Actress and content creator Juliana Olayode has expressed concerns over the rising cost of Aso-ebi at Nigerian weddings.
She shared this in an Instagram video on Sunday, questioning why couples can’t provide an affordable purchase price.
“Good evening, folks, happy Saturday to you. To those getting married, why is your Aso-ebi so expensive? I think you people need to start picking colours because we have all the colours, ombre, onion red, pink, and purple.

“How can you be selling your asoebi for 500,000 Naira for just three yards? After spending so much to buy the clothes, you still expect us to spray/give you money at the party. The thing is that even the party clothes you can’t wear after the wedding. Why can’t you sell your asoebi for 25,000 or 20,000? We can make lovely styles with it. What’s wrong with that?” she said.
She also highlighted the challenges guests face at weddings despite the heavy spending.
“People get married every other day, so why can’t we just make it easy for people to attend the wedding, or is the money for the asoebi you want to use for the wedding? When you get to the wedding, there’ll be no seats. Everywhere is packed with content creators. What is it?” she questioned.
She finally told the couples to either pick the expensive asoebi or have the guests spray them at the party.
“Then you expect them to spray you. For what? Because you pick one. Either you pick your asoebi, or you pick the spray. I don’t think asoebi has to be that expensive. Make the price reasonable. We want to come and celebrate with you. Don’t make us tired,” she concluded.
