Nigerian actress Lilian Afegbai has cried out on social media after receiving an Aso-ebi with a dollar price tag.
Just recently, the movie star, who is known for her hilarious rants on social media about being a baddie living in Lagos, had fans glued to her story about Asoebi materials now having dollar price tags.
Asoebi has become a trend in Nigerian weddings, with the couple picking uniform fabrics for guests to buy and sew to be a part of their big day. Some of these fabrics have been known to have outrageous prices, but mostly in naira.

However, Lilian Afegbai recently got invited to a friend’s wedding and upon checking the invitation card, she discovered that the Asoebi was being sold for $1200 (N1.8 million).
She said:
“Una don dey sell Asoebi for dollars in Lagos? Make una relax, you people are doing too much, you’re doing the most.”
According to Lilian, the price tag made her do a quick calculation about what it would cost in naira. The movie star noted that the price was unbelievable for an outfit she would wear just once.
“I see dollar sign for the 1,200, na him I quickly carry my phone times 1,200 times 1600. How many million naira be that? For asoebi wey I go wear one time? For your own wedding? Your own happiness? For your own I do? No be my own I do, your I do”, she said.
The Nollywood star said that even though she understands that people think she has money, she does not, especially with the current situation of Nigeria’s economy.
