...And I thought I was the only one sick of this asoebi trend. I remember how my ex was always buying asoebi and later complaining of being broke. I used to be a very nice guy, but I've learnt over time not to accept whatever I'm not cool with. Whenever requests like this are made, I simply decline. You can get angry if it so suits you. ...The part where your friend threatened to bounce you for not purchasing asoebi really got me laughing 2 Likes |

@OP, no mind them. Me and u are same on that school of tot. Pple and follow follow. That was how I bought one from a friend who wanted to get married at Ijebu ode. 10 days to the wedding he called me to give him back 2yrds out of the 6yrds I bought for 10k ,yet no refund. I travelled to Ijebu and lodged in a hotel. At the end of the whole thing I spent about 32k for a wedding that was not my own. Since then I promised never to try that shit again. Infact if wedding no dey close to my reach, I no dey attend sef. At the end of the day na wine opener them gv me as person wey buy asoebi.nonsense. 8 Likes 2 Shares |

I've made up my mind long time ago not involve myself in Aso-ebi syndrome again. I ends up not wearing most of those Asoebi clothes after the celebration hence buying it is a waste of money for me. |

Well me I like the idea of "aso ebi" because it makes me have that sense of belonging. But the idea of forcing the material on me especially when you've been told I'm not financially ready for it at that moment is what puts me off. 1 Like |

One of the unforgettables happened last year, our ex-landlord informed me and hubby about the daughter's upcoming wedding. There were 2 variants of aso ebi, Ankara (2500+gele) and lace (10k+aso oke cap) for men and (12k+aso oke head tie for women). We opted for Ankara but the mother of the bride to be insisted on lace saying the Ankara was for the groom's friends. (Lie). We bought the lace, package for men, 10k and half the one for women 6k, making 16k. About 10 days later (still before the wedding), I was walking through a market and lo and behold, the same lace material. Curiosity got the better of me and I asked for the price, after negotiations, 3500! In my mind I was like yepaa. I sha excused myself on the premise that I would come back for it. So on my husband's own alone, they made at least 6k while my own would have been like 3.5k. And this so called ex-landlord and wife are some of the most greedy, penny pinching and stingy people to ever walk the face of the earth. On the day of the wedding, we scrambled for seat, ate almost tasteless food and were given souvenirs that would cost less than 1500, both of us together o! And in their mind, they did society wedding. A wedding where guests were made to pay through their noses just to grace their occasion. 8 Likes 2 Shares |

I spent N20,000 on my friend's asoebi last year only for the marriage to end 8 months later. Is all the stress worth it. 8 Likes |

I don't support aso ebi, but playing devils advocate here. Some ppl make the aso ebi quite high and then tie it to entry so as to reduce the people coming to the number and class they want. I've been to two weddings where the invite and gate pass were supplied with the aso ebi after payment. Without the gate pass you couldn't get in. The alternative was to call a high ranking member of the family or the event manager to let you in on personal recognition; else you'd be turned back by security. |

cutelukz: The annoying part is that it's not even my culture Igbos never did this asho ebi of a thing except at funerals where immediate family wore the same cloth I remember as a child when my grandpa died,my dad and his siblings wore the same shirt We never did it at igbankwu,at weddings,at child dedications or have visitors at funerals or birthdays wearing uniforms It is a borrowed culture that has no significance in Igboland and yet our people are doing it Everyone that knows me know that I will not ask anyone to wear asho ebi for my event I don't need it It has destroyed Relationships You refuse their asho ebi ,you become an enemy of progress It is a waste of money People gather cheap fabric at exorbitant prices that they won't weAr any where else because everyone has it After you buy it you need to get the shoes and accessories to go with it and also buy a gift and spray the people Total waste I hate asho ebi I wish they will stop asking me to wear to wear it for them Average cost of asho ebi in the USA is $150 Then you spend at least $75 to sew it Handbag,shoes,jewelry and co another $150- 200 For a wedding that is neither your son's or your daughter's Money I can use to take care of my family or help someone in need Absolute waste IMHO I have asho ebi that before I decided to wear it a second time,the couples have already divorced 3 Likes |
