I know, I know. It’s been ages, and I have missed you too. Like
crazy! Pele, sorry, ema bi nu, ndo……..I am ashamed of myself. What kind of
blogger am I sef? Anyways, I’ve missed blogging and I’m glad to be back. I pray
I don’t go AWOL again J.
Hmmm, I have plenty to share with you guys o. Plenty things
I want to talk about. So, I am planning a wedding. Yep, I am getting married.
Wedding planning nor be joke o. That aside, the first thing I want to talk
about is Asoebi. Some people would tell you your wedding planning is not complete
without Asoebi. Well, I think Asoebi is nice. It adds colour to an occasion. However,
I did not intend to have it for my wedding o, but friends and family managed to
convince me otherwise. Now I have gone and bought fabric for a select few. The
others would have to go with the colour code.
Why did I not consider it initially? It is stressful. You
have to go shop for fabric, look for people to buy, ‘drag’ money …...I don’t have
that kind of energy biko. Also, money
that could have been used to do something else is tied up. Sometimes, until
after the wedding…….or forever. Some people may never pay up.
However, I just found out something else about Asoebi. It
is actually a way to raise money. Imagine my shock when I found out how much
gain someone made from selling Asoebi. Some people actually rip their friends
and family off in the name of selling Asoebi. Not cool. I wonder how many ‘Asoebi
wearers’ know this. I was talking with another person and he said most ‘Asoebi
wearers’ are aware, and that they see it as their contribution to the wedding. This is why some
of them don’t bother to get a gift.
Personally, I feel some kind of way about someone inviting
me to their wedding and ripping me off o. I know some people give out the
Asoebi for free though. But most times you can’t use them after one wash. Same
goes for some that did not even come free of charge.
What say you then? Did you know about gaining from Aso
