What a year it has been for me!! *Whew*! work has been crazy..it's not easy to make money the clean way mehn!!..I'm glad I finally get to kick start my holiday with a large cup of smoothie and a nice pile of suya. Oh how I've craived this moment so bad *sigh*. I hope you all have got your holidays planned. If you haven't, Its never too late to start.
It seems like part of my holiday would be spent indulging in different wedding activities/preparations, as two of my friends would be getting married this month. Again, I am on the train. If you haven't read my lessons from being a brides maid, you can look it up here
Speaking of weddings, one thing that puts me off about weddings, is having to make dresses. I find that quite a struggle. Thanks to most Nigerian tailors.
A few days ago, I had a very annoying experience with a tailor that was recommended to me by a friend. I won't go into the details to save you the essay but in light of that, I was inspired to publish this little write up titled:-The Average Nigerian Tailor. I hope it explains it all.
The Average Nigerian Tailor
Ever promising and ready to deal..
Specially with you, and probably 10 others...
Very skilled and highly fashionable, understands your styles, but chooses his anyways.
Has no problem using a tape, but prefers the use of his very accurate magic fingers.
He's a professional, don't get him wrong.
Popularly known for his excellent ability to keep to time.
With him, you can be sure to pick up after the D- day....
a draft perhaps, or possibly, the initial raw material.
He's extremely reliable, with him, you must have a plan B, a plan C or possibly, a plan D.
He's the ever chaotic man
The fickle devious man..
He's the Average Nigerian Tailor.
Beware!!!
Omg!!!!!!!! This is so damn true..jeez I couldn't have explained it any better. I love your sense of creativity. Indeed Nigerian tailors can be very frustrating. Its best to start a month before the D-day to avoid any disappointment.
