  • Here’s A Handy Guide For Dealing With Nigerian Tailors
    Nigerian tailors have been disappointing us since time immemorial. If their sewing machine isn’t bad, their mother is sick or they stole their gen and that’s why your cloth is not ready. If you are tired of Nigerian tailors’ wahala, then this one is for you.

    If you need the cloth in two months tell them you need it in two weeks.

    By the time you really need your clothes, they’ll be ready.

    Always remember that every word that comes out of their mouth is a lie.

    If they tell you, you need ten yards that means you need eight.

    If they start asking too many questions about the style you want to make that means they can’t sew it. Leave.

    No matter how many times they tell you ‘yes ma I can sew it’.

    Never use a tailor without a shop or who’s squatting in someone’s shop.

    The day you drop your material and a deposit is the last day you’ll see them.

    If you are using the tailor for the first time, give them cheap ankara that someone dashed you.

    Don’t give them that lace that you bought for 50k. If not your case will be one of had I known.

    Don’t give them any breathing space. Sit on their heads.

    Call them morning, afternoon and night. If their shop isn’t far pop in every now and then until your cloth is ready.

    Don’t collect your cloth on the day you need it.

    If it’s not too big, it’ll be too small. Or the jumpsuit you asked for might have turned to gown.

    If you need something sewn quickly keep it very simple.

    If you give a Nigerian tailor three days to sew agbada with embroidery you won’t like what you’ll collect.

    Never ever pay in full, don’t even pay half.

    If you do, whatever state your cloth was in when you paid is how it’ll stay until you call police.

    If you check in on your tailor and they haven’t even cut your material collect it back and flee.

    4 months from now you’ll still be begging for the cloth.

    If they disappoint you and break your heart once, treat them like a bad ex and never go back.

    What are you still doing with that tailor that didn’t let you wear the asoebi you bought to that wedding? Remember the pain of the small chops tray passing you by because you didn’t wear asoebi? Good hold on to that vex.

    Show them no mercy.

    If they tell you their mother is sick, they are lying. They got robbed? Lying. Hold their neck and collect your cloth.

    Finally, always be wary.

    That tailor that hasn’t disappointed you in ten years will do so one day. It’s not their fault it’s just their nature.
  • What’s not to love about Nigerian weddings. There is always free food, free booze, and good vibes. What I particularly love about Nigerian weddings is the music and in my opinion, no Nigerian wedding playlist can be complete without these songs.

    No One Like You – P Square

    The video alone is enough reason to add this song to your wedding playlist.

    Wedding Day – 9ice

    This song was made for Nigerian weddings.

    Oruka – Sunny Nneji

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GxGkcYbvZU8
    I can remember how this song got played at every Nigerian wedding for years after this hit song was dropped.

    Ada Ada – Flavour

    Picking just one Flavour song to add to this list was hard. Every Flavour song is perfect for your wedding playlist.

    Baby Girl – Nel Oliver

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqzBFXa2js0
    Here’s a classic for you. Nel Oliver’s ‘Baby Girl’ is evergreen.

    Olomi – Tosin Martins

    If you understand Yoruba then you don’t need to be convinced to add this song to your wedding playlist.

    Forever – Paul Play

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHaB2YGpDWg
    Because it’s your wedding day and you and your partner plan to be together forever.

    Baby Jowo(remix) – Sir Victor Olaiya ft 2face

    It was hard picking between the remix of this classic song and the original, in the end, 2face’s unique addition to the song won us over.

    Be Your Man – Dipo

    Dipo might not be as popular as the other artists on this list, but ‘Be Your Man’ makes for the most perfect love song ever.

    Ololufe – Wande Coal

    Its been 9 years since Wande Coal dropped Ololufe (yes you are old) but its still hard to imagine a Nigerian wedding playlist without it.

    My Darling – Tiwa Savage

    Tiwa Savage’s voice is at its finest in ‘My Darling’ and we can bet you the lyrics perfectly convey everything you feel about your husband/wife-to-be.

    Ekuro – Davido

    From Ekuro to Aye to If to Fall Davido keeps dropping the most perfect wedding playlist songs.

    Love Me Jeje – Seyi Sodimu

    You already know there was no way we could have left this classic of our list.

    Obianuju – Duncan Mighty

    This is almost every Nigerian’s favorite Duncan Mighty song and also the sweetest love song for those who might not understand all of the lyrics.

    Orente – Adekunle Gold

    Adekunle Gold’s Orente always has we single pringles clutching to our pillows at night wondering when the Lord will give us our own bae.

    Iyawo Mi – Timi Dakolo

    Fun fact- Timi Dakolo wrote this song for his wife.

    Did we leave any song out?

  • We recently wrote about the nationwide protests that Nigerian artiste, 2Face hopes to spearhead on the 6th of February (quick, read it here).

    It appears that Nigerians might not be feeling this move by 2Face at all.

    People are questioning his moral right to lead the nationwide protests.

    https://twitter.com/SubDeliveryMan/status/826514568465690624

    That ‘have you governed your own personal life’ was so savage on so many levels!

    Please, so 2Baba’s offence in life is having 7 kids from multiple women, and then settling down with one of them?

    But something new is cooking sha: Governor Ayo Fayose wants to join the protests!

    Wait, it’s like this man doesn’t know he is part of the government we are protesting against abi?

    Small time now, they’ll say Baba Buhari has also joined the protests.

    https://twitter.com/lopexiyke/status/826757623559118848
    (This is obviously not true.)

    A lot of people have criticised 2face for the intended protests because they think it has political undertones, but he also has a lot of support.

    https://twitter.com/omimeyaya/status/826537639524315137

    People are wondering how his personal lifestyle is anybody’s business.

    https://twitter.com/Playm8z/status/826432853948895234

    But who is better qualified, really?

    The guy has sharply released a 10-part video on his Instagram, assuring Nigerians that this protest is genuine.

    https://www.instagram.com/p/BP72LYKjg96/?taken-by=official2baba

    For people who are interested, the protests will start by 8am at the National Stadium, Surulere. Please stay safe if you’ll be there.
