Nollywood actress Adesua Etomi who married her beau, Banky W traditionally today and is having the time of her life, will be surprised to know that her wedding outfit designer @Tojufoyeh was called out by another designer @Segungele accusing her of stealing his design.
Toju Foyeh who did not take this lightly in this mood of celebration, gave the man a little taste of her pudding, warding him off her page forever incase of future re-occurrence.
Although Segun said he meant no harm, Foyeh obviously will have none of it.
See their exchange below.

Fabric + sketch for @adesuaetomi Edo traditional outfit.
We had to alter the sketch and make it a tube instead so she could wear her edo coral beads on her neck
Adesua is a unique bride..she wanted her outfit to be avant garde/structured which was a bit of a challenge as My aesthetic is more ‘feminine’, but we thank God it turned out great ❤️❤️#BAAD2017#tojufoyeh#tfofcourse”

LOL, Mr SegunGele, this was the inspiration for the look and as you can clearly see a modified version was sketched for her but had to resort to it being a tube. As my caption states, It was made by me, not designed by me so before trying to get 5 seconds of UNMERITED fame, get your facts right and please for future reference purposes get my name off your page, an old man like you should be focusing on his craft and encouraging people! Don’t be an agbaya Sir.. enjoy the day!
