“Was I wrong?”: Lady who refused her friend’s asoebi reveals what happened after gifting her over ₦100k
A Nigerian lady has stirred online debate after sharing her experience with a friend’s wedding and the rising cost of bridal asoebi.
The lady narrated on X, formerly Twitter, how her decision not to buy asoebi later affected her friendship, despite giving generous cash support.
What Happened at the Wedding
According to her post, the bride invited her to join the bridal asoebi, which cost ₦100,000.
She declined politely, explaining that she does not buy bridal asoebi.
On the wedding day, she said she gifted the bride an envelope containing more than ₦100,000.
The bride reportedly accepted the gift happily at the event.
Friendship Turns Shaky
Days after the wedding, the woman began hearing negative comments allegedly made about her.
She confronted the bride, who admitted she was unhappy about her refusal to buy the asoebi.
The lady revealed that the issue has since strained their friendship.
She added that she has only worn asoebi twice in her life and never paid for it.
Her Belief on Bridal Asoebi
The woman described herself as old-school, insisting bridal asoebi should be free.
She questioned how paying for bridal asoebi became normal in Nigerian weddings.
Her post has since triggered mixed reactions online.
While some supported her stance, others argued that joining asoebi shows loyalty and support.
The discussion continues as Nigerians debate tradition, friendship, and the rising cost of weddings.
