@dbard . pele o.


Dont get me started on event vendors in Naija.

Na so so million dem go dey call.

@aisha Banke meshida charges like 800k now? My goodness! Ridamnculous! What are they painting? Maybe cos i'm a MUA sha.

Even celeb MUA here wont charge that much for a wedding.

Do you know about the lady in Abuja called mamza beauty? I heard she isnt that expensive and charges like 60k per day(even that amount sef plenty)

na wa o.

Wow.. Some of d amounts am hearing here are ridiculous.
Isn't there a regulatory body f stuffs like did

You would've had my vote...
but then I saw d Duck face selfie

schendy:
This is just so wrong! And she even replaced two tiers with seperators or was that how you agreed it should be?

The original cake was 6, we wanted 4, she talked about using seperators that imitate/look like the cake itself NOT floaters with pin ups

The decorator had t call d next day t ask who made d cake..she felt embarrassed herself.

AlienSPY:
700 guests...haba op, did you invite PH?

@cake...it is best u meet the professionals, ask for pictures of past cakes done and use their ingenuity with little modifications than opting for internet samples done by professionals. Most of the cake designers you find in this part of the world are mere event contractors rather than being professionals in that department.

Now forget cake n guest...you are on your own now we don eat, drink and go

Ppl inviting ppl is wat happened..
Got to d reception venue n was like
The venue had abt 650 chairs n dey were all filled.. Guests had t stand outside

Sorry, I can't forget cake..wouldn't bother normally but u just won't understand how it feels..n t add insult t injury, she didn't even have d decency t get someone t represent her well..turns out he was one of her drivers.
Her attitude is just maddening.

charijee:
Wow!!!! .. ..Ruth really looks cute.......my course mate though.......
congrats dBard......plssssssss take good care of her......she was so gentle in school

Tnx..
I will

estheremma:
This wedding gown rocks,simple n classy n your wife has a super figure

rebella:
My question remains, did you or your wife look at her past work?
She is trying to win more customers , of course she wouldn't tell you she can't do it.
Sadly, there is no organisation you can report to that will take this case seriously. By putting her business here on nl, that's a lesson for her.
100k for that cake is tooo much, if she had done the original cake, then the price would have been ok.
I always recommend for people to taste and see actual pictures of cake designers work before finalising.

I definitely slacked in that respect.

Do you recommend legal action or...?

RoyalRoy:
Arghhhh.


This is fraud!!!

How does the two cake relate? I think you should just find out if they have an association or something and report her there.
She has breached the contract between you two, even though it might not be formal.

Make sure you push for a refund if not in total at least part of it.


This cake is ridiculous.

Wen she was approached, by a concerned party, she arrogantly insisted on refunding all,according t her , 'our money doesn't feed her'.. Am yet to see a dime tho.

Thinking of taking legal action or if dre are other agencies that takes up such cases.

rebella:
@dbard, lemme guess, you picked a picture from the net and didn't bother looking at the cakes she had done, before paying her.
Looking at the cakes again, she is obviously still a learner, who does tiered cakes and leaves the cake board out.
@op do you mind telling us how much you paid

Pic was from d net..agreed, but am not a careless person. The pic was shown to her,she agreed she could do it, it Was Discussed, colours agreed upon...n all that.
I don't know much abt cakes but she came recommended, so I accepted her.



Price in total was abt a 100k

Pics t buttress my point..

For my wedding on the 25th of October 2014, we contracted a company CakeEmpress @ Orazi in Port Harcourt to deliver on the cakes. We met personally with her,discussed, gave her pics of wat we wanted, settled on a price n before d D-day, paid in full. The day comes n d cake is unveiled t show something totally different from what we wanted. The set up was shabby, the cake layers seperated by 'floaters', the design totally off. To add insult t injury, wen called upon,she wasn't even available, instead it was a shabbily dressed,rascally looking fellow that couldn't even express himself that sauntered up. To say I was embarrassed, with guests ~700, is an understatement.
We made contact with her afterwards demanding she explain herself, refund,or whatever, but apart from an initial text,she has not even acted apologetically. Instead wen I met wit her wit a friend ,she was acting arrogant n insisted on refunding all..but till now....... Nothing.
Normally, I would've let this slide but am tired of situations like this n d general attitude of service providers t customers. It was a painful, embarrassing experience n I demand justice.

Want to know wat y'all think,n if dre are services to handle issues like this..

Thanks everyone

Marriage feels good

O.k.. 3 - 5 days countdown n am trying to kip it all 2gda amidst all...
Was hoping f a relatively quiet wedding but present estimates 500+ guests.
Are dre any advices I can get here on organization.. drinks, food , service.

I think Ive covered all d bases but still wake up wit mild panic attacks.

Any advice that'll help will b appreciated.

@o.p.. I can totally empathize with you, esp on d promises.
Wen I started my marriage preps, so many promises were abound but now.....
If u ain't careful , u end up resenting a lotta ppl due to d pressure.
Looking to God n noone else.

Funny tho, those u done expect r actually d ones that come thru f u.


Ur aunty deserve flogging sha.

Condolences. .
May his soul rest in perfect peace

I remember d science competition show btw schools on weekday evenings.. (JETS, I think it was called)
Shows wat Nigerians consider important
..and compare d payouts, millions f shows such as Maltina dancehall, project fame e.t.c, yet quiz /oda educational shows take a paltry hundred thousands at best.
No wonder we have kids now that can give u d best of shoki n skelewu but wen it comes to academic ish...zilch.

God dey..
