@ cutelukz . The best method to stop buying Aso ebi is, you shouldn't pick any aso ebi when u have any ceremony (wedding, burial or birthday) . I've stopped buying aso ebi since last year and if anyone wants to get angry at me, I'll just tell them I don't like and that's why I didn't pick it during so so so ceremony. |

Optimisticgondy: They have devised new means to combat that excuse Now they present 4 or 5 different ones to pick from Even here in the USA ,it is ridiculous In some wedding virtually all the guests are in one asho ebi or another,different colors I will just show up with an evening dress or a pair of flowing trousers and a dressy top I hate head scarfs to begin with I like to be free not balancing a helicopter on my head 2 Likes |

babyosisi:Na wah o....well, most times, I tell them I don't like buying Aso Ebi or I tell them one relative or pastor told me neither to buy Aso Ebi nor pick it during my own ceremony again |
Re: My Take On Asoebi by Nobody: 7:15pm On May 14, 2015 |
i still dont like the idea of forcing people to buy |

The only time I saw my mum wear a uniform was during some Igbo women meetings. For weddings maybe the bride and her girls or immediate family just sew some uniform if they like for aesthetics sake. But to be pursuing guests to buy a uniform for wedding, thanksgiving, 1 day old baby ceremony is just weird to me. Sometimes in church, I just watch Igbo people and Yoruba people during their thanksgiving where the pastor has to pray for them. The Igbo ones would just were normal every-sunday clothes, the Yoruba ones, chineke God. The one ceremony that made me bow for Yoruba asoebi craze was where different aso-ebi was made for the thanksgiving service and party afterwards. The celebration was for a girl who turned 10. Both extended family and friends sewed the aso-ebi for both ceremonies. Omo, I bow that day.. 3 Likes |

My friend is still fighting me since 2013 just because I refused to buy an ugly lace asoebi. Although I had promised her that I would buy lace. Only for me to see d lace. Very dull grey. Who uses dull grey for a wedding. I lied that I have something like that at home. Couldn't just cough out 15k for nothing. |

semitunde: What happened to invitation cards? |
Re: My Take On Asoebi by semitunde: 8:06pm On May 14, 2015 |
adorable29: Sometimes its sent before the payment of the aso ebi (if you are a high level clientele, Lol). The first wedding having this style, we were the event managers, so we didn't need a pass, we brought most of the vendors including private security. We made sure most of the important guys in each family were noted and we had their nos just in case a family member came without a pass. We also made sure there was one rep for each side of the family who when required would come and identify the person coming in. In the second wedding we were family friend. We got all the package including the gifts before even the payment for the aso ebi. My sis being on the train also meant we had automatic passes. |

Loooool. Una no go kill person with laugh. Well as for me, I ask friends to send the pics of the ankara before saying my mind. And if the wedding is outside lagos, will simply buy thhe asoebi and certainly be in my house that day. I cannot come and kill myself. Funniest is they dont sell 3yards again, but atimes I force them to sell 3/4 yards cos what will I do wit 6yards And its not everry wedding u buy asoebi. Dazz all |
Re: My Take On Asoebi by mhsanni(f): 8:42pm On May 14, 2015 |
Despite being a Yoruba lady, i really dislike the idea of asoebi.. I dont buy no matter whose wedding it is... Not evn my close friends or my cousins' weddings did i buy. My own wedding ceremony was a very big and successful event yet no asoebi. So they all know me for who I am and hardly tell me to cm and buy again. At most i wud help u wear your colour if i have in my wardrobe and if i dont wud wear wateva i have... |
Re: My Take On Asoebi by sanandreas(m): 8:45pm On May 14, 2015 |
I dont buy the idea at all. I won't try such in my wedding |
Re: My Take On Asoebi by Nobody: 8:51pm On May 14, 2015 |
I don't partake in that shit unless you are family which is still not a guarantee. I can buy the gele to tie to my bag's strap |

Aso ebi literally means Family dress in other words do not buy from any person who is not your family.It was supposed to be a LEVY to assist with the cost of events like burials and weddings.I do not understand how a person who is not my ebi will ask me to buy aso ebi,I sometimes buy but only ankara and that is rare. I can buy the cap if the price is reasonable. I am more likely to buy for burial ceremonies because these are expected but unexpected so they need more support. 2 Likes |

Stillfire: It is a borrowed culture for Igbos Women's church group and women's meeting are the only people that wore uniforms Just reading here that Yoruba men also wear asho ebi That one never reach igbo people side My husband and I don't even have uniform Not one And many Igbo couples I know don't have husband and wife uniforms Never saw my parents in uniform for one day |

There is this principle I've got. If am yet to pay my major bills, I don't go for any ASO-ebi. On a normal day, there is nothing bad in having it but I just can't explain when I have some expenses to cover. Abeg, ASO-ebi park well jare. |
