There are many ways to buy things from China and ship to Nigeria and if possible to your door step. You might be a seller who sells things on jumia, konga, jiji, or any of these e-commerce stores in Nigeria, re-seller who helps others sell their products as a retailer or an outright buyer who just wants things from china because let’s face the fact, China is the No 1. production destination of the world today. This is another good way to make passive income,So how can you buy from china?
I have heard of countless online seminars that people organise in order to teach people how to buy things from china and ship to Nigeria to sell, but the process is really simple. If you know these sites, you are one step closer
With these sites, you can buy just about anything from China today. The major challenges for most people are;
- These websites are all in chinese, unless you have a Google translate Chrome extension before you can understand anything
- Secondly, after your purchase, you have to pay in yuan which is chinese currency with the exception of Alibaba, for that, you can pay in dollars. So now you are probably wondering, how can i get yuan, since I’m not in china
How can I ship it down?
There is a website that can help you do this. Buy from china is a trusted platform that many people have employed to ship to Nigeria. All you need to do is fill the form and specify the products to buy, where you have seen them on the site mentioned above, the sellers in china will be contacted on your behalf to ensure the product is quality enough. Thereafter, your products will be shipped down to you.
The advantage of using this service is that you don’t have to think about customs clearing and all the bureaucracy that comes with shippjng to Nigeria, I’m sure you know them already if you’re into this business.
Finally, you get your products from China in any of the warehouses location; Lagos, Abuja or Kano. From there, you can pick up or have it shipped directly to your door step where ever within Nigeria.
Note: Shipping takes 4 days to 1 week to get to Nigeria, and to your door step, could take more than that

Your expectations are obvious, and it may affect your employees’ productivity or ability to deliver what you want.

Outgrowing simply means to discard or lose something in the course of one’s development. As you learn more about the people in your life, you begin to realize that you no longer have the same values or your goals no longer align. We try to involve these people in our life’s journey, but sometimes when the relationship comes to an end, you suddenly realize that it wasn’t mean to last; some relationships just become a chapter in your life and it’s okay.
It is not easy to recognize such changes in personal relationships. Sometimes it can be very painful and you can hope to return to how it was before, so that you don’t feel inconvenienced. However, it is important to recognize that these changes and growth are inevitable and are the first step in understanding life. In essence, people like before now definitely have a deeper understanding of life that affects your value and synchronization. Please do not apologize for this. Do not apologize or panic for your own growth.
Outgrowing your partner in a relationship can be unacceptable because there are usually no big explosions or specific problems to blame for it.
What are the signs that you’ve outgrown your partner?
1: Your goals no longer align
Discussing future plans and goals are inevitable. This tends to include things like where you want to live, your dream job, whether you want to have children. There is disagreement and it is good and normal to compromise for each other. But everyone has some goals that don’t have to be compromised. In fact, we cannot reach a compromise with our partner’s goals and some other goals.
2: Holding back your career for them
You can change your career path, such as not applying for a promotion, because you can’t move to a city or you can’t spend a lot of time with bae. Then you realise that you’re trying so much to put them into consideration but it affecting your career too at the end you’ve got to prioritise which is more important, you can choose to take chances but this could puts you at risk of losing your partner.
3: You don’t get thrilled anymore
There are dull moments in every relationship, but when the thrill (ie passion, romance) is lost, there’s no intimacy whatsoever outgrowing has taken place. It may be necessary to accept that the season is coming to an end together if something that gets you excited before is gone, and improvement cannot solve it.
You can’t force yourself to be with someone you’re no longer happy with, you can try to act like it’s okay but in the long run you’ll suffer for it. You’ll find problems in everything they do, you always wonder what else is out there and whether you can leave them slowly without harming them. The truth is, the longer you lie to yourself, the more pain you will cause to everyone you relate to. When you tell yourself the truth, you can really learn a better life for yourself, and the people you are with can find others.

We’re now at a point where we can run (some thing like ChatGPT) using LLMs locally on our machines, taking advantage of the GPU usage for systems such as Apple Silicon, NVIDIA graphics, and all the other brands of GPU out there. Guess what? you don’t have to go through the entire setup of these models to make it work.
From my personal experience, while doing it the unoptimised way, I found out that for example Llama3 which is about 140GB takes about 5 hours to respond to one single prompt. Yes, that’s obvious if it is using CPU. However, there is a better and faster way to do it, with a few tools I will introduce you to in this writeup.
First, you want to get openwebui from the github page, clone this project to your machine
git clone https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui.git
This is an open source project that will give you the interface and management platform that looks like chatgpt from openAI at the moment. You can do many things with it, such as register an account locally, this data is stored on your machine (don’t be scared, your data is not going to anyone), sign in, save prompt, download more models, combine models and use them in your prompts.
To be able to use this, we need another tool called Ollama. Head on to the official web page and download it for your preferred operating system type. Once you do this, ollama should be running on your machine, the way to test this is to go to this localhost on your browser.
http://localhost:11434
You should get a message saying “Ollama is running“. Now you’re ready to pull in the models. On the model list page, you will find a list of the models that have been optimized for GPU usage in ollama. To get one, use the command
ollama pull llama3, ollama pull llama2, ollama pull phi3
These three commands are for pulling these three models, replace the model name you want and pull it. Once that is done, now you can run it using as you can see in the image below
ollama run llama3, ollama run llama2, ollama run phi3
Open openwebui project you cloned in your favourite IDE, in this case, I’m using Visual Studio Code. In the terminal/ command prompt of your VScode, navigate to the backend folder of the project using the command
cd backend
Now, you need to create a new conda environment, this will keep your python packages seperated just for this purpoose only. Assumption here is that you have conda installed on your machine, if you don’t, head on to the official page and select your OS type. Once you have conda installed, create a new environment using the following command
conda create --name openwebui python=3.11
// openwebui could be any name depending on you and then once its is created, activate it by using the command conda activate openwebui. You are now ready to install your python packages, run the following command:
pip install -r requirements.txt -U
The assumption here is that you have pip installed on your machine, and have used it before (if you don’t have pip, download it from here). You can see the requirements.txt file inside the backend folder, it contains all the packages needed. This command installs all the packages required for the project to function properly, -U means upgrade any package that is outdated.
You’re almost ready, you are done with the backend of the application, the front end part of the app (openwebui) is written in js so you need to install all the node dependencies. Do so by running
npm install
npm run build
Before running these commands, make sure that you have node installed, I recommend node version 18 and above, you can find it here, select your version and download, if you did it successfully, you can type node --version on your machine and it should respond with the appropriate version you installed.
The frontend setup is done.
To start the application, go to the backend folder in the terminal/Command Prompt and enter this commandbash start.sh
You should see something like the image below, go to your browser and enter the url http://0.0.0.0:8080. Then you register to the application, select a model to start using (hopefully you should see the list of models you pulled earlier)
Good Luck!!!!, Now you have LLM locally on your machine
