Nigerian actress Lilian Afegbai recently called out her Lagos-based friend for pricing the aso ebi fabric for her wedding at $1,200. In a post shared on Instagram, Afegbai expressed her shock upon seeing the price tag, initially thinking it was in Naira, but realizing it was actually in dollars after checking the link.
She questioned the growing trend of selling aso ebi in dollars, pointing out how excessive the practice has become. She also emphasized that weddings should not be about extravagant costs, urging people to remember that life continues after the wedding day. Afegbai’s post has sparked a conversation about the rising costs associated with Nigerian weddings, particularly the use of foreign currency for traditional ceremonies.
