Why Nigerian Tailors Will Not ‘Make Heaven’

-
Nigerian tailors are probably the most traumatic thing that has happened to an average citizen after bad governance and epileptic power supply.
Save you live under some huge rocks, you must have noticed a trending story about a tailor who disappointed a bride on her wedding eve and rather gave her dress which she was supposed to wear for her wedding reception to popular actress Mercy Aigbe.
The bride apparently got her supposedly best day in life ruined by a singular ‘mistake’ of a tailor who seemingly had little or no iota of remorse.
How can you possibly give someone’s dress to another knowing full well that the owner would need it desperately for a serious occasion, her wedding day for that matter?
Who does that?…. Of course only Nigerian tailors.
It would not be wrong to think that Mercy possibly offered her a mouth-watering deal which made her lose her senses of integrity at a flash.
My bitter experiences with tonnes of Nigerian tailors have made me resolve to learn how to sew no matter what it costs.
If a Nigerian tailor has not dealt with you before, then you must really be from the mars!
The ‘my word is my bond’ axiom is a strange tale to most of these tailors whose words are exactly the opposite of their actions.
There is no shade of disappointment that I have not gotten into with Nigerian tailors but each time, I waved it aside hoping that the next tailor would prove me just wrong and deliver their promises.
Integrity is non-existent in the dictionaries of most Nigerian tailors and it is more heartbreaking that they seem to have gotten used to the lifestyle such that they no longer care whose ox is gored.
A tailor had my materials for long and in high hopes that I was going to have new dresses added to my wardrobe, I stormed her office in great excitement which soon disappeared into hot tears when she asked me to sort my untouched materials from the pile of of a thousand others. Damn!
Who would make heaven in such manner?
These people are experts in dealing with people’s emotions. I have wept profusely for tailors countless times and after each episode, I will resolve not to have anything to do with tailors again, but new and trendy styles keep tormenting my vision on a daily basis and of course I will go looking for them again.
Is it the lies that flow from their mouths like they studied some lie-related courses in school, or the nonchalance with which they respond to clients — Everything is just wrong.
What do they stand to gain though?
Devil will be so glad to take some selfies with too many Nigerian tailors because they must have earned his admiration with their disappointment skills.
Urrhhmm…there might be exceptions though, but like the stars, they are difficult to come by these days.

October 20, 2020 - National Blood and Bullets Day

  We shall remind you at 61 how you turned a green and white flag into red and green with the blood of unarmed citizens. You blood sucking lots masked up in the name of leaders. We shall remind you monsters how you murdered the supposedly leaders of tomorrow. Simply because they were asking to be heard. Simply because they asked for a good country. We aren't even talking about 'better' because it has to be good before it becomes better. You killed innocent citizens simply because they demanded responsibility from a very irresponsible government. At this point, I honestly do not care. Nigeria needs help and the sooner we get it, the better. It's about time this country got shut down if these power-drunk octogenarians and septuagenarians won't let us thrive! My late grandmother's age mates are at the helms of affairs, leading people who are more enlightened than them in every damn area. I can't seem to stop the tears. A country whose president has kept mute am

Video Of Couple Making Blood Covenant To Avoid Infidelity Goes Viral Across Social Media [WATCH]

A Cameroonian couple broke the internet today with a video of them making a blood covenant to seal up their love and possibly prevent either of them from cheating. The couple took to Facebook to share the video of themselves sucking at their own blood at the same time. From the video, the duo apparently cut themselves and the woman appeared to be in pains as the blood flowed freely. Perhaps, the couple did not trust themselves enough to have a relationship without either party cheating on them. Blood covenant is an archaic practice which dates back to the 60's when our forefathers practised it. The action by the couple sparked confusion because not only is the practice outdated, it is also barbaric. What do you think must have prompted these couple into such act? Watch the video below:

Now That Big Brother Naija Is Over Can We Kiss And Make Up

The past three months have been all kinds of eventful — from intriguing, to annoying and of course noisy. The Big Brother Naija reality show came with ‘Double Wahala’ for the third edition of the show and it got a lot of Nigerian youths stuck up in the euphoria that it brought. Daily across social media platforms, one would keep stumbling upon discussions on the housemates — CeeC, Tobi, Miracle, Nina, Teddy A, BamBam and the rest of them. Apparently, we all have our getaways for fun and the political atmosphere inherent in the country at the moment has not made it any easier for youths to do something more meaningful with their lives other than join the discussions whether passively or actively. A bunch of us endlessly hoped for the grand finale of the show so we would breathe and have more meaningful discussions on our social media timelines. Not like the Big Brother Naija issues weren’t meaningful though, but some people’s idea of fun is definitely far from it. Oh w
