil quickly got short and black, what would usually last months only lasted a couple of months. I think Mobil needs to check or find a way to reduce fake products out there. I know it's not their fault that their products are really good and there are bad actors out there.

Mehn I am just tired. Nigeria matter is tiring, to even find a good diagnostic here in Lagos is like Frodo looking for the volcano in The Lord of the Rings. I need help with one because these Lagos mechanics and diagnostic service providers are moving funny too.

This is a really good piece and you touched on some major points... I was reading about this a few days ago, although it was most online vendors and stores. I think Kosher Leads addresses deeper in their article about handling customer complaints and gives case studies on how a business should solve this. I think I saw some sample conversations to give online store owners an idea of how to handle customer complaints. Good piece, brother.

I think y'all should start calling them out. Use platforms like insights nigeria. People who search for that particular vendor gets to see the warnings. Add the business to their directory if it is not already there. Its about time we start looking after each other.

99 percent of crypto/gift card vendors on Nairaland are scammers. I'm a victim and because of trust I lost so much but I'm wise now and never to make any silly mistake again. I've been scam 200 dollars steam wallet card here because of trust. He load the cards and send me fake alert. I was thinking since its Nairaland many are educated and serious traders but I was foolish to myself. If you ever trust any vendors here you will learn the hard way. Since I've been trading with Tbay I've never experienced scam. A word is enough for the wise.

I'd say in my lifetime have been defrauded up to 3 times by Instagram vendors. About 2 seemed real, with large followers. I regretted every bit. But I have learnt a lesson and I keep preaching to anyone who has gotten an item online and is having issues with the vendor, simply goto Insights Nigeria and leave a review for that business. If they are not listed, add them to the directory and leave your comment.

Anyone who searches for that vendor or business will see real reviews on them. At least they won't be able to scam the next person.

True. I noticed this with a vendor on snapchat. Mehn I'm just glad there's a platform like Insights.ng that I can easily use to upload the vendor or business name and then drop a review so other people can be aware of the issues they'd likely face with the vendors.

Some of them post pictures from Temu... they take your orders and then order for you. Usually takes 2-3 weeks to arrive.


Some are just outright thieves out to take your money.

I am looking for platforms where I can get reviews of instagram and tiktok online vendors, most of them are not on google maps. I don't want to waste my money and time.
Thanks in advance.

I placed an order from a brand on Instagram and it has been 2 months, still no update from the vendor. Initially the vendor said the logistics company lost the item, mind you I never got any message or mail from the logistics company. I asked for replacement and we've basically been going back and forth. I wish I knew before hand that the vendor was not legit. Please be careful out there when buying from social media

Omo, let’s be real, finding hair that actually lives up to the hype in this market is not easy. But after trying Z3 Hairs, I can boldly say the search is over. If you want that "Rich Aunty" look that will make people turn heads at the next Owambe, this is the plug z3hairs.com.

The first thing you’ll notice is the quality. This isn't that scanty hair that starts shedding the moment you brush it. It is thick, healthy, and has serious body. One thing I really appreciate is their honesty with measurements; the way they handle the "height equals length" standard is legit. You won’t order a 22-inch and end up receiving something that looks like 16-inch. What you see is exactly what you get no stories!

Their 2026 glueless frontals are the real game-changer, especially with this our Nigerian heat. You can get that perfect "melted" look without stressing yourself with messy adhesives every morning. It’s comfortable, secure, and very easy on your edges.

Yes, it’s a premium brand, but it is worth every kobo because the hair lasts. If you’re tired of vendors giving you headache and you want hair that stays looking fresh month after month, just follow Z3Hairs. 10/10, highly recommended!

Honestly, I've tried various ones and I will still recommend Kosher Leads Limited. I have tried them and you can check out their portfolio, and I think they even have a popular Nigerian church in Ikoyi on their portfolio. Have you tried the one you mentioned before?

Wow, this is a fantastic breakdown of digital marketing! It's so helpful for someone like me who's just getting started. I appreciate your clear explanations of SEO, PPC, website marketing, and all the other types. The benefits you've listed make it even more compelling. However, I know similar services, like a digital marketing agency. Anyway, thanks for sharing your knowledge!

In Nigeria’s digital marketing space, many small businesses are eager to grow online, but most don’t have a real strategy beyond opening social media pages. What’s often missing is a clear plan that includes branding, SEO, and content that actually drives conversions.

One digital marketing company I’ve come across doing impressive work in this space is Kosher Leads Limited. They specialize in helping small and medium-sized businesses build a strong online presence using a mix of:

1. Website design & optimization
2. Search Engine Optimization (SEO) to improve visibility on Google
3. Organic and paid social media growth (especially TikTok & Instagram)
4. Content strategy and branding
5. Sales funnel and landing page development
6. Personal branding and digital positioning

They don’t just manage pages, they build systems. One standout project was helping Smus Qweed, a music producer brand, grow from under 200 to over 11.8K TikTok followers organically using consistent branding, trending content formats, and targeted calls to action.

Their SEO work has also helped brands like Mentor Drive and House of Asian Ltd become more discoverable on Google, especially for location-based and niche services.

What I like is that they focus on measurable results, not vanity metrics. If you’re a Nigerian SME looking to grow your digital footprint, agencies like Kosher Leads Limited are setting a good example of what’s possible when strategy meets execution.
