American professor Uju Anya recently took to X (formerly Twitter) to call out a Nigerian tailor for allegedly scamming her after paying $400 for a wedding dress that was never delivered. In a series of posts, Anya expressed her frustration and disappointment over what she described as a breach of trust.
According to her, she had been working with the tailor since 2017, and their professional relationship had been smooth for years. However, last year, things took a turn for the worse. Anya stated that she paid the tailor $400 in full for a custom wedding dress intended for a December wedding. Despite the upfront payment and multiple reassurances from the tailor, the dress was never delivered.
Anya’s posts captured her anger and dismay as she described the experience. She emphasized how she had trusted the tailor based on their long-standing relationship, only to feel betrayed when he failed to fulfill his promise. She also revealed that attempts to reach a resolution had been futile, leaving her no choice but to bring the matter to public attention.
The professor’s public complaint has sparked reactions online, with many users expressing sympathy for her plight while also criticizing the tailor for his alleged actions. Some shared similar experiences with tailors and vendors, highlighting the challenges of holding people accountable in such situations. Others called for the tailor to come forward and either deliver the dress or issue a refund.
