richmond500: Fergie001 So house of assembly members no see budget pass.
them no wan pass the budget nah. Still trying to fight the executives. So if they have refused to give the governor date to come and present the budget, the governor should still wait till the year runs out?
saintbillion: They say, if life gives lemon, make lemonade. But this time around, it wasn't lemond, it was a snake, so she made snake pepper soup cause life gave her a snake instead of a lemon. This was the case of a Facebook user who shared her story of how a snake normally terrorised her poor chickens when ever she's not around. Unfortunately for the snake, and fortunately for her, the hunter became the hunted as she get rid of the snake shortfalls thereby puting her cooking skills into practice. https://www.facebook.com/share/18GJv4YZsE/
CyynthiaKiss: Trump’s airstrikes: Halt military cooperation with US immediately – Sheikh Gumi tells Tinubu govtPublished on December 26, 2025 By Francis Ugwu
Renowned US-based Nigerian legal expert and founder of Due Process Advocate International, Mr. Emeka Ugwuonye, has warned that a US travel embargo on Nigeria could backfire on Washington, arguing during an interview on DDM TV that the policy would harm America’s economic, legal, and diplomatic interests more than it would Nigeria’s.
why did he give them arms by himself? Don't we have means of approving arms to any security network? Is now an Nsm duty to dish out arms to ever he wants?

Onetechnews: When we say something is a red flag, it simply means something doesn’t sit right; it gives that uneasy feeling in your chest that says, “Something is off here.” And if you’ve ever been a victim of those tricky online vendors, you already know the kind of heartbreak that comes from ordering something beautiful online and receiving something that looks like it came straight out of a nightmare. That moment of “What I ordered vs What I got” can drain your trust in online shopping.
Let’s face it, online shopping in Nigeria can be both a blessing and a curse. One moment, you’re scrolling through a page filled with beautiful dresses, sneakers, gadgets, or wigs, and the next, you’re regretting why you didn’t just go to the market yourself. To save you from another round of disappointment, here are 7 red flags you should never ignore when shopping online in Nigeria.
1. No Clear Business Page or Website
If a vendor can’t point you to a proper page, website, or at least a verified business profile, that’s already a huge red flag. Many fake vendors hide behind random usernames and use only WhatsApp for sales. Once they collect your money, they disappear into thin air. Always check for a real page with posts, reviews, and consistency before paying.
2. Prices That Look Too Good to Be True
If you see an iPhone 14 going for ₦200,000 or a human hair wig that’s priced like synthetic, just pause. Don’t be carried away by cheap prices — they’re often bait to trap buyers. Real products have real prices. It’s better to pay more for quality than to cry later over rubbish delivered to your doorstep.
3. No Reviews or Only Perfect Reviews
When you check a page and all the reviews sound too polished or look copied, that’s a sign. Real businesses have both good and not-so-good feedback — because nobody can please everyone. If you don’t see any customer feedback, videos, or tagged posts from real people, think twice.
4. Payment Before Delivery with No Option for Pickup
Some vendors will tell you to pay in full before delivery, and once you do, boom — they vanish. If a business insists you must pay before even seeing the product and has no physical pickup option or verified delivery method, don’t send that money. It’s safer to buy from vendors that allow payment on delivery or offer clear proof of legitimacy.
5. Poor Communication or Rude Attitude
A genuine vendor understands that good customer service builds trust. But once a seller starts replying with “Are you buying or not?” or “I don’t have time for plenty questions,” that’s a red flag. If they are rude before you even buy, imagine how they’ll act after you’ve paid and something goes wrong.
6. Stolen or Misleading Pictures
Some online sellers use pictures they downloaded from Pinterest or international websites to attract buyers. You’ll see a product that looks so classy online, but when it arrives, you’ll just sigh. Before you order, ask for real pictures or short videos of the product, not screenshots from the internet.
7. No Return or Refund Policy
Once a vendor tells you, “We don’t accept returns,” or “Once you pay, no refund,” it’s time to run. A legitimate business should be open to returns if the item delivered differs from what you ordered. Don’t let anyone guilt-trip you into buying something that might frustrate you later.
8. Not Seeing the Face of the Vendor
If you want to purchase any goods online and the vendor refuses to do a video call with you, so you can confirm their identity. Abeg run oo. A real vendor will always want to reveal their faces as proof that they are not scammers.
Final Thoughts
Shopping online in Nigeria doesn’t have to be a nightmare. There are genuine vendors out there who truly care about their customers and deliver exactly what you order, sometimes even better. But the internet is also filled with tricksters who are only after your money.
So next time you want to click “send money,” take a few minutes to check those details, read reviews, and trust your gut. If something doesn’t feel right, don’t ignore it. Because in this online shopping game, once your money enters, the story go enter too. What is your online shopping story.
