Lady accuses bride of being mean to asoebi girls
The lady, identified as @swemeshi_ali on TikTok, recounted the events that transpired during the wedding, which was held in a rural village devoid of basic amenities such as electricity, water, and network connectivity.
According to her, the bride did not consider her guests’ welfare, as they were forced to fend for themselves, covering their transportation and feeding costs.
The situation took a more painful turn when the asoebi girls were compelled to fetch water from a nearby river, as the bride had allegedly not made provision for drinking water.
To add insult to injury, the bride reportedly attempted to abandon them in the village, leaving them to find their own way back.

The lady and her companions were forced to ‘stand up for our rights’ and secure their transportation back home.
She claimed that the bride subsequently withheld souvenirs from them, citing their failure to participate in a traditional money-gathering ritual.
In her words:
“POV: We attended a Nigerian wedding and the bride was mean to us. We went for wedding in a village without light water or network. Bride didn’t provide feeding or transport for us we paid it all, we had to go to river to get water. Drinking water wasn’t even provided and this bride wanted to leave us behind in the village. Omo we had to stand up for our rights. She didn’t give us souvenirs cause she said we didn’t shake nyyash for men to get her money. Never have I ever seen something like this all my life.”
Each of the girls also took turns to share how the experience had been for them and how they felt about the situation.
