Thank Me Later...



Girlies!!! be honest. What would you do if you found out that your precious Brazilian, Mongolian, Peruvian, Cambodian, European, Fumi, Remy and what not was actually made of goat hair??? hehehe

 Its no longer news that many of these weaves, wigs and hair extensions are got from China. It is big business over there but what we don't know is that a large quantity of these weaves are mixed with goat hair.







As reported by BBC, high costs of purchasing authentic human hair has made most weave manufacturers in China to resort to cheaper, more affordable ways to make their business more profitable. 
According to Lily, a weave seller in Guangzhou, China, nearly 100% of her buyers are from Africa. Nigerian, Ghanaian, Congolese and South African scour the impressive hall for the best priced hair extensions available.

 She says '"It's good business for me, but the problem is we pay more for the hair now, as living and production costs in China are higher now."

 She went further to describe what she does to make her business profitable, she buys a mixture of human and some quantity of goat hair to lower costs, she also uses fake scales when weighing out hair to customers.

 "We say it is Indian hair or Brazilian hair, but in fact it is normally Chinese hair or even goat hair. They never realize. This is the only way we can keep things cheap," she says, adding that her customers always drive a hard bargain.

 Who knows, you might just be having goat hair as 'Brazilian' weave without even knowing.

Venting Tuesday : Convo With A Scammer

When will these scammers learn? Yes, scammers!!! Ever got a text message from a weird number telling you you have just won a large sum of money courtesy a popular brand? Or, perhaps, a strange phone-call from 'a long lost relative, friend, old school mate' and everything in between telling you how much he/she has missed you and would love to see you again after so many years ...blah-blah-blah Apparently, those examples I gave fall under the electronic type of duping (scam), other types of the electronic duping include email advanced fees, plishing . The face to face duping is another type of scam. Here, the fraudsters come to their victim in person, inviting them to participate in a too good to be true deal. They tell the victim he need not worry about money anymore because the deal they are offering will save him from being financially handicap for life.

‎Inspirational Bites with Seun Sanni: BLESSED IS THE HAND THAT GIVES

"Responsibility is the only solution to the war that is ongoing around the world. We all have to be responsible for one another most especially with our giving. When you give, you're automatically saying no to poverty and if poverty is eradicated from the land no one will think of going to blow him or herself up for a cup of rice. I plead with you leaders of churches, I want you to please teach the true doctrine of love not how to benefit church only, but also outer world. How will you preach Jesus Christ, the prince of peace when the environment of the church you reside is without peace?

Game or Simply Lame

I was having one of my chitchat moments with a close friend and the topic 'Standards' was raised. It was then I realized that many dating couples have too high standards they expect of each other thus many single people or broken marriages. Everyone has standards,they keeps us motivated to do our best, but often times these standards cause undue stress. Some often impose their standards on their loved ones; this is a new source of stress and frustration for partners who feel they cannot meet these expectations. I'm not saying standards are not good or unhealthy in relationship, I only think it shouldn't determine how much or how far the relationship should go. It also shouldn't be a criterium to determine if the relationship will lead to marriage but then again who is to blame? The partner with unattainable standards or the one who isn't truthful to him or herself and believes these standards can be reached.
