A bride whose wedding was scheduled for 29th December 2017, has called out herfashion designer, Maryam Elisha (@rikaotobyme) for giving out a gown meant for her wedding to Nollywood actress, Mercy Aigbe for her 40th birthday photoshoot.
Below is her story
“This was too bad. On the 29th of December 2017 which happens to be a day to my wedding, a greedy designer decided to ruin my big day. I cried all day no stop. I bought this lovely fabric from @bshani_bridalfbrics and asked her to deliver to this designer @rikaotobyme after I had concluded the style and price with @rikaotobyme I made a 50% payment to her as soon the fabric got to her.
Told her its my wedding reception dress she assured me it will be ready on 26th. on that 26th i chatted her up to ask for my dress she replied saying it was ready as u can see on the chat above, she also said she will send a pics, eventually now sent a video d next day which was 27th u can also see that on the chat above. I sent the balance 50% to her on 28th when I had seen the dress and was satisfied, she couldn’t send that day cos all flights coming to Benin that day were cancelled. So we were now left with 29th a day to my wedding, I called her by 6am that morning and she told me d delivery Guy has gone to d park to send my dress that she will send the waybill details(sending details ) across shortly.
I waited till 9am no words from her. i started calling to ask for the waybill details she wasn’t taking my calls, atimes she even cut the calls. I sent several messages no response at 1pm I started crying cos the situation got beyond my control. My hubby,friends and family requested for the number and also started calling her but she obviously decided not to take any calls again.
Until 4pm when I was drained in tears she then called and was apologising that she didn’t know what to say to me that y she refuse taking calls, she continued saying the delivery guy she gave my dress to is no where to be found. when she heard how I was crying she then suggested to give me one of her old dresses for me to use for the day, I had no choice cos I was desperate I then accepted it.i got d dress on my wedding morning. I went on IG yesterdy only to see @realmercyaigbewearing my dress with the same fabric I bought and she tagged same designer @rikaotobyme.how much did she pay u to disappoint a bride on her wedding day? U are heartlessly wicked and u will sure not get away with this @rikaotobyme”
Meanwhile, Nollywood actress Mercy Aigbe is celebrating her 40th today!
To celebrate her birthday, the actress shared stunning photos of herself on her Instagram. She wrote:
Today I am the witness to the unfolding of a new chapter in my life and I’m very grateful for this . For many years I have looked forward to the day I will turn 40 and now I am happy it has finally come. Just like I am looking forward to the many more years God will allow me to see in the land of the living. I bless God for his amazing grace, his undiluted mercy,unmerited favor and this great opportunity .
I see life as being an opportunity to work on oneself and one’s character. It is the ability to see the distinction in people, to accept them and forgive them when necessary. A chance to touch lives and put smiles on the faces of people in my own little way…….Life is developing in hard work.
The past years have been nothing short of an amazing one and God has been with me through thick and thin. Giving me the grace to overcome every obstacle and hurdles life throws at me. I am thankful for Life, My children, my family and friends , my fans and loved ones. It’s such a gift to have great people around you. Thank you all for your support and love … Y’all make me feel so special and blessed, I love each and everyone of you…….
This is a New Beginning …..
A New Dawn…………..
Happy New year Guys and Happy Birthday to me ??
