Reasons why you should stop buying Asoebi

It is generally known that there is no wedding ceremony or any other ceremony without "aso ebi". Although this aso ebi has been around for a long time, it has now taken on a new trend.

Asoebi was called "anco" years ago. It means a family outfit or a uniform. It is a cloth or uniform cloth worn at weddings, coronations and even funerals.

People perceive the purchase of aso ebi as a way of being faithful to the celebrant or the couples who organize the ceremony. Anyone who attends a ceremony without putting on the uniform will be considered an outcast.

Aso ebi is considered an essential part of Nigerian culture and seems unavoidable.

However, this comes with a lot of problems, especially for your account balance. Some aso ebi are usually overpriced with some going as high as 200,000 naira.

Here are five reasons why you should stop buying aso ebi or refrain from asking people to buy yours:

1. It's expensive

You must have noticed that all the aso ebi you bought are usually very expensive. Aso ebi goes up to 100,000 naira and above. Yes, some are cheaper but it depends on your purse.

You must cut your coat according to your material. Regularly buying Asoebi will only send you back to your village. If you make an intentional effort to stop buying Asoebi, you might regret it sooner or later.

2. Asoebi can destroy your account

As stated earlier, aso ebi is usually expensive. Buying every fabric chosen for every ceremony would only dig holes in your finances. You may find it very difficult to have a consistent savings lifestyle. Some parents go so far as to use their ward's school fees to get these fabrics for the holidays.

Many people think that it is obligatory for you to buy the aso ebi in order to integrate yourself among their friends. You forgot that your friends won't feed you when your account balance can't.

Let your bank account breathe for a month or two, at least. Buying aso ebi can cause great damage to your finances.

Note that for each aso ebi that you buy, you must also buy the accessories, shoes and bags that must accompany this outfit. Can you see your bank account will cry later?

3. This is a money-making system for celebrants

Aso ebi is a program for couples and celebrants to earn money. It's a secret you don't know. Many couples use it to earn more money for themselves. Greedy couples use it to exploit their relatives or guests. They force you to buy from them or the celebrants, and raise the price in order to gain more from the couple or the person celebrating.

4. It causes disparities

This is for those who make aso ebi obligatory for their occasion. Asoebi has been one of the reasons for the disparity and differences between people. This is especially when your guests have little or no money to buy the clothes. This makes it difficult for your guests to build relationships with others and participate in the event.

Buying an aso ebi can be very expensive. Adding the cost of sewing and accessories can deprive some people of food and the basic amenities of life.

5. It promotes the waste of money

One of the financially draining things could be aso ebi, especially when you have the same color in your wardrobe and need to buy that same color again.

Asoebi only wastes your resources and lets you unnecessarily show what you don't have.

Above all, the economy is not doing well. Aso ebi will only put you in more financial trouble. You can avoid buying these fabrics reasonably.
