“He Knows Your Capability”: Nigerian Man Gets Scared, Runs Away Over Text Tailor Sent Him, Shares It

• A Nigerian man has shared the outrageous bill his tailor sent to him that discouraged him from doing business with the fellow
• The tailor sent him a bill of N225k as the total cost to sew a single "babbar riga" attire, which stunned many people
• The man said he did not bother to ask for the cost of sewing the native attire because the tailor was a close friend

A Nigerian man sent social media users into a frenzy after releasing the bill his tailor sent him for sewing one babbar riga (a voluminous and prestigious piece of clothing worn by men in Hausa, Yoruba and Nupe societies in northern Nigeria).

Gimba Kakanda, via his verified Twitter handle, shared his chat with the tailor while responding to another netizen who advised him to buy a Wamball kaftan.

In the chat, the tailor gave the breakdown as N190k for the clothes, N30k for sewing, N35k for the cap, making it a total of N255k.

The tailor submitted by telling the man how it is an honour doing business with him. The man was not moved by such pleasantries and took to his heels. He wrote:

"The last time a tailor gave me this bill for a single Babbar riga, I didn’t go back to the slaughterhouse again. He’s been leaving me missed calls since then."

Following up on his tweet in the comment section, he wrote about the tailor thus:

"Because he’s my guy, I didn’t even bother to ask for the cost of producing a babbar riga. I actually expected half the price because it was my first time patronizing him."

Nigerian lady dumps law degree for tailoring

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a Nigerian lady had dumped her degree in law for tailoring.

The lady identified as Maryam Folashade said after spending seven years studying law at the university, she finally decided to become a fashion designer.

In a video she posted, Maryam was seen in a place that looks like a shop. In the shop, there were many sewing machines.

When she stepped into the shop, she happily occupied one of the machines as if she has been waiting all her life to do so.
