WATCH THE VIDEO HERE Nollywood actress Lilian Afegbai has expressed her outrage and disappointment after being asked to pay a staggering $1,200 for an aso ebi, a traditional party uniform, for a friend’s wedding in Lagos. Taking to Instagram on March 26, 2025, Afegbai shared her shocking experience, revealing that she was initially thrilled to receive the wedding invitation from her friend. However, her excitement quickly turned to dismay when she saw the exorbitant price of the wedding fabric. “Are people really selling aso ebi in dollars now? Is this what weddings have come to?” Afegbai exclaimed, questioning the rationale behind the hefty price tag. She recounted her initial confusion, thinking the price was in Nigerian Naira, only to discover that it was indeed in US dollars. “I calculated what $1,200 would be in Naira, multiplying by 1,600. How many millions is that? For your own wedding! And I do? Is it my ‘I do?’ This is too much.” Afegbai’s post has sparked a heated debate about the commercialization of weddings in Nigeria, with many commenting in support of her stance.
