According to her, asoebi ladies spice up the occasion and it was only normal to give them nice gifts/souvenirs when they show up to support the bride.
She said at times, one had to buy asoebi of over N30k and still pay fashion designers to make classy styles.
The lady flaunted her beautiful asoebi outfit and noted that she spent money to look good. Hence, brides should do better.
Several netizens supported her claim, while others said buying asoebi was a way of supporting the couple. Hence, she should not complain.
