The ₦45k Aso Ebi That Almost Finished Me Last December

My cousin Folake sent the wedding aso ebi price last December and I just stared at my phone. ₦45,000. For one Ankara. And that was just the fabric o, not even sewing.

I called her like Folake shey you dey mad? She said it is her wedding and she wants us to look uniform. I said fine. I paid. Then the tailor collected another ₦15k and still gave me a dress that was tight for my chest and loose for my waist.

I wore it sha. Smiled in all the pictures. But when I got home that night I sat down and did the math. ₦60k total. That is more than my younger brother's school fees for one term. And he is in SS2. I still don't know how to feel about that.
