Nollywood actress Biola Bayo has made a case against asoebi.
In a video posted on her Instagram page, the Yoruba actress revealed that she has 8 Owambes before the end of the year, and it is approximately N2 million. She said she can’t afford it, as she noted that buying asoebi comes with additional expenses and the extra costs she has to incur at events.
Biola made it known that she would stop buying asoebi and start wearing what she already had, if they didn’t mind.
“Between now and the end of the year, I have like 8 Owambes. The cost of aso-ebi should be approximately N2 million. Dear friends and family, I am sorry I can’t afford it. It’s another thing to buy Asoebi; I will sew it, do my make-up, buy shoes and a bag, fuel my car, and spray money. I will still have to cancel jobs and appointments to ensure that day is for you. I will come for your party, but I will wear what I have if you don’t mind. But, if you tell me it’s strictly by asoebi, that means you’re telling me not to come. That the asoebi is more important than me.
Please, nobody should take this personally with me.
I cannot afford it, please.
If you give me, I’ll gladly make my Iro and Buba to come and honour you”.
In other news, Biola spoke out about arresting her assistant after she discovered that she was stealing from her. The mother of one noted that she isn’t one to dwell on people’s flaws, and no matter how hard one tries to please others, one can never be completely satisfied.
