Speaking to some ‘japarians’, one general mistake they made was buying Winter jackets from Nigeria amongst other things. Stating that it is not durable and could not keep them warm. It just occupied the space for something more useful.
From Esther, who is in the UK, she said, “ I bought two winter jackets for myself for 15,000 naira each and three for my daughter for 8,000 naira each. When we got here we couldn’t use it because it was like a normal sweater compared to the cold here and it’s not even winter yet. I would have use that space it occupied for something more useful or better still I would’ve just bought one piece each.

Aina in Ontario, Canada said she got two winter jackets at 8000 naira each but she couldn’t use it unless she combines both of them at once. She had to buy a winter jacket there in Canada because the combination was not looking good at all. She got her winter jacket for $30.
