Please read this painful story as shared on Twitter by user based in Lagos, Damilola.

In the list are the items a Lagos tailor demands from her apprentices before giving them their freedom. List is obviously more than what many Nigerian men pay as bride price.

I wouldn't want to believe this, but if its true, then it means the recession is really biting hard on the tailor.

Maybe, he/she is tryna save up for the next generation, and other generations to come.

Did you look at it closely? Do a calculation? I'm a woman, I go to the market on the regular, what you are looking at on that list is give or take ...300k+-

20 meat pie? From Tastee or Tantis? Really? 3 cartons of milk ? For what?

I've seen some outrageous lists in my time but this is a Joke! I still call bull!!

P.S, Maltina made 2 entries, 2 crates & 6 crates. wink

Nigerians and their backward Mentality. To free an apprentice, you should make them do lots of skillful works in that line of trade before giving them freedom.

That's what this yoruba people do in the name of "freedom". Believe it or not.

Look at the numbering of the Maltina and you'll see it falls under different categories. That means it's for different set of people

This is not a Nigerian thing but a Yoruba thing. What the igbo people do for freedom is set up a shop for the apprentice ( I might be wrong tho) but I know the Igbos don't demand this kind of things for freedom....


Maybe to come and knock door for wedding grin

.Some posters above are already debunking the obvious fact forgetting that most people here have either lived or still living in some parts of South West and should have knowledge of most of your cultures


My mechanic was once a victim of these practices and his senior servants are still facing the same challenges

another poster quickly name it (April fool) ...propagandists everywhere

It's not a Nigeria thingy...each geographical region with unique life style


in this regard, Igbos offers a soft landing for an apprentice by helping to finance not just h/her freedom but assisting the apprentice to get established after serving the agreed number of years with their masters


meanwhile, the list of items required for marriage in Igbo land can be said to be on the high side while Yorubas might not request half of it from a suitor, so it's vis-veser


Housas in the other way round would frustrate you with religion

Fabrication ke.

I have a cousin who learnt tailoring. She came to my office one morning and brought the list. Obviously, she was running around to gather the money. The list was ridiculous: crates of eggs for alaga, crates of eggs for Oga agba, this for aladura, that for aladura agba. This list is even small. I think I even saw something like industrial sewing machine on my cousin's list. I told her it was exploitation of the highest order but she told me she must do it or they won't let her have a shop of her own.
