And of course social rating in the society for which it’s meant of course. Like how the French for example rate a French designer and stuff like that.
Americans are the highest consumers in the world. How it’s rated in the American luxury society is also a good indicator.
And do your research always. Google the brand. Who they’ve worked with, what awards they’ve won, what celebrities and royalty they cloth (not Nigerian celebrities) etc etc.
I’m sure there’s more.
Thanks once again for your time
Please where can I get genuine cosmetic products in Lagos?
cococandy: I do agree with you. Casio and swatch can be considered midrange considering their MSRP is from $50-$150 . And it’s better to spend low and buy original than spend high and still end up with fake.
However Tag Huer and especially Chopard are not really midrange in the Nigerian market.
While Tag watches start from around $1,500 and up, Chopard doesn’t start from any prices less than $10,000. That’s already a starting price above 500k and 3 million Naira respectively. Some Nigerians can afford it but it’s not a mid range in our market.
I encourage anyone interested in buying any designer items to look up the price and features on the website of the original manufacturers. If possible, order from them. They don’t reduce their prices for our market . That’s the clue that someone is trying to sell you a fake item. When they come with prices 90% less than it is.
I remember one guy bragging one time how they buy China knock offs and sell to celebrities at inflated prices but of course not up to the manufacturers MSRP and they were none the wiser for it.
Don’t buy anything from anyone except the manufacturers’ online stores, outlet store or their authorized dealers (Macy’s, Nordstrom, Barney’s etc).
Counterfeiting is huge in the worldwide market now.
wow... I’m impressed with your analysis. I must say I’ve learned something new
Please does this also apply when getting other things like cosmetics
therealakuko: I can relate with most of what the OP typed up there. Out of the five things the OP listed, I personally believe the most important is the ability to build relationships with other people or in other words, the ability to network.
It doesn't matter how creative or how knowledgeable you are, if you are unable to master the art of human relations, e go hard for you believe you me.
If you are the patient type, then you don't need to buy followers to grow your social media page or profile. If you want, I can show you how to do so on Instagram FOR FREE. All it will take is for you to be consistent and patient.
Regards[/i]i’m interested in this
[i]As in ehnnn... and no be just data ooo, including electricity wey person go dey use dey charge him device...
No problem, if you're on Instagram then click on the link in my signature let's link up
But did you see the part where eherbal first mentioned him and insulted him?
Or that one isn't rude to you?
baba like I said I’ve been on this thread for a long time now
Come on, you don’t talk down on peoples hustle that way no matter what. What I expected him to do was to ignore as someone more enlightened as he claims.
I see the way you respond to some peeps here with just ‘ok’ and that’s fine.
With all due respect sir... I think you side him everytime issues like this come up and that is wrong
PS: everyone can’t be against him all the time and you tell me he was insulted
ornicus: It’s cool. By now you at least understand I am not on your level, man of kabu kabu mentality. Face your struggle of riders, I face my struggle of high net worth clients, and the world continues to turn
i have been following this thread for long and I’ve seen you are very rude and arrogant.
From the way and manner you talk down on drivers hustle to the way you project yourself says a lot about you. Mind you that what you think you are, people have become.
One clear thing is that with the supposed exposure and experience you have, you don’t carry yourself well. You don’t behave like someone who has worked in a corporate organization, and it’s clear you enjoy the attention you get here. I doubt if you are what you claim to be coz I can’t fathom how you make time for irrelevant issues
Anyways it will pay you to keep shut and be humble. My 2 cents
nwanyionitsha: The girl jokingly made that statement, but the man took it personal probably because of his culture and his tribe. I really do not know why she would make such a joke. The guy may also be upset cause she was sitting at the back. A lot of these drivers expect passengers to sit in front. I don't and wouldn't. If you are a taxi driver and expect every lady to sit in front with you,just go and park your car.
who is talking about sitting in front?
I even enjoy it when ladies sit at the back coz that way I avoid them totally
What is bad is bad please and stop supporting the mannerless idiot
Anyways I didn’t expect anything less. Birds of a feather flock together
xxxtedyxxx: Your next approach will depend on the kind of response you get. You don't want to make it look like you are pushing or forcing her. You must lead her. Women like to be lead, especially by a man who knows what he wants.
My Uber account was suspended on Friday due to high cancellation rate. I was asked to complete an online test which my account will be reactivated upon completion
My account is yet to be reactivated even after the test. Please what do I do for my account to be reactivated?
