  • Zikoko’s Guide To Patronizing Online Vendors

    You have probably been looking for ways to understand online vendors and ways to maybe get them to respond on time. We got you. We know how it can feel to have your eye on an item only for the vendor to be playing tinko-tinko with your heart and emotions. I know I mentioned yesterday that you should save your salary in this article, but in case you didn’t listen, here’s how to spend it.

    1. Message them and get aired

    The first step to ordering from a vendor is to message them, the probability of them replying though is 0-100. To DM is human, to air is divine. That’s the way it is.

    E do usually pain sha

    2. After being aired, camp in their comments section.

    Give them no rest. If they can air your DMs, then they deserve no rest. Keep typing “check your dms” until they reply, unless it’s someone that isn’t ready to make money then sorry to you. 

    Pov: You begging in their dm’s

    3. They replied? Oya pay and get aired.

    This must surely happen to you at least 10 times. You’ll pay and they’d suddenly disappear on you, your chest will start to hurt and fear will grip the walls of your bank account but fear not they will reply soon. They are just spraying money on themselves because this country is hard. If you were in their shoes wouldn’t you do the same?

    4. Pace around your room and argue with the delivery man.

    You know how in every action movie there is the final boss? Yeah, this is him. This conversation will either drain you completely or make you happy depending on if he tells you that he’s in Orimolade in Ikotun when you’re in Orimolade in Fagba.

    All you can do at this point is pray

    5 Get your package and take the rest of the day off.

    We are proud of you for facing that hurdle, it couldn’t have been easy. Now take the day off and rest your head so you can live to do this another day.

    You will lie to yourself that you’re not doing again, whatever makes you feel better innit

  • 13 Things Every Nigerian Who Has Gotten Hungry In Traffic Is Used To
    Going into traffic could be a really risky idea, especially when you have a stomach that is a bottomless pit. Getting hungry in traffic is something many of us have experience and will understand these situation.

    1. When you are about to head out and notice a slight hold up.

    Good Lord, not today again.

    2. So you start to look for the faster lanes.

    Can this thing please move quickly?

    3. But every other driver is trying to get ahead of you.

    Why can’t these people just be kind for once.

    4. And the traffic has plans for you.

    It seems we are going to sleep here.

    5. And your stomach also has other plans for you.

    Why do I have to be hungry at this time and place.

    6. So you start searching for food vendors.

    In this whole Lagos not one seller, where are all these people?

    7. And you find one in your line of sight coming towards you.

    What a time to be alive! Finally!

    8. But they all stop 10 cars short of your own.

    *groans in dashed hopes, dreams and aspirations*.

    9. So you have to obey your stomach and do what needs to be done.

    HAYYYYYSS GALA, LACASERA!! Because it is better to be ashamed than die of hunger.

    10. But first you have to make sure it is good food.

    Is it fresh? Is it “today’s own?’ Is it not 200 Naira for seven again?

    11. When you make your purchase with N1000 but you don’t want to be swindled.

    I have budgeted this money for three days traffic food.

    12. And the vendor is wasting time as traffic eases up.

    It’s not my time you are wasting. When you are ready bring the change.

    13. And finally you can settle down and feast.

    I am not dying of hunger today. Praise God.
