Nigerian Tailor Palaver

-
                               

I wouldn't say entirely say my day was ruined but it will be safe to say my day almost went sour. What happened? Tailor problems!!!

I had wanted to wear something nice,gram worthy and something flashy.  My flashy Ankara was there but, the style wasn't so great which pissed me off at first but then I got angrier (if there is a word like that) when I saw the whole adjustments...its not like it solved the problem besides the lady has been with my other unsewn clothing for the past three years with full payments given to her, what else does she want?  I don't mean to nag but I came up with some possible solutions to these lamentations of Nigerians.

1. Buy already sewn clothes.
There a lot of them in the market, trade centres, show rooms..just look out for them and Yes, at cheap prices.

2. Sew your own clothes
Is that even possible ? Yes!!
I don't have the time? Create time. It helps your mind and keeps you creative.

3. Patronize good and well known fashion designers. 
It may not sound right, but going to these people may save you both cost and stress with little or no adjustments given to your clothes unlike the tailors. Trust me, I think it saves costs.

4. Do not trust any tailor.
Hammer it into their skull if it will help but make sure you pay regular attention to avoid stories that touch and don't pay till you get your clothes.

Exciting Ways To Start Your Day

                Monty winters               Pray : It may sound obnoxious but prayer gives me hope that my day will be better. It also jiggles and make me unusually prepared to take on my day bravely.   Excersise / yoga : As we are currently battling with the ASUU strike, I had to make good use of my time, so I started teaching in a nursery and primary school where I take the nursery 2 section. However,making my way out of bed is usually rigorous and sometimes this is after praying.  So what I do to remove laziness and bleakness is exercise or do yoga, not forgetting the music. Yoga itself is refreshing, and soothes my aching self. Cold shower : this works wonders.  So if after my exercise and cold shower and I still feel unenthusiastic, then I know my village people are on my matter. Cold showers would keep your mind awake and leave you refreshed.  Little wonder it is a combatant of konji *lol*😛 Take Mint : I don't have scientific back ups for this but mint helps

                    Happy Birthday Nigeria!!! I don't particularly remember having a  memorable experience on this day except the bombing that happened in Abuja in 2010. I remembered I wanted to go out to millennium park by 2pm with my friends and new found boyfriend EA, but unfortunately,the devil reared its ugly head in my mum that day. You know, whenever I am home and I plan on going out, I'd ask my parents if they wanted me to do anything for them and I would do so as early as 6am so I'd be left off happily ........ I did not really Want to hear 'Chere kan bia '.    So my mum said yes oh, she had clothes she wanted to me to wash.  Brethren in the lord, if you see this these clothes, you would pity for me. It did not stop there, that same morning, my mum made this nasty pap aka akamu, filled with sugar and milk, just the way I like it. Y'all know the after effects of akamu,akara and bread. I told myself I still had 4hours, shey is it not this sma

Preparation time : 40 minutes to 1hour depending on how hungry you are *winks* Ingredients : Rice Vegetable oil Mackerel fish = #200 Carrots =#50 Green beans = #50 Green pepper = #50 Pepper (I used the normal red one)  = #50 Onion Fresh garlic Fresh ginger Seasonings (I bought these particular ones in the market for #50 each and they were good.. Nutmeg, thyme, ginger and shallots ) Maggi (I used Knorr) Salt **** for those things I did not put a price tag on, I had them already and used. **** Practically, I used 400 naira to make this fried rice... Awesome right?  See it doesn't matter how much you use in making your food despite not having all the ingredients needed but the love with which you used in cooking it is all that matters.