Y1nka: They do say Hyundai part is expensive , yet I bought my own Tokunbo compressor for 23k there about , so I no know how Toyota compressor go reach 45k. Well I know one AC guy around BARIGA , as if you’re going to Unilag , he’s good.... and another one at egbeda. Those are the only two I can refer to.
Others are expensive trial by error technician.
You can Whatsapp me or I can drop the details here too.
dokyOloye: Bros,to hit another car from behind is extreme recklessness.Either he was distracted or he was driving carelessly or his brakes weren't working well or all. Either of them,its solely his fault,its also a traffic rule,hit a car from behind or hit a stationary vehicle,you are highly at fault.It wasn't even in the night sef. If somebody were driving me and hits another car from behind,I'd hold him solely responsible. As per being happy, his post sounds very flippant, not like som1 who is remorseful that his mistake led to grevious bodily harm to another. If na your mother/wife/girlfriend dem remove her teeth in such circumstances, you no go de talk like this.
my thoughts exactly
But most times we get emotional with issues like this
I wish the rider speedy recovery and hope we will all learn from this
chidiebereuzoma: Okay thanks for your advice! I was actually influenced by the kind of movies I watched while growing up. All those van vicker, Jim iyke play boy stuffs. I started off fantasizing about it and stuffs like that. In addition to that, I have the required looks to match it up and the rest is history. But sometimes it feels weird to me. I once spoke to a counselor about this. I'm getting old enough to get married but I can't even genuinely love a woman Sometimes I get worried about this but many times it makes me feel good and alpha...
i feel same way bro
I need to see a counselor. How can I connect to the counselor you saw?? Is he in Lagos?
stanuplane: I encountered them on that yaba axis last week Friday. My map lost GPS signal, started misbehaving and I ended up on a one way road. They intercepted me immediately and opened my car door before I had chance to lock it. The guy was talking to me like an angel. He asked if I ve being warned before for taking this one way and I told him no. He said then I don't have anything to be afraid of. I will just have to drive to their office with one of them to check if my no is in there system. If they don't find my no there, then I can go and I happily agreed. My riders( an old man and woman with their teenage daughter in front) begged them from now till eternity to let us go cos they are already very late for their engagement but they might as well be singing, so I agreed and drove off to their office like a good citizen to prove that my no is not in their system, but then an angel in the form of one guy around there who saw the whole thing happen frantically called my attention as i was about to drive off and told me in my native tongue(Igbo). He said "nwokem, isoro ndia ruo office ha, nwanne ha 'rie gi". Meaning "guy if you follow this ppl reach there office them go chop you die" immediately I heard that a tiny gunshot went off inside my head and my brain had to rest to Lagos Factory Settings.
I had same experience today at Igando after my rider said he needed to use the ATM to pay me. I parked in front of the bank with my hazard light on... then next thing two guys jumped in front of me. Before I could say jack one has entered and said I should just move a bit forward. I was like move to where and he started asking me if I’ve been booked before. I was like no and he said I didn’t have any issues then that we should just move a bit forward. I changed it for them... I told them I wasn’t going anywhere. Thank God for my Soji rider that also came and lashed them. It was when the bank police came they immediately left those guys are turning into something else.
Guys they can’t do jack once you stand your grounds. They only act if they notice you are scared. They even said they were going to tow my vehicle... lol. Bunch of illiterates
All the same guys let’s be careful as prevention is better than cure
skillip: Nothing wey Musa no go see for gate. Picked 2 guys, a babe and 2 children , they were heading to Gbagada from Oniru beach . All of them young sha. The guy and the babe sat behind me, the other guy was beside me and the children behind as well. I just dey drive lost in thought, n.a. their kissing make me snap out of my thought, by the time we got to Adeola Odeku my car don begin shake, heavy smoochng and what have you. I was just upset. When we got to Unilag water front the guy now asked if I have water that he's thirsty, for my mind "water kee you there". The sad thing was that they were so oblivious of their environment, ignoring the children beside them.
I need holy water to cleanse my car.
na normal thing my guy so long as they no do the do inside the car
I’ve lost count of people kissing and smooching in my car
The last one na even between married woman and the ex (got to know from their convo)
My guy hustle hard o make dem no go dey smooch ur wife inside Uber
I took a rider to surulere from circle mall last night and spent more than 2hrs 30mins in traffic. The fare was #3300 only to wake up to see fare adjustment of #2134. I’ve never experienced this and want to know if it’s normal or I should contact Uber
