If you invite me to come buy aso ebi,my brother/sister you dey waste your time.

Also ebi is simply financial recklessness.

Spending money on frivolity.

Did u have a girlfriend??

KubwaBoy:
It depends on if the bride is a virgin or not. If she's not a virgin, what's her body count?
There is no point in spending 250k to buy AsoEbi for a community borehole.

It depends on the following in my opinion:

1. How close the celebrant is to you
2. Affordability . How much can you conveniently without losing sleep bring out of your pocket. 500,000 is chicken change to some people for eg

3. The value of the fabric
4. Personal choice and values!
madam 500000 os not chicken change to some persons if not celebrities wont wail on social media when they lose chains worth millions or jail house helps they suspect. . They buy something so expensive doesnt mean they care less about losing it.or what does chicken change mean...




That statement reminds me of an ingrate ex grin..o laugh her everyday when I see the rich smooth nigga dey chop her and blind her with petty changes I give more

if you know your woman's worth... then the price doesn't really matter.

what matters most is for the marriage to last longer than the price you placed on the aso-ebi.

Whatever amount that is beyond what you can comfortably afford is termed too much.

Any amount you cannot freely dash out without straining your pocket



Myhoneypie:
The use of ‘aso ebi’ (uniform fabrics) at parties and other events is commonplace in some parts of the country, particularly in the South-West. However, there have been divided opinions about how much ‘aso ebi’ should cost, as some have been deemed to be too expensive. We asked a cross-section of Nigerians how much they think is too much to pay for ‘aso ebi’. Here are their responses

N20,000 is too much for ‘aso ebi’ – Bola Olarere

Between N3,000 and N5,000 is fine – Nweke Chigozie

It should not cost more than N55, 000 – Oladimeji Daniel Adeoye

Above N50, 000 is not okay – Sontyo Jimin James

How much did you think should be too much and too small

There is 1k aso ebi there is 100k Asoebi. Hang your bag where your hand reach. Most of your friends are likely on the same income level with you so that helps you to determine.

It certainly depend on your pocket. If you can’t afford it, simply don’t just buy. Many people buy asoebi just because they want to please the person inviting them.

There was a church member wedding I went for her wedding, didn’t buy her asoebi but gave her 5500 in an envelope and she was very happy unknown that what I gave he was the cost of her asoebi and some change
If an asoebi is costly for you, you will know and worrying yourself over it is deceiving yourself.

Years ago, there was a good friend of mine who wanted me to be one of his grooms men, he said he wants a uniform jacket and the cost was N40,000 for one. I sincerely told him that I will not buy if the jacket exceeds 15k, but would certainly attend the party and assist him on any errand he wants. He knows me well and he earns 5-6 times what I earn. Las las he asked me to bring what I have and he brought me the jacket.
Dem no dey kill body put, worrying oneself over an asoebi to me is childish

I don't buy or wear aso ebi unless it's for a very close relative. I don't like wearing uniform with anybody.

In fact, I don't like seeing colour code on wedding invitation. I make out time to honour you and you dictate what I should wear? Like magenta and onion?
I will make sure I don't wear anything near what you wrote. I'm the one doing you a favour honouring your invitation.
