Lady refuses to pay ₦20,000 for aso ebi
She explained that she first learned of the upcoming August wedding after seeing it on social media. Although she was not personally informed, she congratulated the bride and held no resentment. The situation shifted when she received a request for ₦20,000 to cover the aso ebi expense.
She initially agreed to the contribution, but changed her mind after noticing that the same payment details had also been forwarded to her aunt.
Lady explains why she declined
While discussing her experience online, she described feeling left out of the wedding preparations despite being expected to contribute financially.
You did the introduction, didn’t tell me, I saw it on TikTok, still said congrats. Wedding in August, you told everyone but me. I’m not upset. Then you sent “Aso ebi #20,000” to my WhatsApp. I said okay. Next thing, you sent it to my aunt plus account details… I just laughed in isiZulu because I won’t be sending you any money. Congrats in advance, my dear.
Her remarks have generated mixed reactions online, with users debating friendship expectations, wedding contributions, and the customs surrounding aso ebi payments.
