Toyin Lawani allegedly stole the design of a young fashion designer, according to a lady identified on twitter as Abimbola O'larry Turner.

Abimbola O'larry Turner claimed to be the elder sister of the designer who had earlier sent her designs to Toyin because she revers the established socialite as her idol.

Toyin allegedly used the design without giving credit to the rightful owner.

She wrote:

My baby sister designs clothes in her spare time. She sent some of her designs to her idol who makes dresses on IG. Today she found one of her designs had been made into a dress. And no credit to her. My baby girl is begging me not to make a fuss out of it. I’m so mad.

The person’s IG account is tiannahsplacempire. She sketched these designs in March and sent her these in May.

I heard she’s been doing this before now. I’m going to make sure she knows she bleeped with the wrong crowd this time.

Abimbola O'larry Turner then posted a video of Toyin's design which without giving credit to the young designer.

It is well

Wetin people no dey steal for naija!

Steal design
Steal hymen

sue her

E don be fr u

What nonsense?

Is that a new design? I've seen that style countless times this year. Not trying to justify the actions of that actress wanna be though

Consensual theft

If there is no patent there is no stealing

They are advertising

rubbish

Dahh
I'll never understand this fashion offa thn that girls can kill themselves for

The Toyin Lawani just used her hand to do herself.
Copyright and Intellectual theft all the way.

Meanwhile, this month sef. Gist left and right. I'm even tired already

This one na designs.

Cloth wey no get. Hand

Everybody Sha wan trend by all means Sha.. How does that yeye drawing relate to the final product.. It looks like a normal design to me

The only reason this can be proven is because she send it to her personally, your sister made a mistake, she shouldn't have send it to her in the first place, I understand the pain but letting things slide is the best option...i wish her the best in future endeavours

This design has been around for a long time.

Modified

Saw some changes in the design. Ngwa Toyin apologise and compensate her.

but this is a common design in Nigeria, as a guy i have seen it on so many people.

TRIBUTE TO NWAAMAIKPE

This is not a death tribute, it’s only a tribute of recognition to a real and rare talent.
First, I retract my previous comments and perspectives about him which is debasing because I’ve always seen him as one jobless childish imbe.cile who only uses all the time in his broke idle life for spewing trash on NL. The little time I knew him here, I disliked him and insulted him because he’s a bigot and many of his posts are outrageous and weird, but beyond his shitty self, I now view him as one mysterious genius. He is a deep intellectual.
Nwaamaikpe many times sound stupid but if one has ever gone through his posts, one will know that he is not stupid. Every of his post has that trace of talent and ingenuity no matter how dumb it may look.
Nwaamaikpe is a clever and composed writer. He is vastly informed; he’s learned; he’s creative; he’s weird; he has great sense of humour; his choice of words is perfect and astounding and at the same time he’s so idle that he has all the time in this life to post on almost every NL thread, and perhaps he still posts on other social media too. I don’t think there is any section or topic on NL Nwaamaikpe won’t know something about, either past events or recent events.
Again, he’s cunningly sarcastic; and his posts are sometimes unpredictable – you won’t know what he’s driving at until you read to the end. He also has a unique way of thinking distinct from others. He is very perspective. There are some surprising things Nwaamaikpe will notice and bring out from a thread that majority will not notice. His posts sometimes are like puzzle to be cracked. There are lots to say about him. The guy is a riddle!
Unlike majority of NLanders, he has a stable style of writing. He rarely posts gifs, pics or funny smileys and he rarely replies back. Nwaamaikpe won’t use funny pics to make his post funny, he doesn’t even need to sound funny; his posts always seem serious but will most times leave you suddenly bursting into laughter.
Many great minds on the net but fvck it, it’s hard to compare Nwaamaikpe because he’s like all-in-one package. Like having all the characters in one person – the funny ones, the serious ones, the unserious ones, the weird ones, the intelligent ones all stuffed into one person.
He’s one astute mind who perhaps might have been one of most famed African writers if he had pursed his career. He has that potential.
Many great people are only missed and appreciated when they’re gone. Da Vinci‘s works are now being unravelled when he’s no more. I’m starting to unravel great potential in this guy.
The unfortunate surprise is how he ended up as a social media nomad who wanders from thread to thread and from forum to forum. Wherever his sorry-ass may be now, it really needs being whipped for settling down for the less and wasting his rare talent. He should have found himself a better path instead.
Anyway, I do believe he’s doing something reasonable and productive by now.
Jobless or weird or stupid or outrageous or bigoted or however he may look, one thing is that he is a great talented mind.

Are you serious?
Is somebody kidding me? And you have this much time to concoct this?

Abeg this is a weak allegation

The day I exposed who he is was the last day he stopped posting on nairaland

I love toyin lawani so much I am a fan of her enterprise and business skill but If you are sure its urs you could sue her, she should have given u credit for it or affiliate or something else, she nor try

NOC1:

I thought so too. But there are a few changes she made. Flare on both sides have double layers while the front and back have just one layer.
